Firefox Community Forum

I like the Firefox browser and Firefox was working fine for months but Firefox did ask me to do another update today. I did the update as requested and after the update Firefox will not connect to any websites on my desktop despite an excellent internet connection. I cannot find anyway to contact Firefox directly. For major problems such as a 100 percent failure rate to connect to any website, Firefox should provide direct help to the user as to the current major problem. I appreciate user ideas but Firefox should offer some help for major problems as the likely solutions can change over time. Hopefully if Firefox oversees user questions, someone at Firefox tech will at least respond to my question on this website or better yet contact me directly.

The problem may well be the update itself. The Firefox browser is working on my smartphone but not the desktop internet browser. I have some browser settings that I do not want to lose which a complete Firefox removal and reinstall would likely cause. Any suggestions from fellow Firefox users are appreciated and I look forward to them. Have other Firefox users experienced this major problem?

Thank you.

I was dismayed to discover that the latest versions of Firefox (e.g. 141 on Linux) unify the search and address bars again. There does not seem to be any easy and obvious way to change this.

On my 128 esr Linux Firefox I have an address bar that does not accept search terms and a separate search bar.

How can I get this behaviour in 141?

Instead of syncing my current settings, sync just overwrote them with an old, outdated copy from another device, completely ruining my addons, bookmarks and various other settings. I managed to restore the bookmarks, but is there really no proper way to undo this or prevent such thing from happening in the first place? Is there no way to control if I want to sync my setting TO the server or FROM the server? How such a vital decision is even made then and why wouldn't there be a way for a user to control that? This is so disappointing :(

There are no OS updates available for my computer hardware (nor have there been for quite a few years), just to quash that right off the bat.

The last release for 10.11 is 78.15.0esr (64-bit).

A number of websites do not load or outright refuse to load (the whole cloudflare hosting system, imgur, daily motion, youtube nags about it, even the login system for mozilla support renders quite oddly).

So I'm requesting an updated release. I realize there may be limitations due to libraries that have similarly abandoned 10.11. Thanks.

I have four rows of "shortcuts" that appear on my Firefox Home Page - 32 individual URLs that I customarily access virtually daily.

Q: Is there some way that I could export/backup my Firefox Home Page and all of these "shortcuts"? I would not want to lose any of the URLs that are represented by the 32 "shortcuts".

Please advise. Thank you! Take care...

There's a feature that pins tabs if they're dragged to the left of the tab bar, shown in the image attached. Is there any way to disable this functionality? I can't seem to find any documentation on it whatsoever.

Specifically Youtube videos, Youtube music songs and nothing else either never load (95% of the time), load only the first 10 seconds and then buffer or load partially after ~20 minutes. No error messages. Only in Firefox.

I tried: Reinstalling Firefox Switching profiles Disabling all extensions Running in safe mode Clearing site's 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 there was a fix.

It's a repost btw, posted 2 weeks ago and got 0 views.

I just installed the browser and enabled Russian localization. Then I opened a page in English. A notification appeared with a suggestion to translate the page into another language. In the translator options, there is an option to select the language from which the translation will be made. There is Russian language there, but I chose English, it’s logical. And then comes the choice of the language into which the translation will be carried out, but there is no Russian language there. Why? How can I translate the page into Russian?

The only two new tab choices in Settings are only "Firefox Home (default)" and "Blank page". Is there a way to change this?

My last laptop let me use www.google.com as the home page in both new windows and new tabs, but on this new thinkpad running Firefox 141 I can only choose that for new windows and not for new tabs.

Thanks!

I am a magazine editor right on deadline and as my Firefox inisted it must be updated I endeavoured to do so and now it will nor allow me to open up and forward any pdfs.Please help.
