Even though my laptop, tablet, phone and PC have the language settings set to English (GB) my Firefox across all platforms has changed from displaying English results to displaying results in French. I have gone through and changed all my language settings in and outside of the browser from English (Canada), to English (GB) to no avail. It still shows up in French. and I have had an French to English translator popping up when searching in Firefox. I can't see anywhere else to change the language. Everywhere I see, it says English (GB), but still displays French headings to the searchs. Any help will be great. Thanks.

I accidentally closed Firefox with about 100 tabs open (doing research). I still had one ff window open with only one tab and I went to History (there is no session restore on my firefox-been thru that before) and selected restore recent tabs. That only opened about 10 tabs . BUT, now that becomes my " previous session" so how do I get my earlier session back. If I close FF and then open, all I get is that window with 10 useless tabs. This has happened before so I have FF set as default, and "open to previous window/tabs is selected". So how do I get my previous session open?

bold textdownloading only produces " .part " files in my downloads directory. I had previously attempted a large file download but error message said it was not completed. Now cannot download anything

I have been using Firefox as my primary browser in Windows and Linux Mint for many years, and I have always found it to work when other browsers would not. Recently (last few months) functions in Ancestry.com stopped working. I thought that the problems were within the Ancestry system, and getting help within Ancestry was very difficult. I finally got a help chat session a short time ago and learned that everything in Ancestry should work using the Chrome browser. Very reluctantly, I loaded the Chrome browser on one of my Windows 11 computers, and suddenly all of the functions within Ancestry worked properly. I sincerely hope that FIrefox will soon resume being fully functional with Ancestry.com.

After my Windows 10 laptop being in sleep mode I found my background picture changed and all my Firefox tabs missing (while my bookmarks, add-ons, history etc. saved, and all other apps functioning properly). Recently Closed Windows menu was inactive and using Restore option in Library had no effect (despite availability of recent saves).

I found out that Mozilla folder was just missing in %appdata% (e.g. Profile Folder in about:support leaded to a non-existent directory). No manual changes to Firefox settings/data were made and no new profiles created.

What might be the problem and are there any ways to restore my tabs?

I don't like the default homepage provided by Firefox, so I found an extension that can offer better tabs. But when I open Firefox, my homepage doesn't show the page provided by the extension. It's still Firefox's default homepage. Only when I open a new tab will the page provided by the extension appear. Also, the settings don't offer the option to replace Firefox's default homepage with the page provided by the extension. I need to replace the homepage from Firefox's default homepage to the tab provided by the extension.

Firefox does not allow me to post comments on New York Post. The comment section says I must log in to post, but I am already logged in. I can log out and log back in again, but still not allowed to post as it says I need to log in. When I change browsers there is no difficulty posting after logging in. What setting on Firefox is preventing me from posting on NY Post?

My RoboForm Mozilla add-on stopped working and I tried to uninstall then reinstall the app. When I try to reinstall the extension, the following pop-up occurs: RoboForm Start Page has detected RoboForm browser extension but cannot connect with it. Please update RoboForm browser extension. How do I update the RoboForm browser extension? Thanks for any help you can provide to resolve this issue.

So today I was using firefox for work with multiple tabs open, I try to open a new tab and I get this message " Restart to keep using firefox"

I have updates set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" And the browser was fully updated to the newest update apart from this newest one?

Every time I try to open a new tab I keep getting this message mean I was unable to save my work and lost multiple tabs ?

Can someone explain this ?

Today, a white bar about 1 inch wide is at the top of my screen blocking the tool bar and access to other info. How do i remove it?

I have restarted my computer and closed the browser. Still there.

Push notification banner from YouTube stays on desktop without closing after 5 seconds. Why? Windows 10 never had this issue. With Windows 11, it worked after a clean install and then it stopped. Why? I checked all settings within Windows.

Settings / Accessibility / Visual effects (ON) / Dismiss Notification after this time amount (5 Seconds) / Notifications checked (ON).

The notification banner hangs and never closes. Google search tells us how to enable and disable. IT HAS NOTHING FOR CLOSING BANNER AFTER 5 SECONDS.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with the search bar on the Firefox homepage. When I click into the search field and begin typing, the cursor jumps to the address bar, and the text I’m entering gets redirected there instead of staying in the search bar.

I've checked my search settings, and everything seems to be in order. I’ve also tried disabling add-ons, but the issue persists. Could you please assist me in resolving this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Tivadar Tot

I would like to be able to store a bookmark in more than one location. I don't believe this is possible since when I move my bookmark, it gets deleted where is used to be when I move it.

En mi PC anterior tenía activa la sincronización de marcadores, la PC anterior fue robada, ahora al iniciar de nuevo con mi cuenta en Firefox, mis marcadores no se sincronizaron y perdí una gran cantidad de información recopilada en durante este año, algunos cursos que tomé y muchas referencias de accesos a sitios web.

Que se puede hacer para recuperar esta información?

When I go to History and then Clear Recent History with History and Temporary File checked and the hit Clear nothing happens.

I found that I can delete the histories one by one with the Delete key.

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, vimeo.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window. Many websites show this. How to overcome this

I've installed firefox with pacman on Linux, and I installed arkenfox. It did not work, I tried other user.js', none worked. I've also tried wiping my entire firefox root folder, then using arkenfox, but did not work.

The Adobe Acrobat Add-On Extension for Firefox was missing so I attempted to add it from Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. I have had to do this manually by installing from the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file. This usually has worked. When i tried to add it this time is said the add-on file was corrupt.

I tried uninstalling and redownlading AdobeAcrobatPro 2017 thinking this would add an uncorrupted file and got the same the same message. Unfortunately, because I had used the Adobe license key too many times for Acrobat 2017 on my computer I had to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020. i had hoped this would solve the problem. But no, I get the same message corrupt file message even with a new copy of the Acrobat Pro 2020.

What is going on? Can anyone help with this?

I've been trying to watch live sports events on SECN+ through my Hulu subscription, but I'm encountering an error message stating, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I discovered that Firefox is blocking the stream, while it works perfectly on Chrome. With the college football season and other sports events approaching, I’m concerned that if this issue persists, I may have to stop using Firefox, which I've relied on for over two decades. Please help me fix this issue at your earliest convenience. Thanks.
