Firefox Community Forum

Against my better judgement I download the latest update for Firefox, now my computer is a mess. Things like the row of saved sites between the search line and the space where web address shows is gone. I can find the web sites , but I want the line back. I don't understand ANY of your directions or support pages. I am old and can't keep up with technology any more - I'm about five years behind.

If I just uninstall the latest version of firefox will that fix it? Or will it uninstall ALL of firefox. And please don't give me long involved directions or I will just give up because I don't understand.

I installed a extension called MAL-Sync and tried to authenticate with one of my accounts. When I went onto the websites Simkl, MyAnimeList and AniList, I was not able to access some features. For Simkl none of the 'buttons' worked, disallowing me from logging in. MyAnimeList gives a "400 Bad Request." AniList says that it requires JavaScript. I checked to see that I have java script enabled, which I do since Firefox has it enabled by default. I checked my extensions and after disabling the only one that said disabled java script it still doesn't work. What do I do?

Which version of Firefox (Windows, Mac & Linux) will make the local network access (LNA) enhancement generally available? We at Box would like to inform our joint enterprise users and administrators to expect this enhancement and provide them guidance on how to manage this change.

After a PC reboot, when I launched firefox, all of my data was gone (extensions, bookmarks, passwords, etc) and it was as if I was launching Firefox for the first time. I wasn't sure if something happened to cause firefox to become corrupted, so I did a complete reinstall (uninstalled firefox + deleted all mozilla folders + deleted mozilla registry entries).

After reinstalling, Firefox now does not ask where to save files. Both "Always ask you where to save files" and "Ask whether to open or save files" are enabled in firefox settings. browser.download.alwaysOpenInSystemViewerContextMenuItem , browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel , and browser.download.always_ask_before_handling_new_types in about:config are all true as well.

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue and get firefox working as normal?

gmail wants eat my cookies and will not let me play because I have them blocked. I restarted my computer but changed nothing since yesterday when gmail was perfectly happy with my crumbs?

In Windows 10, I could open Manage Bookmarks with one mouse click on Manage Bookmarks on the Bookmarks toolbar, and the bookmarks would open at the top of my organized list, with the Bookmarks Menu already displaying. One click! Fantastic!

Now, in Windows 11 I am unable to open Manage Bookmarks on the toolbar, as it doesn't exist, and does not exist in the Customize toolbar display either. Instead I must click on the "Show Your Bookmarks" icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, then click on Manage Bookmarks, then must scroll the results to the top, then click on Bookmarks Menu. This procedure, compared to how simple things were with Firefox, using Windows 10, is a real waste of valuable time.

Is there any way to open Manage Bookmarks, with Bookmarks menu displayed, with one click of an icon on the Bookmarks toolbar, as was the case with my Windows 10?

I have the settings set to ask where to download files I'm saving to my computer. When downloading and/or printing a document, Firefox saves a copy to my desktop even after the "save to" prompt and saving the file to a specific location. How can I stop this?

Thank you in advance!

Problems have arisen since upgrade to version 145:

1. There are massive accesses of the hard drive.

2. The email system for charter.net is putting out sporadic errors "Something didn't work quite right. Please try again."

I know the problem is with Firefox because when I do the same thing using Google Chrome there are no issues.

Here is my situation. Firefox 145.0.2 is NOT open. A link from another app (like Thunderbird) opens Firefox, but it opens without a title bar. How can I make it open Firefox with a title bar?

I have Google Calendar open in a Firefox tab. I want to add the tab to my Mac desktop Dock for quick access. I've tried dragging the tab to the Desktop and then dragging from Desktop to the Dock without success, and searches generally return how-tos for only Chrome or Safari. Help!

I made the mistake I will never make again of signing into a Mozilla account in Firefox. Suddenly everything about the browser was completely different. I realized it had synced to my primary computer without asking me a [expletive] thing about what I wanted to sync or if I wanted to do that now.

How do I unsync the second computer so that Firefox goes back to the way it was before the unexpected forced sync? I had those settings the way I wanted them for a reason.

Firefox 143.0.4 on Ubuntu 24.04

Hello! I saw this question (below) on the forum. I'm having much the same problem. Firefox is crashing nearly all my tabs, even those that had been previously loaded. I cannot use it at all. Clicking "Restore this tab" does nothing. (Firefox has crashed tabs in the past but in those times, "Restore Tab" actually worked.) I actually had to write down on paper the subject and website of each of my tabs (and I had a lot of them, so this took a long time) because when I clicked on each already-loaded tab, Firefox would crash it and I'd lose it--and then it would crash the next one in line before I even got to it.

I have been using Firefox for years and it has never given me this much trouble. I've had tabs stored on it for a long time. "Restore session" always worked if I had to restart my computer for something. It does not work now because every tab crashes with the notice: "GAH! Your tab crashed. Click 'Restore tab' to restore your session." But "restore tab" simply crashes again.

Firefox has allowed a Masterpiece Theater tab and a link to my local newspaper, Pioneer Press (I have a subscription). Others crash. Even some Firefox pages have crashed!

After writing down the info for all my tabs, and then clicking on each one so it would crash and then deleting them so that Firefox had no tabs listed, I tried restarting my computer but this did not help. I also checked Malwarebytes, my anti-virus program, and didn't see a problem there (and I've had it for two years, always using Firefox with not much problem). I think I clicked on "update Firefox" recently and it seemed to work for a while after that, but now this.

I know a little about computers as a user but I'm not very savvy about repair or about all the different commands and controls. Trying to browse through all your articles to find how to fix the problem is exhausting, time consuming and leaves me really confused because I don't really know how to do the things each article suggests. I don't have the time to read article after article and still not be able to fix the problem.

Do I actually need to delete Firefox and then reinstall it? I'd lose all my tabs (website history is still showing under "History), stored passwords and stored credit card information and all other stored information. I'd have to start over completely.

I love Firefox and don't want to switch to Google or some other browser but I might have to if this continues.

According to your instruction to the user below--please be sure to view her note--here are some of my recent crash reports. Thank you for any help you can give me. Please also tell me how to reply to you if what you suggest does not work.

FYI, I have Windows 10.

No matter what I try to read or go to, Firefox crashes repeatedly. I literally cannot use it at all. I keep getting: Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab or Restore All Crashed Tabs to reload the page/pages.

Clicking those options fixes nothing! How do I go back to the previous version, please?"

Hi, I have an account that has all my bookmarks etc... that I do not want to loose. The Firefox account has one email listed and I forgot to add a secondary before my old email was disabled. When I try to add now Firefox send a code to my old email which I have no access to. The extension of the email has been changed to @gmail.com vs the old email was "@shaw.ca" (company got brought out & not exist anymore). thanks for your help Regards, Melinda
