Firefox Community Forum

W11 Main screen, I have all 4 rows turned on.

This happened some time ago and then stopped doing it, I don't know why.

All of a sudden Firefox is back to filling open (and unused) shortcut positions, with old links pulled from the history file. This is clutter. It just started happening. I can manually clear the old links with a millions delete clicks and the empty shortcut position remain free for that session. when I get out of the main screen and return, the unused positions have refilled with old links from history again.

How to I stop this?

I want to restore a previous profile which I can see on File Explorer, but no previous profiles appear on the About Profiles page. How can I access this previous profile?

I can't get my original profile 1 to show the original background color. This suggests I don't really have my original profile, I do prefer a white background rather than the iky red/maroon color.

Every time I access my bank's website using Firefox I get a pop-up telling me to "manage online experience". After I "manage" it, it appears on every page I go to on the bank's site (ie. savings account or chequing account etc.) I have white listed several of the pages in Privacy and Security but this has no effect. Obviously I am missing something. Can anyone give me guidance? Thx.

Здравствуйте, у меня звуки из браузера перестали воспроизводиться сначала на 1 мониторе(со 2го воспроизводились), а затем и со 2го. Остальные приложения выводят звук исправно. Что делать? Спасибо

i HAVE SET FIREFOX AS MY DEFAULT BROWSER, BUT WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT MICROSOFT BING POPS UP. THIS INFURIATES ME AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO STOP IT. IN THE CONTROL PANEL IT WILL ALSO NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE MICROSOFT EDGE.

This Help Article: ( [|"Manage local site storage settings"]) says: Allow or block websites from storing information "You can set up Firefox to always allow or block specific sites from storing information. You can also allow a site to store only for a single session. "

So I added a URL into 'Cookies and Site Data' > 'Manage Exceptions' with the option "Allow for Session". But it appears to have no effect. The site's cookies and data don't disappear from the "Manage Cookies and Site Data" window after Firefox is quit.

Does "Allow for Session" mean that a site's cookies and data will be deleted when Firefox is quit? If yes, the feature is not working ... in my version of Firefox which is 115.32.0esr. Or, am I missing something? I have "Enhanced Tracking Protection" set at "Strict", if that has any relevance.

Thanks !

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

I've tried saving in an active private window, but no success. Testing in Firefox private window local programing errors. Clean-slate avoid past incorrect memory errors.

More of a comment. Firefox is the only browser I have used. Love it! Many important bookmarks to easily navigate. Broser update messed up bookmarks and took me hours to get back! Found. Save key and/or password! Learned a lot about profiles and Firefox along the way. Ugh!

I am trying to create a backup of FireFox for moving from a Windows 10 machine to a new Windows 11 machine. The instructions for creating a backup don't make any sense.

--- Click the main menu, and go to Settings. Select Sync. Scroll down to Backup, and click Manage backup. Choose the location to save the backup file. ---

When I click the Main Menu, go to Settings, Select Sync, there is no Backup listed. If I search for the term "Backup", this is the result: "Sorry! There are no results in Settings for “backup”. Need help? Visit Firefox Support".

Syncing is on, so I am assuming that FireFox is being backup?? Or am I missing something somewhere?

Hello,

I am having an issue with my Instagram account on PC (web version).

I can log in successfully, but after logging in the page does not load. It only shows the Instagram logo and stays stuck on the loading screen. Refreshing the page does not help.

Important details:

Instagram works normally on my mobile phone (app)

The account is not blocked or disabled

I changed my password successfully

I tried different browsers (Firefox, Edge, Chrome)

I cleared cache and cookies

I tried private/incognito mode

The problem only happens on PC, not on mobile

Because everything works fine on my phone, I believe this is a problem with the Instagram web version or a browser-related issue on your side.

Please check my account and let me know how I can fix this or regain normal access on PC.

Thank you for your help.
