Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I would like Firefox to offer the same usability as Chrome when it comes to pinned tabs and session restoration.

In Chrome, I keep about five tabs pinned and always open. When I start Chrome, all my tabs are there, and it shows the last tab I was using. This is smart and logical because it lets me continue exactly where I left off.

Firefox, on the other hand, always jumps to a new tab on startup, even if I was working on a different pinned tab when I closed the browser.

I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating this is. I often work on multiple screens with multiple browser instances, and this behavior constantly interrupts my workflow. It’s so disruptive that I felt compelled to write this complaint.

Please fix this and allow Firefox to behave in a normal, logical way. Stop forcing a new tab to open every single time on startup, or at least give us a proper option to disable this and restore the session exactly as it was.

You’ve made it easy to import everything from Chrome, but without offering this same basic functionality, Firefox feels incomplete.

Thanks

Hi,

I have 3 devices with the same Firefox account : a phone, a work pc and a personal pc. I don't have bookmarks sync on any of my devices. From my phone I can access (read only) my bookmarks from both my pc. It seems I can't do the same from a pc to another. Am I missing something or is the feature not implemented?

Thanks

I filled out a registration form to attend an event. At completing the form I clicked on the "submit" button - nothing. Closed the window repeated filling out the form, clicked on "submit" nothing again, no error statement. I could see the "button" react but nothing.

Shifted to another browser, the one having to do with the end of something. Filled out the form, clicked "submit" got an acknowledgement right away.

Any clues?

"I'm experiencing an issue where Firefox shows a 'Trouble finding site' error every time I visit a new website. However, when I refresh the page, the site loads correctly. This issue persists across multiple websites and requires a refresh every time I navigate to a new page. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'd appreciate any help in resolving this issue."

below example shows: visited site -> error -> refreshed -> now works

So basically, video on Youtube plays fine, as long as its focused. When I focus to another window on my other monitor the video drop FPS to like 15 FPS range, which is turbo annoying. Any idea how to fix this crap?

FF 142.0.1. We have used FF fir many, many years, and NEVER, that is NEVER, been able to ad an extension to our toolbar. Yes, we have read myriad posts and sundry blogs where most of the advice we see is totally useless because the things we are supposed to do not exist in our FF. We can’t add in the customise palette, the extension manger Pin to Toolba, settings, et ceteras. So, how do we add an FF extension to the toolbar in FF 142.0.1? Thank you

Hello,

I just switched to Mozilla Firefox from Chrome, I went through the import process and while Password, Bookmarks have been imported the History however will not import at all. It says it will only import 180 days of history but it appears with a yellow triangle exclamation mark and does not even import a single day.

I successfully imported to Edge for example but again if I try to import the history from Edge to Firefox it fails.

I also tried other freshly installed Firefox based browsers and they all fail to import history from chromium browsers.

Please fix this issue.

I already did the restart, unnistal, reinstall process still not working.

I also went through threads on the internet stating to modify flags and other settings it simply fails when any Firefox Browser tried to import Chromium history.

Any guidance will be welcome.

Best regards,

Additional information on the problem of not clearing history. It takes from the tool bar at least 5 attempts to clear the Cache, cookies and past pages. The last 15KB of the system cache will not clear. Tried from Setting; Privacy and Security, said there was still 6.9MB, Cleared, check also the past pages box. Came back to the Tool Bar, still has the 15KB in Cache, but settings said there was zero. Not a critical issue at this time. Going forward when you have a response. JJE

Hi folks, I am new here. I wonder if someone could help me solve a new problem which may or may not have anything to do with Firefox itself. Let me explain: a month ago or so, I was running Firefox, and my HP laptop, 64-bit, running Win11, told me I needed to run a new update from Microsoft for my Windows. I forgot that I was running Firefox, and started the update. I live on the West coast of Florida, where there is a lot of lightning... So, right in the middle of the Windows update, lightning took out cable and internet, stopping (interrupting) the update download. The whole neighborhood was affected. Later, when internet service was restored, I re-started the Windows update. Now here's the weird thing: every minute or so, no matter what is or is not running, even before I log into my desktop with my PIN, all of a sudden an old image from a previous Firefox session, complete with tabs, pops up. It then cycles through more images, until I hit the enter button, or tap the pad, or hit escape, exiting the image. It even goes away temporarily if I move the cursor, so trying to X out does not work. A little later, it pops back up. I'm working on a novel, and it is frustrating, because this interruption derails my thought train, complete with caboose. Also, one of the images (static) is my bank page. This spooks me... Please help, someone -- anyone? Ahead of time, thank you!

Why can I not use a shortcut key to slow down or speed up speech. Some things are easy, and I want them to be read fast. Other things require some thought on hearing them, so slow down would be appropriate. And it is inconvenient to have to go inot the options for Read Aloud in order to do this. Besides which, when you go into options, you really don't know whether you have changed the speed the appropriate amount until you go back and listen to the text. As well, I listen to things in English and Spanish and need to switch speeds for these different languages."

Can you help?

When I click on an appointment in the Square appointment calendar, a sidebar appears on the right with information about the client and the appointment. I highlight this information and copy it to a Word document which I print out and use as I interview the client. This has worked just fine for years. As of Wednesday, Sept 10, the client's phone number and email address began appearing in blue text and underlined in the sidebar, and the blue text cannot be copied. Everything else copies just fine. The problem is that the client's phone number and email address are two of the most important things I need to copy. Why are those two items suddenly in blue and not copyable? How can I change this? (I know how to copy and paste--that's not the problem.) I contacted Square support, and they said that the blue text is copyable when using the Chrome browser; I tried it, and they were right--it copied just fine. But, I don't want to use Chrome, I want to use Firefox. How can I fix this?
