I have always been able to click on a box in the upper right to see my bookmarks on the left side of the screen.

This has now disappeared and the only way I can see the bookmarks is to go to "manage bookmarks". I don't see how to bring it back to the way it was.

I didn't knowingly change anything.

Thank you

Over the past week or so, I've been finding that Youtube videos don't start from the very beginning - the very opening is missing.

So as examples, you're playing a song that you know starts directly on a beat, but that first beat gets missed, or there will be an opening sentence such as "Everybody is talking about the latest... " and what you hear is more like "Vrybody" - you can clearly hear that It's slightly off.

This relates to Firefox in three ways.

My initial thought was that there is some conflict with using an Adblocker (uBlock in my case) as Youtube is trying to force a pre-video ad that won't play, but even with the adblocker disabled the problem persists.

I then cleared my Firefox Youtube history so it loads as a completely fresh version - but the problem is still there.

Finally, I tried the same video on Chrome to see if this is definitely a Youtube issue...and it plays correctly without a problem.

Therefore, the problem seems confined to Firefox but I am unsure where - what setting needs to get tweaked to sort this out?

When using Firefox on my Apple computer I keep getting this message" Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

This happens even when I try to get to Mozilla.org!!

Today I got the Firefox message "Secure Connection Failed" when I composed and tried to send Yahoo email to a friend who I have corresponded with for several years. In addition, a few months ago I could not connect on a Televisit with my doctor when I clicked the link her office sent. Again I got the Firefox message "Secure Connection Failed."

The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

Is it possible to make Windows 11 Firefox use separate icons on the taskbar like Chrome does?

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?

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.

I have recently discovered that Firefox is constantly sending data at around 3KBytes/S to a variety of Cloudflare servers.

What is the data that is being sent and why is this happening?

This has started to occur in one of the last updates to Firefox.

Currently running 151.0.4 (64-bit) on Windows

Does this constitute a privacy violation, what is the data that is being sent?
