Firefox Community Forum

Why isn't there a simple means to remove/prevent searches for the address bar, using config doesn't work.

I've used Firefox for over twenty years, this annoyance will end that and force a move to Brave.

firefox suddenly stopped showing any history or book marks. also no history. i've re downloaded, no change. all works well with chrome but i like firefox. and thoughts?

I rebooted my laptop to find that Firefox removed all of my data. I looked up for ways to fix this and then arrived at the conclusion that I could create a profile and set the folder to one of the profiles that weren't listed on Firefox. It seemed to save my history correctly and my saved downloads, but they all said that they were moved or missing. I checked the passwords and instead of the long list of passwords that I normally have, there were only a couple, and the passwords were also sometimes outdated. I cannot recover some of these passwords. I've tried checking the passwords in the other profiles that were listed in the profiles and nothing shows up. None of the cookies were saved either

Background is a little complex. We have been running Win 10 under the ESU, My wife had her box unintentionally do a Win 11 update. She then started a backup which then looked like it would take days, so she aborted it after a while and ran the procedure to revert to Win 10, which then completed successfully. I think she then rebooted and opened Firefox and all her prior windows were there and working, After a while they got slower and slower, so she closed Firefox, might have rebooted and restarted Firefox. She now has 37 windows that are all completely blank. There is a New Tab tab and now URL in any window,

Is there any way that would likely recover all those open windows? Or, at least the URLs of all the tabs?

I have discovered Major problem with Firefox which affects the use of my btinternet.com email account . Since the recent update I am no longer able to add the contact name to a new email which I wish to compose automatically from my contacts (I am required to type it in full. I can still do it, with the shortcut of typing in the first 3 letters, when using other browsers such as Google or Edge or the Outlook muti mail account service but generally prefer Firefox. If this situation prevails I will ditch Firefox as speed of communication and addressing is of the essence to me. Are Firefox aware and are they correcting things?

Could any settings have been altered by the update - which contribute to my problem?

a few days ago I received a message that i had an upgrade from Firefox. After that I can't find the bookmarks I had saved for paying bills as well as other important items.

Hello, I just completed a wipe of my whole device, beforehand I obviously signed up and synced up my Firefox account to keep my boomarks and data. After reinstalling Firefox I managed to sign in, sync up and get my bookmarks back - great. However after reopening of the app they were gone again and when checking back-ups the only available one was from after the "automatic wipe". I quickly checked my mobile Firefox app as well - it still showed a bigger of number of bookmarks so I had hoped they stayed at least there but after entering the folder they appeared empty and then gone completely after re-entering. Please if possible assist, it seems like Firefox decided to overwrite this data so maybe it's still somehow recoverable as these bookmarks have been collected over the years. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I can't save and download a modified PDF file.

To put it simple: I open a PDF file on Firefox; Rotate it clockwise; Open the Tools menu (»); Click Save; The saving window opens; I save the file; When I open it, the file is as at start, before rotating.

Windows 11 25H2 26200.7623, Firefox 147.0 Thank you for helping.

Whenever a Firefox extension connects to a particular native application for the first time, a dialog opens that looks like the attached.

I've pressed "cancel" on this prompt.

Where are the "privacy settings" I can use to revert this ? Nothing in the "Privacy & Security" section looks like it, and there's nothing in the "about:extensions" sections either.

I'm trying to fill out a magazine subscription form that uses reCAPTCHA but the reCAPTCHA does not show in the form using Firefox but does in Chrome. I've seen similar issues and tried to solve it by clearing the catch and disabling extensions but nothing helps.

Just downloaded "Hide Google AI Overviews" which is grayed out. in addition, Browsing Safety by Safety is asking for permissions. My question is simple, do I allow the Browsing Safety Etc. permissions and that will allow the Hide Google Etc to run. In addition do I compromise my security by giving Google those permissions?

Thanks

I am unable to open my profile on Firefox. I am using desktop and windows 11. I am typing this question on DuckDuckGo browser because I was unable to go in. It will not let me search, open new tabs, refuse to open new tabs and even to click on settings. I also tried to delete it in an attempt to log in again but it won't even let me delete it. The image I shared is all I see. No bookmarks, shortcuts, ways to do settings and other things. Thank you!

In about:logins, passwords on the left side have a hover effect, but the click only works if you click the inner part, clicking the outer part doesn't select the password. This gave me dementia from so many failed clicks.

See screenshot, clicking inside the red = fine, outside = no work

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps of uninstalling, reinstalling and backing up my profile but on every machine after one session or one time instance and if I have to close Firefox or restart my workstation, I can no longer launch Firefox. It leads me to believe there is some kind of profile issue or corruption with my account but for months I've been battling this issue and can not resolve it. I do remember getting some Firefox window showing the Profile option or Create Profile and I believe nothing was selected. I proceeded to select the Profile on the left and it seems after that is when all the problems started to occur. If anyone has experienced this or can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.

I find that when I reopen Firefox, many of the tabs in a group are duplicated, appearing both inside and out of the tab group. Is there a fix for this or something I can do? I'm on Firefox 147, on Windows 11. Thanks.

In `about:config` I set `mousewheel.with_control.action: 3` quite a while ago, and today, after an update it stopped working. Current version: `146.0.1 (aarch64)`. Any idea why?
