Firefox Community Forum

I wish to add an exception to an address which I host locally. I've explored many options which didn't work such as: Adding HTTPS-Only Exception Disabling certain security features

Some of my shortcut icons dissappeared. And I can no longer see a "plus" icon to add more. I had more than 4 rows. How do I return my firefox page to how it looked?

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

All of my history except of today's has disappeared. I did not erase my history, and really need it back. I did try to remove a couple of sites from my Most Visited, as Firefox was saving all sorts of sites I don't really visit often. In addition, I am being asked to sign in with my password at every site I go to where as before I was automatically allowed to enter, as all my passwords are saved. What happened - and how can I get back to normal?

Contributor note: bookmarks are also missing (/questions/1578816).

I'm experiencing an intermittent issue with Firefox and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it.

Occasionally, Firefox stops loading pages in new tabs. If I open a new tab and try to navigate to any website, it won't load, it'll state "waiting for www.[anywebsite].com" forever. However, if I use a tab that was already open before the issue started, I can still navigate to different websites from that tab without any problems.

The only reliable fix I've found is to completely close Firefox and start it again.

One strange thing I've noticed is that, sometimes while this issue is happening, if I put my laptop to sleep and then wake it up again, Firefox starts working normally, including in new tabs, without needing to restart the browser. But this isn't a something that works everytime.

I've already gone through the troubleshooting steps in the Mozilla Support article "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can", but none of the suggested solutions resolved the issue.

I also tried disabling all my extensions, one by one, but the problem still occurs.

Has anyone seen this behavior before or knows what could cause it?

Additional information:

Firefox version: 152.0.2 (64-bit) (currently shows an available update requiring a restart, but it never seems to update even when enforced restarting) Operating system: Windows 1p Pro Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

I'd appreciate any answers

I have been told to disable my ad-blocker by some commercial web sites and I understand that. But I am also not seeing charts and other non-ad items on web sites such as this one: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/alcohols-health-myth-over-how-tell-patients-2026a1000map?ecd=wnl_tp10_daily_260703_MSCPEDIT_etid8475291&uac=146695DK&impID=8475291. I don't want to change my default browser but this is a recent development that seems to be impairing my viewing of pertinent items placed on legitimate web sites. Could you please tell me how to adjust my browser settings to stop this from happening? Thank you! Best regards, Bill Strike

My VPN Subscription ceased as I am no longer able to Use Mozilla VPN on desktop or android.. I have updated, downloaded new and can neither access on desktop or android. When I was able to log in, I found NO Active subscription, yet I have the receipt showing I should. I found a "MOZILLA" support page that stated how to recover, yet it was out of date and did NOT accurately show the same screen that I see. It shows that an "Already Subscribed" link should be on the page that shows the subscription packages. However, there is NO SUCH link on either my desktop or android app. I have the invoice (#5DF026AB-004) dated February 26, 2026 for an total amount of 90.67 with card ending in 9143. And it has been working fine till about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have sent 2 emails to vpn_support@mozilla.com with NO response or action taken. Therefor I have little faith that this ticket will get any more attention. However, it if does..... thank you -thank you. And I hope you can get my subscription back on line as this has greatly hampered my business operations as I am constantly out of country. I also feel that I am not out of line by asking for some credit as for this has been a problem for many weeks. I paid for a service which I have not been able to use, or even get adequate support to fix and have spent countless time and effort dealing with this issue.

I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first.

My preferred situation then would be to have a menu in the tab where I may choose a translation. In the case of a multi-lingual site I want to have those languages as additional options on top - with an indicator for the sites default language. So I may first choose the sites language, then (possibly) into which that is translated into.

But at present I can use only the settings of preferred language for multi-lingual sites, never knowing what language was the base for the content. (Presumably the most accurate content of the website.) And I can add languages for translation and sort them, while - weirdly - I cannot delete them later as there's no control element for getting rid of (maybe accidentally) downloaded ones.

Is there a solution already? Did I miss something in the settings? And: Where is the „translation panel“ to which the settings „Translations - More translation settings“ refer to in the block „Never translate these sites“?

I cannot group tabs on Firefox android (mobile). I am on version 152.0.4. Whenever I try to group tabs by hovering one tab over another, it just shifts the other tab away. Theres also no selection for making a group when I press select tabs. I tries everything; from going to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml (there was no setting for browser.tabs.groups.enabled) to going into secret settings and pressing control for tab groups android rollout. (I asked AI for help and followed close to all of its steps) Please help!

Logged on to find this message. Followed "Fix" set as best I could (I am puter dumb) with no joy. "Manage Bookmarks" is completely blank. All wits end, Please HELP!
