Firefox: форум сообщества

I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?

Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.

I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).

I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Сегодня обновил Mozilla FireFox до версии 146.0 (64-разрядный). После обновления в панели "закладки" (cntrl+B) появился ненужный мне цвет выделения только что открытой мною вкладки (смотри скриншот). Как поменять данный цвет на менее контрастный ? У меня включена "темная тема", цвет выделения - ядовито-голубой. Хочу изменить его на другой более мягкий цвет. Как это я могу сделать?

Today I updated Mozilla Firefox to version 146.0 (64-bit). After the update, the highlight color of the tab I just opened appeared in the bookmarks bar (Cntrl+B) in an unwanted way (see screenshot). How can I change this color to a less contrasting one? I have the "dark theme" enabled, and the highlight color is a bright blue. I want to change it to a softer color. How can I do this?

I can access Chewy with Safari, but not with Firefox. So the problem is not with my Mac settings and the problem is not with Chewy, the problem is with Firefox. Please address and fix it.

OK so, I just updated Firefox to 115.34 Oesr (64-bit) on my Windows 7 Desktop. Before this update, it's been my practice to clear my cookies manually from unknown websites about 3 times a day, only keeping the "exception" cookies. But, since the update, there have been SOOO many cookies...something like 75 to 100 and EACH time I manually clear the cookies...even just minutes after I clear it and refresh the "Settings" page they appear again. And, the worst of it is that Google won't let me sign into Google websites like Play Store and Google.com search saying that "there has been unusual traffic..." and makes me solve capchas all day long. Other sites too say Unusual traffic like CVS and won't let me sign in either. And now, I'm not using a VPN.

I googled the matter and it was said to be was a known issue with the 115 update and the A.I. said to get rid of the ad blocker as a possible fix but, it didn't work. Have Firefox clear cache and cookies but that didn't work, changing "Tracking Protection" to "Standard". Nothing works. Is there an update fixing this issue? By the way, I have had Firefox set to clear cache and cookies upon closing. But the cookies pile up so quickly again. Thanks for your help

Hi,

I searched the web for deleting the item "Weitere Lesezeichen" in the sidebar. I found only solutions for the firefox 85. In Firefox 85 should be a field for hiding this. Although in Firefox 150 it can`t be hided or deleted. I don`t need and I don`t want this "Weitere Lesezeichen". Any solutions?

Hi all,

After the last update the former Mozilla Test Pilot "Snooze Tabs" isn't working for me any more, I tell a tab to snooze and it just stays where it is. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/snoozetabs/

I've tried running with addons disabled and then running with addons active again and the behaviour is the same. It's the same behaviour whether I run from the toolbar or the context menu.

I'm presuming this problem is related to Firefox update mechanics. Any suggestions for how to get this working again please?

Cheers :)

This has happened randomly on several different computers, both windows and ubuntu linux. It just now happened on my Win 11 computer. Was viewing the CNN news site and FF suddenly closed, without a "FF crashed..." message.When I clicked the icon to reopen it, it came up with the home page group of tabs instead of reopening the windows and tabs that were opened when it crashed. Worse, none of the previous months of history shows up and recently closed tabs and windows are both greyed out.

Is there a way of recovering the history of what I was working on at the time of the crash and what the hell is causing this? I am close to dumping FF and going with something else as this is highly annoying.

For 24 hours now I have not been able to connect to Facebook via Firefox browser on my laptop at all. I can connect on my phone, but not my laptop. I've made sure there are no extensions on my browser, my firewall is off, all cookies and cache have been cleared, I even Uninstaller Firefox and reinstalled it. When I try to bring up Facebook, nothing happens. It won't even bring the page up. All other websites work fine. I can't even bring up Facebook to clear the caches in Facebook per the troubleshooting guide. It says to open Dacwbook and click the lock on the address bar, but I can't even open Facebook. What am I missing here?

with the last and now the most recent Facebook versions i ahve beem having problems with Facebook, now it may be Facebook but i have it more on Firefox even with extentions shut off i get i what is it please help

in the last week or so anytime I click on a page a new tab will open with junk ads or a popup will come up on the screen and block content. They can be closed and deleted but it happens continually no matter what settings I have or preferences set. I have pop up blocker toggled in the settings and I have a Mozilla ad blocker but it is not working. Please help! this is really annoying!

I am getting a message that secure connection failed, it is happening for Amazon.com and maybe netflix as I can't log on or access the sites

A radio station https://www.wfmt.com/schedule/ that has run successfully until today in Firefox no longer does, There is momentary blip of sound but then silence. It runs fine in Chrome. Another station continues to run successfully in Firefox

The Firefox icon on the taskbar on my PC suddenly appeared to have a 'rosette' stuck to it. I didn't understand what was happening? I decided it was not relevant to me and while I was attempting to get rid of it, I unintentionally deleted my personal profile in "Profiles"! This contained many important bookmarks and the important password manager extension. I am not very technical, but please can you show me how to recover my profile? Many thanks, Norman Clarke

On my home screen, the visited sites are all crammed to one side, lower left, and all narrow in their appearance. I prefer they look as they did before, with the "tabs" or site boxes along the bottom of my regular sites. And I can't seem to "delete" the sites I visit; I can only dismiss them. And that often doesn't work as well either.

I Can't log in to my for Firefox on my new Linux Mint laptop. It's asking 2FA but I can't see it on my proton authenicator. My username and password are ok. Then the 2FA box pops up asking me for the 2FA code. And I can't log in now to sync my Android Firefox with my Linux Mint Firefox. I recall setting up 2FA some years ago on Proton but don't recall ever using g it other than one. Can you please help?

I was doing some work, when suddenly everything slowed, I checked my Activity Monitor, and it showed Firefox at nearly 20 Gigs of RAM & about 30% of CPU usage! I opened the Task Manager, and it only showed Firefox using 2 Gigs, and 25% of CPU. After a few minutes, the memory usage just as suddenly dropped down to the 2 Gigs as shown in Task Manager, and things seemed to be back to normal.

Why did this happen? I did nothing that would cause a spike, didn't open any new videos, or other high memory usage pages, or applications. I have seen FF showing a similar 20 Gigs of RAM usage, slowing everything down, several times recently, and wonder what could be causing these sudden spikes.
