Good afternoon. How do I prevent Firefox from automatically adding/pinning shortcuts to my home page. I only want the ones I already added manually. Thank you

In Gmail, I repeatedly get "oops the system encountered a problem (#001)." Every other site works and Gmail works in other browsers. I haven't had any new add-ons or made any changes to Firefox (other than Firefox updates) in years. Does anyone know the fix?

For a few days now whenever a new tab opens, either by clicking a link in search results or by clicking a link in an email, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the page and I have to scroll to the top of the page. I'm just getting started with Windows 11 on a new computer. What happened to cause this?

Hey,
I have noticed recently that Discord crashes its tab as soon as someone else joins a voice call and microphone access is given.
I am on Linux/NixOS/Hyprland and am not experiencing this issue on Linux/Endeavour/Gnome.
The crash report mainly complains about libxul.
Any ideas or directions are greatly appreciated.
Best

I am getting emails from Microsoft saying: 'The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th. '
I have tried installing free Outlook but it does not allow me transfer all my local folders (I have many) with all my history and information.
Is an update to Firefox due that will support this new modern authentication process or do I loose all my local folders?

PRIORITY:HIGH for those that are concerned! I created a specific Yahoo account so I could make comments on various News issues. I'm signed into that account and try to make a comment and it says something like or offers to sign in again where the comment is located. when i tick the sign in tab it goes back to the article as if I never signed in to post a comment. When I am actually signed into the Yahoo account where the article is located. Could be politics, music, etc. I cleared the cache, etc...still stuck in the mud. please help. Thank you. raphael

Today I realized that I have installed two (2) versions of Mozilla Firefox on my Laptop PC which I rarely use.
Both editions are 64-bit type but one is version 109.0.1 (11/04/2023) in
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and the other is version 128.0.3 (28/07/2024) in C:\Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox.
I suppose it is illegal to have two versions of the same App., so the question is how can I delete the old version (109.0.1) without affecting or damaging the new version (128.0.3)?
Thank you, JOHN HATZITOLIOS

I have used Firefox before, and I want to confirm that what i could do in the past is now no longer possible. In the screenshot, you see in the "Home" section, you are able to pick what shows for your home page and new windows. Then you see What you can choose to happen on new tabs. I have set it to pull Google's home page. You used to be able to set the new tabs to whatever you wanted as well. However, you no longer can. Is this the way it is intended to work? If so, this should be rethought. No one wants to set their browser to open a new web page whenever they want to look something up, much less just in general to get to their home page. I understand and know that you can add the home button to the toolbar, but that creates an extra step.
Now if this was intended to be this way, where may I express my dissatisfaction with this option?

An unwanted bookmarks toolbar appears above the URL field, as shown in the image.
After all the bookmark shortcuts it contains are closed, and FF is restarted, the marks reappear.
How can they be purged permanently?

Since the auto-update to version 128.0.3 (64-bit) two weeks ago, my Firefox crashes as soon as I switch over to a different programme. I am on Windows 10. Whenever I try to re-open the programme, I get the error message that Firefox is already running and if I want to restart or quit. Can you please deploy a fix for this? Thank you.

Westpac keep telling me it is the fault of my browser. While I was trying safe mode, deleting the cookies and cache etc. I came across this bit of odd information -
Westpac have been telling me for two months that it is Firefox's fault, but I don't see how, given that it has always worked before. Finding this data makes me think the problem is Westpac's fault but they just keep saying the same old thing - use another browser. Well I don't want to! I have visual difficulties and my Firefox is heavily customised to account for that.
What is actually happening is that when I enter my information on the log In Page: https://banking.westpac.com.au/wbc/banking/handler?TAM_OP=login&logout=false then click on the sign in button the screne goes white like it is going to log in and then the sign in page comes back up without the information I had entered.
Is there any thing you can do to help me?

It's hard to describe what I mean without an example. I type "tart" into the search bar, and instead of the recently visited Wikipedia page on tarts, the autofill suggestions are full of pages in my history with "start" or "starter" in the title, or even in the URL but not the title. Is there any way to change it so the suggestions only contain the exact words I've typed?
