Firefox Community Forum

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

I have no idea what has changed and I do not have the experience to attempt to figure it out. I have had Dashlane for years and it works like a charm. Now, it will not auto fill certain sites and with other there is some sort of conflict which causes the sites to sit and spin but it will not auto-fill like usual.

All I have done is clear the cashe several times and then it started. Its a brand new machine so not sure how that plays into it but it was all of a sudden out of no where.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Can Firefox not use Google's safe browsing because there are some big conflict of interests. If website owners do not put google's codes in their website, Google will block their website or flag it as deceptive. This may become a large legal issue later. Only once the website user verifies with Google, will this be cleared. I run over 400 websites (all of the same codes) and the websites that I verify with Google were all blocked with a notice that the sites were deceptive. There are no difference in codes with the site that were verified and none were blocked. So I had to upload Google's codes to each website to clear the blockage. There were no phishing, no spamming, and nothing deceptive about any of the websites. The only difference was they were not verified with Google. Thus this forces website owners to put Google's codes on their website which is giving Google way too much control over the internet. I thought firefox was not controlled by any other company such as Google. If I use other browsers such as Microsoft's Edge, none of my website had any issues. Please do not use Google services as that gives too much control to Google. In addition, Google's Captcha is really another obstacle.

My problem is that Firefox will no longer allow me to login to my primary websites (email, bank, Costco, Apple...). I originally assumed that my outdated version of the MacOS was the problem, which was tied to the age of my outdated iMac hardware. Hence, I bought a new iMac, with the latest MacOS. Firefox still does not work. There is something wrong with Firefox and I don't know what it is. I have captured screenshots of the symptoms of what goes wrong with each website, but the one thing in common is that they are saying it is an application error on my end of the connection — which must be the browser (Firefox). I am being forced to do my daily business with Safari, but that is a strange browser for me, and they do not have my numerous Bookmarks. Also, their way of storing bookmarks is very strange, so I only have 5 — the ones that I have found so far that do not work with Firefox. There are probably more, maybe All of my bookmarks, but these are the 5 that I need every day.

Figure 1. Outlook (my email) When I log into my email, the result is Figure 1. This appears to me an application error on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 2. Costco.com When I log into Costco.com, the result is Figure 2. This appears to me an application error on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 3. Apple.com When I log into Apple.com, the result is Figure 3. This is Apple telling me there is something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 4. BankofAmerica.com When I log into my account at Bank of America, everything looks fine at first. But when I try to open my checking account, the result is Figure 4. This symbol, swirling forever, indicates something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

Figure 5. Hallmark.com When I log into Hallmark.com, everything looks fine at first. But none of the links will open, hence I cannot obtain any information about upcoming TV programs. This indicates something wrong on my side of the connection -- i.e., Firefox.

All the above examples work perfectly with Safari. Firefox is supposed to be the most up-to-date browser, so why has Firefox stopped working properly?

So I have had a favorite URL in Firefox for a decade or more https://www.outlook.com/owa to access outlook.com via web browser. Microsoft in Firefox only since the last upgrade does some weird looking and throws an error saying to try again later. If I delete my cookies for live.com and refresh the link it brings me to the sign in page where I can put in the email/password and it opens fine. If I close the window same thing happens and have to clear cookies, etc. Doesn't have the issue on Chrome or Edge, but thought I would make someone aware something odd is happening there. For now I just am using an alternate link https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/ and it comes up fine but it is not re authenticating again at that point.

Is there something I can do to avoid the error?

‘accessibilty impaired for tab scrolling. SO HARF TO FIND AND KEEP CURSOR ON THE TEENEY TINY BAR. LOTS OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND HAND. no ability to join discussion. circular links. I HATE IT. AM GOING BACK TO CHROME. TAB THING WAS ONLY REASON I CAME BACK TO FIREFOX

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

I did use yahoo email for long time but now I want to switch to g mail address for my own protection and will keep my home address and will use my personal information as is not further changes.

Ive notcied in the last few weeks that sometimes whn i open mozilla and try watch youtube the webpage loads but no vidoes will work. I have the same issue with my Trading212 website, it loads up but will not log me in or anything. I have never had any issues with mozilla before but now everytime i switch my pc off anf try to use Mozilla it just does not work. To get it to work i have to start the uninstaller for mozilla and go through the reload/refresh process which does work in allowing me to watch youtube vidoes and sign into my trading account but it seems super unesscary that i hav e to do this every time i want to go online, I really like Mozilla but if this continues I unfortunately will have to find another browser.

Не знаю по какой причине, возможно какой-то баг или ещё чего, но у меня пропали все вкладки, даже те, которые были сгруппированы. Возможности восстановления предыдущего сеанса у меня нет.

I've used the community here and I get 4 year old answers, some of which do not fir the current settings lists, those do not help. I have tried everything and the only thing that works is to force the new tab by right clicking and forcing open in new tab.

Hi, I have the settings of 'General > Startup > [checked] Open previous windows and tabs' on. Most of the time it works as expected, but there are several occurrences when all of the sudden all of my pinned tabs are gone. When this happened, I usually tried the 'Command + Shift + T' to restore them. Sometimes they came back, some other times, they don't.

Can you fix it?

It's starting to get really irritating because I can have >12 tabs pinned and it's troublesome to have to remember them all in case this happens again in the future.

Thanks!

Now that my browser is Firefox I cannot get to my email or anything else on my computer. What must I do??? At one point I was signing in to Mozilla Firefox and it said that account already exists. This is very frustrating for an older geriatric. Please send me instructions to get back where I was. My present email address is [edited from public] @gmail.com.
