Firefox Community Forum

I am using the new profile switching feature in the UI, from top of the hamburger menu. Firefox is my default browser on Windows.

Now, I want all links I activate from other Windows programs to open in a specific profile. I use the other profiles for auxilary tasks.

Is there any way to achieve this?

2 days ago you tube is suddenly blocked. 11/6/2025 i would click a video, it would "blink" at me and do nothing. i updated firefox, ublock was updated about a month ago and now i can't even get a home page to load. i have refreshed and restarted

I recently bought an new HP Win 11 PC to replace my current Win 10 machine. Running latest FF 144.0.2 on both. How do I transfer my complete FF profile (bookmarks, bookmark bar, login data, EVERYTHING) to the new PC? Want the new install to be an exact functional copy.

THANKS!

I generally always use Firefox on my PC for everything.

I also often chat with Amazon as they are never short when it comes to fucking my orders

I have not used Amazon for the past 2-3 months and when I finally placed a new order 3 days ago, to resolve the usual non delivery issue, I contacted them via Live Chat, however instead of seeing Chat window pop open as usual, all I got was ABOUT:BLANK in new tab, hmmm...

So far to fix this or at least ascertain cause:

- I contacted Amazon.fr (where I live) and guy at digital services said, "nah, no flies on us, it's Mozilla's fault" - Edge, on same PC (windows 10), works OK for chat - Launching in safe mode changes nothing - Nor does disabling NordVPN - I also added Amazon.fr as "exception" in pop-ups, to no avail - and when I unchecked block box to enable all pop-ups, no better luck - lastly, on my iphone via Safari, all is good, assuming one enjoys typing with 1-2 fingers

my version of Firefox is up to date: 144.0.2

voilà

suggestions?

thanks

Every once in a while, my pinned tabs and/or my tab groups disappear. this usually happens after an update, but not always. Sometimes I type a lot of commands, and FF seems to get upset and freezes or goes black. I restart and poof, they're gone. I made a screenshot of my standard pinned tabs so I can restore it from that, which is a nuisance in itself. But the tab groups are gone forever along with the urls I painstakingly researched. I read the answers to two previous queries along these lines, both of which gave extensive, tedious procedures to recover them. I'm not willing to go through all that just to use Firefox. I've switched my tab groups to Edge just to keep them safe and although I prefer not to be captured by Google or Microsoft, am thinking about just switching to either of them.

Over the last couple of updates, FF has seemed less and less stable. I tried the vertical tabs and liked them but the open sidebar on hover stopped working and when the sidebar itself got stuck on open it hid the history and AI sidebars. Plus FF was very slow to open. I reverted to horizontal tabs and now it's faster but still the pins and tab group problems persist.

I'm using it on an HP desktop in Windows 11. Sorry I don't have any screenshots.

Reader view doesn't work on many Lifehacker pages/articles. Can something be done to make it work on those pages? Here's an example:

Hello Firefox Community,

I’m facing an issue with my restaurant-related website Bojangles Menu with Prices—https://bojanglesmenuprices.us. .

When I search for my website in Firefox or share one of its pages through the browser (for example, by copying the link or sharing via email/social media), the preview doesn’t display correctly. Sometimes the image thumbnail is missing, and other times the meta title or description doesn’t appear.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Checked the Open Graph (OG) and meta tags on my site.

Cleared Firefox cache and cookies.

Verified that the site preview works fine on Chrome and Edge.

Updated all social and sharing metadata in my HTML.

Is there any Firefox-specific issue or setting that could affect how link previews or shared content are displayed? I’d really appreciate any help on how to make my Bojangles Menu website show up correctly when searched or shared via Firefox.

Thank you! Sonia

When i open firefox, i can choose what profile to open. I have two screens, so i was wondering if it was possible to be able to open both profiles i use, and have one on each screen. If not possible, would it be considered for an update in the future? It would make it easier, so i can have my personal profile on one screen, and my work profile on the other.

THE ABOVE ERROR MESSAGE HAS PREVENTED ME FROM ACCESSING 3 WEBSITES - PaddyPower, Ladbrokes, & UK National Lottery. None of the suggested remedies has had any effect. Can you fix it?

Hi everyone, I run a website, which provides information about mobile phone prices and SIM packages in Bangladesh. I’ve been working on improving page load speed using LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare CDN. While it works well in Chrome, I’ve noticed that Firefox doesn’t always cache pages or static assets (like images and CSS) as effectively. Does Firefox handle cache-control headers or service workers differently than other browsers? I’d also love any advice on best practices for implementing browser caching or service worker scripts that improve performance on Firefox without causing outdated content issues. Thanks for your time and any insights!

whenever I do a Firefox update, there sometimes is a new extension included that I personally feel no use or need for..most of the time I can disable them w/programs like Ccleaner (see image), but some are persistent, and return the next time I open Firefox. Firefox always consumed a significant portion of my 8gigs of RAM, and my latest update to 144.02, it is approaching 15%. Any way I can stop this short of reverting back to previous version?

Went to bed last night & firefox was fine.

Opened it this morning & I don't see my bookmarks. The folders on the toolbar from Africa to Healthcare all say empty. Lottery thru web cameras have links in them that I can see. I I open another tab & go to google, then save that bookmark in the google folder it won't let me yet edit bookmark shows.

If I click edit bookmark it tells me that it's in the google folder already yet when I click on the folder, it says empty..

Ran a virus scan. It was clean. I tried restoring bookmarks from a previous day. Firefox was unable to do it.

What is going on? If the bookmarks are there, why can't I see them?

I've used this browser for years without a problem. Now all the sudden it's one problem after another. I'm ready to jump ship to a different browser.

I'm on version 144.0.2 (64-bit) using Windows 11 Pro.
