Firefox Support Forum

why is literally every setting on this horse [redacted] browser over the top complicated? trying to watch a show but I can't because I dont know how to disable ad block for one site, what was wrong with the pause button? why do I need a super secure password just to come on here and get help? why cant I use mozillasucks as a password? are y'all trying to make chrome look user friendly? why have my saved log ins moved to pop up tab where I have to copy and paste them? what was wrong with the drop down menu when you click the box to type your sign in info? as someone who genuinely doesn't care for or understand the IT side of things you make using this browser a nightmare.

Hi ! J'utilise firefox depuis très longtemps sans me rendre compte qu'il connaissait ma position, et n'ai pas de problème avec ça. C'est quand j'ai voulu lui dire que j'habitais aux États-Unis pour changer la langue et le type de résultats (correspondant à ce dont j'ai besoin, mes études et recherches) que je me suis retrouvé coincé ; il ne m'affichait que mon adresse, toujours des résultats en français et aucun résultat pertinent malgré ma langue anglaise. Que faire ?

Merci par avance, Jacques.

Due to a recent update, Firefox has changed its search results in the URL search bar.

I used to be able to turn off ALL search suggestions other than bookmarks. However, now it shows expanded results based on my bookmarks that are actually NOT bookmarked pages.

NOTE: This appears as separate behavior from Firefox Suggest. However it is linked to the settings for Firefox Suggest. The heading "Firefox Suggest" in the URL bar provides the correct link.

For example, I have a single page bookmarked from wrapbook, but instead of suggesting that bookmark it suggests the root domain/homepage.

I have no interest or purpose in visiting that homepage, but hitting enter it will autofill to that page. This is super annoying as it's not in my history or bookmarks.

Turning off bookmarks completely in Firefox Suggest settings fixes this behavior, BUT it means I have no access to my bookmarks from the URL search bar. This makes it a 3 step process to open bookmarks then, and is a poor UX design.

I have copied my settings and example screens below for reference.

I'm using the current version 118.0.2 (64-bit). Windows 10 Pro x64

Previously I turned off all search suggestions and it worked correctly. Just FYI, I also whitelist all websites and use restricted/strict cookie settings. The only cookies that are retained between sessions are those that I manually add to the "exceptions" section of settings. All other history and cookies are cleared.

My desktop is interrupted by Foxfire pop ups from an on line employment service. I want to uninstall their messages/ads, but can't even find the Foxfire menu page. I am not computer literate and am unable to follow instructions that don't seem to work! Please do not write in tech talk!

I've noticed with the latest update of Mozilla,I can't keep the history tab open for more than just a few moments,if I do,Firefox slows down alot,and I have to close history to get it back to normal. This has never happened before with any Firefox update. Is this something that will be fixed in the next update,or is it something else?

All of a sudden my visitor counters stopped working in Firefox . I have only ever used Firefox . I checked EDGE browser visitor counter visible . I checked CROME browser visitor counter visible . Cleaned and cleared my Firefox browser . No help . What is going on ?

Good day. I just noticed that saving a bookmark to an Amazon page shows the full address in the title of the bookmark now, instead of the description of the page. I checked and this does not happen on other sites, like YouTube, where the video title is still given correctly. This make it very hard to find the bookmarked Amazon items. Thank you for your help. Love Firefox! PS: I'm a Firefox "Power User" when it comes to Bookmarks. I have over 8000 bookmarks and regularly back them up. I have some other suggestions regarding Bookmarks in Firefox if you are interested. Regard, K

There is an organizational website https://www.ura.go.ug/ After login, it presents the Image below, yet my Mozilla Firefox Browser is up-to-date. I do not get the same messages when I use other browsers like Chrome or Ms Edge. This has been like this ever since the updates beyond Firefox version 78.

Websites and their pages slow way down when I have Malwarebytes Browser Guard turned on. This only started a couple of months ago, I had no problems before then. Could this be an issue with the Malwarebytes browser guard or a Firefox update? Thanks for any help you can be, Larry

New to me Surface3 pro tablet. Have FF on my desktop, want it on the tablet and synced with the desktop. Download and install were fine up until i went to log in on the tablet. I mis spelled the email address and did not notice until the codes never arrived. I cant find a way to get FF to "forget" what i entered. I uninstalled hoping that would do it and deleted the FF old data file it saved on the screen, but no matter what i do it keeps coming back to the old misspelled entry and does not let me log out or change it. What to do! Tablet is running W10 Pro Send this from my desktop also running W10Pro

Dear Community,

I try to open "weverse.io" but it doesn´t work... I can open weverse.io/account, m.weverse.io/bts/artistpedia and weverseshop.io/ but not the official website. And I don´t know what else to do. I´ve uninstalled Firefox and downloaded it again, i´ve deleted cookies, cache, DNS cache and other delateable things, checked my security system and deactivated ghostery... I´ve got the same problem with edge and chrome. The browser from Avira works... I don´t understand why it doesn´t work with firefox anymore. Edge tells me "Hmmm...this website is not available right now. The connection appears to have been disconnected from weverse.io." Maybe that´s helpfull... Does anybody have an idea what I can do?

Thank you :)

So because of the name change, I am prompted to ask "do I even have an account?" The fact that I am able to even ask you this question must mean that I do. I have been using Firefox and Thunderbird for years and never new that it / they needed or came with an account. So I apparently have an account. Now what? What can or should I do with it?

I'm not sure that I can get any help with my problem but I need to try. Always after a format of my PC when I reinstall new windows and log in to my Mozilla account my saved tabs come back with my account. This time it didn't happen. Can I get any data restoration or something like that? I formatted my PC on November 21. Can I somehow get them back from one day before?

hello, i use setting "Delete cookies and site data when Mozilla closes". i also employ multiple ad-blockers, etc. when opening websites, sometimes an "opt-out" or "accept all cookies" screen pops-up. the "more ethical" websites give adequate time to respond and enter choices whereas the vast majority close within a few seconds (no time to choose). just spoke with PayPal about their website's lightening-speed "cookie" pop-up. each website's pop-up is different so i found it difficult to believe when she said this was a "browser" issue (something Mozilla controls). i realize it's fairly impossible to not have cookies gather info but what can i do to opt-out on websites (besides not opening them) like this? thanks, dave PS: i'd add an image but can't catch one!

See screenshot. An answer typed into Quora waits forever but never finishes sending. I have to retry several times and sometimes I have to switch to Chrome for it to send. What I type seems to upload but when I press POST it never gets me a confirmation that it has been received, i.e. posted. If I reload the current page then it says I've typed an answer, do I want to edit it? I edit it and press POST, but it still takes forever. Sometimes it does work after a few times. This has been going on for at least 2 months or more. Chrome works.

Hi, Websites in Word Press that have a video background do not work properly and do not play the video. In Chrome it's OK. Example: yaronimo.pl
