Firefox added a new feature called 'tab group' that I love. Since I have many tabs, now I can group them in a 'tab group' and give it a name so I have fewer tabs and less clutter and can open a 'tab group' to display all its tabs. Kind of a file manager with folders and files but for browser and its tabs. The question is, how do I sync all tabs and tab groups in Firefox browser in all my devices so I can work seamlessly? One device is Windows 10 Pro,, another is Windows 11 Pro and the third is my iPhone with Firefox app. I would really appreciate some guidance.

Up until recently, my default search engine was Google. I recently switched it to DuckDuckGo.

I regularly use Ctrl+k (hereinafter ctrlk) to popup the window to enter a URL to create a link in whatever web app I am using (Microsoft Office 365 apps, Reddit, Quora, etc.)

Suddenly, in when I used ctrlk to enter a URL for a title I highlighted in an email, the cursor bounced up to the Address Bar and selected it. I've tested it, and ctrlk works to open the URL window when I switch back to Google as my search engine--except when I am logged into my Mozilla account--ctrlk brings up the URL window.

Is there any way to turn off the ctrlk/Address Bar shortcut? As part of my job, I write job aids and emails that have lots of links embedded in them so, for me, this is an accessibility issue as it take fewer keystrokes to activate the URL window using the this shortcut, and just a single roll of my trackball to get from wherever I am on a page to the Address Bar the few times I may i need it while writing. (Between having nine functional fingers and severe arthritis in my hands, I am not exaggerating my use of the word "accessibility".)

Thanks for any assistance I can get on this!

Hello, I realized today that when I want to search in Firefox mobile on Google something and want to add something, that it's impossible especially if your last search contained only one word. If it contains more as one it will erase the space and merge the words. I usually use opera on mobile so I never had this problem, but sometimes do I use also Firefox and now did I saw this problem. I attached a video to this post (it won't be there forever, but I will try to let it there for a while).

The video shows when you searched for "Jeans" and want to expand it to "Jeans red" the word Jeans is erased, just gone, no editing possible. The end of the video shows,when you have multiple words like "skinny jeans in red" and you want to edit it or add something, the "in red" gets merged to "inred".

There is some strange behavior happening. My active extensions:

  1. Dark reader
  2. Ublock Origin
  3. Auto scroll to top/bottom


Video: Google drive link with video


OOT: Btw: I dislike that you can't hold your finger here on a word to select it, I wanted to select my text to check my English through my translator. The editor doesn't allow Text selection by touch :( that is not nice. (Lol.... I could double tap the "oot" to select it and make it in caps,but now I can't do it again 🙃 very strange editor here!)

After my laptop BSOD, I had to re-install windows 11 while backing up all the previous settings and apps. I used "Free Download Manager(FDM)" as my default downloader of movies from websites that generated Magnet links. On clicking the magnet link the FDM is not opening by default, no action is seen. I've tried many options including the Support Centre of FDM from where I was advised to visit my browser support. I have used Firefox for 14 years, let me know where I'm wrong.

I wanted to create two profiles to separate my work and personal contacts. For security reasons, I also wanted to set up one account as the secondary email address for the other (I only have these two email addresses). Account A is a Gmail account and Account B is an enterprise domain account. Account B had the Gmail account as the 'secondary email'. However, when I try to access the Account A profile, I receive a red square message saying 'Primary account email required for sign-in' after entering the password. Perhaps I did something wrong, but... How can I access my Account A profile? Account B no longer has a secondary email address to prevent further problems.

Hello Mozilla Community, Every time I want to log in to Samsung.com and eu.community.samsung.com/t5/deutsch/ct-p/de, I have to re-enter my email address. The password is suggested. I'm not asked if I want to save my login credentials, but I'm asked for it on all other websites. I prefer Firefox to EDGE (it's suggested in EDGE). It's like this on Windows 10 and on my other computer with Windows 11 (both 64-bit and both up to date). What do I have to do so that Firefox also suggests the email address on these sites (asking whether it should be saved)? And I use a translation program from German to English. Again, thank you in advance for your reply.

I have downloaded Duolingo on my Windows 11 laptop. When I try to run it, it says that it can not open it because it can't find Microsoft Edge. This is the latest version of the app. I can't find anywhere to change the Duolingo default browser. I have Firefox set as MY default browser in windows settings. I also have AVG Secure Browser installed on my laptop but seldom use it. I donot have MS Edge installed on any of my computers. Can anyone help me find a solution to this problem? What other information do you need?

I suspect I am PH#€%ed. Am I eligible for a miracle?

S10+ 139.0.4 NOT set up to sync | see attached for specs

In the bookmarks toolbar, I have many folders. I had one named Reference and one named Research. A few weeks ago after a big update my bookmarks had somehow nested multiple copies nested weirdly.

I messaged for help through the Garg app store, and a developer said to please file a ticket with support. I MEANT to do it, but time got away, and I'd already cut the sync and done a lot of cleanup.

I'd removed this phone from sync (no SIM, no cellular connection for the last year, but I use it on Wifi—I carry it around a lot for note-taking when I get brain dumps from people).

I discovered two Reference folders— one in the Toolbar and one in Bookmarks. I moved the one in Bookmarks to the Toolbar, and then moved everything in it into the other Reference folder, which had more, figuring I'd go through and delete the dupes at some point.

I then deleted the empty Reference folder and got the question, "Are you sure you want to delete the selected items [you IDtenT]?"

I confidently clicked yes, not realising my stupid fat finger had clicked on the RESEARCH folder to delete.

I may be able to find some of it to sync or sneaker net from elsewhere but there were swathes of unique addresses in that damn folder. I tried to search bookmarks for the folder and then for any folder. I tried to search "Internal Storage" for any whisper, and Apps which I hardly have any read access to in the file tree without success.

I read the readme called Manage Bookmark Folders in Firefox, plus a couple of hours of additional readme reading and flailing... but I cannot find the answer to a short list of pertinent questions.

1. How does one search/find a bookmark FOLDER, a regular one, which some ahole hasn't deleted?

2. Don't the help articles mention an UNDO option when deleting individual tabs and bookmarks? Sorry, bit of a swivet, but is there an undo for folders? I found no such offering mentioned when deleting an entire folder. I'm assuming no, but... (this might be a good place to mention (while I'm headbanging my desk) that some *other* browsers contain a numeric in their deletion warning, rather than a ubiquitous "these items", whether it's an empty folder or full), hope will spring. Biat£#.

3. Third and final— is there any way for someone without access to costly forensic software to recover this data?

A lifetime of backup, backup, redundant backups is mocking me, so please don't laugh at my self-induced misery. If there's no remedy, give it to me straight.

TIA, Alex

After last upgrade, I restored an earlier profile to RESTORE my bookmarks and passwords.

I set my old profile as DEFAULT.

YET NOW, I have the highly annoying problem that when I open a link from my email, it opens in the profile-release new version.... I then again do not have access to passwords and bookmarks.

Mozilla Firefox should address these issues, rather than have MILLIONS of people individually trying to fix the problems that the latest release caused.

I'm afraid to close my browser windows or even restart PC like I often do; I'm afraid I'll have to waste another 6 hours (like yesterday) trying to restore the profile, bookmarks and passwords.

For the last 2ish months, Firefox will refresh the page if I just place my finger on the screen.

If I put my finger on the screen (not swiping down) the refresh wheel will pop up and refresh the page.

It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once or twice a day, but it happens on every page and causes me to lose stuff like where I was on a page and what I was typing. It doesn't do it when the keyboard is up.

Any suggestion as to what's wrong with it?
