Firefox Community Forum

I am using Mozilla Firefox Developers Edition for Windows 11. Recently I have encountered a problem where my bookmarks are constantly disappearing from the panel and toolbar elements are changing places (like the arrows or the reload button).

I read the support and came across three articles about problems with this. The first two were xulstore and Places.sqlite files, which I deleted and followed the instructions in the article, reset the browser settings, but nothing happened. The third article was about the profile, I went in and saw that I had two profiles, which I deleted and created a new one, completely previously removed the browser from the device. But again, nothing happened.

I think this started when I started using the built-in Windows 11 workspace feature (multiple desktops, I opened two browsers at the same time). It was after this that my bookmarks and toolbar changed in the pre-login in the application.

I would appreciate help with this issue.

Using 148 on Debian trixie I do not see the option for "refresh browser"?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Does it still exist or is there an alternative ?

Last week I discovered that my emails (yahoo) when clicked on opened a Preview screen next to the email lists. How can the previews be removed and my emails appear across my screen instead of being crammed into a left hand column?

I suspect Firefox Relay is not allowing me to sign into a site on the internet. Following instructions I put the Relay Dashboard in my Firefox Settings or so I thought. How do I locate it?

Hello,

I'm a bit out of ideas how I can get Firefox to display the correct characters. For reference: https://learnjapanese.moe/font/

Windows: I only have german and japanese locale installed, i even changed in intl.cpl the language to japanese. I have installed the japanese language pack / fonts and it's showing correctly in any windows editor.

Firefox: Second language set to japanese, disabled all addons, tried it on private mode to no success.

Any ideas how I get the characters to display?

Edit: I made it work by changing in about:config the font.cjk_pref_fallback_order-string to have ja as first.

Hi. I did a clean install of Windows 11 yesterday. I reinstalled Firefox with the TreeStyletabs addon. I had saved the old sessionstore files so I thought it would be easy to get my tabs back.

Two things happens.

1) If I copy over a sessionstore.jsonlz4 to the profilefolder, it gets overwritten byt FireFox when I start the browser. 2) If I don't do that and instead click History and then Restore Previous Session Firefox will use the previousjsonlz4 and restore my tabs . But I have to do it everytime I start Firefox. It does 'remember' what I did.

How can I fix this?

After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

Periodically I open Friefox and all my cookies have been deleted. I go into settings to find "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" has been checked (NOT BY ME!) again. This is very annoying as I then have to log into all my websites and go through 2FA. This is annoying to the point that I am posting on this site for help. Next step is find a new browser that doesn't screw up my work-flow randomly for no reason.

How do I stop Firefox from opening Finder in a new window? I don't want to have to go back and forth between windows. The same thing happens when I open a PDF. Thanks.

The Support forum is full with people having this problem and it seems no one at Mozilla can even b.u.t.t in with something like "we are working on it" or "here is how you can fix it yourself, also for none nerds" or anything?? Hello Mozilla, are you still alive or should we move on to a browser that does not malfunction on such an important issue as copy and paste? P.S. no answer is an answer too Mozilla, we can safely assume you are now buried on boothill, right?

Hi community!

For some reason, the short description of an email is now under the subject instead of besides it in the overview. This does something to my head that, atleast for me, makes it cluttery and hard to hover over who sent me email. I want a column with who sent me mail, then I want right of it a short description, the start of the mail, just like it always was. It takes vertical space so less email is visible and my head has to switch from "from" to "content" to "from" to "content" which is for some reason very tiring. It's one of the reasons I hate outlook... Please don't tell me Thunderbird changed into outlook -_-

How do I change this back to the way it was?
