Firefox Community Forum

Good morning,

I just made your suggested "reorganisation" of the Firefox Browser with the result that all my hard collation of all my bookmarks, website and passwords are presently gone!!! I can only hope that you have a possibility to recover my datas.

Please advise your instruction to recover my websites, bookmarks etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Using version 152.0.1 on windows 11. Have added an extra 'search' box as described in 'Add the Search bar to your Firefox toolbar ". Is it possible to have a default search engine i.e. Google (and the option to choose other engines) on the big search / address bar, but have a DIFFERENT and ONLY option to search with one i.e Wikipedia engine on the smaller search box? i.e. one general search/ address box, and one if you know you want to search with a different default search engine. Tried everything google AI suggested and nothing worked; it said both boxes are 'linked'. Thanks.

For years using firefox, I have had all of the bookmarks and login information retained by Firefox on my old HP laptop, but after buying a new Windows 11 Laptop and performing the Firefox syncing, none of the bookmarks/favorites and none of the password (and other items that used to self-populate) are there on my now machine. This has caused an emergency situation since my old laptop is now fatally broken. I'm wondering how to start diagnosing what the problem is, whether the "syncing" actually occurred within my account, while the syncing process indicated no problem. The new machine has it's own Bookmarks toolbar showing, but only contains a few new bookmarks that I have manually added.

While playing Free Games.org and Free Mahjong also on AOL Mail Firefox crashes after a few moments. I performed security scans and restarted, still crashing.

YouTube videos have been lagging on Firefox lately on my PC (Windows 11 Home, Firefox 152). I have tried some fixes with no success (clearing the cache, deleting YouTube cookies, using the User-Agent Switcher, etc.) Other browsers appear to be unaffected.

Every time I open a new webpage, I get a screen from Firefox asking me if I want to make a translation from English to Spanish or otherwise. It is very frustrating closing these boxes frequently..

I have been using a new windows 11 laptop, but which hasn't been able to import my favorites/bookmarks as well as password data from my previous (also running firefox) Windows 10 laptop. I performed syncing, but which didn't seem to help.

I removed the solid-state SSD drive from my physically-broken Windows 10 HP laptop and connected it to my new Windows 11 HP laptop using an external adapter, wanting to move the contents to my new machine. But already I find that only about 3/4 of my bookmarked browsing favorite sites and document files are among the items that I can find on the old, externally-connected "D" drive (D:>USER>OWNER>FAVORITES). I tried visiting some of the bookmarked sites and hitting "bookmark this page" for each, but then none showed up on my new Windows 11 machine's firefox browser bookmarks sidebar. Perhaps they are being put elsewhere because I am opening these sites from my old drive??

I probably need to first understand if and how much that the two drives are still operating separately, so not cooperating with each other in the way I had hoped. I know next to nothing about any of these things but have used the Firefox browser and documents files for many years without too many issues.

After updating to Firefox 152.0.1 this morning I keep getting Error 7023 Service Control Manager each time I start Firefox. The error description states "The MozillaMaintenance service terminated with the following error: Incorrect function." The Mozilla Maintenance Service was set to Manual and I set it to Automatic but still getting error each time I start Firefox. I have read that the service can be disabled so what do you suggest I do to stop the 7023 error. Thank you.

I can not get my bookmarks to sort. If I select the hamburger menu, select manage bookmarks a new widow open where the folder containing my bookmarks are located. If I then select that folder and select sort by name it does in fact sort them. However when I go back to the hamburger menu and select bookmark they continue to display in a random order. What do I need to do to get these sorted? I have attached jpeg screen shots.

Thanks

Hi,

The Firefox browser came through with an update and I found that on Bluesky it is hard to load or see video's, which makes it a slightly pointless exercise.

Previously I have found that after an update (can't recall if it was Chrome, but think it was Firefox) the problems cleared up after a couple of days.

However, that doesn't seem to be happening right now.

Can't think what I should be tweaking at my end.

Hello Is it possible to configure firefox in such a way that it remembers forms history on pages, but does not remember search history in firefox? I have classic search bar enabled and all things that I enter in address bar or search bar are remembered and suggested to me. I can disable saving forms history but it limits usability for webpages for me. Is it possible to change something in about:config that would enable me to remember forms on pages but forget forms built into firefox? Another annoying thing is fact that I have to clear both forms history and search history, I cannot separate it.
