Firefox Community Forum

I used Chrome until two days ago. I just got tired with how shitty the browser was, how bloated it made my computer, and how much Google treats everyone like a data product. However, I use hella google systems from Voice to Chrome to Drive to more and it all worked great together. Choosing to change to Firefox wasn't an easy decision but I knew it was a good one

Which makes it super irritating that some of the functionality is already facing problems. I have shortcuts I built to make it easier to study or do random things so I don't get distracted or tired. One shortcut is clicking a key that should launch UWorld in my default browser & use Lastpass to autologin (I couldn't get it to launch the service but that was a separate issue).

I check if autologin was on for the password on LastPass I've allowed all permissions to the LastPass extension I clear my cookies on UWorld & turned off enhanced tracking protection for the UWorld login portal site

What should I do to fix my one button shortcut again?

I really don't want to go randomly turning off every protection that Firefox gives me to figure it out so I'd appreciate someone who understands the browser better helping me out. Also, bonus points if you can help me build a single shortcut button on my Mac that can launch UWorld & navigate me straight to the question bank. (I do think the issue with autologin on LastPass is going to become more of an issue as I start opening up more websites I used to use on Chrome so I'd rather nip it in the bud before I see the problem occur more often)

Good day,my firefox has been acting weird for the last weeks.Everyday I have to re-login to all the sites I have been to,as if it doesn't save.E.g my email,I might login today,but tomorrow i have to re-login.Or youtube,today i login,tomorrow i have to re-login,confirming that I'm the one by going on the phone and pressing the correct verification number.Please,would you like to help me with this,so that i no longer need a phone and so that i no longer have to re-login the whole time.Some sites i had yesterday aren't even here now.

Kind regards.

If you have a legitimate Mozilla question, please submit a question at /questions/new. Thank you.

I don't what or how it happened.

But one night all I can remember was I updated my Firefox in Windows and my account was synced. I use to have all my browser history on my Macbook air. But suddenly the next day I discover that all of my history is gone. I have no idea what caused or how I can recover it again. I tried the internet and nothing helped me with my problem. So now I'm resorting to this and hopefully someone can tell me what to do.

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?

Hello! Yesterday (03/16/2025) I received a message that the ChatZilla add-on to Firefox will be disabled on the next restart of FireFox. The message indicates that the extension could not be "verified".

I am using a VERY old computer for ChatZilla only: Windows XP Firefox 48.0.2 ChatZilla 0.9.92

I don't care about the age and inability to update any of the software, but I need to continue to use ChatZilla on this platform.

I have used ChatZilla on this machine for a very long time and do need to continue. Is there any way that I can make this work without having ChatZilla automatically disabled at the next restart of Firefox?

What a dirty trick! I updated Firefox to version 136.0.1 to stop all the nagging, and my tabs disappeared! Nothing I could do brought them back. I asked the internet and finally learned about the sidebar, where tiny icons are shown (which I hadn't noticed). Nothing I could do with the sidebar brought the tabs back. Asked the internet again, and finally I found that buried in the Preferences is Browser Layout. When I deselected "Show sidebar," the tabs came back. What a dirty trick to make that the default, with no clue how to undo it! Nothing in the menus or the Help was any help. P.S., I am not a computer novice; I was a systems programmer in my professional life and have been using Firefox for many years.

I am running Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11. I am using Rogers Yahoo Mail. Unfortunately the mail program has "Spell Check". It can best be described as intrusive. Every letter I type in my mail the spell check keeps popping up and bothering/interfering me to the point where it is very annoying and frustrating. I need to get rid of it permanently. I saw some suggestions where I could go to 'settings' and uncheck the box that says 'check your spelling as you type', it was unchecked and the spell check keeps popping up non stop! PLEASE show me how I can stop this aggravating feature. Thanks, Larry

Due to the current transition from Skype to Teams Free, I was wondering about what reported here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-system-requirements In the "New Teams for web" section I can read that the latest three versions of Firefox will be supported for Windows, macOS and Linux. In the "New Teams on Linux" section I can read that "Linux users have access to New Teams for Web and new Teams as a progressive web app (PWA)"

So my question: Will I be able to use the new Microsoft Teams for Web Free from the latest Firefox on Linux Mint 21.1?

Thank you

Best Regards

I always shut down my PC (Windows 11) while Firefox is open, and it reopens automatically when I turn it back on. However, the settings and the layout are reset.

I tried closing the browser normally via the Close button, but the issue persists.

I tried killing the process via Task Manager, but the issue persists.

I'm not opted into Firefox Studies.

I use quite a few extensions and also Container Tabs. I tried disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.

I just can't disable Container Tabs to test because I would lose too many tabs. Could Container Tabs be the issue?

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

Firefox says versions earlier than 115.13 will be impacted by the certificate expiration. I've updated to 115.21 My add-ons are still disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

It seems many don't know or haven't noticed but merely running an esr branch (rather than a developer edition) will also give you the option to enable add-ons with expired certifications via about:config.

Anyway, the "legit" way isn't working.
