Firefox Community Forum

Thank you for the upgrades to Firefox which I apply. After doing so I seem to lose access to FaceBook and other applications and then have to go through the whole processs of verifying motor bikes, buses etc from pictures before I can access again. It also happens with other applications. This happens EVERY time after I do an upgrade - is there a setting that will not force this change every time please?

Every time I try to use Google as a search engine in Firefox, this message appears. "About this page Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?:

I believe this occurred earlier in the year but was marked as solved. Immediately after Firefox automatically update to 151.0 64 bit today (in Western Australia), I am plagued with it as well.

I have tried disabling extensions and am not (I believe) running in incognito mode.

Any suggestions please?

Now that this update is in place, my 80% screen size now has a scroll bar on the right.

My second row of shortcuts is partially cut off. 67% screen size shows all shortcuts, but they are tiny.

Why is there so much empty space appearing on the home page (above "Firefox" branding)? I found no option to minimize this space.

I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 16), with the scale of the screen set at 125%.

TIA!

I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?

Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.

I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).

I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm being blocked from accessing an online publication I subscribe to unless I remove an ad blocker. When I complained, I got this response: "The service we use for logins and subscriptions, Piano, has been flagged as a tracker by a widely used open source tracking list, so to access your account information or benefits on the site, you will need to slightly loosen your browser's tracking restrictions that apply to the domain piano.io - how this is done varies quite a bit based on what browser/extension is being used to apply the restrictions." I'm using Firefox v149 on a 4.5yo MacBook Air. I have several ad blockers installed (probably redundantly: AdBlocker Plus, AdBlocker for Facebook, AdBlocker Ultimate, and Ghostery AdBlocker). I have no idea what I need to do to loosen Firefox's tracking restrictions that apply to piano.io. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Whenever I try to watch videos on websites such as onlyfans youtube, etc., the videos will not play since I installed firefox. I have to shut my computer down and start it all up for them to play. I googled how to fix this and I need to go to settings and scroll to performance and uncheck use recommended performance settings and uncheck use hardware acceleration when available but I can't find this to uncheck these items. Can anybody help me? TIA

I have many computers that I put Firefox on, and had no problem getting my bookmarks on them as long as I sign in to my account. However, I just had my desktop redone (that previously had Firefox) and now, after I have downloaded Firefox, I cant get my bookmarks when I attempt to do the syncing. Please help

I am on Mac Mojave 10.14.6 using Firefox 115.36 Oesr on esr update channel for many years. Unable to access Billpay due to message saying outdated browser yet Firefox says Firefox is up to date on the drop down box for Firefox. Up until tonight I had the ability to select option of "Continue with outdated browser" but did not have that option today. Should I contact Billpay as well as you?

Recently my system updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. It works great! However, it will not display my homepage which is yahoo.com. I can go to any other website and everything is normal. But when I click on the little house for "Homepage" it briefly displays and then goes blank.

This does not happen when I use a different browser.

Please advise.
