Firefox Community Forum

Hello! I am running firefox and had an issue with the URL bar. Before, the URL bar was at the top and right underneath it would appear the open tabs; underneath that were my bookmarks. I don't know what I pressed, but now, the tabs and bookmarks are on top (on the same line), and the URL bar is underneath that -- see screenshot for details. It is a small issue, but it is driving me crazy, since all my mucle memory on where to click etc. is gone. Furthermore, the bookmarks now crowd the open tabs, so if I have a lot of open tabs, I cannot see them all at a glance.

I tried looking for settings, but all settings for customizing the toolbar are about adding items to the URL bar, not switching the position of URL bar and the open tabs. How do I fix this?

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

I hate the new Firefox!!!! It lost all my data from the old one, bookmarks, passwords and everything. I want to be able to revert to the previously installed version but I can't find the data. The old one was so familiar.

I'm 83 years old and have trouble remembering a lot of things but I was very happy with the earlier version!

Insbesondere bei dem Aufruf meiner Überwachungskamera sowie der Wallbox innerhalb meines Heimnetzwerkes hat Firefox Probleme mit der Darstellung. Bei der Instar Kamera zeigt Firefox das Bild, aber anfangs nur extrem abgehackt, nach einigen Sekunden nur noch als Standbild mit einem sich drehenden Kreis in dem "Video läuft" steht (Anhang). Mit Edge funktioniert das Live Videobild einwandfrei. Ich möchte aber ungerne auf Edge umsteigen. An welchen Einstellungen kann das liegen? Ich habe die Adresse der Kamera schon in allen Bereichen als Ausnahme eingestellt. daran liegt es nicht.

When a PDF has been edited and needs to be saved again, the save dialog does not show the location of the current PDF, but rather the location where the last PDF was saved. I couldn't find a way to change this!

I just tried to sync to my Firefox on my phone, but when it opened, an ANCIENT EMAIL ADDRESS WAS THERE, and it is not connected to the generated password I selected tonight. Can I get guidance on how to fix this dilemma? I'm also very old, so this stuff comes less quickly than to some of my friends or co-workers.

The problem seems to have started after a browser update. Running up-to-date Windows 10. This issue does not occur when using Edge. Youtube videos are blank (spinning). Sometimes it results is a still frame, other times it spins forever. Many times, you can see a series of stills in the video as the time line is dragged from the beginning to the end of the video. A small number of videos will work, but I have not been able to predict which will work or why. A different Win 10 machine on the same network is fine. I have tried all of the solutions I could find searching on-line (clearing cache, cookies, reboot, restart, update browser software, etc, multiple times). Checked settings in windows, firefox and youtube looking for something. Any help would be appreciated. Have used Firefox for decades and I don't want to be forced to change browsers.

При заходе на сайте ya.ru и если на нём имеется строка с видео или поиск с алисой, то начинаются сильные фризы. Это ошибка именно в firefox 142, проверенно.

I just got the profiles update and I'm having a lot of issues with firefox, but I'm not sure what I did wrong. When I change windows both too and from firefox, the menu pops up. As I continue to use it, my controls slowly begin to change. My scroll wheel changed from moving up and down the page to the same command that happens when you go backwards or forwards using the buttons in the top left. I lose the ability to use the windows key on my keyboard. Eventually, I lose the ability to type entirely sometimes, so all the keys from the keyboard just stop working, even though it's plugged in and recognized. Also, if I have firefox open for too long in the background, I'm unable to tab out of whatever window I'm presently in, even if firefox is just running in the background.

I've isolated the problem to just firefox by using other browsers like edge and chrome. While having both of these programs on in the background or during regular use I saw no issues with my pc.

I've tried the main trouble shooting steps provided by firefox, but none have helped. I also thought maybe some of the extensions were causing problems so I stopped using all the ones not from firefox directly, but this also didn't help. I still have the container extensions on.

I think I'm on the latest necessary windows 11 update, but maybe need to go to 25h2? I'm just guessing at this point.

What am I doing wrong with the new update and how do I use the profiles properly so I don't have these issues?

Hi, I am using Firefox Developer Edition though I have had this problem with Firefox in the past. The problem is that sometimes the audio from Firefox just stops working, everything else in Windows works but not firefox, I tried having the same youtube video on Firefox and Chrome annd it worked on Chrome. There are times that a Windows restart fixes it and there are times that I just have to wait a couple of days till it fixes itself. The only thing I could find to trigger this behavior is to have mi Bluetooth earphones connected, then disconnect them and sometimes when reconnecting them the audio is just gone. This usually happens when I am working, when I start the day I put them on and start some music on Youtube, after 3-4 hours I do a 15 minutes break and during that time I charge the earphones, when I come back and turn them on again, most of the times the audio is gone. Is this a known issue or something? I can send anything if you want. Thank you

tried few below steps Remove all Extensions, Reset Browser again if same issue remove the user profile and login with the new profile if same issue try un-installing and re-installing browser with the different account did a clean re installation by removing local files from the help of forced uninstaller reinstalled it but the issue still persist also tested by disabling antivirus although the computer worked with mcafee earlier please provide a solution to this computer is running on win 11 with the latest 25H2 update

The PW I am using to attempt to sync firefox to my new windows computer is in the active firefox that I currently use. I have checked it in my desktop version and also on my ipad and the PW in both are the same yet when i try to sync the new computer and put the PW in that is in both my desktop and iPad; I get msg it is wrong PW. So then I tried to get a new recovery code (can't find old one) it asks me for the PW and again; get msg it's wrong. How can it be wrong if it's the one in my current firefox that I am typing this on right now? Doesn't make any sense to me! How can the current PW in the active firefox account be incorrect when I try to sync my new computer? (I have double/tripled/quadrupled and even copied the current PW from the PW list in firefox!)

thx

I am running Firefox 145.0 on a Windows 10 desktop PC. Even though I am using an external Password Manager (DualSafe Password Manager), Firefox keeps asking to save passwords. When I look at the privacy & Security section in Settings, Ask to save passowrds is ticked and also greyed out. To access the setting, I have to disable DualSafe. The setting becomes accessible and unticked. I then re-enable DualSafe. If I then close Firefox, the setting is re-ticked and greyed out when I start Firefox again. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

on clicking the firefox icon on my screen, it flagged this message: Firefox.exe – entry point not found The procedure entry point GetTempPath2W could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Users\computer_name\OneDrive\.javaws\Desktop\Firefox.exe.

however, i am submitting this only with a view to better understand the usage on the end-user's side. thakns, regards, jason brown.

Hi, I hope your doing well.

I've always had this same problem for years across multiple machines. My problem is whenever I seem to close Firefox down without using Task Manager to do so I will lose all of my tabs from the previous section. I know what you're thinking. There's a checkbox in the general settings right at the top to opt in to keeping tabs open. It's ticked! and has been since forever, and yet I still lose my tabs. So my question is, why might this happen? and how to prevent it?

Additionally, the 'restore last session' keyboard shortcut doesn't work for me either.

I'm really enjoying the new profile switching update; however, my other question is, how do I close a profile session down while I have another open? Yes, I'm aware you can open them side by side and close the window of choosing. A bit counterintuitive if you are trying to separate work from play. Still, I would like to not lose my tabs when I do choose to close one and not have multiple windows running in the background. Also yes, I did remember to check the box in the settings on each profile. Ticking the box does nothing for me.
