Using Win 10. Desktop. Firefox is up to date. Problem happens even when all extensions disabled.

Every time I open Firefox it starts with a single blank page. This is fine, it is set to open new pages with a blank page but I also have have the [Open previous windows and tabs] ticked too and it never remembers.

Menu bar's [History] > [Restore Previous History] is greyed out.

Simultaneously, though not necessarily related, I am unable to pay for anything using my eBay balance.

Please explain how Firefox destroys our data from an update that eliminated my bookmark toolbar and how to recover those bookmarks??

My Dell laptop with docking station and Firefox browser were working fine the evening of July 22 but on the afternoon of July 23 all my bookmarks on the toolbar were gone. I had not touched the laptop during that 16-20 hour interim. When not in use, I have my laptop off and unplugged. I also note (but cannot explain) that Mozilla has me contacting "my account" through Windows 10. I have not used Windows 10 in 3 years (or more). I have continuously used Windows 11 Pro during that time frame.

I have reviewed some of the articles and email exchanges between a volunteer and a Mozilla user whose bookmarks were also inexplicably deleted but found those exchanges confusing, Unfortunately, I'm concerned that I'll do something that further fouls up my system. Email is working fine (the new outlook) and the apps are working fine. Is there a way to recover my bookmarks toolbar? If not, please explain why. Also, since Mozilla seems to wipe out my bookmarks periodically (this is about the third time) what preventative measures are available.

Please post a response or contact David at < [redacted email from community support forum] >. Thank you to all that can help as well as those who can commiserate.

Hi, when in tracking protection settings, the difference between major and minor page corrections checkbox choices isn't explained. A referral url info button would help alleviate. Wish I could help the project, but I'm 72 & have been fighting m$ retribution as an involuntary uefi tester for an alleged dmca violation 20 years ago. Yes, they do maintain blacklists for their own internal justice system, which I discovered using self-taught low level Linux forensics to find the bootkit methods they locked into my bios.

My checking acct was hacked on GOOGLE EM yesterday- person charged a HP laptop to my checking account. Thankfully, my credit union alert phoned me to confirm this purchase and did not distribute the $1275 charge. I phoned them and they filed a fraud report and blocked my card. They advised I contact HP and 'CANCEL" this fraudulent charge. I phoned the number for HP on the email I received confirming my purchase and a second HP email saying my payment was declined. I was forwarded to their FRAUD dept, agent. Who took my name, phone and address. Then advised me that they cancelled the purchase and it had NOT been a completed bank transaction.

I am gettingHUNDREDS of spams daily. I used up the 5000 BLOCKS they allow over a year ago. SICK OF GOOGLE porn, fake US GOVT, and CASINO deposits as well as coming from all over the GLOBE into my email. I do send everone of the fake US GOVT email to Fraud report website I do report SPAM and also PHISHING on each one of these hundreds daily...soooooo tired of GOOGLE SHITMAIL! Please tell me safest email to use.

Also, 2nd request. Can you help me understand WHY even though I DO have my Firefox settings to save open tabs when I close or shut down, as well as to OPEN FIREFOX whenever I restart my computer...neither are working!

ALSO, 3rd request I have gmail set for email receivt onFirefox. and there are two areas to conduct a search FIREFOX in the center of the screen and of course the top line access to enter a search query...whenever I type in the FIREFOX Box to conduct a search it automatically goes to the upper entry box.

I am 79, a former educator, and have vg mental health still, YET, I HATE MORE AND MORE USING the computer and the cellphone, as there seems daily to be something that does not work and going to settings and reading each area to figure out what is wrong or why this happened is too difficult to read, to do, to recall withoug having to PRINT OUT EACH DIRECTION.

Yes, perhaps, I too have become a dinosaur and my mind is NOT calibrated to the CONSTANT UPDATES and changes demanded using new computer and phone technologies.

I thank GOD we do have people LIKE YOU TECHIES to try to help us GET IT RIGHT.

I have webpage (Home Assistant instance) on my local network on which I would like to use microphone (for Assistant functionality). Page is completely local, i.e. not visible from Internet. My issue is I can't force Firefox to allow microphone access on this page. I've tried messing with media.devices.insecure.enabled config, but it didn't help. Is there any way to add such page to some whitelist to allow microphone access? From what I gathered Chromium-based browser provides "--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=..." option but I didn't find anything similar for Firefox. I know I could expose my server to outside network and get SSL certificate (from Lets Encrypt) to make it work, but exposing server to Internet just to get local microphone access somehow doesn't feel like a more secure solution. I could probably also issue self-singed certificate but dealing with that also seems at least annoying.

Version 154 (64 bit) creates a start menu shortcut in %appdata%/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs/ with each and every launch. I have Firefox installed to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

Installing a shortcut at launch is undesirable to say the least.

Is there a way I can disable this behavior?

Hello,

I have noticed in the last month or so a new phenomenon. I regularly need to access such platforms as Microsoft Ads, Google Ads and Google Analytics. Previously with my FireFox VPN turned on I had no issues. Now I cannot access these sites unless I turn off the VPN. I think there was a FireFox update not long ago. Should I be experiencing this issue or is there a resolution to this problem?

Thanks Andrew
