Firefox Community Forum

There are 32 shortcuts on my home screen - 4 rows of 8 each. However, I accidentally "dismissed" one shortcut - now there are 31 total. I cannot figure out how to restore a shortcut. Is the solution in about:config (browser.newtabpage.pinned)?

Every time I shut down Windows and start it again, Firefox looses all custom configuration and does not navigate on any site. Other browsers do it: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge.

I have to go to Menu | Help | Technical Information and clear all of them AND I have to redo all my personalized configuration like: options, buttons, bars, tools and tabs, which I get from my backup (I use the extension: "Simple Tab Groups").

How to fix it? I use Firefox for decades and I have never had this issue.

Thank anyone for any enlightenment. Ivens

Hello community, I'm a lifelong Google Chrome user just now transferring to Mozilla Firefox and I was wondering if it's possible to tab-to-search with, for example, youtube? Here is an example of a person doing the exact same thing I'm trying to achieve. Thank you!

I needed to add another user to our windows 10 computer. The user has their own windows login. They have their own Mozilla user account, but somehow are getting all bookmarks, etc from my account. I really need them to not be able to do that. I have searched the info here and haven't had any luck following the suggestions.

In the meantime, the other user is using MS edge, which makes me uncomfortable

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I changed a global setting in the KDE Breeze theme to always show scrollbar arrows. It works in most windows but not in Firefox, which refuses to display them. Is there a way to fix this? It is a major accessibility problem.

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.

A bit of background, I have been working on systems since the Commodore Vic 20, so I'm not 'new' or would typically be helpless as many are if they have system problems.

Over the last week I decided to format my Mac and re-install the operating system. I have a lot of graphics design that I will be doing for an unknown period of time. I have over the years collected many free fonts and I started installing them about 5 days ago. I don't believe my installing fonts wouldf have affected anything within Firefox, but Firefox is the only browser that I'm having this problem with. I checked Safari and google displays everything as it should as well; my graphics deisgn software forums are displaying fine. I have not used google for anything during the period that I was installing the fonts, so I don't know exactly when this started but yesterday I discovered it.

I tried going to the menu on the top right hand corner -> Help -> More Troubleshooting Info -> Refresh Firefox. I then went into MacCleaner Pro -> Clear Cache and Clear Purgable Data. Then restarted the machine. No change.

I then saved my passwords and bookmarks, then uninstalled Firefox using MacCleaner Pro and then went to Remove Remaining files.

Downloaded a new copy of Firefox and the problem still exists.

I tried changing the theme to others. Went to Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance. Set theme to dark, then back to automatic. Changed the main font from (Default) Times to Times New Roman and back to (Default Times) ... but still this problem exists...

Help... Please and thank you.

I can not remove download window. I have gone into config and set to false, but as soon as I download something it resets to true. I absolutely hate and have always hated that thing. Any ideas??

Hello,

I keep trying to use my plug in USB security key on bofa.com (for my Bank of America account log in MFA), but it keeps asking for a challenge phrase. I don't have any idea what this is. Can you help?

The request that pops up says:

'Making Sure It's You'

Please sign into "bankofamerica.com".

This request comes from the app "firefox.exe" by Mozilla Corporation.

Then has a blank line to enter 'Challenge Phrase'

• • I have no idea what this is. I do not recall setting up a "Challenge Phrase" on Windows or Firefox browser. Can you help me with this PLEASE?! I don't know what else to do!

I have tried several times to remove the security completely and re-add to the bofa.com website, I have tried to reset the security key itself back to factory.

All of a sudden, a site I visited appeared at the top of my login pages. Just below the search bar. It contains “import bookmarks,” “getting started,” “and this site.” I don’t want any of that there. I thought I had all memory stuff shut off. Can’t figure out a way to delete it. Can you help.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or me not using FF properly.

I want Firefox in general to ask me, which profile to use when started. So in the Profile-Manager, I removed the checkbox for "Use selected profile without asking as startup".

Now, I wanted to create a shortcut for a specific profile, so I tried running `firefox -P "myProfile"` or even `firefox -p "/path/to/myProfile"`. In both cases I get the window asking me which profile to use.
