Weather on New Tab Page Shows Wrong Location
My new tab page shows a weather forecast, but it's for Kansas City instead of where I live.
How do I change the forecast to show my current location?

Hello everyone,
support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will end in September with the end of the ESR 115 branch. Corresponding support article
Is this still the current status or are there any plans to support the old Windows versions for a little longer?
Thanks and regards, Martin

Sync just does NOT work. I installed FF on my Mac brand new and fresh... brand new machine. Signed into Sync. NOTHING. After 6-7 HOURS... nothing. It just gets NOTHING AT ALL from my Windows Desktop.
I've signed out of ALL Firefox/Mozilla sync sessions... signed in clean- all browsers are up to date. And the about:sync-log page shows a LONG streak of errors... NON STOP ERRORS.
Why?! Why can't we just sync extensions to install and bookmarks across machines? How is this that hard for Mozilla?!

Day after day and attempt after attempt of failures for a basic function of the browser.
Here is the text of the latest log and showing constant connection errors- mind you NOTHING is breaking on my internet as I'm often streaming things and watching stuff while surfing, or others in the house are. Our connection, and Firefox getting online, are all working fine. I am at a loss. I don't understand how this is so terribly broken out of the box that you can't just sign in and let it talk to their servers. I know Google has billions behind Chrome, but this shouldn't be so 1990's bad by comparison to Chrome sync.

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC
Please Help, Rhonda

I noticed a yellow flag at the top of my Firefox screen, clicked on it, and found a message that my account was disconnected. In order to restore it, I had to sign into Mozilla, and I was prompted to re-sync my mobile account, as well. Then I saw that I had not received any email during the 5 hours before I did this. What would become of email sent to me while my account was disconnected?

Hello,
For the past couple weeks, comments on WSJ articles and opinions have not shown up in Firefox. They show up just fine if I use Edge. I'm running Firefox 128.0.2 on a Windows 10 computer.
I run uBlock origin. I tried disabling it, but that has no effect on the problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi. I reallllly don't want to be the person asking the same question that happens every day...but I've tried to do a bit of searching. I could've done a lot more. I had a surprise windows reformat event this morning. Everything is shiny and unmodded. I have never had it open new indow tabs and new windows simultaneously. If I close the window on the toolbar and it closes the tab. I'd blame myself...but the only thing I did was change the font size because I'm nearly blind. Is this a new thing!? I hate it ! I don't want NEW windows, I use firefox for tabs.
this is happening in safe firefox and unsafe firefox. it must be something in the settings but i don't know!! (i've had the worst day at work and having to reformat was unexpected and incredibly frustrating...i just want my computer the way i like it)

I'm using the latest Firefox on Win10, with a fairly powerful laptop (64 gb RAM, intel i7 2.3 GHz chip), and for about a month now, whenever I use it, it uses so much CPU all the time that my laptop is overheating (slight hyperbole, but it's definitely churning the fans a lot, and the area around the keyboard gets hot to the touch). Sometimes it uses up to 45% CPU, and over 20% memory!!! (as reported in the task manager) Usually around 20-25% though. While Chrome, at the same time, is using 0.1%. It's not just when starting up, either, it's continuous during use, until I quit Firefox.
What the h*** is going on?!? I've tried the troubleshooting steps, but it remains crazy regardless of turning off extensions, and I'm just using the default theme. I notice it's mainly when loading images, like on social media.
This is insane. What is happening. Can someone help me?

Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.
Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"
I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.
Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.
Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?
I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

On my laptop (121.0 on doze 10) I have no problems but on my desktop Firefox (121.0 on doze 10) started to struggle with Google a few months ago. Sometimes the Google site doesn't load, sometimes it loads but doesn't connect (no auto-complete, no search) and if it does work the result links often don't load when clicked. It's like Google falls asleep and then, when it wakes up, all is fine, until it nods off again. I have followed advice provided, cleared cache, cleared cookies, removed plugins and extensions, reinitiated and reinstalled. Running in safe mode seems to help, as in pages seem to load faster, but sadly does not eliminate the problems. Other browsers on this machine are not affected. No time sync issues.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Unfortunately using a date type toJSON() result is not accurate. It first apply client timezone and then convert it to json string. In my scenario I am simply read from an API which return a none standard datetime string without its timezone (like "2020-11-21 00:00:00"), Then I try to convert it to a date using new Date("2020-11-21 00:00:00"). Then I use it in another web service but it apply my client timezone when I use JSON.stringify() method (or toJSON()). Does this behaviour is intentionally?
