Firefox Community Forum

This isn't exactly something that is broken but it is something that is plenty weird and I wondered if anyone has an idea how it happens.

I shut down my Linux laptop one day and when I started it the next day, all my tabs were gone. Annoying, but I spent some time searching for the most important ones and got on with my life.

We have a class picture book that is only accessible by faculty from campus or using the secure VPN. It helps us to learn people's names. It is an HTML file. One day, I needed to look someone up. Ordinarily that would open a new tab in the browser I have running, but it didn't. A whole new Firefox appeared for it and there were all my lost tabs.

Wut?

Now I can use the picture book to alternate between my old tabs and my new ones. How on Earth can this happen? It isn't exactly something that is broken, just something I don't understand.

Accessing Planefinder.com. Have done so many times. After checking on a flight multiple times today, I acquired a notice that said I was blocked from accessing. Is this a scam? It says I entered a word or phrase that was unacceptable and thus am blocked. I can still use Planefinder on my cell phone. I only enter the plane information that is called for. What is going on?

When attempting to reverse-image search an image, Google Image Search replaces the image with a blank white image.

Steps taken: Verified resistFingerprinting is false. Enabled it, got the usual colored crosshatch image. Disabled, got white box. Tested with PhotoPea (works just fine there). Tested with Chrome (works just fine there). Disabled ETP and generic tracking protections. Tested in private window (nope). Pasting to MSPaint, worked. Saving as an image file and trying to upload that way, nope.

Open to trying more things.

146.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Addons that may have caused issues: UBlock Origin TamperMonkey Disabled both, same results.

I'd like to have no news, people stories, nothing on my screen when I open my browser. Is that possible? I'm ready for the world to slow down and get more connected to nature. Thank you.

Windows 11: I have file download setting set to: "always ask where to save". I choose the location and folder when the save file box opens. The document is saved in the location I chose BUT it also saves to the desktop. How do I stop a duplicate download from saving to the desktop?

Thank you

ALL

please help, i did the FF security update and lost everything! i have no passwords or bookmarks please send me a link or something to recover to last weeks version of FF this is driving me crazy.

Hello I had Mozilla Firefox as my default browser on my Mac laptop

I got a message this morning that Firefox could not open

I tried several times but no luck

I read through some of the online HELP sites and deleted the Firefox app and reloaded it

I also cleared the browsing history on SAFARI and CHROME although I couldn't see why that would work

Still not able to get FIREFOX to open

there's damn near always problems, pages display funny, dont load, the browser has its own " loading circle" temp files/cache is still a problem? do you guys know its 2025 and browsers still cant handle temp files? mozilla has ZERO help. no wonder everyone uses chrome. but they suck a$$ too.

Often when I do an internet query, I get content back in some foreign language...URL: zhihu.com ..... I want to block this URL from my computer. How can I do this?

Suddenly Firefox has begun to play bell tones for clicks with my mouse.

I am unable to disable this new behavior. It is ONLY happening with Firefox. No other browsers behave in this manner.

My PC sounds are shut off.

I never want bell tones ever at any time. Please help me discontinue this behavior as soon as possible. As someone who works with professional audio recording this is especially undesirable and disturbing.

Please. Somebody. Stop the madness.

Thanks!!
