Firefox Community Forum

After the latest auto update all of my history, tabs/windows, and bookmarks were deleted and I can't recover them. I have tried importing bookmarks and it does not allow me to upload an old data file and I can't restore my previous session. I tried checking both profiles but neither had my information saved and now when I open the about:profiles says "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles. You must restart Firefox before making more changes."

I'm scared to try anything else because I don't want to mess anything up further but I really need my tabs and history back.

I restarted my computer and then reopened firefox and it had updated and I noticed my bookmarks were gone but my windows/tabs were open, so I tried to choose a file on the bookmark backup and nothing was happening so I restarted and after that all my history and tabs were gone and I couldn't restore them.

I am trying to activate the new free VPN feature, however your steps are not matching what's on my screen.

The first step from your [Set up VPN] article says:

"Look for the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of your Firefox toolbar.

   Click Next to begin the setup process. "

Yet I am not receiving this prompt.

I have logged into my account, encountered issues with my authenticator app and back up keys not being saved, and so signed up with a new mozilla account using my secondary google email. (This account I am raising this ticket with now. My primary account/email is [edited email from public] @gmail.com).

Hoping you can clarify or give an easy route into activating this wonderful new service you've announced. Am I right in understanding that it is different (ie. built-in and free?) to your Paid Service ?

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

As of a few days ago (mid-October 2025), when I'm on an eBay listing page, nothing I click on works. I can navigate to my watchlist, selling pages, etc, so it seems like it's just the listing pages. When I'm on a listing page, if I click on the heart to "watch" an item, nothing happens. If I click on thumbnails in the photos to try and view other images than the main one, nothing happens. The buttons on the right for "Add to Cart", "Buy it Now", etc also do not function. I think it's been about 3 or 4 days since this problem started. I opened a listing page in Chrome and it worked as usual, all the buttons seemed functional.

My browser has been acting off lately, it takes a longer amount of time than usual to even open gmail. Sometimes, it just fails to connect to a server and keeps loading forever and just stops (including gmail).

I have an odd question ... may or may not be a firefox question. When I am not on my main facebook page (facebook.com ... homepage or feed), I can not scroll. After a few posts, I get an error. The facebook app works on my phone app so I am guessing it is something between firefox and my windows 10 desktop computer.

I restarted several times .... checked for updates ....

My personal page will scroll ... and I can scroll reels

It is almost as if the cache gets full or something like that and will not let more than 3 or 4 posts download.

It had been working fine for years .... just stopped yesterday.

Any suggestions?

Pbold textage does not scroll. It doesn't even show the scroll bar

This is where you describe the issue in detail.

Explain what’s happening (e.g., “Videos keep freezing after 10 seconds”).

Mention when it started and what you already tried.

Include your Firefox version (you can find it under Menu → Help → About Firefox).

Bonjour en voulant aller sur un site connu et auxquels je vais j'ai eut ce message je n'ai rien modifié sur mon ordi d’où cela viens t-il et surtout comment y remédier. Merci "Pourquoi ce blocage ? Quelque chose dans le comportement du navigateur nous a intrigué.

Diverses possibilités:

   vous surfez et cliquez à une vitesse surhumaine
   quelque chose bloque le fonctionnement de javascript sur votre ordinateur

To sign into Chatgbt I used my google account. Mozilla asks me "do I want to store info in persistent storage?" I click "learn more" about persistent storage. It takes me to a page that has zero mention of the words "persistent storage". That is a huge UX error. It says to me that really, you don't want me to know about persistent storage, and prefer that I remain confused and feel forced to agree to things I may not really want to, because you're making it difficult to understand what's actually involved. Not cool. Definitely now considering changing my browser after over 20 years.
