Hello everyone, My browser opens with two small pop-ups that pops and closes immediately right before the actual firefox window shows up. I have noticed that some time ago and I'm pretty sure this wasn't happening before. I didn't do any updates or add on's (firefox or windows). What could be causing this? Could it be a virus infections? Windows Defender scanner doesn't find any threats. Thanks for any tips and help.

Randomly after certain updates, the browser history gets randomly erased. The cookies are not deleted, so my sign in information is retained across my usual website (no issue here).

I wanted to report this as it happened twice around the past two weeks and it was inconvenient.

Hail all:

Now, I got quite the few extensions, up to the amount, these cannot be brought into the Extension Bar. I could be wrong, however, there are possibly others with this issue.

Now, my question is, if Firefox could add a Grouping system within the Extensions Bar, basically drawers that you place on the Extensions Bar, which can be named (like "Writing Tools", "Saving Tools", ... .), and which act as drop-down menus, in which the extensions you placed in this drawer, to be listed when clicked? It would also clean up the Extensions Bar for people like me with many extensions, make it far more orderly ... .

Or, is there an extension which allows this?

Thank you in advance: Ke.

I found any archived topic on not being able to customize the PDF Toolbar at all, from April 2023. But, over the weekend, my PRINT button has now moved from the first position to the last position. In fact, all 4 of the buttons have reversed themselves. It is now "Text, Draw, Image, & Print", instead of the normal Print first, etc. If we can not customize these buttons, how did they reverse themselves without my authorization? This really is inconvenient and bothers my OCD greatly.

How do I recover the websites that I have been on and emails I get and emails I've sent to people If I delete my history? Is there any products I can buy that saves this information or maybe Firefox does it but a person has to ask them to restore/recover this information?

Not sure which is the cause. On multiple laptops and desktops after last Windows 11 update and then an immediate Firefox update, the software protection service of Windows 11 goes into high cpu mode consuming 40-50% of cpu when Firefox is opened. Running Firefox version 122.0 (64-bit) version. Tried in safe mode and still having issue. Just an FYI for developers to look into for next Firefox update.

Hi there.

I like Firefox / Mozilla. However, Chrome wants to be my default and I want to stay with Firefox / Mozilla. When I click on a link in my email or an article with a link, Chrome takes over! It has been happening for about a week or 2, and I don't want it to happen. Do you have any ideas about how I can stop this, please?

Thanks in anticipation, Gerry Austin [email address]

Hi,

I have got a problem with Mozzila for like a year or two - most of the time the browser is fast and react imidiatelly, but sometimes when i click on any link it only shows grey loading circle in tab name and took about 8-10sec to stop and not load anything. When i try again, linked website is loaded imidiatelly. This happening like aprox. 4-5 times in an hour of browsing web, but sometimes its all good for few hours. Opening even new tabs doesnt help and they are "stuck" in loading for the same time. Then, after that 7-10secs all of them works fine. (When i open new tab and wrote something when it is "stuck" and then when it unstuck then it deletes all what i have typed in adress box and whole tab is in default state). When i close and open Mozilla it works fine but again, just for some time (random duration..). Sometimes, it loads like half page (for example, images are missing).. when i reload site after "stuck" then it loads perfectly fine.

Im using pretty decent PC: Ryzen 5 5600X, HyperX 32GB RAM DD4 3200Mhz, Samsung Nvme SSD 3.0 512GB (now changed to WD black Nvme SSD 4.0 1TB), Aorus RTX 3070, ASUS B450-F Gaming MOBO with 1gbit ethernet card, Win 11 Pro.

Got best internet provider in area (almost no outage, like 1 outage in 2years) - got 1Gbit internet speed (Ookla speed test shows 900Mbit+ download and upload, with ping avg. 0,6ms

I am assuimng, that all components are good because when i play online games for hours it never disconnects or lags or anything, same is for downloading stuff, VPN connection etc...

I have tryied yet (was testing with VPN or other stuff off): 1. clear cache/cookies 2. update Windows / drivers / BIOS 3. reinstall Mozzila without loggin in / importing stuff (few tries) 4. reinstall whole PC 2 times (with changing name of PC), 1x try using Mozzila without even logging in (so absolutely clean Mozzila and Win) 5. update router, reset router multiple times 6. set DNS from auto to Google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.), in router and in PC 7. turn off antivirus and firewall 8. was using many diffrent versions of Mozzila cose it happening like for 1-2years now

Got laptop with same Mozzila acc linked in and synced and there are no problems even in same network / same cable connection

Was trying to google some help or browse your site but there are mostly only common things which I alredy tryied..

Was not using other browser, cose I am used to use Mozzila (suggestions, looks, etc...), so i am trying to avoid solution to change browser...
