After a recent Firefox updated 11/17/2025 I went to try and use Firefox as my default browser I realized that all my bookmarks that I saved for I can't remember how long a very long time (years) I lost it all and I don't have any backups bcuz I never had to make any and now after a new update I have zero bookmarks left I am very disappointed and angry at the same time bcuz if I put so much efforts on doing something I expect to know that what I did won't just get completely erased so I just wanna get that point across Firefox was my favorite web browser now I'm not so sure anymore anyway my email address is as follows [edited email from public community support forum]

Recently I have been issues with switching between windows of Firefox. No matter how many times I try to Alt-Tab or click on another window it momentarily goes to that window before switching back immediately. The only work around I found is to click a window of some other software and then click the window I want to work on in Firefox. Doing this is not making it switch back to the older window of Firefox again. Please help me in fixing this issue. It's making it nearly impossible to work on Firefox due to this.

Your latest update seems to have broken Firefox on my iPhone for me ☹️👎🏼 I now can’t access my Shortcuts or Bookmarks at all - they appear “shadowed” in the lower half of the screen but if I touch this area it flicks back to the last URL.

HOW DO I FIX THIS ???

if the browser ever crashes it likes to forget all my login cache forcing me to login over and over again. it also forgets my last session even though i have load my last session of tabs on startup. this POS keep loading no tabs from the last session.

It appears that any ESR version will auto upgrade to the Release version right after you close the program and shut your machine down. When you go back online, surprise!, you now have 144.0.1 installed with HALF your folders missing.

This concerns the display of bookmarksto the the left of the main display. Fot the record, this is installed om Magea Linux, vers 9, from the OS repository, and is Firefox vers 140.4.0esr ( 64-bit). Up until recently the display was variable in width, and once the box for 'show bookarks' was ticked, the bookmarks display opened in any new ;Firefox' brought up. With the two new features, I have a pair of niggles. One, is that the new sidebar, being fixed width, cannot be reduced. Taking up more screen 'Real Estate', that I consider would be better utilised for the main panel. The other niggle, is that ticking 'Show bookmarks' is not permanent and has to be re-ticked, for any new Firefox' display. I have another machine running the same version of Mageia. I opened this today, and it, while still showing the same version of Firefox, displays the old version. Perhaps, since the Mageia support section have not yet.sent a prompt for update. My query, is. Is it possible for me to return to the old style display, or is there a setting that will do so. The new display, having several options, is possibly an advance. But, for me, bookmarks display is paramount.

If I click "Display the progress of ongoing downloads" I can see what is currently downloading, but then when I click "Show All Downloads", nothing shows on the next screen. I've rebooted and restarted Firefox several times, on one or two occasions items DO come up on that next screen, but usually nothing is showing.

My email provider is terminating the existing email domain name, and replacing it with a new domain name. I want to retain all existing Thunderbird folders and emails for use with the new email. Example: username@q.com becomes username@myclk.com. (Yep, it's Centurylink.)

Can I change my existing Thunderbird account name and email and retain all existing folders and emails in the account? Some server settings would also be changed.

Or, do I need to set up a new account?

Thanks

Yahoo insists on OAuth2 but tb always complains about Javascript missing. I can enter username and then in the the next screen password but the process then hangs, signing in continuing forever.

Please consider a slight change in the new feature where on the bottom right we have an opportunity to click on "as read" or "delete". Great time saver, but for heaven's sake you bring up the Thunderbird anyway. Come on ! ! ! ? The short cut is so we don't have to bring it up. What good is this new feature if it is exactly the same number of clicks as if you didn't have this new feature. Walt

I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

(not the first time) Mozilla closed all my open tabs... Well, maybe she was sick of the number of them... However, from the magazine, "recently closed tabs" are not restored, even though there is such a function.... And also - I use exclusively portable versions of the fox... When I click on the link, somewhere, in Telegram or on... dating site (joke), they open them, not my beautiful chanterelle, but some faceless dog, that is, firefox, absolutely clean, without themes, without extensions, without bookmarks... Why is it happening?

I reinstall my pc and wanted to resync firefox, but wrote password wrong few times and went with suggestion to reset it through the mail, but my histroy and bookmarks not there? Is there possiblity to recover if I know my old password???
