Firefox Community Forum

Please provide the exact requirements for defaults in order to have the settings (occurring on the bookmarks settings) to state that Firefox is your default browser. Having had to attempt this process multiple times causes me to question if it is the user that needs some "tender loving care".

My browser settings screen says my browser is being managed by my orgainzationi, but i do not have an organization. This concerns me as to who is managing the browser.

Sat. 04/19/2025 @9:10 am CDT - Hi. About 2 months ago on any Settings page, FF began to show "your browser is being managed by your organization." The problem is - it's a STANDALONE box, not connected to any network beyond my ISP. I do own websites but I'm not perpetually logged into the host company, so their switch to Microsoft Entra wouldn't have an effect, I would think.

What settings do I change to make FF know that I'm not on a network? Thanks in advance.

KINDLY KEEP BROWSER ACTIVE AFTER SWITHCHING OFF THE PC AND WHENEVER I OPEN THE PC MICROSOFT WINDOWS SHOWING SIGN OUT AND SIGNING AGAIN, BY DOING I DID IT BUT NO SOLUTION. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM FEW DAYS, I DID SYSTEM RESTORE BUT NO SOLUTION WAS FOUND.

I have tried MANY times to make Firefox remain persistent as my browser. It appears I should log into an Administrative account to do so. Microsoft Edge appears to be the problem by remaining the default. I was told by the Tech Sprt for my Asus laptop to "delete" Edge. I entered the Administrative account using DOS. So many changes have taken place since I last used this account that I'm uncomfortable trying to take this approach. I was led to an administrative directory using "search" end while there was able to get a directory listing using DOS. But can't proceed. I really need the Windows pictorial version to proceed or technical support (preferred). Whoever helps must be fully capable.

Asus TS said I must delete MS Edge. The person seemed capable, but if I delete Edge, which I haven't found a way to do so safely, that may create problems but makes sense to do so because of the interference of MS Edge. My memory on how to proceed is that this process was MUCH less complex. I've read a number accounts by others with the same problem. My reasons for using Firefox, as an private engineer are to help prevent the stealing of intellectual property from wherever. Otherwise I'll have to abandon everything.

My settings does not have an option to enable Firefox Labs so I can enable AI support.

• Firefox browser.preferences.experimental.hidden was set to true and I changed it to false with no change in results
• there is no "Firefox Labs" section in my settings anywhere and I've checked "General" and "Privacy and Security"
• toolkit.experiment is set to true
• browser.ui.experimental set to true
• labs set to true

Found redit discussion with the same issue, but no solution

According to this page the option should be in my settings, listed after "sync" and before "more from Mozilla."

I've attached an image of what my settings menu looks like. There is no option for the labs.

What else should I try/do?

Note: using Firefox on Desktop PC. Not a mobile device. My Firefox version is 130.2.2

My settings have this right at the top, but I am the "organizer." I am the one that set things up on my oldest laptop. When I updated the laptop with a new one, I had that message, but it was okay at that point. But now - new laptop, and I want the control back. Please guide me in how to do that.

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble Firefox: mint-001 -. 1.0 / 137.0.2 (64-bit)

When starting Firefox with a completely new generated profile, I still get following errors in the Browser console tool:

For example (see attachment): services.settings: UnknownError: IndexedDB: main/moz-essential-domain-fallbacks getLastModified() IndexedDB: The operation failed for reasons unrelated to the database itself and not covered by any other error code. Module: RemoteSettingsClient.sys.mjs:555

At this time using Firefox, I haven't configured a Firefox sync-account, to sync settings with the central stored profile on Firefox servers.

Solution: May it is helpful, that if a sync-account isn't configured by a user, these function calls should be suppressed by Firefox, in order to avoid these exception/error messages in Browser console. These error message are just irritating messages, as long as a sync-account isn't configured and activly used.

after upgraded to 137.0.2 ... 'settings, general page, applications,ms-settings' calls for 'Use Settings (default). since i keep all app settings at 'always ask' what is this new setting, or why did it change? thankyou

Hello there!

I have an issue that even in settings page, here, in Firefox - i have around 50 fps. I have 240hz monitor and 4070 gpu and 14900hx cpu. In Chrome - i have noticeable 240 fps. What should i do to have same 240 here, in Firefox?

When I open gmail on Firefox it is automatically opening a new email tab. How do I disable this?

I also cannot select gmail in my "mail to" applications.

I've been using Firefox in Windows for years as my default browser. Suddenly tonight, Microsoft Edge became my default. When I go into Windows Settings and try to change back to Firefox, Windows offers me only Microsoft browsers as alternatives (or offers to let me into the Microsoft Store): Windows Edge or Internet Explorer.

The Control Panel / Settings page "Set Default Apps" is the only way that I know that Windows lets users set default browsers, but it suddenly seems to be restricting me to only MS browsers.

Firefox works normally in every other way, but warns me now every time I launch it that I have a different default browser. When I click the button in the warning (or in Firefox's Tools / Settings) I just get put back to the Windows "Set Default Apps" page, which, again, only lets me choose Microsoft browsers.

What could have happened? I haven't altered my Firefox configuration or installed extensions or plug-ins in a long time. If I uninstall & reinnstall Firefox, will I lose my many configuration & interface settings and will I have to reinstall all my extensions -- or will the reinstalled Firefox remember its existing configuration? Or would that probably not help at all.

I'm very computer-savvy, but have run out of ideas. Can you help??

My issue is that if I access the upper right corner of the screen, titled "Open Application Menu" and go to Settings I'm told my Browser is not the default AFTER THE PROCESS OF JUST MAKING IT THE DEFAULT.

It seems there is an effort to try and drive all of us nuts. This never happened before, and if it continues it will be the end of electronic communications (which it is suspected is the plan by those who engage in violence to achieve their objectives).

What I came here for was to have my settings, after the process (done many times previously) show a response in Settings that, "Yes" my browser (Firefox) is the default, which it did for a time today. Obviously there is no persistence.

When I got help on this issue previously, my response was I already tried that, and it didn't work. There used to be a lot of different browsers. Now I haven't come across any of them currently. Some are having great success in seeing to it that only their browser will survive. That seems like a "gangland" type of mentality to me.link text I believe I spent enough of my time on this issue and explained it in detail. There's really nothing else I can "contribute".

I, by the way, went to my Internet provider today who found an email under Preferences that she said had the capability to steel my emails. It had an extension in Australia (*.AU). If that has anything to do with this problem I'd like to buy a pair of handcuffs to see if that individual(s) being constrained from using a PC keyboard is a cure for this problem.
