My Firefox Menu dropdowns disappeared so I read that you should hit "alt" button to restore it. It only works temporarily and dropdowns disappear every 5 minutes. And Firefox is not saving passwords when I visit websites. (I checked and I still have all my passwords saved in Firefox Settings.) And I have "Fill usernames and passwords automatically" checked in Firefox Privacy Settings.

I started having problems with Firefox when I installed "Hide my IP" add-on because I wanted to change my IP address. I added it because I was getting website advertisement popups telling me to buy a VPN. I disabled "Hide my IP" yesterday. And I'm also getting more website popups now. Do I have to tweak Firefox Settings to stop all of these problems?

Firefox has been up-to-date and I'm using Windows 10.

I have been trying to logon to my SirusXM account for 30 minutes. I enter the email address for the account and it says it can't find it. Then Find Username link tells me to use the email it can't find. Repeated several times. Even got online with SirusXM chat pop up and they told me to use the email it "can't find". The email is/was typed correctly. The FireFox is the latest update. The OS is Windows 11 (updated) and the hardware is an I9-12900HX, 32 gig laptop. More than adaquate. So on a whim I opened the logon site in Brave and voila got right in. Am I doing something wrong with Firefox?

Hello Mozilla,

I hope this message finds you well. I had the pleasure of being part of the Mozilla team approximately three years ago, and I must say, I cherished every moment of it.

I am reaching out to you today with a pressing matter. My current company, Five9, recently submitted an extension that unfortunately got rejected. This extension is crucial for our business operations, and its rejection has put us in a challenging situation.

I understand that reviewing submissions is a meticulous process, but I wanted to inquire if there's any possibility of having our extension reevaluated. Your assistance in this matter would be immensely appreciated.

As a side note, during my time at Mozilla, I had the privilege of collaborating with the operations team, led by Sean Rich.

Thank you for considering our request. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards, Jorge M Spiropulo Five9 Architecture

Firefox has stopped saving history and I am unable to save any bookmarks. This seems to have happened recently for no reason I can understand. I haven't made any changes. I use a VPN but was doing so before this happened. I have checked all the settings and also deleted the places.sqlite file. When I click <bookmark current tab> nothing happens and history shows as empty.

Help!!! After using this profile to sign in here to ask a question yesterday, upon restarting Firefox today it has deleted my entire login history, cookies and all passwords. However, when I go to recover these, the only default profile I can find when I do an "about:profiles" is one that is five years old.

I can literally no longer access any of the sites I use because al of the logins are gone.

Help! How do I get all my data back? My life is over if I cannot access any of my business sites, emails, Paypal, Amazon accounts or anything.

Dear Team. As always thanks for a great browser... I had a Firefox update come through this morning (through the browser prompt). After installing the update the pc became extremely sluggish. Thought it may need a restart so restarted the pc but pretty much the same issue? Slow, delayed and sluggish.

I checked what was running in the back ground and other than the usual microsoft nonsense and background stuff it showed 30 instances of Firefox running taking up 82% of the memory. I always have one browser with 8 tabs running by default.

I'm running an i7 processor with 8gig of ram which should be more than ample. Any thoughts / ideas would be most welcome. Once again, thanks for the best browser....

Since the most recent update, I am finding that Firefox has become highly unresponsive when it comes to loading some pages. Some are fine but others such as Reddit and Wikipedia will not or only partially load. Pictures will often only half load or not at all. News articles will often print text and fonts but nothing else.

This not occurring on all sites. And it doesn't seem to matter whether the site is https activated or not as some of the other threads seem to indicate is the problem.

I need a solution to this.
