Firefox Community Forum

My browser is not working as it should. Several sites do not work anymore and the browser keeps crashing. I'd like to refresh the browser, but the button is missing. I tried going to troubleshooting mode, but the button is not there either.

Not sure if uninstalling would do the same thing? Just not sure what is the best way to refresh. Thanks for any help!

Hi, Since three or four months, whenever I log into Outlook live, either on Mac or Windows PC, I get a security warning saying that the information will not be secure (Please see attachment.) When I log into the same account, from Edge for example, I do not get the warning popup. I really enjoy using Firefox and would love to continue but this case is worrying me a bit. Any idea to help? Thank you very much, Mathieu B.

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?

Hi, I have a pinned a website that will not show its icon (it won't when unpinned either).

Using the latest FF, Edge will show an icon. Is there a way to refresh FF and make it refetch the correct icon?

Thanks

Photo of the icon I do get.

I wrote about 15 mins ago. Just wanted to add that when I go to profiles and try to delete others, clicking delete takes me to a firef. standard home page (sans bookmarks) and nothing about the 3 flowers/finalizing the deletion!?

I am also concerned about this flower icon, on my mac dock...can't tell if that flower is an abnormality that it thinks my "orignal profile" is not the profile of main use. This isn't just aesthetics: it seems to be telling me if I delete the other profiles, it won't stop that freakin flower icon from KEEPING MY COMPUTER/F.FOX FROM SHUTTIGI DOWN?

All I know is, everytime I go back to manage profiles and open ancillary ones (e.g test 2, Mac 15 Air, etc) I end up with more firefox icons on the right side of my dock!

I continue to have issues with web site appearance. Whether I select "automatic" or off for "contrast control" previously visited links are turned purple. If I try "custom"’ for ‘Firefox’ nothing else seems to stay like I need it to be. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

when using two screens at the same time on windows 11, when switching to fullscreen mode, I get a part of the main screen from the right. I tried disabling extensions, it doesn't help. The latest versions of windows 11, drivers, and also the latest version of firefox are installed.

Last time I got a reply, it was telling me f.f had a 'known issue' sore. the "yo've reached your limit for this account profile..create another on!" I made one, but it was then as now inte f.frfering further (white flower icon, having two operating f.f P or more operating at same time-stp[[omg my mac from sleeping, interfereing other ways. WHAT I AM ASKINNG IS HOW TO DELETE THE 2ND AND OTHER PROFILES! I GO TO MANAGE PROFLES T, AND I SEE THE FLOWER ICONS IN LARGE OPEN FLOER ICON/DRAWINGS WITH 'DELETE' AND A TRASH/BIN ICON BELOW EACH. WHEN I TRY EITHER ONE OF THE OTHER PROFILES, IT JUST OPENS THE MAIN FF. PAGE WITH A BLANK SCREEN, NO BOOKMARKS/TOOLBAR...AND DIALOG BOX TO IMPORT P/W'S HOW DO I DELETE ANY PROFILE IF THIS SECLECTED METHOD IS FAILED? WORSE, UNDER THE PROFILE I TYPE HERE WITH, IT HAS BOTH ITS NAME, AND THAT DAMN FLOWER ICON BELOW IT WITH "ORIGINAL PROFILE". DOES THAT MEAN IT THINKS MY IDENTITY IS BORROWED FROM SOM OTHER IDENTITY? IS THAT WHY I CAN'T GET RID OF THE ANCILARY ONES? THE MOZ. ENGINEER WROTE ME BACK TO SAY THE 'CREATE NEW PROFILE' WAS B/C OF A GLITCH ON THEIR END...IS IT RESOLVED? I DON'T THINK SO..AND AT THE LEAST, THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN ME INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO REMOVE THAT FLOWER/OTHER IDENTITIES, W.O DELETING THE INFO (B/M) ON THE ONE I USE/WANT!

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.

Exported passwords as csv from Firefox from an ailing machine. Imported into browser on new pc and find two sites reject my logins (Outlook & Duolingo). No issues with any other logins. Same logins still working on the old pc. What gives?

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?

Unfortunately, Fusion does not work properly with the new Firefox. Firefox cannot be controlled using shortcuts such as H-headlines, E-input fields, B-button, insert+F7-link list, and insert+F6-heading list. Also, on most pages, you can't use Jaws controls like word-by-word reading or paragraph-by-paragraph reading, which is really limiting, especially with Outlook online. In Firefox 146, Jaws usually only recognizes the whole email as an image, and reading aloud only works if you use the mouse and navigate line by line, which is really hard if you're visually impaired. Since I don't want to give up Firefox permanently and am forced to switch to another browser, I am trying to get feedback to see if a solution can be found in the future so that I can continue using Firefox. If I notice any more errors, I will contact support again for assistance.

Best regards, Björn

Je n'arrive plus à marquer les pages d'un site que j'ai ouvert et que je veux conserver. Je constate cette anomalie depuis quelques jours seulement: qu'est-ce qui ne marche plus?
