Firefox Community Forum

On Chrome, if you have multiple profiles open on a Windows 11 PC, they each show up on the taskbar as separate things with the Chrome logo. Meanwhile, with Firefox, separate profiles open windows on the same taskbar icon and simply switch the profile icon. The picture gives an example of what I mean. I've censored some stuff on it, but know that the stuff in white is in one profile while the other has the stuff in black. The gray is unrelated stuff. Claude says Chrome does this by giving each profile a separate AppUserModelID, whatever that is. Is it possible to do the same in Firefox?

Firefox 152.0, latest Windows 11 25H2 update on HP TP01-1036. I have tried just about all the AI fix suggestions but nothing works to fix the following problem:

When viewing the Yahoo.com News page, I scroll vertically down to see each article...one after the other. When I come to an article I want to read, I left click it. The article opens within the present tab and is closed by clicking the red "X " at the upper right hand corner of the article; which in turn, returns me to were I was before opening the article. However, eventually, after a few articles are read, when closing an article, the cursor will jump back to the page's first article instead of bringing me back to where I left off on vertical arrangement of the news articles'? This has been happening for around the last one to two weeks. Nothing else seems to be out of wack.

Hello, I noticed that when browsing webpages in Firefox, a window periodically appears asking me to confirm a certificate, presumably from a website (roughly called lt3.google). I haven't downloaded anything malicious and I regularly scan my system with an antivirus. Please help and respond. Thanks in advance.

I chose passwords and sign in, but there's more. You are already aware of the Facebook issues but there are others issues with this and I personally don't have time to tell you how to do your job. I have to keep up my production to keep my job. Your browser really cost me labor time. So, I would like to know do you recommend going back to a previous version until you fix this mess? OR... what ohter browser would you recommend as your replacement?

I appreciate your time, and I look forward to your answer.

Thank you R

Lost all tabs during an update including(weirdly) all theme stuff. Its not in the restore in history. But the themes part is the one that is strange, because why would themes change during an update, all while all my tabs are lost?

I cannot get into Firefox due to an error message that keeps coming up. Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I have tried deleting and reinstalling it, but it didn't really uninstall completely. I have tried a few suggestions from online, which didn't work. I also tried right clicking on the Firefox symbol and went into some of the different options, but nothing worked for me.

I'm struggling with the changes to my homepage in recent releases. I use (and love) the about:newtab setup. Frankly, it's a big reason I use Firefox. I had the old 5x8 setup of thumbnails, with everything where I wanted it and could easily find. I'm 67 so this is probably much more important to me than someone younger, Changing the number of columns when you switched it to 5x10 threw off where everything was, so I had to rearrange. Okay., I did. But then you go and change it back to 5x8 and now I've lost a bunch of stuff and have to rearrange everything again. Can I get 5x10 back? If so, please let me know how. Thanks.

on some sites, when I try to sign in I have entered my login information, but when I hit enter or submit for instance bigfishgames.com nothing happens. When I am on my Drs portal after I have entered pages of information and hit submit, again it does not get accepted. Soooo, I have to leave firefox and go to a different browser. Any help would be greatly appreciated, it is very frustrating when this happens. It is so frustrating that even though I have been on Firefox for many years I am thinking about using a different browser.

I'm a Chinese firefox user, so the following descriptions are translated and may not be so accurate. And the attached image is also Chinese, if necessary please use a translation app or somewhat to see it. I have only one default profile in my Firefox account, and I have stored a large number of passwords and bookmarks in this default profile. For certain reasons, I signed out of this profile while retaining the local data such as passwords—meaning that, apart from not being logged in, my browser state remains exactly the same as before. Now I wish to sign back in to enable synchronization. I can see a "Sync and Save Data" button prompting me to log in. After clicking this button, I am asked to enter my username and password, but then I receive a message stating that I have reached the account limit for this profile, and that this profile was previously synced to another account. This is absurd, as I do not have another account, nor have I ever synced this profile to any so-called other account. As a result, I am unable to sign in on this current profile.

Hello,

Since this morning, I haven't been able to access Bsky on my laptop because of a supposed HSTS risk, which means I can't add an exception to visit it. I use Firefox on my Android and going to the mobile version of the website lets me in no problem, so I assume there's an issue with my laptop.

I'd usually wait a few days and let it solve itself but just in case it's something on my end, I'd like to solve it! I'm on 151.0.4 (64-bit), don't use a VPN or an anti-virus, I have a couple of privacy add-ons but they've been here forever and they've never caused a fuss. I can post a screenshot of the error code and the certificate it sends me if it's any help.

I'd appreciate any pointers! Thanks!

recent firefox update can no longer copy and paste when creating a blog post in Squarespace, I have been using squarespace for around 15 years for my websites and I have never seen this issue, Firefox 15.1 installed and all of a sudden when trying to create a blog post in Squarespace, when I right click a text box pop up and it no longer says paste so I can no longer copy and paste text - this is more than a little annoying, you will not be surprised to know that I am now using Chrome to create my posts, there is no issue in chrome. I am a firefox geek! how can i solve this problem, I just did another update from Firefox, the issue remains I have been using computers for 40 year so I am not a novice but software glitches, I am lost

Hi there!

Firefox did an update today and the firefox VPN option disappeared, there is no option in settings or the menu for the VPN any longer.

Thank you!

i haven't used Firefox for a while but when i tried to import my bookmarks from Brave, they were imported but i cannot access them. i would have believed that Firefox would have either given me a 2nd listing or merged them into the ones i already have. am i to believe that this cannot be done? or am i overthinking this import thing?

Firefox will randomly require an admin to install the latest update and then go 10 or so updates without any admin access needed.

Work device, all users are non admin making this extremely tedious to update a browser that brings a new update almost every 3-5 days.

On top of that, I elevated to admin and went to the help > About section and pressed Restart to Update Firefox and entered admin creds and still its refusing to update. Just re-opens on 151.0.4.

On the previous version it did the same thing. I completely wiped my firefox from the system, removed all registry and file settings, rebooted, and did a fresh install.

now on 152.0 its doing the same thing again.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Many thx, Manfred
