Firefox Community Forum

I had two profiles set up in Firefox that are not showing up now after restarting my computer. One I have been using for YEARS. I have hundreds of bookmarked pages and saved passwords that I cannot access now. I also have a second business account that is not showing up anywhere and I need for an extremely important meeting in a half hour. This is disastrous and I do not understand why your browser did this.

I checked the parameters:

full-screen-api.ignore-widgets = false browser.fullscreen.autohide = true

I restarted File Explorer, the browser, and the PC; the problem only occurs in Firefox. At the same time, if I press F11 in advance, then when I press F again or open a full‑screen video with the mouse, the taskbar no longer interferes. I tried running the video in incognito mode, but the problem persists.

I Accidentally signed out of my account and then had to change my password, now all old passwords and bookmarks are gone! Help to restore please. Now when I sign in, it's with the new password and I can't access any of my old back-ups.

firefox has always been the brower i choose .

but lately firefox is unable to browes or play streams

i tryed all online steps to have it resolfed but still nothing

Po ostatniej aktualizacji, karty na górnej belce mają zaokrąglone brzegi. Irytuje mnie taki widok i nie podoba mi się, chciałbym przywrócić poprzedni widok kart, z prostokątnymi brzegami. Wgranie motywu "Proton" nie pomogło, zmieniła się tylko kolorystyka

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.

Someone claiming to be with Microsoft froze my computer until I answered whether I wanted them to know where I am at. I need protection from hackers like this. I want to be able to do a full scan on my computer.

Hello there,

I realized that quite often when I restart Firefox (Developper Edition) and restore my previous session (latest occurence with 46 tabs), the window becomes invisible. It still exists, and I can even see it in the Window menu list pointing to my latest tab but it's nowhere on screen. I can add/navigate through/select/remove tabs using the keyboard, I can see them listed on screen when I Ctrl-Tab but the whole window remains invisible.

It'd be great if someone could help me out.

Best regards,

Emmanuel

I'm not given the choice to STAY LOGGED IN and every time the system logs me out, I'm going through the motions of restoring my bookmarks. Isn't there a way Mozilla could fix this by allowing the bookmarks to be restored to the last login or give the user the choice to stay logged in? Better yet, DO BOTH. You know your the ONLY web browser that I've ever used that fails to do this. I'm sure their are dozens of programmers that could spend 30 minutes coding this into program. A few lines of code or a HOOK to fix this.

I stopped using Firefox on my desktop and began using Edge until it was necessary to have a Microsoft account for it to fully function. Then and only then I returned to Firefox.

Help us out here people. This is a real "rock in the shoe" issue.

Hi. Firefox 157 was installed yesterday. I switched it to compact mode and its not as tight as the previous version. Is there any way to make compact mode more compact? Thanks for your time.

Firefox Home shows only 8 shortcuts and hides the Add button despite being set to 4 rows

Environment: - Windows - Firefox 157.0 (64-bit) - The same issue occurred in Firefox 156.0.1 before updating. - Built-in Firefox Home is selected for the homepage and new tabs.

Steps to reproduce in my current profile: 1. Enable Shortcuts in Firefox Home settings. 2. Set the number of shortcut rows to 4. 3. Add shortcuts using the "+" button. 4. Once 8 shortcuts have been added, the "+" button disappears. 5. Open another new tab or restart Firefox.

Actual result: Only one row containing 8 shortcuts is displayed. There is no "+" button to add a ninth shortcut, although the settings still show 4 rows.

Expected result: Firefox should allow additional shortcuts in the configured rows and keep an option to add more shortcuts until the available slots are filled.

Checks and troubleshooting: - Confirmed that browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows is set to 4. - The issue also occurred in Troubleshoot Mode. - Temporarily enabling sponsored shortcuts did not help. - Updating from Firefox 156.0.1 to 157.0 did not help. - Testing browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled set to false did not help.

Additional context: During earlier troubleshooting, browser.newtabpage.pinned was manually edited to add a ninth shortcut. After restarting Firefox, the previous shortcuts disappeared except for YouTube. I then rebuilt the shortcuts using the normal "+" button. The same problem returned as soon as I reached 8 shortcuts. The issue therefore existed before and after that manual edit.

I have not tested with a separate, fresh Firefox profile. I do not know which Firefox version first introduced the issue.
