Firefox Community Forum

Last update trashed my book marks, did you sell out to Microsoft? Toll bar gone try to fix but when I logoff it resets to trash. Not happy!!!! Oh I ready did the so called trouble shooting!

I have used Firefox as my browser for many years. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 10,PRO installed. I have installed some new software and now need to "reset" my computer in order to use the new software. My question concerns how, if there is a way, to save TABS and other items BEFORE doing the "reset". I have found several "suggestions" on how to do this, but here is one I would like your response. I found this on Chrome;

If you use Chrome browser, you can also go to Chrome's settings > On startup, and choose the "continue where you left off" option. This way when you relaunch the browser, it will carry on.

My question: Does Firefox have similar solution? I did a Firefox search and was unable to find any similar comments, although it is possible I was not searching in the right place. That's why I am asking this question. Please respond if Firefox has an answer or someone has posted an answer.

Thanks, krazykat1

When Firefox ver. 143.0.4 (64bit) is opened, I see many tiny groups of black dots withing the whole of the desktop display of this Firefox. From these black dots I see coloured lines traveling across the desktop within the Firefox desktop display. As I move the mouse these coloured lined move, disappear, and move around. Can you offer any suggestions. I am using Ubuntu UALinux Gamepack 22.04, The version of Firefox is an upgrade provided by Firefox updates. I have tried to uninstall this version of Firefox, same effect occuring. I have manually deleted every referance to Firefox, as this worked in UALinux Gamepack 20.04. I have used sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt --fix-broken install, and sudo dpkg --configure -a. None of these can fix this problem. I restarted my Firefox today with the same problem, and found in the Help dropdown menu, and found troubleshoot mode. When I opened in troubleshoot mode, all these problems are not there any more.

Can you offer any help ??????

P.S. I tryed to take a screenshot of this problem, but the screenshot doesn't show this problem ?

Restore previous session, in history, is an important setting. It has now disappeared completely as an option even though restore windows and tabs is ticked. Need to go deeper than the superficial help .

I can't delete some websites from advanced tracking protection, I type in a website but it doesn't add it to the list. One site is mail.proton.me. Even the ones that are added still don't load when I open Firefox, they are telling me I have connectivity issues. This has only started happening since the last updat. Everything work perfectly on Chrome! What is the point of having tabs and pinning them if you have to open them manually every time you log on?

My problem is that Firefox will no longer allow me to login to my primary websites (email, bank, Costco, Apple...). I originally assumed that my outdated version of the MacOS was the problem, which was tied to the age of my outdated iMac hardware. Hence, I bought a new iMac, with the latest MacOS. Firefox still does not work. There is something wrong with Firefox and I don't know what it is. I have captured screenshots of the symptoms of what goes wrong with each website, but the one thing in common is that they are saying it is an application error on my end of the connection — which must be the browser (Firefox). I am being forced to do my daily business with Safari, but that is a strange browser for me, and they do not have my numerous Bookmarks. Also, their way of storing bookmarks is very strange, so I only have 5 — the ones that I have found so far that do not work with Firefox. There are probably more, maybe All of my bookmarks, but these are the 5 that I need every day.

Figure 1. Outlook (my email) When I log into my email, the result is Figure 1. This appears to me an application error on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 2. Costco.com When I log into Costco.com, the result is Figure 2. This appears to me an application error on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 3. Apple.com When I log into Apple.com, the result is Figure 3. This is Apple telling me there is something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 4. BankofAmerica.com When I log into my account at Bank of America, everything looks fine at first. But when I try to open my checking account, the result is Figure 4. This symbol, swirling forever, indicates something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 5. Hallmark.com When I log into Hallmark.com, everything looks fine at first. But none of the links will open, hence I cannot obtain any information about upcoming TV programs. This indicates something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

All the above examples work perfectly with Safari. Firefox is supposed to be the most up-to-date browser, so why has Firefox stopped working properly?

Hi Everyone,

I have tried everything I can to get firefox to work correctly. This morning I woke up to webpages not loading correctly, my emails being unable to be opened, youtube not loading videos, and google result websites not loading. Everything was working roughly 12 hours ago.

I have tried refreshing firefox, clearing my cookies and cache, and uninstalling with revo and then reinstalling. My computer is up to date and I have tried resetting it. Is there anything I need to/ can do to get Firefox working properly again?

Thank you!

Hi, I created mozilla account and turned on synchronization to save my passwords, history, etc. After I done it, I formatted my pc. Now I've just downloaded mozilla and log in to my account to see that NONE of my data were saved... How is it even possible? I turned synchronization on and then selected which data I want to save. Will you be able to help my with that?

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

My browser updated and now I've lost all my logins and passwords. Anyone know how I get this information back?

I have tried to find the old Firefox Backup on the desktop and the only one I have is from Dec 2024 - no backup from yesterday.

My shortcuts no longer appear on my homepage. This just started happening. Shortcuts are still enabled in my settings. I refreshed Firefox. The shortcuts reappeared for a while, then disappeared again when I closed/reopened Firefox. I am on Windows 11 O/S
