The website you are blocking is on my domain and is my website. Why are you blocking it? Stop blocking it!

Bing homepage is no longer showing 'Toggle Feed Area Position'; basically the very bottom of the screen. I am not able to adjust the display area, in case it is just hidden below. How to fix?

I'm receiving this message The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

These icons appeared recently in my Firefox browser I can't remove them. The only recent changes included uninstalling SuperAntiSpyware after finding that Microsoft PC Manager is a better option, which has performed excellently without issues.

Additionally, a free VPN (Proton) was briefly used from the Firefox browser without installation, but after finding it complicated to set up, it was deleted. A few hours later, I noticed the two icons as the windows were misbehaving and they are causing a slowdown in the PC's performance. They do not seem to be add-ons or extensions.

How do I remove the icons and return to the previous performance?

Hello All -

Over the years I have saved many bookmarks across several different devices. Therefore the bookmarks vary between devices. Is there any way that I can tidy up my bookmarks, deleting many of them, on my main machine and then have all the other devices Synch to that list only?

I have tried deleting ALL the bookmarks on the "subsidiary" devices and then synched them but that didn't work. I think I'm asking whether one device can be made the "master" for all the others to Synch to that one and none of the others.

Hope that's reasonably clear.

Thanks,

Ian.

I am intermittently but repeatedly getting this message in Firefox:

> The Windows file-dialog has crashed. No file or folder could be selected.

Windows 11, Firefox 142.0.1 Most recently within www.facebook.com Edit Album

Is this a known problem? And does it have a solution?

Hi, I'm using Firefox 142 on Ubuntu 24.04. It's a fresh install. I cannot sign in icloud.com with Firefox even though it works with other browsers like Brave. I deleted all cookies and site data and disabled extensions (KeePassXC). It doesn't help. I tried in new private window. No success. I copy my password from a password manager, so, no, I haven't mistyped it.

Here's what I do:

1. Open Firefox and go to icloud.com
2. Click on the "Sign In" button
3. Enter my Apple-ID and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Email or Phone Number" field

At this point Brave behaves differently than Firefox. See below for how Brave behaves.

Firefox: -> A "Password" field appears (no buttons "Continue with Password" and "Sign in with Passkey")

1. Enter my password and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Password" field

-> Error message "Failed to verify your identity. Try again" appears. See icloud.png

Brave: -> Two buttons "Continue with Password" and "Sign in with Passkey" appear. See icloud-with-brave.png

1. Click on button "Continue with Password"

-> A "Password" field appears.

1. Enter my password and click on the arrow on the right end of the "Password" field

-> 2FA code is sent to my iPhone -> "Two-Factor Authentication" form opens... etc. complete sign in successfully

Please help!

Unfortunately I cannot attach the HAR file from the login sequence because the password is included. However, I attached some screenshots from the Web Developer Tools. It seems to me that the login flow with Firefox is broken. I can't tell who's to blame, Apple of Firefox. The error message with Firefox is always the same, no matter whether I enter the correct password or rubbish. In Brave, however, there is a more precise error message when I enter a bad password. See icloud-with-brave-wrong-password.png

I am installing Firefox (Latest from website) on a windows11 laptop. I had firefox many years ago and uninstalled it. I am reinstalling and I get a pop up that states: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window:"

I have uninstalled and went through my laptop to remove all references from firefox. Task manager shows no sign of mozilla or firefox running processes.

A check of the crash log is empty.

Hello For some reason most of the buttons in my toolbar have stopped working. When I first open Firefox they all work, then when I enter websites they stop working. The 'home' button still seems to work, but almost all others (such as the 'back' button etc) can't be selected. This is very frustrating. To note, I am not tech savvy at all.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

I'm using the AI chatbot in Firefox Developer Edition's sidebar and I was wondering if it's possible to set the web page from the active tab as the context by default for all future chats.

Is there a setting (checkbox) for this somewhere?

I've noticed recently that I am unable to log into my bank account when I use Firefox and have to use the Microsoft Edge browser instead. I've used Firefox as my primary browser for years and began experiencing the problem in the last month or so. Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?

I have two websites of my own. I am viewing one and it is correct. When I view the other, it uses the https cert from the first one, and says my site is not secure. I have viewed the cert, and it is definitely correct. I think Mozilla is probably caching old information - the certs have been correct for most of 2025, so it is a pretty old version. Therefore, it is not actually caching the cert, but caching which cert it should use. I have tried clearing the cache, and it did not help!

Has Mozilla got some kind of cache I can't clear? Should it not re-read the cert when it loads the site, or at least the cert date, each time it reads the site (ie was not previously showing it on screen)?

Hi I see that Firefox has the option to ask an AI chatbot, with your options for AI being Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral. What I'm not seeing is an option for Lumo, Protons new chatbot. My question is is there any future support coming for Lumo, or better yet, an option to let FF users choose ANY chatbot, not just these 4?
