Hi,

In the search bar (I’m not sure about its official name), my previous searches used to appear as suggestions before Google’s own suggestions. However, since I changed my default search engine from Google US to Google UK, it no longer seems to remember the searches I make. I’ve tried switching back to Google US, but that didn’t restore the behavior. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

For example, I previously searched for “things to see in Latvia”, which is why it appears as a suggestion in the screenshot. But if I now search for “things to see in Louvre Museum” and then try the same search again a few hours or days later, it isn’t saved and therefore doesn’t appear as a suggestion.

Thank you!

CTRL-Tab stops cycling in most recently used order

Despite having the setting "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" selected, CTRL-Tab has suddenly stopped cycling tabs in the most recently used order. Firefox behaves as if the setting is disabled. This is the third time I've experienced this issue in the past year, and every time the only solution that worked was to create a new profile. It is exhausting to get a new profile back to exactly how the old profile was, and it's something I shouldn't have to do.

Scenario: I am on Windows 11 (though I think this has also happened to me on Windows 10), currently using version 146.0.1 (though this has happened on previous versions). CTRL-Tab cycles in the most recently used order just fine for several months, then it suddenly doesn't—this happens in the middle of an active session, i.e., not after a restart of the browser nor the computer itself. I have four add-ons, none of which control tab cycling, nor have I added/removed any add-ons nor changed any of their settings since their initial installation many months ago.

What I've tried:

  • Disabling/re-enabling the setting (even though it is already checked)
  • Disabling/re-enabling the config browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed
  • Restarting Firefox normally
  • Restarting with add-ons disabled—note that the issue persists even with add-ons disabled
  • Disabling the setting, then restarting Firefox, then re-enabling the setting
  • Restarting the computer

It's the same thing described in this Reddit thread. What else can I try?

I have at least one question on the support forum which has never been answered. So I went to Bugzilla, and discovered dozens of YouTube issues under the Open/Unconfirmed status.

I can reproduce my problems. I'm sure others can reproduce their problems. Nothing is done. NOT EVEN admitting there is a problem.

If I can't use YouTube on Firefox (I can't), then why am I using FF? It is one of the biggest sites on all of the internet. But FF apparently doesn't care if it doesn't work.

What. Is. Going. On?

Missing Topics in Firefox Home

Firefox 146.0.1 (aarch64) macOS 26.2 (25C56) on M2 Pro

Hello.

I'm dealing with a strange issue that began with Firefox 146.0 and continues with 146.0.1. I previously blocked categories I do not care about such as Parenting, Cooking, and others. When doing so, for some reason some of my followed topics including Sports, NFL and NHL no longer appear along with the rest of the topics I've followed. (Please notice only followed sports-related topics disappeared...)

Checking the settings for Firefox Home shows no blocked topics (even those I have explicitly blocked), and checking what I can think to think via about:config shows me nothing I can edit to get my desired topics back.

So, I'm not sure what to edit to get my missing topics back. If they were blocked because of some bug, i cannot see blocked topics in the Firefox Home settings, so I cannot unblock them if that's what would need to be done. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve it or are you aware of some BugZilla or GitHub issue I can watch for this one?

Any help will be certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Once again I have experienced that my Bookmarks disappeared. Some months ago, I had a HTML backup made, for easy Import. Now I started out by shutting down Firefox, followed by a restart. That worked last time (without import) This time it did no change. I shut down Firefox, and restarted the PC....... no change. (without import) Then I shut down Firefox and restarted the PC. Opened Firefox, and wanted to import the Bookmarks from the HTML file. The system comes up with a message stating that the file does not contain any bookmark references. ( Opening the HTML file using Firefox, reveals that all bookmarks are there, and can be used ) I uninstall Firefox, and re-install it . Flw. I try the import once again, using the HTML file...... to no avail. What am I missing here ?? My final option appears to be moving the bookmark one by one.. rather time consuming.

I already updated a few weeks ago (and lost all my bookmarks, passwords etc in that process, which was infuriating) and yet every day I get a notification in the "open application menu" telling me I need to upgrade. And every time I check the version of firefox I'm using, it says it's up to date (like I just did now--see the pic). Again, last time I got prompted the same way to download a new version, I lost everything. Why does it keep telling me I need to update? And how do I turn those notifications off?

When trying to access Facebook via the Firefox browser, the browser screen immediately grays-out and freezes? It is the only web site doing this, and it doesn't happen with other browsers. I have attempted to contact Mozilla technical support and their only response is to refer me to a forum, instead of providing actual technical support. I have reinstalled Firefox, I have created a new profile, I have cleared my browser history, emptied the cache, etc., yet this problem persists. How do I get actual, real Mozilla technical support from Mozilla for help with this issue, instead of being referred to a forum, or do I just not use your product due to lack of actual customer support? How do I contact an actual person at the Mozilla corporate offices about lack of real Mozilla customer support?
