Firefox Community Forum

Specifically Youtube videos and nothing else either don't load at all, load only the first 10 seconds and then buffer, or load partially after ~20 minutes. No error message. Only in Firefox.

I tried: Reinstalling Firefox Switching profiles Disabling all extensions Running in safe mode Clearing cache and cookies

It's been like this for a couple of months. Been circumventing it by playing videos in a different browser, but would be nice if I could fix it.

Per title. If I go to bookmarks->bookmark this tab OR clicking the star icon in the address field I always want it to pop up and ask me where to save it, without having to remember to double click the star icon, or go edit bookmarks menu to move it.

This seems like a poor design, at least for me when more than 90% of the time I don't want it to be in the last used folder. I have been adding bookmarks for decades and it has always asked me where to save them, so muscle memory forgets to go back and edit the bookmark I just saved, and then later on I have to go back and change them all because they are never in the right folder.

I understand if I double click the star in the url it will allow me to change it, but when I'm busy I don't remember to click it again, or double click it, then my bookmark is lost and I have to go searching for it and edit it and it's a hassle.

Is there an about:config setting I've missed to re-enable this basic feature to reduce all the clicking?

I've tried browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks both false and true without any change to the behavior.

I am using the latest Fiefox and i have disabled all adons i have tried everything I have changed my Facebook password every time i g try to share something on Firefox get a black box on the bottom right that says something wrong . I have tried to copy the entire hing but can not i got some of it I have even reinstalled firebox ans still can not share anything I have tried contacting Facebook but that does not happen no response i appears to work in Chrome on a noter Facebook account so it is Firefox. i will send you what i could get on the screen shot the part that is missing s the part that says something s wrong

I have a profile that causes odd behavior, within the profile, and to the OS.

Regarding the profile itself:

1. I use Multiple Tab Handler, which should allow me to move tabs on the tab bar with the mouse, but it does not (see image of proper behavior)

2. Normally, i can drag this padlock button to the desktop to create a shortcut. but now, it will not move/drag (see image 2)

3. I also have a backup profile from several months ago that has none of the above symptoms. However, If I substitute it's sessionstore.jsonlz4 file with the the one from the problematic profile, all the bad behavior mentioned above re-emerges.

I know this sounds strange, but, I also get external display issues when using the broken profile. These events are random, and manifest themselves differently, so I can't duplicate them. Essentially, these snips are examples of images from the taskbar tabs, or the clock area, suddenly superimposing themselves on the top portions of the taskbar toolbar area.

This is the view of my clock area (see next image 3)

In the following image, imagine that the portion on the left, that opens the start menu, is now hidden under what looks exactly like the clock area on the right, superimposed over it (see next image 4)

Those aberrations are removed by simply moving the mouse cursor over them, but they will continue to occur in any number of variations over any area of that top toolbar.

Is there a Session Manager that will save the session, to be later restored into that previous profile, but not also pass along the corruption?

Hey,

Since two or three weeks, Mozilla Firefox often crashes on my computer. I have a pretty decent et recent setup, except for my old Nvidia 2070SUPER. It has never happened for years so I'm worried about it.

Here are my most recent crashes :

- bp-143dbb7e-445e-4d49-869b-cf37b0250718 - bp-89dda5c4-231b-451f-9d7b-d4e150250718 - bp-6269dc7c-ed7c-4d04-8a47-37ee90250718 - bp-cf8d230b-f493-4feb-bf04-4d7ef0250718 - bp-a30fa4d5-c051-4203-ba9a-b596d0250718

Could you help me ?

Thank you,

Guillaume

Why is everything broken after an update? So annoying and prevent me from making a donation.

There are 3 buttons, none of which are useful.

Can anyone free me of this Welcome to Freedom?

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Hello, I have added quite a number of bookmarks to my Firefox app on my iPad. I’m set up for syncing to my iPhone. I’ve tapped sync now on my iPhone and on the iPad, but only a few of the bookmarks have synced to the iPhone. I’ve also shut down and rebooted both devices. Both are signed in via email and set up for syncing, so I’m at a loss as to what to do next. Does it just take time? Any advice? Thank you.

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

Is there away i can get my browser history and data back ,i logged out of windows couldnt remember my password ,logged in with a new password and all my data is gone .....

Hello, FF support forum,

I think I have seen a Container retain my login to a site when I open it again after closing it. Is there a way to configure Containers so that they are mini versions of the dump-cookies-temp-data when I close Firefox entirely? I would so love that functionality.

Connectivity to www.xfinity.com disappeared...with latest firefox 140.0.4 as near as I can tell. xfinity still works on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Please fix firefox browser so I don't have to go to chrome or edge. thanks!

In Windows 11 settings > personalization > composition, is a way to change sounds like: error sound, connect device etc.. Before Firefox I used chrome and I set a sound for minimizing/maximizing and it worked. Whenever I minimized the browser it would play a custom sound. Since I started using Firefox the sounds don't seem to work anymore. Now I know the sound still works because when I minimize/maximize the file explorer it plays the custom sound. Is it not supposed to work or is it a bug? How can I make it play the custom sound? Thanks in advance :) (In Windows 10 it didn't work aswell)

The problem (Firefox being slow) happens within the confines of Troubleshoot Mode, I have already attempted a restart as well as clearing all temporary cached files and pages to no avail. While I did manage to make it better through setting my proxy settings to 'No Proxy', Firefox still seems to be running at a slower pace than even the dreaded Chrome. Youtube is the worst offender, with videos that used to run smoothly in Chrome now lagging, buffering, and moving so slow that Youtube is forced to automatically reduce the video quality (however, I should note that even on 360p do I encounter a large amount of slowness). Please note that I am a total dummy when it comes to technical stuff, so I will most likely need extensive and comprehensive instructions on ways to solve/diagnose this issue. I thank anyone who's willing to help me with this, it's the only thing that Firefox is worse at in comparison with Chrome.

When I search for something in the address bar using Firefox, I don't receive Google suggestions. The second photo is from another browser and shows exactly what I want.

What settings might I have changed?

Firefox currently: https://prnt.sc/11K105eLPdle

I want: https://prnt.sc/ToJ_b2PQ14k9

Note:

   browser.search.suggest.enabled => true

   browser.urlbar.suggest.searches => true

I've looked at the details in the config. As above. I've also used the Firefox Reset feature, but the problem still persists.
