Firefox Community Forum

when i click the VPN icon it shows the get started page and when i click on it and log in it doesn't give me the option to turn it on, its the same get started page. it does that every time i press get started.

I believe that Firefox had a recent update which was auto implemented after-which my entire collection of saved passwords disappeared off of my Desktop computer. Over the next couple or more weeks I reconstructed many of the passwords and was heading back to normal. Today, for unknown reason my entire collection of saved passwords have again been erased and I do not know how and assume they are not recoverable so am back to square one. On my home computer I have it set to not allow auto updates and have a Firefox update waiting and hesitate to allow it, expecting the same result there to my saved passwords. Nothing significant has been done to or with my computer in this same time period so am at a loss as to why this happened not just once but now twice with cause unknown (I am unaware of any second Firefox update in the interim which could have caused this but cannot rule this out).

I've been using the built-in firefox vpn and it has worked just fine, amazing actually, the best free vpn i've ever used. I've used it mostly to access Japanese contect, so Japan server, and now it's not working. it still show my ip, but if I change location to any other country it shows that country, so the issue is with the Japanese server.

Where is a link, icon, or ANY WAY to add a shortcut site to my Ubuntu FF **DESKTOP** homescreen?

I already have 4 rows (since 2013 over many Linux laptops. Ubuntu, Mint, popOS, and now Ubuntu 26.04 LTS).

There is room in the fourth row for a few more. BUT I don't see any icon or link or right-click option to add another!

Phrasing the article search various ways gets me a lot of unrelated stuff.

EVERY help article, of which there are few, seems to have a BIG-ASSumption that everyone is using mobile Firefox.

NO! NO three dots. No right click brings up anything. NOTHING in settings. I've been through everything in the 3-bar menu, and there is NOTHING. (I already use it to sync, go to OTHER settings, go to help, etc.)

This is a day after an update, though I don't know how that affects it.

Usually if I forget how I did something, I just explore and find it. BUT --

My way of adding new shortcuts seems to be GONE.

So, when I click on the VPN it has a button marked "Get Started", when I click on it it takes me to a page to sign in to my Mozilla account. When I sign into the account, it pops open the VPN box again and tells me I can now turn it on.

The problem is when the VPN box opens again it just gives me the 'Get Started' button again and it just loops back around to asking me to sign into my Mozilla account.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to use the VPN, when I press the "get started" button in the toolbar for the VNP it tells me to log in. When i do it says "you are logged in" "turn on the VPN button in the toolbar to access the function. but when i try i get sendt back in an endless loop to the "get started page again". As I understand it's in Beta but my region (Sweden) should be supported.

My t-online-Password + my e-mail-adress are not accepted in Firefox. An other Browser just accepts them, cause they are valid, The same with my Avira-Password, it is claimed to be "wrong". On my new notebook Firefox now has become to unhandy for me and no: mostly I fill in the Password and my user name correctly and I am tired of trying again and again if I made a mistake while another Browser just accepts the correct Password, which always did work also in my firefox on my Desktop - because I do not fill them every time newly (and maybe wrong), they are saved and are being autofilled. It's a pity I cannt continue to work with firefox and have to switch to another Browser (or several others), because it is no fun to try for hours to find the cause for pass words that Firefox does not accept.

Firefox does not delete history by using any of the recommended procedures. Clear recent does not work either. The only way I can delete history in by going to manage history and manually deleting.

I use GiveAsYouLive to raise funds for charity when shopping online. To ensure it works what settings should I have in Firefox to allow the shop site to interact with my browser? Please explain in simple terms as I'm not a techie !

Firefox is always displayed on an EXTENDED External Display. When I flipped a circuit breaker to work on a lightswitch, the EXTERNAL DISPLAY lost power, but the laptop which runs Firefox continued uninterrupted. When I restored power, Firefox had LOST ALL OPEN TABS - there were probably 50-75 tabs that opened every day when I started Firefox. Now I don't see a choice to ReOpen Last Session or anything else that looks like it would restore all the closed tabs. All the choices in Recent History seem to be what was browsed yesterday, day before, etc, but NOT all the tabs I routinely left parked OPEN every day which were open for months - the ones that opened every day when I opened Firefox. Are these tabs stored somewhere where I can recover them. I'm running firefox on an HP Laptop PC with Win11 Pro.
