FF updated to 150 and I tried to use the new VPN feature but couldn't find it. Looked up the directions and couldn't find where it was supposed to be. After trying the hamburger, more tools and customize toolbar I made the mistake to 'reset toolbar'. I lost my extension shortcuts and when I tried hamburger-more tools-customize toolbar they weren't there. I tried doing it from the extension page, no luck, then I tried to disable the extensions and reenable in hopes their icons would repopulate the toolbar, no luck. Is there a way to do this? It's like FF is blocking me from adding them from the customize toolbar page and the extensions page. Also, I never did find the FF VPN either after it updated to FF 150.

Thanks in advance!!

Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

Today (4/27/2026) I am suddenly unable to log in to My Account on various websites (eMail, grocery store...) The business page opens but when I try to go to the account login page, I either get a blank page or the page spins and spins and never goes to the login page. I am able to get to the logins on Safari. I've cleared cache and cookies, and closed out of Firefox and reopened.

All of my history except of today's has disappeared. I did not erase my history, and really need it back. I did try to remove a couple of sites from my Most Visited, as Firefox was saving all sorts of sites I don't really visit often. In addition, I am being asked to sign in with my password at every site I go to where as before I was automatically allowed to enter, as all my passwords are saved. What happened - and how can I get back to normal?

Contributor note: bookmarks are also missing (/questions/1578816).

If the VPN is open in one user account on a given computer, is it functioning on all accounts on this computer? I have difficulty turning the VPN on when using one user account if it is already on in another user account. Seems to be a conflict and I don't know if it is even necessary.

Download Issues My downloads have stopped displaying. Each page of a download is now just a black screen. Any advice as to how I can restore them?

I HAVE FINISHED SET-UP BUT I AM STILL BEING PROMPTED TO FINISH, WHY FIREFOX IS MY DEFUALT BROWSER IHAVE IMPORTEDTED SETTINGS AND MY SYNC IS COMPLETE UNDER MY PROFILE

What happened: 1) I wanted to create a Passkey for a website and store it in Bitwarden. 2) Bitwarden pop-up opened, but while exploring the options, I accidentally clicked on the option "Use your device or hardware key: Always for this website". 3) Windows Defender dialog popped up with the options "iPhone, iPad or Android device" and "Security key" 4) I backed out of the dialog window 5) I clicked the button to create a Passkey again but going forward only the Windows Defender pop-up appears

The problem: I now cannot create a Passkey to store in Bitwarden on a specific website, because I accidentally clicked on "Use your device or hardware key: Always for this website".

What I've tried that didn't work: - looking through Bitwarden settings - deleting Firefox cookies - doing the same thing in Private Browsing - asking AI and looking through about:config, about:preferences and about:logins, as well as trying to find profile files related to webauth

Found workaround: - creating the Passkey from a different Mozilla profile

I would still very much like to be able to undo the "Always for this website". Is there a way to do that? (Attached images were captured later when recreating the situation.)

I just started using Firefox (instead of Safari) and when I try to sign into some of my websites (e.g. banking) they want to send my a security code to verify it is me. I NEVER get those text messages/SMS. Most of the times I found a work-around, like having them email the code, but for my bank they only will send it as a text message. Is it some setting I need to adjust in Firefox?

helloooo

i am experiencing an issue with firefox where backup (Firefox Backup) is not working since version 148.0

problem: - when I try to create a backup, i get the error: “Hmm, there was a problem with the backup. Please try again in a few minutes.”

what I have already tried: - enabled and disabled backup password - changed the backup folder/location - cleared browser cache - tested across multiple updates (issue persists)

- backup is enabled, but I cannot create one - the error occurs every time - restarting the browser and system did not help

Firefox now blocks my email account... https://my.netzero.net/start/login.do I can log in through Microsoft Edge, however Firefox no longer allows this.

I cannot access spectrum.net on firefox. The circle of death continues for hours and nothing come up. Have firefox and duck duck go in use. I have to open Chrome to get to the site.
