Firefox Community Forum

Having seen 2 versions of Firefox on my computer,i tried to delete one version and unfortunately both have gone. is it possible to recover the old version with bookmarks and passwords?

I genuinely don’t know where else to post this so it gets seen. I have been a devout user of Firefox for years. I love this browser. I love its dedication to privacy and functionality. I love how it has kept true to its concept and customers in the face of tech crazes like NFTs and AI integrations. I am such a hardcore proseletyzer of Firefox that I started paying for Mozilla VPN to support Firefox!!

So when I see that the new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, is “doubling down” on AI integrations for Firefox, I AM LIVID. AI is NOT private. AI is NOT secure. And AI is TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

AI causes slower speed and longer load times. I have seen this in all my job’s internet workings (they insist on using browsers with AI integrations) and have felt a quiet relief that I get to come home to my good, simple browser.

AI is not private. It tracks and stores data in order to give suggestions “better for you”. And with the right prompts, anyone can pull that data.

Y’all really all read that one story of AI deleting the company’s ENTIRE DATABASE AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING because it “panicked” and decided “ah yes, this is the techware we want to hand over all our customers to”??

I am so deeply disappointed by Mozilla’s betrayal of its customer base.

If Mozilla moves forward with AI integrations, I will pull out of using Firefox and I will stop giving Mozilla my money. Mozilla should not have hired a CEO who goes so adamantly against everything Mozilla as a company stands for.

And to the CEO Anthony: I hope you step in something wet in only your socks, every single day, until you either come to your senses or someone better replaces you as CEO of Mozilla.

OS: Linux Recently, firefox has been annoying me with not closing a tab when I click the X like normal. I have to right click and close it, or press ctrl w. I am unable to move tabs around, as well. I am not sure since when this next bit has been happening, but I am also unable to interact with many elements of the top bar. The only thing of the firefox ui besides the websites themselves that let me interact with them at the moment is the home button, the new tab button, bookmarked sites, and that box icon on the left corner that lets you look at previously closed tabs. My Firefox's version should around, I believe it is 140.5.0 ESR. Thank you in advance. Update: Upon a restart of firefox, it appears to be working again as normal.. However, the bit with tabs not closing when the X is clicked and not being able to move tabs around has been happening multiple previous times, and it may come back. Update again: The issue does come back after some usage. I'm using KDE plasma with Wayland. I will try what the answer asked, and come back later. Update: This seems to happen very randomly and is not reproducible for me.. It will go a few days being fine, then randomly freeze again. Has not happened under another user, at least not yet.

EVERY SINGLE TIME FIREFOX UPDATES THEY OPEN A NEW TAB AND ADVERTISE FEATURES AND GARBAGE I DO NOT CARE ABOUT.

DESPITE EVERY SETTING IMAGINABLE, IT STILL DOES IT. EVERY TIME.

WHY? WHY DO YOU NOT RESPECT YOUR USER'S REQUESTS AND CONTINUE TO DO THIS?

WE ALL REMEMBER THE TIME YOU SHOVED ADVERTISEMENTS INTO IT.

I"D RATHER PAY FOR FIREFOX THAN HAVE THIS RIDICULOUS GARBAGE HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE THE APPLICATION.

MAKE A SETTING FOR THIS OR SOMETHING THAT YOU WON'T JUST IGNORE OR OVERRIDE THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO SPAM YOUR ENTIRE USER BASE

Since update to latest version of Firefox, I cannot access content on Facebook. All I get after long wait is the blank screen with the Facebook logo in the middle and Meta logo at the bottom. No problem before update. Other sites seem OK but take much longer to load. I can get Facebook with MS Edge. I'm using Windows 10 on PC.

Здравствуйте, наверное в последнем месяце у меня начались проблемы с FireFox, вот одна из них. Я нажимаю на создать новую вкладку и у меня просто белый экран, а так же есть вторая, но у меня нету скринов и описать её я смогу расплывчато: иногда смотря видео FireFox весь становится черным, а кнопки свернуть на весь экран и закрыть принимают вид как в Windows 7. Как мне это решить? FireFox мой любимый браузер и я бы хотел работать с ним в комфорте

I'm on the local network. When I use Firefox to download a very small .docx file, the download gets stuck and doesn't move, taking a while to complete. But with Edge, it downloads almost instantly. Please help resolve this issue.

I am not aware of having adblock. I have looked in settings and don't see it on but Angels Gifts won't let me collect my game pieces because it says it detects adblock. I looked in extensions and don't see it. what should I do?

When I want to search something I usually open a new tab (Ctr+T) then quickly hit Tab so my typing indicator goes from the Address Bar to the Search Bar, but with a recent update there is now a "Search Selection" part that is in the way so I have to hit Tab twice.

I know this seems petty but I have been the simplest happiest minimalist user for the past 25 years and I've never had issues with Ctr+T followed by Tab to search something. Why did you implement a change that I am sure nobody has ever asked? Please revert it back or explain to my fatigued mind how to do it if it is possible.

I have just upgraded to version 145 and the title bar has disappeared Even though I have the Title Bar option checked in the customize firefox panel. If I uncheck the title bar option and then check the title bar option, the title bar will appear, but when I close firefox and then restart firefox the title bar is gone.

For the last few weeks I have been unable to save new bookmarks into the folder of my choice. Instead I can only save new bookmarks into the last folder I created. I cannot navigate to a different pre-existing folder. This problem only occurs when using Firefox on my Android cell phone, but not on my PC. However, I can still view and use all of my previous folders and bookmarks when wishing to open a new website, per usual. Thank you

I am so disappointed in the new ceos recent comments about doubling down on AI. I do not want AI. I do not want it forced down my throat. The whole point of Firefox is that it is less enshittified than other browsers and continuing down this path will make it just as shitty as everything else on the internet that doesn’t work any more. It’s bad enough that I have to find the settings to opt out of this shit every time there’s a new update that makes everything worse. I have been a happy Firefox user for many years but I will have to use another browser if AI gets imbedded into it any further than it has already. So angry and disappointed.
