I have downloaded the youtube downloader that was recommended by firefox, but everytime i go onto youtube the downloader menu does not appear below the the youtube screen. Can you advise me on how to remedy this problem. The downloader was working previously some time ago then just disappeared. I have attached a screenshot to show that the downloader menu isn't showing. Can you inform me how to fix this? Thank You. Tom O'Doherty-Sheldon. [edited]

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

I use translation A LOT. (I'm learning a foreign language.) It would help to be able to move or resize the results window. Right now, it covers the original foreign language text. I want to compare the translation with the original text and the fixed size and position of your results window makes that a lot more difficult.

Lost Firefox bookmarks and history

I’ve been having problems with Firefox on my Dell laptop, running Windows 11. (Firefox has been my default browser for years). For the last few weeks, when I opened Firefox, the history sidebar would always appear by default, and I would have to close it manually. Of course, having the sidebar open didn’t seem to affect the functionality of the program, I just found it a tiny bit bothersome.

Recently I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would solve the glitch, but it did not. Even worse, I’ve lost ALL my bookmarks and YEARS of browsing history.

Is there ANY way to retrieve them?

In retrospect, the glitch itself was/is just a minor annoyance, but losing my bookmarks and history is devastating‼️ Thanks

What are the best ways to optimize Firefox for faster startup and quicker page loading? I’ve disabled unnecessary extensions and cleared cache regularly, but I’m wondering if there are other advanced settings or about:config tweaks that can further improve performance.

Are there specific recommendations for reducing resource usage, especially on lower-end hardware? Any insights on balancing speed and functionality would be greatly appreciated!

I appreciate the "Translate Selection To" in the right click context menu is in Beta. For me it works but not as well as it might. For example, I am English, my laptop is set to English, I am viewing a website in English but it has some foreign text on it, so I hightlight the text, right click and I am offered to "Translate Selection To ... Slovenian" Why???

I then have to tell it the language of the source/highlighted text and I have to tell it I want the result in English. I can accept it might not recognise the language of the source text but it is very annoying that it assumes I want it converted to Slovenian instead of the systems default language.

To make it worse, having changed the languages to those I want, it doesn't remember them and the next time I use it I'm back to square one.

This would be a really useful feature if only it was logical.

I looked into the settings and dissabled the EXCACT setting for this problem in the "about:config" going for the one with "wordmark" in the setting but its done nothing.

good day, I made a few changes on Facebook, then I battled to log in to Facebook again. I tried with Chrome NO PROBLEM, I also tried Edge also NO PROBLEM. Now I use a password manager, so I KNOW I am using the same password all the time on my PC. BTW on my iPhone I can also login without an issue. So I uninstalled Firefox 2x now using Revo uninstaller and removed all files from my PC. On Re-installing Firefox I installed as a fresh install..... But when I open it, Firefox, all my recent sites are still there??? When I try login to Facebook, again it asks me to confirm I am human.When I do that it takes me back to the FB login screen. The I try and login MANUALLY with my credentials that work on all other browsers, and the same thing happens and so it loops around and around, so I cannot login to Facebook from Firefox - and I cannot fathom why not. In the second installation i removed ALL passwords in Firefox. I then logged into Facebook on Chrome and made sure I do not have @FA in Facebook which I do not, so I'm really stymied. Hope someone can advise/assist with resolving this very strange issue. Should you need Screen grabs please let me know and I will get them to you

Is there a way to restore a previous window's open tabs from the sync data? I can visualize the device B's tabs but I don't know where to see where device A's went when I restarted the laptop (which doesn't usually lose all of my tabs).
