It's becoming very annoying when I open up my Firefox browser only to open a page and there's BING sitting in the upper left part of the screen. I got away from EDGE because of its invading characteristics. I have checked to make sure my default browser is Firefox. And it is. So how do I get rid of them?

Appreciate any comments.

Thanks. Scott

Whenever you go to close a folder from the bookmark menu in the browser sidebar, having scrolled down due to a long list, the menu will not only close the folder but also make you click whatever was in that mouse position on the menu with the menu closed. This means closing a folder having scrolled down will cause you to potentially click open another folder or bookmark unintentionally. This is not an issue on the old bookmark menu, but using that isn't as convenient as the sidebar is.

4 lines of recent activity all changed and the more commonly used ones are gone???? yet others are there that ive used once. WHY? i didnt delete cookies or anything similar

Tried Old Firefox Data and I don't think it's there. I don't see it in about:profiles. I used it yesterday and windows seemed to refresh overnight. When I opened firefox this morning, an old profile came up (as it does sometimes). Usually when this happens, two profiles open and I just close the old one that I don't use. But this time only the old one opened. PLEASE HELP!!!

I want to achieve windowed functionality of Firefox's F11 fullscreen mode, where there's no window borders nor tab/url bar, which pops in on hover. Having every pixel actually be web space is just preferable to me. This used to be possible in old Firefox versions simply by resizing a fullscreened FF window using a resizer extension or window manager (such as seen here, with version 55.0.3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1klHdUHiKtLVITmrQnul8O1zF32l-Uz6c/view). At some point, something must have changed in FF's fullscreen API because it no longer responds to any of this.

I'm willing to pay anyone savvy enough to come up with a solution. Ideally by figuring out how to again be able to simply resize F11 windows. Note: "full-screen-api.ignore-widgets" isn't cutting it, there will still be a window border and the tab/url bar won't automatically pop up.

Cheers.

I lost all bookmarks overnight and the Bookmarks tab is completely empty. I have located the latest JSONL24 backup file and tried to import it via the Firefox General Tab setting; however, the file does not show up in the Import Browser Data route. In fact, the C: directory as seen through this window is quite different from the actual C: directory. What am I doing wrong? Are there any other way to restore the bookmarks using the JSONL24 file?

I need to use Firefox to login to Jpay.com because the company that manages the video visits for this site, Securus has stopped working on my other browsers.

I can enter my username and password on Chrome and Edge, and get logged in. But the video visit will no longer work from those browsers. I have removed Firefox and reinstalled it to be sure I have the latest version. When I enter my username and password for Jpay.com from Firefox, it does nothing. I am stuck on the login screen. I have looked at extensions and settings, but not sure what could be blocking me from logging in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I use Firefox as my default browser, and I like it very much.

Problem: I received an outlook email with a link to a Docusign envelope. The link would not connect with Docusign.

Work Around: When I used another browser, Microsoft Edge, the link opened up right away.

Additional Information: I use another digital signature program, Dotloop, and it works without any issues on Firefox.

Question: What can I do to make sure that Docusign works properly on Firefox?

Thank you!

Hi Lovely Firefox Developers, Help articles say that "The translation feature ... has been available for all users since Firefox version 118.", but I can't see it and I'm on v147. I don't want to install the add-on as the articles say it's obsolete, but I can't see any other way to get it. Am I missing something? Tim

WhatsApp works with Mozilla

Firefox 115+

To use WhatsApp, update Firefox or use Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge or Opera.

UPDATE MOZILLA FIREFOX

Sync is corrupting my bookmarks.

This is affecting Firefox on multiple Windows computers, and multiple Apple devices (phone and tablets).

Only partial data is available. The bookmark “tree” structure is complete, but the bookmarks are only partially populated (only about 15%, and it appears these are newer items).

I did not change/edit any bookmarks or Firefox settings. This did not occur after a Firefox or OS update (it has simultaneously affected Windows 11, Windows 10, iOS 26.2.1, and iPadOS 26.2.1 devices, Firefox 147.0.2 on the PCs, iOS 147.2.1).

One one computer I momentarily saw all the bookmarks (machine version) disappear as Firefox synced the corrupted version to that computer.

I know I can restore the bookmarks (at least temporarily, until Sync may re-corrupt them). What is causing sync to change MY information?

Guten Tag, Ich nutze 4-5 Fenster, je nach Anwendungsumfeld, dauerhaft. Die Fenster beeinhalten meistens die jeweiligen Log-Ins in den einzelnen Tabs. Aus irgendwelchen Gründen sind alle meine eingerichteten Fenster verschwunden. ich habe versucht, über die Wiederherstellung der letzten 7 Tage meinen bekannten Stand wiederherzustellen. Da wurden mir ca. 750 Tabs angeboten. Der Versuch meine Fenster/Tabs zu finden war schier unmöglich. Also habe ich versucht alle! wiederherzustellen um manuell den Stand meiner Fenster zu rekonstruieren. Hat nicht bzw nur teilweise funktioniert. Können sie mir helfen meine Fenster mit den entsprechenden Tabs von vor 3-4 Tagen wiederherzustellen?

Vielen Dank

Since a while, I think it is since I created an extra testprofile with "firefox-esr -P", but I've set my main profile as default again

When opening a link in another program than firefox I get always: a popup "Close Firefox" "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

I do have both firefox and firefox esr, I usually use regular firefox the second came with the debian 13 repository.

I keep the esr to test display issues for reproducibility on my personal desktop, because I manage debian 13 kiosk-style desktops with firefox-esr.

(I noticed also that the regular firefox profiles can not be opened in firefox esr, so I use an extra profile for esr)

So I have two Google accounts, let's call them Antelope and Bear. Antelope is my "main" account, but I use Bear for a lot of things too, which includes Gemini. So, if I want to use the Gemini chatbot option on Firefox's sidebar, it would make the most sense to use it under my Bear account, since that way I can access my previous chats and all that. However, when I open the Gemini chatbot, it automatically logs me in as Antelope. And when I click on the account's profile picture to swap to Bear, it instead opens the Gemini site on a new tab, in which I am indeed logged in as Bear, but the sidebar remains stuck on the Antelope account. I've tried the "reload Gemini" option, restarting Firefox, and clearing the cache, but nothing works. I think I could fix it by logging out of both accounts, then logging in only as Bear, letting the sidebar "grab" that account, and then logging in as Antelope, but I wanted to know if there's an easier/cleaner way to go about it. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I just upgraded to the latest FF version 147.0.2 64-bit and now the video's on Facebook stop playing when I change to another window. As soon as the FB windows is not selected (in focus) they stop. Going back to the FB window, the video can be restarted.

Can you please investigate/fix this? Thanks!!!

Yesterday on Firefox, I discovered that when I Googled questions, the tabs loaded with a blank 2” left margin indented space. See screenshot attached. This occurred after FF update 147.0, and I have Mac Tahoe 26.2. I see from researching this that it’s a problem after the last FF update, as follows:

The left margin indentation glitch in Firefox 147.0 on macOS Tahoe is a known issue, likely related to rendering or graphics settings conflicts within the new macOS version. Potential fixes include disabling hardware acceleration or checking specific feature flags in about:config.

I refreshed FF, and now all bookmarks I had minimized have the 2” blank margin. How do I get it back to normal so that the text has no huge left margin?

Today when I went to play spotify on Firefox browser it said playback of protected content is not enaybled and at the top it says "The WidevineCdm plugin has crashed". Ive tried everything I could think of and possibly do.

Ive tried: Restarting my computer Deleting and reinstalling Firefox Using troubleshoot mode Disabling Widevine plugin Refreshing the page Toggling DRM content off then on again and ive submitted all crash reports

Im just not sure what to try next, if anyones experiences this before and has bypassed it somehow. Please share
