Firefox Community Forum

My most recent login, I found all my bookmarks were no longer there. I attempted to restore, from the Library screen, but there is no backup folders visible, nor is there any data in the column on the left. How do I resolve this problem?

The password saver and autofill has worked for me for many years. However, recently (08/18/2026) on many login pages that I regularly use, it will not !! I did discover that, if I supply the first character of the USERNAME, only then Firefox will supply the rest.

I've been using Firefox for so many years I don't use any other browser unless a site doesn't work,then I use 'Opera' (very infrequent). I updated Firefox to v154.0 and now searching does not work properly.

I used to be able to enter a question into the bar/box where one would normally view any given URL, select return, and Firefox would bring up Yahoo! search results.

With this update, that doesn't work. When I select return the URL that had been in the space just reappears. If I visit the Yahoo! main page and try to use the search box with the magnifying/eye-glass, it launches a blank tab.

I'm forced to use the AI icon to get a search result. I do NOT want to use that feature.

Also, with Firefox 154.0 I cannot remove other search engines. With every update I remove Google, Bing, Duck-Duck-Go, Wiki, Amazon, etc. because I ONLY want one search engine, Yahoo!

I checked the Yahoo!Search Extension and made sure all the "allow" buttons needed were selected.

I want to remove the other search engines from the Settings tab, and I would like to have the same behavior prior to the update: simply type my question or text into the main html bar/box and select return, and get results.

I see that other had an issue starting with version 142 or so that was similar, but I've not had this issue until two days ago.

Any help is appreciated. And yes I delete my cache etc. regularly. I'm on Mac OS 15.7.7 and again, it has never been a problem until updating Firefox to v154.

I love Firefox for so many reasons. I was really excited to learn about the new VPN, but it didn't work. So I recently turned it back on and it still doesn't work. When I set it to an available country, then go to one of their websites, it still says the website is not available in my region. It still knows I'm here, and not there. What should I do? I'm thinking of buying Nord VPN, but I'd rather start here if I can.

If I grab the vertical bar and drag it to the right, a gap appears between the sidebar and the web page. If I move it to the left, the web page covers the right side of the sidebar. In both cases the width of the sidebar does not change. I am on Windows 10 with Firefox Version 154.0.

I would be grateful for any help on this.

After the last update I keep bein forcefully logged out of my firefox account. And when I manage to log in, my saved passwords are all gone! After restarting firefox I'm logged out again. What's going on?

This first happened a few days ago and I successfully recovered my book marks from backup. It has now happened twice more. I can't be sure, but it seems possible that this happened each time after installing recent updates. Note that my recent history has also vanished.

Facebook emojis are not showing but the ability to select them remains. When you want to select an emoji on a post you move the mouse over the thumbs up icon. In the last couple days all I get is a black window. But I can still move the mouse over that window and see in text what I want to select.

I am running version 154.00

I have turned on safe mode and the emojis work normally. They all show up.

I have gone through all my add on's and none of them actually effect the outcome.

Picture attached to show the black window.

Hi, I can no longer login using Firefox (latest version for my mac 154.0) into a website that I had no issues logging into until now. Nothing that I am aware off changed on my computer during the last few months. I turned off protections for the website, but it doesn't help. It just sits there, no error message.

I can login into the same website, with the same exact credentials using Safari.

Any idea why this might happen? Does anyone else experiences the same?

Version 154 (64 bit) creates a start menu shortcut in %appdata%/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs/ with each and every launch. I have Firefox installed to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

Installing a shortcut at launch is undesirable to say the least.

Is there a way I can disable this behavior?

After updating Firefox to the latest version (154.0) a short while ago, Firefox now insists on adding a “Firefox” icon to my Start Menu every time I open it. I do not need or want this additional icon, as I already have all the Firefox icons I want in exactly the place(s) where I want them. I am not finding a toggle for this behavior anywhere in the Settings menu structure, although I might be overlooking it. Is there a way to stop this annoying behavior besides rolling back to version 153?

(I am running Windows 11 on a desktop PC with all updates installed, and Firefox is set as my default browser.)

4-5 months ago the right click option to delete SEARCH history disappeared and then was returned to users after numerous complaints. Now, with the release of V154, not only is the right click to delete search history gone once again, the Search History box is also gone, thereby leaving just the normal address box - which also does not include the right click to delete SEARCH history.

Why do in multiple steps what we used to be able to do in ONE?

i click the VPN button and sign in, it tells me i have signed in successfully and turn on with the open panel, but there is no open panel to turn it on it just loops back to me signing in

I am getting constant pop up "alerts" on the right side of my screen that block my view. When I close one another pops up. It's very annoying. All of them have

the Firefox logo and name in the upper left corner.

Thanks.

Today's update (version 154.0, 18 Aug 2026), degraded the appearance of a bookmark menu that contains both left-to-right and right-to-left text.

I have bookmarks in both English and Hebrew text. When a bookmark menu contains both kinds, all of them used to be left-aligned, which made for a tight, easy-to-read. menu. But as of this version, the R2L text is right-aligned, so if the whole menu is a bit wide, there is a lot of empty space. See screenshot.

Also, the next-to-last line in the screenshot, the numbers to the LEFT of the text, not right.

In some multi-line text fields:

• when I begin typing, a menu drops down or pops up.

Each menu option is a previously-typed phrase, not necessarily recent.

Is this a hidden feature of Firefox?

It's very recently evident with at least three websites:

• old Reddit, pictured at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117120940452711262
• Mastodon, pictured here and at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117124332180878790
• here – support.mozilla.org – when I began typing.

Reproducible with multiple Firefox profiles. Also evident with Firefox in safe mode.

Not evident with Microsoft Edge.

At a glance, I don't see anything relevant in release notes – https://www.firefox.com/en-GB/firefox/154.0/releasenotes/

It's possible that the feature was inadvertently enabled in response to an unknown combination of keys (shortcuts) as described in Mastodon.
