Firefox Community Forum

I am running Windows 11 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. For years, my firefox has opened to us.yahoo.com without a hitch. A day ago it started opening to that page once, then not again. It looks like it trying to do, but something blocks it and it ends up on a blank screen. I can get to yahoo if I then type in the address. I have checked and the home page is set correctly. I have refreshed Firefox several times. I uninstalled it, and re-installed it. It still opens to a blank page. I am running Windows standard security stuff.

I recently swapped to firefox and have had issues with my tabs crashing. There are days where a tab will repeatedly crash, or not at all. It always crashes on 1 tab. I've tried most of the suggested solutions, profiles change, addon troubleshooting, hardware acceleration, updating/reinstalling. Currently on windows 11.

When I do "save as " action for an image in the browser it opens dialogue window to save selected image. Unfortunately it displays files and folders in some random order, rather than my preferred order (sorted alphabetically by name, followed by sorting by type).

I can see no rhyme or reason to the way Firefox lists files and folders in the dialogue window, so every time I am saving an image I have to sort things by name and type before I can find what I want.

This is not permanent so I have to repeat this action every time I save an image.

How do I, please set application preferences? to make this setting permanent?

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

when copying/pasting files from windows Explorer using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V in firefox, only the first file of the copied ones is inserted. there are no problems with other browsers (Google).

Not sure when I download Firefox to new PC ,How do settings I currently have in place transfer to new browser installation?

Also I have bookmarks on a memory card,Will they install to firefox by placing it in drive slot of my new windows11 machine?

Hi, I rebooted Firefox today because a website was frozen, and when it came back, it was asking for a troubleshoot or just continue, and I don't know exactly what that meant, but when I clicked on refresh, everything was changed, including the theme. And then when I tried to restore the theme back to the original it said, add-ons are disabled by safety, and I don't know what that means, and it's not explaining how to undo it. And now everything looks different and I'm not happy with it, and it's not really letting me add any other themes, and if I add them, they don't seem to fully load, the page still looks all white

I have FireFox set up to reset every time I start a new session which causes DuckDuckGo's AI search to reset every time. Does anyone know how I can set it so it doesn't do that? It's annoying always having to disable to every time I open a new session.

I tried to use a ftp link setting firefox as the default ftp app, not realizing firefox no longer supports ftp. I am unable to reset the default app and can't find the setting to do so. I downloaded filezilla and wish to set it to be the default app for ftp. Can someone help me with this? Before anyone suggests it, resetting firefox to default settings is not an option.

Guess I started out wrong , I have a new Win 11 computer with firefox installed , on my old Win 7 firefox machine a new tab always shows several news stories and recently visited sites . How do I get this new computer to also do the same ?

                  Thanks !  Ken

I updated my firefox browser on October 6th and ever since then, whenever I press ALT to switch to a different application (I use ALT + Tab to switch windows) I go back in a tab's history. This never happened before and I'm not sure how to go about disabling whatever function this is. I've checked in the about:config section of firefox but I don't know which of these options is for this function, if it's even in here. Any advice or help would be appreciated!

It only happens on some websites (Wikipedia for one) and doesn't happen anywhere else in my system. I was unable to root out the reason for this and all solutions seem to be for when there are boxes instead. I don't see boxes, only Russian letters for some reason.

For years I have used Firefox to access my Bank of America online account. I am also using Quicken kinked to Bank of America. Today, when logged into bank of America, every action I take results in being sent back to the sign on screen. After clearing with Quicken Support as requested by BOA, I was directed to use a different browser which worked normally. I was told by BOA that the issue was with Firefox.
