I clicked on auto restore previous session about six months ago. The session I had open that day of about 20 (now completely irrelevant) tabs opens every time I open my browser. I have to close them all to start a new work day.

I found a work- around. If I go to History and clicking on Restore Previous Session within the History setting yhis took me to my last session. Now the browser is starting to add additional tabs I had open during that previous day. This is a nightmare - I never have a clear browser. How to stop this? I use my History. I don't want to delete History and clear all of the cache and the browser memory. I have put in a request for help before 2-3 months ago. That was the only suggestion. Some idiot invented this option. The same idiot needs to work out how to fix this bug. (apologies to the volunteers who read this - I appreciate your thoughts).

Hi,

Please guide me. Dailymotion stream not running on Firefox but works on Chrome. I uninstall firefox and reinstall it fresh but problem still exist. The player play for like 2 seconds and then screen turn blank. I am using Windows 11 and using latest firefox version. Thank You

Up until a few days ago, whenever I opened Firefox a right-side sidebar would open with the bookmark directory - including all bookmark folders visible at all times. Now I can't find how to do that. Instead there is this awful hover feature that has a VERY clunky and time consuming way to find an individual bookmark. How to change back to the prior method? Can I revert to the prior version of Firefox? Thank you!

Firefox doesn’t spell‑check in Copilot because Copilot uses a modern custom text editor that Firefox doesn’t recognize as a normal typing area. Since Firefox never turns its spell‑checker on in this kind of editor, nothing actually fails, so there’s no error code or message. The spell‑checker engine simply never activates. For this to work, Firefox would need to update its spell‑checker so it can handle newer web‑based editors instead of only traditional text boxes.

why not

This is a request to update Firefox to fix a Geckodriver issue. Been using Selenium Basic inside Excel VBA which successfully Opens "firefox" but then fails to Get "https://jackpocket.com/lottery-results/arizona" ending instead with a '21' timeout error in the debugger. I have already carefully checked my Selenium Basic and Geckodriver installation, which are correct. So I think there is a code incompatibility between the two. I am trying to scrape the latest JavaScript rendered Next Jackpot numbers there into open Excel. The website URL is public information. The firefox version in use is 149.0.2 and the geckodriver.exe in use is 0.36.0 on a windows 11 laptop.

A power surge took out my computer during a Windows up date, I could not recover anything, so did a fresh install of Windows........now, I can't get Firefox to bring over my bookmarks. I am so upset and lost right now, I'm sure I'm just missing something to do. Please help.

Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

I just lost ALL my open tabs AGAIN!!! This's the 3rd time !!!!! Restore previous tabs IS NOT IN THE Menu > History AGAIN per Mozilla's method!! Frankly, I'm tired & overwrought this keeps happening WHEN IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO!!

Now what cor-el?? I certainly hope you've a corrective answer. dCβ (;>{

The Cache is never cleared after clearing, there are always about 9,3 MB left. According to my settings there should be 0 MB left. (When I check the Task Manager, Firefox ist always opened up to 10 times.) How can I make sure the Cache is completely cleared? I added Screenshots of both. Thnx for helping...

A couple of days ago I noticed that Firefox had started using "Profiles". I do not want a profile. When I wanted to open firefox a window popped up asking me to pick a profile. I deleted my account. Now Firefox will not let me use it because I don't have a "Profile". If I cannot use firefox without a profile, which I never had to do for umpteen years, then I well switch to Chrome.

Why, for some reason, has Mozilla recently started treating incognito tabs as the default search engine? When I closed the main browser, left the incognito window open, and restarted it, all my open and grouped tabs (over 300) were deleted, and when I closed the incognito window, it asked me if I wanted to close all tabs as if I had any way to reopen them. This is the first time I’ve encountered this, because it wasn’t like that before. Why does Incognito behave like a regular tab, and why does this affect the main tabs, which aren’t and shouldn’t be linked to Incognito?

Firefox OFTEN starts with a screen which reads, Sorry we are unable to restore previous sessions. OF COURSE it cannot restore previous sessions. I leave the box unchecked next to, "Open previous windows and tabs. I check the setting, delete all data on closing. I take great pains to delete data including cookies, website settings, etc, on closing, EVERY session. I NEVER want previous tabs, windows or sessions restored. HOW do I program FF to REMEMBER the setting, box unchecked next to "Open previous windows and tabs"

I was browsing for vacant jobs in LinkedIn and ended up on this page: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4400116024/?trackingId=&refId=&midToken=AQHkKqfITpiwdw&midSig=2f8JsuceFtMYc1&trk=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job&trkEmail=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job-null-g3nlj~mo2hn6z8~of-null-null&eid=g3nlj-mo2hn6z8-of&otpToken=MTAwMjFlZTQxNjJhYzljM2JlMmYwMmVkNDAxYWU3YjA4NmNiZDQ0MzlkYWQ4NTZjNzljMTAxNjg0ZjU4NWZmM2YzZGZiN2JjNTVjNWZjZTc3YjhmZDg3ZWQ5YTExZWUyMDg1N2Q1YzI4OGNjNDU0MjU3YTEsMSwx But pressing the Apply button, did not take me to the application page, but instead a page that was saying: "Be careful. Something doesn’t look right. Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with jobs.tuvsud.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails." And there was no option to ignore this and just go to the site??? I needed to open MS Edge instead, to be able to apply for the job???

'SINCE WINDOWS 10 DID A RECENT UPODATE TO WINDOWS 10 SECURITY UPDATE MY FIREFOX SEARCH BAR GOES BACK TO A CLEAR SEARCH BAR FROM A DARK SCREEN text'

Hello I am 99% Mozzila user. But today, and it started from early in the morning, I cannot download a page or file like from my Yahoo email. Or if I go to a page to pay my bill I cannot download a page that I paid medical bill for instance. Downloads that ususaly take a second to appear in a new tab, or open in adobe are still downloading from like 7hrs ago. I cannot ev en stop downloading. I click on x's but it does not stop it. Also, I cannot print anything from Mozzila. It attempts to switch to print preview, a page appear just for fraction of a second and there is a circle of lines turning around for ever, but it never shows up to print. I was/am able to print something earlier and download, but it laggs now and nothing helps. I shut Mozzila, I restarted my laptop countless times, but it does not work. It does work on Google and I can print a word file or from Google
