When I do "save as " action for an image in the browser it opens dialogue window to save selected image. Unfortunately it displays files and folders in some random order, rather than my preferred order (sorted alphabetically by name, followed by sorting by type).

I can see no rhyme or reason to the way Firefox lists files and folders in the dialogue window, so every time I am saving an image I have to sort things by name and type before I can find what I want.

This is not permanent so I have to repeat this action every time I save an image.

How do I, please set application preferences? to make this setting permanent?

I can't re-open a saved tab group. I saved it and closed firefox but when I returned I couldn't find where to access it. I see all of my saved tabs when I right-click on a tab and choose "Add Tab to Group", but when I move the tab to that group it just disappears rather than open the group. Any help would be appreciated! :)

The tabs don't regularly sync between the desktop and Android browsers. I can manually hit the "Sync now" button on either end, and the latest tabs open don't change. Specifically I can't sync tabs opened on the Android browser to the Windows desktop browser. Clicking the button on the desktop browser does something, it switches to "Synching" with a loading throbber, but the tabs don't appear below in the list. Doing it on the android browser does nothing, it still reads "Last Synced 12 Hours Ago" on my android browser, and this is generally the number it says, more or less, whenever I attempt this.

I've tried updating the browser on both devices, and force stopping it on the android device and restarting it based on community recommendations, then reattempting to sync, and neither helped.

Other options suggested copying sessionstore.jsonlz4 from the profile folder on one device to the profile folder on the other device to transfer the open tabs (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1404630), but the guidance to do that doesn't work on Android, as it lacks the menus referred to in those guides. I don't know how to access the session data on Android, nor could I find a guide for it.

On Sunday October 5, 2025 I began experiencing an issue with gocomics.com. I thought it was a temporary one that would resolve itself. Monday morning it was still happening. I contacted GC thinking the issue was on their end. They were unable to replicate it. They asked me to try to go to the site using the private window on FF. I was able to access it just fine. Therefore, we know it is not GC. I was also able to get to their page on Chrome.

I tried again on Tuesday. Same issues. I had already read on some forums where others were getting the same loop that I am: https://amub2c.b2clogin.com/amub2c.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1A_GC_SIGNINSIGNOUT_POLICIES/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri=https://www.gocomics.com

It was suggested to try refreshing FF. I did that. Didn’t work. Gave up again for the day.

This morning, I tried uninstalling FF. Didn’t work. What else is there left for me to try?

I was, admittedly, perhaps doing a bit much on my ram at the time. but i didn't expect this. i didn't expect it at all.

screen went black a moment, firefox crashed. I figured it was fine! it crashes sometimes. it always restores my tab. the little bug report was there! willing and ready to restore my session for me. i let it restart fox.

i get the firefox sesion restore tab. but i already am filled with dread and upset. because i can see, in my peripherals, the blue button to restore session, is already greyed out. checking the little drop-down that shows you your session- [expletive]. empty.

God. what the [expletive]. I- what the [expletive]. it's a stupid thing to cry over, im sure. But some, most, of those tabs were YEARS old, from when i moved. and i've been having a hard time thinking about my old home lately. and now i've lost another bit of home. Some of those tabs may not even be in my [expletive] history anymore; i have a weird cut off of my oldest history in the history window, library window, thingy, where i can tell history was wiped, but i never wipe my history. i have no clue why this wipe even happened! Other then pushing it on my pc a bit much, but it's not been the first time i haven't paid attention; and it's restored before! what the [expletive]. Deeply upsetting. i've tried, even, to restore things myself; i have a 'upgrade.jsonlz4' file, few months old, but enough to have most of my tabs if it were stored inside; tried to rename it one of the recovery files, 'recovery.jsonlz4' and 'recovery.baklz4', then both, but doesn't work to get my windows back. This is awful.

I've previously asked this question but it has been archived without any action.

I have the current Android Firefox installed, my homepage setting has 'recently visited' UNCHECKED, but the homepage is adding all my recently, or possibly 'frequently visited' visited, pages! Swipe sideways to show even more of them. The only thing that should be on my homepage are shortcuts - things that I wanted to pin - since the specifically unticked 'recently visited'.

This is a privacy issue as well as just a bug. Please fix this urgently.

I've also put this on my review on Play store as I consider it something that needs attention...

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

In the past I've been able to print pages generated from websites, such as ... https://www.bridgebum.com/short_suit_game_try.php

I recently used a well know "cleaner" to remove broken links etc ... Since then I've been unable to print these generated pages. I can still print documents that I've created. mail etc so it's not the connection between my PC (Windows 10) and the printer (canon TR7560)

I've tried the troubleshooting ideas in FAQ. I've reinstalled (without uninstalling) Firefox but neither helped.

Your browser dead ass just doesn't respond when I click on it. I have a new mac mini 4 and have the latest update for firefox. it's absolute dogshit to be honest. I'm lucky if the browser lets me click on anything, eg., bookmarks, add-ons, history are nonfunctional. Also my tabs on the browser get squished together and superimposed such that 2-3 separate tabs appear as though they are one tab. I have never had an issue like this before when using firefox. I don't encounter the issue with safari or chrome, but I don't like those browsers. Do you have insight as to why firefox mozilla is suddently ass?

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

I am really really distraught right now. It took me two weeks to get the time and focus to write a long reply to a company's nice email to me. Stayed up till 2am to write it. Deliberately wanted to re-read it in the morning before sending. Gone. Nowhere to be found. I pressed "Save to draft" before closing my laptop. But not saved. This account actually has a "draft" folder, unlike most of my other accounts in Thunderbird, which I also cannot figure out and no one has helped me with.

In the first loading the share menu would only show other firefox devices until a few seconds later other options appear. Closing the menu and reopening would not have this problem so I am unable to check if it's an Android problem

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue after migrating my domain and professional email service.

My address was originally hosted by Cabanova and configured in Thunderbird. I recently transferred the domain and email hosting to OVH, which caused the old mail server configuration to stop working.

Here’s the current situation:

The account in Thunderbird is still using a POP server (ssl0.ovh.net – port 995), while OVH uses IMAP (port 993).

I cannot change the server type from POP to IMAP within the existing account settings.

When I try to add a new account, Thunderbird completely freezes after I click “Continue” and never gives me access to “Manual Configuration.”

I also cannot delete the existing account because it contains all my previous local emails that I need to keep.

At the moment, I’m able to send emails from this account via OVH, but I don’t receive any incoming messages.

What I’d like to do is simply update the server configuration to OVH’s IMAP settings, without losing my existing local messages or recreating the entire profile.

Could you please let me know if there’s a way to:

Force an existing POP account to switch to IMAP,

Or safely recreate the account as IMAP without losing local data and without Thunderbird freezing during setup?

Thank you in advance for your assistance,

Hey folks, I recently installed a new NVME, clean Windows install, clean Firefox install. Recently I've had seemingly random crashes on tabs, happened a lot with YouTube and seems to happen fairly consistently if I go to my watch history. Other sites seem okay, everything else seems to be working fine, checked my drive, my RAM. This Firefox install is using my Mozilla account for passwords and themes. Included a recent crash report if that helps. Thanks if any of y'all can help
