Firefox Community Forum

i had a bunch of grouped tabs which i 'closed and saved' but when i tried to find them all of them were gone, only the newer groups i made just now show up, not a single one of my old ones do

With the latest firefox update all my bookmarks do not appear on my windows11 desktop. But the synchronized booksmarks on my win10 note book and on my iphone still exist. So nothing is lost, the bookmarks simply do not show up on the win11 desktop. With this firefox update I also received a desktop message that bookmarks might not appear because of an interference with the internet security program (f-secure) Unfortunately I did not give enough attention to this explaination there and the steps how to solve the problem.

Can somebody send me the link to this explaination or tell me how to fix the bookmark interference with f-secure?

many thanks thomas

For the past few days, DDG search has been slow. I'm using Firefox version 146.0.1 on Windows 11. Disabling extensions didn't help, but clearing the cache had an effect: The first search after clearing cache is fast (about 1 second), but subsequent searches are slow (about 15 seconds). I was able to repeat this sequence several times. I also cleared cookies, but that didn't seem to have any effect. DDG Search works fine in a Private window. I'm stumped!

Good day,

I'd like to start by thanking the Mozilla Firefox dev team for the newest iteration of the profiles feature. I think it's great.

One area where I think it could use improvement from usability perspective is a way to launch a specific profile via the right-click menu when using the taskbar icon. Currently, using the "Choose a profile when Firefox opens" only gives users the option to select the profile on the initial launch of Firefox. After that if the user opens a new window via the taskbar, the most recently opened profile is automatically chosen.

I managed to find a "hack" to add the requested capability. It seems adding an action to the "firefox.desktop" file in the "/usr/share/applications/" directory works the way I'd like it to.

Modifications to "firefox.desktop" Changed line 12 to: Actions=choose-profile;new-window;new-private-window;open-profile-manager; Added lines 529 - 534 (before Desktop Action new-window): [Desktop Action choose-profile] Exec=firefox --new-instance Name=Choose Profile Name[en_US]=Choose Profile Name[en_CA]=Choose Profile Name[en_GB]=Choose Profile

The end result is a new option available when right clicking the taskbar that opens the new profile selector. Screencaps of options before and after attached. I imagine that users will need to have the "Choose a profile when Firefox opens" enabled for this to work as expected, but would like someone from Mozilla to confirm this.

Would like to request that this option be built into Firefox going forward, so there's no need for users to "tweak" it to get this functionality.

Windows 10 After restarting computer, the bookmarks were missing (I somehow managed to get them back), the Instapaper and Bitwarden icons are missing from the menu bar and video's will not play (but will on play on MSN). While trying to figure this out, the Puzzle/Add-ons icon is also now missing. The instruction in the photo do match what I see when clicking on the Puzzle.

I use Copilot 365. Too often when i load the side bar, it will ask me if I want to log into my personal account or my work account (copilot 365). How can I set the work account as the default so I don't keep on getting that message? It seems like the side bar was designed for the personal copilot link which is why it keeps on asking me.

I use Firefox every day at home and at work, and I really need to separate different content across many profiles between devices. Can I access the features of the new profile manager please?

In "Language and Appearance" Dark theme is selected. Also in "Themes" the dark theme is selected. Some websites are displayed in light colours, despite this, which is an annoyance, but not yet a problem. The problem is the "light" websites are displayed in pink-ish palette, which seems to correspond to the default light theme. browser.display.background_color is set to #FFFFFF, so no pink here. privacy.resistFingerprinting, which should have no impact, but one help article suggest that it might interfere is set to false The problem appeared after the last restart, which may also mean the last update. Any ideas how I can make either the dark theme work properly or at least have the webpages displayed in their original colours rather then pink hue?

LATELY, I CANNOT USE MY CREDIT CARD. i INPUT MY SAVED PASSWORD FROM WINDOWS LOGIN.

IT OFFERS CHOICES THEN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PAY WHAT I WANT TO PAY, THE FORM GOES BLANK AGAIN.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS A WINDOWS ISSUE OR FF, BUT AT LEAST MY ANSWER WILL BE QUICKER HERE.

THANK YOU.

I downloaded something today that installed "Cubbie" and Yahoo. I have no interest in either,especially since Cubbie pops up as my search engine. How do I get rid of it? Thanks! BB

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mozilla Foxfire browser because of challenges with most recent update (i.e. missing horizontal tabs, difficulty finding bookmarks, et al). It is my preferred default browser! Please advise how I may prevent future updates. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Susan Bryant.

When I try to log into Tangerine bank I get the error. "We're sorry for the inconvenience. This function is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

This issue started Oct-13-2025 and it appears to work when using Firefox ESR 146.01 but not the regular Firefox 146.01 versions. Tangerine is not giving me information on the error and I was wondering if there is a difference between the ESR and regular version that might clear up this issue?

on all New Tabs and too Windows the Weather-Functionality appears wrong. It appears absolutely impossible to change the Weather for the actually location - so it appears as you may delete that future in general

It's happened about three times now where, upon a restart of my computer, Firefox completely signs me out of my account. And when I sign back in, I'm also signed out of any other websites I was signed into before, all my add-ons are still there but are acting like they've just been installed for the first time, everything saved to my Firefox color is gone, and any changes I've made to my settings have been reset to the default. How can I stop this from happening, or at the very least, why does this happen in the first place?
