Dear Firefox team, I have one question only.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Can you STOP bombarding me with the notifications? This is MY DESKTOP, this is MY PC, I DON'T NEED this shit.

For anyone who would like to help:

No, there's no such option in settings. No, removing updater physically does not stop pop-ups. No, there's nothing in about:config to shut up the updates.

For Firefox team:

No, your updates ruin the browser, more and more, I think I'm about to switch to Pale Moon instead.

Hi, I am curious to know why I can't completely remove the Dutch language in the language settings. When I installed the browser it was automatically set-up to Dutch - a language don't speak - then I was able to add English but some functions like spelling corrections are still in Dutch. I would like to get rid of it. I have the same problem with German on another computer. Thanks!

Doing any search brings up result page that just has my query and a search magnifying glass - not the search results as expected and working on Mac.

This is 2 days old only as of 11 June 25.

Crying here as I depend on it sooo much; this is a work PC and DDG is my go-to for research.

Hi, I already know that Firefox, especially LibreWolf, is probably the best browser along with TOR and Brave about protecting against fingerprinting. However, after reading this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.00719 about browser fingerprinting via WebAssembly I am wondering if and how Firefox, LibreWolf, can protect us against it. I already read this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting, but I could not find any reference to such protection. Thank you

Hello. I just have a general question. I have read about it a little but I get mixed info. Some say yes, some say no.... So, is it possible to get a virus or malware or any of that spyware stuff on mobile phones like you can on a computer? Particularly Android phones. They have all these anti-virus apps and stuff you can download saying they're designed specifically for Android mobile devices but then I have read articles that say that the Android operating system is not the same as, let's say, a Windows PC operating system so it's not possible to download spyware onto it. I'm just curious and appreciate any info. Thank you!!

hi, i cant find an option to dismiss the new sidebar. it's pointless and i can switch all the buttons off, but now there is just an empty space at the side of my browser. very annoying. i hate the AI integration and i will not be recommending this browser to anyone in the future because of it. I have spent years convincing others to make the switch to firefox, but what's the point if it ends up just as toxic and useless as every other browser. disappointing.

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

I've been having issues with search bar suggestions, in particular a site which used to be in my bookmarks but has since been removed. I always use Firefox in private mode, so no history is saved either. In my search bar suggestions I allow bookmarks since there are several sites I often visit. (Also please don't visit the site, it's not a good one) Even so this particular site keeps showing up in the search bar suggestions, with no other trace of it elsewhere. I hope I could get some answers to this issue

Images in order - empty browsing history, no bookmarks of the particular site, bookmarks working properly, the search suggestion, and my search settings

Got upgraded to windows 11. Very frequently when I try and open a tab with Firefox, I can't open it. It's running, but stuck minimized. I can see the little mini version of it when i mouse over the shortcut on my taskbar. I've followed instructions of people who have also had this problem. I've deleted and renamed xulstore. The only thing that ever solves the problem when it comes up (which is often) is trying to uninstall firefox and then refreshing it instead.

This is kind of untenable though because I'd really rather not reinstall my plugins every day and get logged out of everything. What should I do to make this problem go away forever without constantly having to take time and reset firefox

I'm unable to access GroupOn from my laptop while using FireFox browser. When I attempt to log on using my Email user name, a message that states "ACCESS DENIED" appears. I have followed the steps to clear the cache but doesn't correct this issue. I'm able to access using my email user name using an alternative browser but I prefer FireFox. Currently running Windows 10. I receive emails from GroupOn using the same account that I attempt to log on with and receive the "ACCESS DENIED" response. Any knowledge would be appreciated

For about the past 24 hours when I go to youtube to check out a video - nothing works? I clicked on a video to play, got the sound and no picture. I closed out my browser and I kept getting the audio of the video and had to shut down my computer to stop it. Now when I go to a video nothing works. My cursor disappears when I go to chick on the video and I have to move it off to the side just to see my cursor.

I also use a service (VidIQ) that helps me see the tags on the right hand side of my screen for a video and the channel so that I can compare those tags to my videos that I am uploading.   Now that never load just a spinning dial or object like it is stuck.

I hope that you can get this fixed soon or let me know if there is something that I must do at my end.

Thank you,

I downloaded Firefox to update my address bar so that various search engines could be used. This was ok for the evening. But next time I booted up, FF reverted to what I had before. How do I make the address bar searches permanent. The FF version I am currently using is 139.0.4.

Recently the Temporary Cached File cannot be totally cleared, it remains always now at a minimum 2.6mb, why??? Before earlier this year it was 0mb when temp. cache cleared, what is going on?

i can't find the setting to have Firefox open a new tab when a site is selected from bookmarks. It is opening the bookmark site in the tab that the user is on at the time of opening bookmark site, thus overlaying the current site (tab). Thank you.

Hi,

I recently set a custom background image for the Firefox new tab page (and possibly the homepage), but now I’d like to remove or replace it.

I’ve already tried:

   Going to about:config and enabling the following:

       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.enabled → true

       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.ui.enabled → true

   Searching for a gear icon or any UI options on the new tab or homepage – but nothing appears.

I also checked about:preferences#home but there are no visible options to manage background images.

How can I remove or change the custom background image? I’d appreciate instructions, config paths, or a file location where I can delete the image manually.

Thank you! p.s. I'm stuck with a background image that makes my shortcuts unreadable and it's driving me crazy. 😅

Hi there, so my old laptop of 10 years, finally crossed the rainbow bridge! Dead in the water! I have a shiny new machine. And now I need all my passwords, etc. How can I make this happen? The old laptop is a goner, no hard drive, no nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I read other threads and most seem to talk about copying info from the old profile/whatever. I am unable to do that. Thanks in advance!!!!

In particular, this is running Firefox 139.0.4 (64-bit) under Windows 10, and finding a huge file and activity here: C:\Users\Lab\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4wyhpro4.default\cache2\entries And, if I simply delete everything there, it seems like it regenerates fairly quickly, whether I've been using the browser or not. What are these strange entries, which look like this growing list:
