Firefox Community Forum

Lately, whenever I click into a youtube video from within youtube, instead of Firefox blocking autoplay, it mutes the video but lets it play.

Initially, it was muting EVERY video I pulled up, but messing with my settings has fixed the problem if I click into a youtube video from elsewhere (ex. a google search result), or if I refresh the page. It's super annoying to having navigating youtube be this non-functional right now, though, since everything just silently plays until I catch and unmute it! Any help would be super appreciated!

(I'll attach an image with my current autoplay settings.)

I just had to reinstall firefox today, and now my bookmarks sidebar is on the right of the browser window. I want it back on the left side where it belongs, but I can't find any instructions on how to do that. I really don't like this. Am I going to need to just switch browsers altogether, or can I get my old firefox setup back?

If i want to watch a video that has geoblocker and i switch VPN on, some videos stop after a short time (2-3 min) and if i refresh the page it will again run only for a short time after choosing the scene and continue watching. Some other videos on the same page just run fine with VPN on, without any interruptions. Why is that and what to do?

Is there a way to make the desktop version of Firefox enable the VPN when ever it starts. I find it annoying to have to turn it on every single time I start firefox or open a new tab. Thanks

I installed and update this morning, September 7, 2026, but now all my previously saved bookmarks (prior to September 7, 2026) are not accessible or shown. How do I recover all of them?

Am using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 11 and Firefox v.155.0.1 (latest). Have just purchased Bitwarden in order to have master password for security when computer goes for servicing etc. But cannot find the manner to generate csv file needed by Bitwarden. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Need help how to fix the issue described above. I do not want to set the websites in tabs every time I open Fox. I use Fox for years and I did not have any problem with tabs until now when AI Smart Window Beta was introduced. It really bothers me to go and select the websites I need every time I start my PC. Thank you.

Why wouldn't 'BOOKMARKS" be the first (1st!) option instead of stupid never used history? Who let their 3 year old make this change??? I could not find a way to remove history from this useless section...only BOOKMARKS should be easier to find since we all use it the most.

The Bookmarks is the MOST important AND MOST OFTEN USED feature and should be back on top...so annoying and unnecessary!

The recent changes to the right-click menu on YouTube are a backward step. The menu is now cluttered with options I don't use, while the useful “Open in New Window” option has disappeared. I regularly use this function and having to use Shift+click instead is unnecessarily inconvenient. Please consider restoring “Open in New Window” to the context menu. Not every new feature is an improvement, and sometimes the simple, familiar options are the ones users actually want.

I prefer to use the Microsoft Store version of Firefox, but after every update I have to allow it all over again in Windows Firewall. There must be something I can do about this so it won't happen again. And yes I know it's because it thinks it's a new application, but Edge does not have the problem. So there must be a workaround for this.

For the last three days or so I have been haivng problems with loggin in to sites. I no longer log in automatically to my many of the sites I use, particularly those set for my home page such as IMDB.com, ebay, web.whatsapp.com etc. Everytime I restart firefox I have to log in again. This started I think wit hthe latest update 155.0.1 (my current version) installed 5th sept 26 or 155.0 installed 3 sept 26

It doesn't seem to be reading the cookies that exist. I have it configure so all cookies are cleared on exit except those in the exception list, which are those for my home page plus about 30 others I log into. There is definitely cookie data there for these sites. I hve tried everythinig but this clearly seems to be a bug. at the moment I am using Opera since the necessity to keep loggin in to every site every time is just too much.

Hey all,

I'd love to use the Lists widget on my homepage (or really any widget, for that matter), but I can't see any option to enable it in the Customize page. I've been able to toggle Stories and Shortcuts, and can see and toggle Weather, but any other widget doesn't exist in any place I can find. I've tried manually toggling the individual widget flags in about:config and that hasn't done anything either, as well as trying it on a new account. Is there anything I'm missing here? How could I go about enabling these?
