Firefox Community Forum

I just moved to a new desktop. I did a backup of my bookmarks on my old PC and a restore of bookmarks on my new PC. My bookmarks have been imported. They’re in the bookmarks drop-down menu. In the bookmarks Library window, the “Manage bookmarks” window, they’re in a folder called Other Bookmarks. But you can’t open that folder. You can’t manage the bookmarks.

Is there a way to import the bookmarks so they can be managed?

I have received this message: -

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I clicked the blue print for help to solve it and I gather the first instruction is to restart Firefox.

I have no idea what that means - Do I click the wee cross top right to close it and then click the Firefox wee sign to open it again. I tried that but get the message.

‘I get the following info when accessing the irs website Error from: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/ola/ Reference ID: 3.d5b03b17.1754318080.397a31c5 for firefox. Why?

I am trying to upload a document on the Supreme Court portal (UK) but it won't work I am told because my browser has to allow pop ups and cookies. Where can I get Firefox to so allow?

Many sites I go to wish me to temporarily turn off Ad Block Plus. I look everywhere in firefox extensions, plug ins, etc etc., and I do not see Ad Block Plus anywhere, so where can it be hiding, or if i removed it in the past, are there still remnants of the extension that could be causing issues? Please help, thanks

If I select "Privacy & Security > History > Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings > Data > Site settings" what SQLite files affected when Firefox closes?

I suspect in the profile folder directly, there's a file called "storage.sqlite", but there seems to be more things affected because the whitelist for my cookies is also wiped-out.

In my experience (115.23.0.esr), when I request to remove site data when Firefox closes, it wipes out my cookie white list, so I want to manage that myself.

When I came back after 10 days, my historic was cancelled. So, I cannot saw the previous pages or windows. What can I do to have again my previous windows ? Have a nice day

Hello.

When I click with a middle button on any bookmark, it immediately opens new tab and automatically switches to it. Also, when right-click a bookmark and select "Open in New Tab" also switches to it. My setting "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is disabled but it still does not work.

Is there any way to disable so it would work like a regular link?

Thank you.

When I play a video in VLC (latest version), or music in WinAmp (yes, it's old but I love it) and load a page in Firefox, this interferes with the video/audio in VLC, or the audio in WinAmp. I tried fiddling with the performance "Enable hardware accelleration" in Firefox settings, but that didn't change this behaviour. How can this be fixed?

Everytime I'm using omnisearch from gitlab ("/" key) tab crashes which lead to forcing firefox to restart.

I tried to troubleshoot by going to about:profiling, it appears that tab goes 100% cpu.

What I tried :

• new profile
• Refresh firefox
• no addons mode
• reinstalling
• Trying with firefox beta 142.0

Doing this on Firefox 141.0 (aarch64) on a Macbook M2 pro sequoia 15.6

Hi, I have a Windows 11 Home 64bit and I am using the latest version of Firefox 141.0 64 Bit.

This issue isn't just on the latest version though, it's been happening for a long time and i can't seem to find why.

I will click on my Firefox bookmark and the page will show up fine as normal, quite often, I will then click on a link within the page and nothing happens, I can see at the tab it's showing it's trying to load, but this just stops after a while. I don;t get an error page etc.. it just stops and goes no further.

This issue seems only to happen on Amazon.co.uk I don't seem to have this issue with any other site, which is odd, as it seems an issue specific to that site.

If I leave it a while, eventually the link will just start to work, and then the rest of the site seems fine, then out of the blue, it might start doing it again.

I have tried things like clearing the cookies for the site, clearing cache etc but still seems to happen.

Does anyone know what it could be?

Regards James

I had to rebuild my Windows 11 this week. Since installing Firefox, streaming videos in Youtube are distorted with significant tiling during the first few seconds. The video has to be rewound manually to see the beginning unhindered, sometimes rewound several times because the tiling still happens, albeit less so with each rewind. I had to rebuild the Windows 11 because some mysterious problem, possibly from a Windows update a couple of months ago, caused a growling hardware contention noise during video or video games that would cycle through several harmonic levels and sometimes move across the stereo plane. Just before the rebuild it became continuous and untennable. The rebuild did not get rid of that problem completely, but there have only been a couple of tiny hardware contention noises since then. This tiling of Youtube video is brand new. The system is pretty much the same now as it was before the rebuild. I still have the old OS on another internal drive so it would be possible to compare files. I just want to know why all of a sudden Firefox is showing this momentary tiling in Youtube. I tried Chrome and there was no titling. Thanks for your time.
