Firefox Community Forum

I was using the weather, clock and image of the day widgets. Yesterday they were on my start and now they are missing. When I look under settings and home, widgets are not listed. How can I get them back?

Why did you remove my Google Email and passwords? Fire fox lost my passwords Google email and other stuff. I may have 1000 or more emails that I can not read!!!!!!!

I have picture-in-picture disabled, but when I play a video in one tab and switch to any other tab, it will popup in the corner anyway. Closing out of it pauses the video, and when I then start the video again and try to go back to the other tab it pops up again. This is very annoying when I am just trying to listen to a video in the background and can't stop it from covering part of my screen when I am trying to something in another tab.

Is there anything else I need to disable to prevent this? I don't understand why I'm still seeing picture-in-picture when I have "Use Picture-in-Picture" checked off.

I opened firefox this morning on my laptop and it froze and shut down. When I opened firefox again it opened as a new window and all of my tabs and tab groups were gone. They do not show up in my history or recently closed tabs. Previous session is shown as current session so no option to restore.

Is there any other way to get these back?

Hi everyone! I have a couple issues that I'm encountering for an otherwise solid experience.

1. Scrolling with my touchpad or touchscreen on my laptop is choppy with Firefex while being smooth as butter using Edge and Chrome. It's on a specific website with a ton of pictures - Slickdeals.net. No problems with all other websites. The issue is w or w/o hardware acceleration.

2. I thought I found something great with Firefox's option to disregard a site's native font...so that my chosen option will override every site. Instead, it's showing up on only a handful of sites I use. More confounding is the fact that changing font size is not taking effect...when I choose 'reader view' those options work perfectly but going into the main settings just won't act accordingly. I'm also on the Microsoft forum talking about help with a virus but I'd like to know if anyone else is struggling with this...thanks!

i have saved initial searches i did in firefox as bookmarks in the bar under the search bar. i have now setup a seaparate bookmark folder to save these website bookmarked links into. if i reopen each of the initial bookmarks and save the link using the blue star process into the new bookmark folder i created, will that link become permanent? and can i then delete the initial links that sit on my firefox under the address bar and the newly saved links in the new bookmarks folder be still available?

thankyou for your help in advance. I tried AI and wasted quite a bit of my time trying to get correct answers.

I have two issues: One is figuring out how to remove what FF is storing on my device (an android phone). Clearing the cache does not do it. When I go to the menu, then privacy and security, which on my device is a title of a section, there is no cookie removal option. It is cookies and site data which is kind of annoying. I don't want ALL cookies deleted. I don't want signed out of all sites. I just want the 700 some odd MB's that FF is storing on my device gone. I would like to see what is being stored, and delete what is not necessary or useful. Does anyone know how to do that?

My second issue is that each time I update ff, all of my extensions, bookmarks and passwords disappear and I would like that to stop happening. I would like to know how to recover them. It is time consuming and frustrating to have to redo all of that each time I update ff, and some of it inevitably gets lost.

Thank you for any useful suggestions.

I open firefox. Homepage is there. I open a new page. A new screen appears which completely obliterates the former screen. As if I had just opened the internet. With the next page I go to, it is the same. Previous screens masked. And so on, and so on. Instead of separate tabs appearing at the top of the initial page

eg https://transportnsw.info/opal-view/#/account/cards is meant to show down arrow next to name - does not appear; go to Profile, Edit address - 'Save as delivery address' checkbox and Submit button do not work. Also had this on the StGeorge bank page https://www.ui.stgeorge.com.au/resolve/etb0/createCustComplaint - Next button does not work. other sites as well have buttons not working (about 20% of sites?) (Sorry both the above examples need accounts to test). Often (not always) if I open the page with Chrome it works. I think they were working ok after macOS update but after a Firefox update went to a very light screen - problem started then.

Also - using about:support the copy raw data button works; the copy text button does not.

Thanks
