I am in Toronto Canada!!! For decades!!! (Have traveled occasionally to Paris Italy New York Buffalo.) But, for years Moronic Firefox has "INSISTED" that I'm in Australia and won't be changed!!! Despite endless (and often only marginally relevent)setup options, this very fundamental piece of "search" information appears 'immune' to human/user change. If the option to address this is, in fact, available, it has been superbly buried! Despite my long-term preference for Firefox for a number of reasons, I give up! And will -sadly- delete Firefox unless a sane USER-FRIENDLY solution is immediately available. Best wishes, JLR

Hello,

A pop-up with a QR Code suggesting to sync Firefox home page on my home computer with Firefox on my phone. I changed to a new email and I don't have access to my old one. There is no link or access on my Firefox browser security page to change it. There is a button to add a secondary email but the access code is sent to my old email address. See photos below.

Thanks so much, Silvio

After a problem with his Internet connection, a friend is now unable to open Firefox. At first the message was that ‘… this tag has crashed.’ Now the message is that it cannot find something with a .dll at the end. I suggested to simply uninstall and then reinstall Firefox, which would also ensure that he has the latest version. However, he has no backup of his bookmarks.

I was, therefore, wondering whether it is possible to access the bookmarks somewhere else on the computer, in order to back them up before the uninstall/reinstall procedure.

Many thanks.

Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

Hello, I simply need to add bookmarks, but when I select Add on the phone Firefox app, nothing happens?

Phone: iPhone 11 iOS 18.5 Firefox app: Firefox 141.2 (59350)

Here's what I'm doing: Phone -> Firefox app -> 3 horizontal dots (bottom right) -> Add (top right.

I then check for the added bookmark, but find no new bookmark in: Phone -> Firefox app -> 3 horizontal dots (bottom right) -> Bookmarks (top left) -> Star tab is selected by default -> Desktop Bookmarks -> Unsorted Bookmarks -> This folder is empty Bookmarks Toolbar -> my bookmarks which are synced with the desktop Bookmarks Menu -> Bookmarks -> This folder is empty

I have a desktop PC with Windows 11 and Firefox 144.0 (64-bit).

In Firefox, when I click the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner of the page, and click on "History", "Recent History" shows 9 sites.

When I click on "Manage History": "Today" contains 1 name "Yesterday" contains the same name "Last 7 days" contains 9 names

In the search box, when I type about:preferences#privacy and press enter.

Under "History", "Firefox will" shows "Remember history"

How do I get Firefox to keep the history of the sites I visited?

Often (though not always) Firefox will prompt me to "Make Firefox your default browser" when first run or when run after being closed, despite me clicking "Set as default browser".

According to "KDE Settings / Default Applications", Firefox ESR is the default web browser and the default file association for HTML files. Firefox and Chromium (and I presume Konqueror) are installed. A similar laptop with similar software on it does not exhibit the problem.

What is Firefox actually checking to determine whether it needs to ask "Set as default browser"?

Hi, looking to ask if anyone has experience with restoring Firefox open tabs after closing them accidentally on Android.

Environment: Android 14 Firefox account sync enabled

Things tried: 1. Firefox Sync (The open tab information was promptly cleared away by the sync) 2. Open tab information from a separate desktop Firefox browser with Sync enabled prior (same issue as #1) 3. ADB file access (no permissions) 4. ADB downgrade install to pull old files (failed due to Android 14) 5. Accessing "files:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/..." (cannot download files and looking at the timestamps, the SQLite files have probably been overwritten) 6. Firefox debugging (Nothing useful) 7. Searching for a way to get Firefox Sync historical data (doesn't seem available) 8. Mailing customer support (No response)

Things I didn't do prior to this incident (answering the common responses found online): 1. Bookmark my tabs 2. Firefox Collections
