Firefox Community Forum

When ever I shut down browser clears history and most importantly signs me out of all my accounts making me to sign in for every account I have. I need to stay signed in all my accounts.

I have been having a problem for weeks with Firefox where it keeps resetting my default search engine to Yahoo. I tried a lot of things, including looking through all my extensions for anything untoward and most recently refreshing Firefox. The problem remains active. I would really like to not have to keep resetting my search engine every day.

Post-refresh, I find that Firefox is opening new tabs from links on pages I visit. That one is a REAL pain to deal with. It seems to kick in more on commercial pages than other pages. How do I stop that one? I already appear to be clear of bad extensions and I already refreshed Firefox1

I recently noticed that my Microsoft account remains active after I sign out if I press the back button. All my personal and account information is still displayed, indicating that the account is still signed in. I even tried clearing all browsing data and history, but that didn't resolve the issue. This doesn't happen with my Gmail account, nor when I access my Microsoft account using Edge or Chrome.

I understand that closing the browser likely signs me out, but I have no way to confirm that unless I check for active devices in my account settings. Can you explain why this timeout issue occurs? It seems odd, especially since Mozilla prioritizes security and privacy.

When I type "moo" in the address bar, the first suggestion (which is auto-completed and loads when I press Enter) is the website's base URL "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/" instead of the webpage that I have bookmarked "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/my/courses.php".

This is really annoying because it ends up costing me too many extra clicks to get to the webpage I actually need, especially since this is a website that I have to use often.

How can I prioritize the bookmarked option over the base URL?

I have already tried switching search and suggestion options in the settings, removing the homepage with the base URL from the history, and tweaking the frecency settings in about:config, but nothing worked.

I don't have, and think I never had, an authenticator app. So how is the replacement MacBook requiring 2-step authentication that requires an authentication app before I can sync to my Win 10 websites? I am new to the MacBook, and it would help to know if it has an authenticator app, and how to get it to work with Firefox.

I'm running Fx Version 144.02 and still do not have a profile selector icon on my menu. I've tried manually to make it happen by going to about:config and changing (browser.profiles.enabled) to true but nothing happens.

I recently downloaded some Microsoft updates. When these were completed, and after restarting my computer, my Bookmarks & History were missing. I've attached a screen shot showing the error message. I've tried multiple links to recommended steps for correcting this, but nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions?

Websites like Medicare.gov give message like "We can't process your request at this time." This happens with increasing frequency on pages I know are valid and secure. MS Edge opens them with no problem.

Another example - my bank web site. Firefox triggers a whole series of confirmation tests from them but Edge gets in with just ID and password.

I am using a VPN from Malwarebytes. Windows 11 is the OS. Latest version of Firefox is installed (144.0.2 (64-bit))

I have been a long time Firefox user, but am starting to drift away to Edge because it connects to more web sites with less hassle.

What are my options?

Hello, All bookmarks disappeared after last update on Sunday 11.2.25. Is there a way to search some files and recover them? This is currently a big problem for me as all bookmark are related to our business.

Hi guys,

I'm on my personal computer and personal account and my "network administrator" (which I don't have) has turned on restricted mode in YouTube so I can't read comments on videos etc. I know I need to change my browser security settings, but I don't know to what exactly. Can anyone help? The restricted mode is infuriating me.

When doing a search I receive a message " Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to af.xdock.co. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG"

How do I fix this issue?

description in German:

Ich habe vor langer Zeit ein Addon installiert. Jetzt wollte ich Firefox neu dekorieren. Deshalb habe ich das Addon in die Sidebar geschoben. Unten links in der Sidebar war dann der kleine Knopf für das Addon. Dadurch konnte das Addon aber nicht auf den aktuellen Offenen Tab zugreifen, jedenfalls hat es nicht funktioniert wie vorher. Also hab ich auf das add on Rechtsklick gemacht und es aus dem Sidebar gelöscht. Es ist jetzt nicht mehr in der Sidebar.

Leider schaffe ich es jetzt nicht mehr, das Addon wieder als Knopf in der oberen Leiste also über den Lesezeichen zu platzieren. Es taucht noch auf wenn ich den Knopf für Addons drücke, und es aus der Liste auswähle.

Kontext: Firefox on Windows Addon, was ich verschoben habe: Addy.io

Problem: Ich will das Addon wieder schnell öffnen können. Es ist nicht weg, es ist nur woanders.

Wie füge ich es wieder der Symbolleiste (oder dem Overflow Menu) hinzu?
