Hello- seriously doubt there is any help for this, but I can't be the only one this has happened to:

I wanted to delete the last 2 hours of a firefox session only- the session has been ongoing for a month, with 100 of what were - to me- important tabs open. Session Restore on FireFox was turned on and it always works.

But tonight, I wanted to delete only about last 2 hours of history. So I thought to use the FORGET button. I set the app to 'forget' the last 2 hours of browsing history. And hit the button. and: ALL tabs- All tabs- every one for last month- Gone in a blink. Gone.

Perhaps the onus is, at least inn part, on me: This exact issue happened to me before- but I guess i had cast that soul-killing memory out of my mind; at least, till a few years later, tonight, when it just happend again.

But- It's been years !! And the forget button is still a catastophic trap, still luring fools like me, hiding in plain sight as a button on FF toolbar. That's true- right on the toolbar is a helpful, harmless-looking button that can ruin your life.

A catastrophy that has been built into FireFox for years- and still not fixed.

I did think that if the button had a problem years ago - and in a different version of Windows [last time it happened I was using XP], must be fixed by now- Honestly- I did think that.

-Has anyone else experienced this utterly demoralizing experience with FireFox "forget"?

-Is there any hope to recover the last session? [There are NO Profiles at all now, saved in the "Profiles" folder]

Again- any hope? Anyone else have this problem?

It's been years! Why is this MAJOR minefield even still prosperng in Firefox?

My Last Pass toolbar icon disappeared from Firefox toolbar and I can't get it back

Hello, I have Firefox 128 installed on Window10 Pro v. 22H2 fully up to date. I have LastPass: Free Password Manager extension in my Firefox.

Up until 2 days ago I had an icon on my toolbar for the LastPass extension that I could click after opening Firefox to login to LP. It has worked fine for years. It was that way when I shut down my computer that night. The next morning when I opened FF, that icon was gone. LP still shows in my Add-ons manager as Enabled. To the best of my knowledge, nothing on my comp updated in that time period.

I tried clicking the 'Extensions' button in the FF toolbar, but all it did was to open the "Recommendations" tab of my Add-ons manager. Previously, clicking the 'Extensions' button in my toolbar would show a menu of extensions including LP. I would get an option to show an LP icon in my toolbar. That worked as recently as a few weeks ago when I wiped my hard drive and did a fresh install of Windows.

I tried removing and reinstalling the exension. It made no change. Next I fully removed Firefox with the Remove Programs option in the Windows control panel, then removed all traces of FF in my Windows user profile. Then rebooted. Then DL'ed Firefox fresh from the FF site and re-installed it. Twice. No icon shows up, and the 'Extensions' button continues to do nothing but send me to the 'Recommendations' tab of the add-ons manager.

I had a few other extensions installed as well as LP at the time this problem arose. But when I re-installed Firefox, I only installed LP and tried to get its icon showing before installing any other extensions, just to be sure there was no conflict.

Can you offer any suggestions to help?

Thank you.

To optimize performance and ensure cross-browser compatibility in complex web applications, several best practices can be implemented:

   Use Responsive Design: Employ responsive web design techniques to ensure that your application functions well on various screen sizes and devices. This approach enhances user experience across different platforms.
   Minimize HTTP Requests: Reduce the number of HTTP requests by combining files (like CSS and JavaScript) and using image sprites. This can significantly improve loading times.
   Leverage Browser Caching: Implement caching strategies to store frequently accessed resources, which can speed up load times for returning users.
   Test Across Multiple Browsers: Regularly test your application on various browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) to identify and fix compatibility issues early in the development process.
   Optimize Images and Assets: Use appropriate image formats and compression techniques to reduce file sizes without compromising quality, which can enhance loading speed.
   Utilize Best Application Development Services: Partner with experts who provide the best application development services to incorporate performance monitoring and optimization tools into your development workflow.

By following these practices, developers can create robust applications that not only perform well but also deliver a consistent experience across different browsers. Engaging with the community to share insights and experiences can further enhance our collective understanding of effective application development strategies.

I have tried to log into my google accounts on the browser, but everytime I press the sign in button on the google homepage, it takes me to google's "clear cache" website. However, signing in works normally on a private window. I have tried clearing my cache multiple times and it keeps taking me back to the cache page.

Hi, as the title say, I would like to find a way, to trigger the Update the same way by command line as if it would be triggered by the automatic mechanism or the user in "about Firefox".

The reason is, that we´ve recently mass activated automatic updates and I would like to test on 100+ machines without relying on users action.

Thanks

Hi, with every new firefox update, the firefox icon no longer remains in the taskbar. Firefox now must be manually located in programs and then re-pinned to the taskbar (and/or to the start-menu or desktop if that's your preference).

Prior to this year the shortcuts always copied across with each update, but no longer. Is this a Firefox issue, or a Microsoft issue? I run Windows 10 on my PC.
