Firefox Tekoha Aty

Ok so I usually choose these option to remember history and from time to time delete Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages.

Note: I have "Open previous window and tabs" ticked in general settings which also has a restore previous session option in the history menu. This brings back previous session with tabs etc as is when I close FF. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-51-cf2daf.png

I thought I could automate this on exit but don't think its working right. So I change the option to "use custom settings for history" and tick all three options:

Remember browsing and download history Remember search and form history Clear history when Firefox closes For "Clear history when Firefox closes" I ticked Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-43-b10213.png

The issue is the restore session option is missing and FF opens with all previous tabs gone. I am frankly not even sure what else is missing such as cookies, site data etc. Is this meant to work like so?

From a week ago, for no apparent reason, I get "403 Forbidden" when I try to read articles on seattletimes.com using my prescription to the site. It's a total block of the site.

After rebooting, the site is OK until I log in, as needed to read particular articles. Then nothing is accessible any more.

The trouble is the same on all my laptop/desktop computors, which all have Firefox and are in sync with it, and once I log into the site on one of them it's blocked on all. But this doesn't affect my android phone, on which every article can still be read.

This is clearlly therefore a Firefox problem.  I'm worried that I'll have to switch out of Firefox to some other browser.  This is unreliable behavior.

Previously, recent websites, and pinned websites would show on the Firefox Home / New Tab page. Now, it is completely blank, except for three rows of blank boxes, which are unresponsive, a search entry, which works, and a weather app with menu.

I've searched and searched for a solution, find limited cases previously, but no solutions.

I can't access "settings." When I click "Settings" a faint shadow around the edges of my screen appears, but the actual page does not load. Sometimes, Firefox itself won't open for several days so I've had to start using an alternate browser when this happens. Is this a known issue?

where can I set my default location in Firefox? Windows 10 (desktop) has removed Maps so the computer's default location cannot be determined, and now Google Maps in Firefox has the wrong location for this computer

Hi. I changed my default to Firefox but when I open a tab that darn Yahoo keeps coming up. I restarted my computer and everything. How can I get Firefox to be my search engine?

Since updating Firefox to 140.0 (I am currently on 140.0.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.5), when I launch a Firefox window using the non-default profile, that window is not able to load any pages. When I try to close that window, it either requires me to "force quit" it, or if I wait long enough, the Firefox crash reporter appears.

When I first create a new profile, it works. However, after closing that window, or restarting Firefox, the non-default profile can't load pages and eventually crashes.

Things I have tried:

• Deleting all profiles and re-creating them.
• Using new-style profiles instead of the ones managed by `about:profiles`.
• Visiting a local address using an IP address to rule out DNS issues.
• Starting with the non-default profile (using the new-style profile switcher)
• Starting the non-default profile in troubleshooting mode (the browser crashes when trying to restart)
• Clearing the startup cache in the non-default profile (the browser crashes when trying to restart)

I need to know where to go on Firefox to clear my cookies. I'm having trouble completing purchases using PayPal. When I go from PayPal back to the shop to complete the purchase, it will not pay to complete. PayPal says all is okay on their end. One person suggested clearing my cookies, but I don't know how to do that. Please help if possible. Thank you!

I usually use Nightly as my default browser in a Windows 11 system. Recently I started to get a new error message showing up when I try to select multiple messages in Yahoo e-mail. I select them by clicking on the first message, then holding down Shift and clicking on the last message in the range. That should turn on the selection boxes for all the messages between the two.

Now, when I press the Shift key, I get an error box right on top of where my mouse cursor is, so it interferes with me. The top of the box says "mail.yahoo.com", which is the web-site I'm signed in on. Then it has a link with the text "Login - Sign in to Yahoo". Below that is an ad for all the wonderful things I can get by signing in to Yahoo. At the bottom is an error message, "We can't generate key points for this webpage."

I tried the same action in the current General Release of Firefox, v140, and this does not happen. I suspect that this is an intrusion by some sort of AI software, but I don't know what setting might have been activated to turn this on. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

In FF, in the password utility, the entries are sorted by domain. That establishes that a domain sort is possible.

However, every export utility I have encountered, if it sorts at all, sorts by line.

One use I make of a printed copy is as a maintenance markup document. Some of my accounts - eg mozilla.org - have multiple access addresses in the same domain. A line sort scatters them, and I need to somehow collect them.

Would it be a big effort to output sorted by domain?

Recently I had to rebuild my PC Windows 10 .

However Download speeds in FIREFOX are very slow, 10Mbs BUT Microsoft EDGE browser runs at 50Mbs. What is going on? I have Relinstalled Mozilla several times but no luck THUNDERBIRD works - but I have no way of measuring its speed.

I have followed all the suggestions from COPILOT with no success

Any suggestions would be helpful

Recently the options to customize what I'm seeing on my Firefox Home page are gone, but only on one PC (running Windows 10 pro). On my laptop (Windows 11 home), I can see my settings just fine. I tried resetting, then uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox but that didn't solve the issue. I've also disabled extensions.
