Firefox Community Forum

After being nagged to update to the latest version of Firefox, i did so thinking all the windows and tabs would be restored. I have been thru multiple updates with with no problems in the past. I have been through most of the self help but nothing works. The restore last session is greyed out.

I do not speak geek.

I have noticed for some time when I access Facebook the site reacts very slowly and hangs up frequently. When I access Facebook on the Chrome browser I don't experience the same problems. So, it appears my Facebook issue is a Firefox browser issue. Can anyone please help and explain how I can improve my Facebook experience while using Firefox. Appreciate any help. Thank you.

When I click on a PDF link it will auto download the PDF but then if I click on the same link again it opens it inline. I want it to always open inline and if I wish to save it I'll manually do that.

I've looked around and I found this that mentions using browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir and browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline. While setting the downloads to be in the tmp dir is nice for not clogging up my downloads it still doesn't solve the issue of opening and not saivng. The setting for opening pdf attachments inline sounds like it should fix it but still every time the first time I click it, it starts downloading it.

Is there any other setting that could stop this or some reason why those settings might not apply in all situations?

When I go into Meetup.com to logon to my account the captcha function doesn't work and the LOG IN button does not enable. Before the last update it worked fine (My current version is 153.0.1). I contacted Meetup and they tell me the problem is in the browser. I am running an old version of Firefox on my Windows 7 laptop and the captcha works fine, I am able to Log on using Firefox on my laptop. Something is wrong with the last Firefox update.

After updating to Firefox 153.0.1 on my 2026 MacBook Pro Silicon running Tahoe 26.5.2, my Firefox sidebar refuses to open, either by toggling the menu bookmark sidebar icon or pressing the shortcut keys.

I've enabled the FireFox VPN in my browser, but it's annoying because I have to turn on the VPN every time I start FireFox! Why does the VPN not start automatically? I've searched all the options, but there doesn't seem to be one to fix this problem.

perhaps if you just had a few empty boxes so someone could write in the name of the search engine and firefox would know the complex URL's connected to the name of the search engine.............

I am having terrible problems with my Outlook email account and want to create a gmail account. After I create my User name and password I am asked to verify a QR Code. One must have a Smart phone to verify it and I only have a plip phone which does not work.

I was told that if I went to your browser and opened a private or incognito internet window and went to the google Account sign in page I could skip the verification code and continue with creating the gmail account.

Can you help me?.

I was watching some German video (not on YouTube) and needed the subtitles translated into English. The translation itself was great, but as the video went the subtitles were switching from original language to translated, making it almost impossible to read them. The subs are fine when I press 'pause', but pressing it all the time in the moment of a long dialogue for example is inconvinient. I wonder if there's a way I can fix it myself in the browser's settings, or if it's a bug that will be fixed in future updates

I have a Firefox account I use as my default work browser. My organization's latest software updates forced me to re-install the latest version of Firefox. I specifically un-checked the box when installing that suggested clearing my settings and extensions, etc because I wanted to retain the way my profile was configured. When I logged back into my account, ALL of my settings, extensions, and YEARS of bookmarks I need to do my job have been completely wiped, and there seems to be nothing in my account that will allow me to recover them--the profile I've been using for year seems to have been completely reset, with all its history completely wiped.

Is there any possible way I can recover my bookmarks?? I did not create an external backup and realize that makes things harder, but I assumed my profile would retain its history as it was tied to an account I was always logged into.

Seit dem letzten Update auf 153.0.1 sind alle Lesezeichen aus der Lesezeichenleiste verschwunden. Die Wiederherstellung aus der .json- Datei in meinem FF-Profilordner, in dem sich die 12 Einträge befinden funktioniert nicht. Wie kann ich die Lesezeichen wieder herstellen? Ich habe keine Admin-Rechte.

Leider hatte ich FF auf automatisches Update eingestellt, das hab ich jetzt ausgeschaltet.
