I moved to the Firefox flatpack after the Debian version couldn't display the code inspector/ web developer tools anymore (it was blank amid other likely javascript-based rendering errors). I only include this context in case some one else has the issue and searches for it.

I want to sync all my tabs from the Debian version to the flatpack version and similar to this solved issue I cannot access those tabs from the firefox view. However I am also unable to access these tabs from the sidebar. I am only able to access these tabs from the account menu but this would have me open each tab individually which is not feasible for me.

Is there a way to fix the "Check your internet connection If you’re using a firewall or proxy, check that Firefox has permission to access the web." error that comes up in both the Tabs from other devices sidebar and Firefox View menu?

Hi all,

For quite a while I'm working together with others on a voluntary base (nobody gets money) as members of a computer-club, a charitable NGO and NPO (in German: gemeinnütziger Verein) for seniors in order to bring them closer to the use of digital devices and media. It's not only teaching, but administrating the hard- and software as well.

I can remember that it was possible in former versions of Firefox to include at least a script into "defaults->prefs". I think it was user.js (not sure) in the installation folder to define common preferences to be fixed, like proxi settings. It always worked well, preventing non-privileged users from making any unwanted changes. As a I found out there must have been a very similar way to include add-ons (like uBlock Origin).

Unfortunately all content I found was older than about 10 years. When trying setting up Firefox as it is now, my test system didn't care about anything I've tried.

I'm talking about > 50 Windows-PC having in average 3 user profiles each (for teaching more than 400 members). We are amateurs regarding PC administration, except some network ex-professionals. "Baking" installation media including our needs, as I already found on Mozilla's pages, seems to be beyond our abilities as well as distributing a fitting profile (we don't have a MS-server), not speaking about Group Policies.

Is there any usable guideline for people like us? Today, each FF-installation looks different and I would like to unify this as easy as possible.

I recently installed Win 11 on a new Acer Aspire (with MSI MAG244F monitor) but the issue seems to be present on my Acer Nitro 5 with built-in monitor as well.

I don't think it's an Acer issue but I am only running Win 11 on the two Acer machines. If I open a web page with colored graphics or pictures and then drop down a menu of the browser (bookmarks, etc.) the colors of the graphics bleed through. It's annoying and somewhat obstructive. It does not occur if a window from a different app is opened on top of the browser window no matter how bright the colors are.

I attached a few edited screenshots to show the issue. The edits are only to cover personal information etc.

The issue seems to be color saturation and does not occur on my other Win 10 machines or in other browsers. Not even the same version Firefox on the Win 10 machines.

Is there a way to increase the opacity of the drop downs or lower the color saturation in the Firefox browser?

I was customizing my background by loading a picture. It's adult in nature. It should be my computer in my in my private home. When something amazing started happening. If I load ANY image with a naked woman on it After a few minutes Fire fox auto removes it. I have done this 30 times. I use ANY fire fox picture it's fine stays there forever. Load ANY picture with a naked woman on it and poof 2 minutes later it's gone. So please can you explain to me why whats claimed to be the most private and secure browser around is censoring me in my own home about what backgrounds I can have? I find this highly disturbing. And I am quite serious I have had them removed at least 30 times. I'm 56 y/o If I want a naked woman on my background it should be my business not fire foxes. Also no chrome is not doing it. neither is windows. It's Firefox removing them. Any explanation would be nice.

Hello, any best practices for converting Firefox bookmarks once they're exported? The exported_bookmarks.html are an html file which are impossible to edit. Converting so the data for folders, titles and urls can be edited is what's needed.

I tried Vi with some Regex code, however the cleaned file is not so clean.

Hello, editing Bookmarks is a manual process within Firefox Bookmarks. I would like to export sub folders and edit them on my preferred desktop text editors, then re-import said edited Firefox Bookmarks folder.

I have tried Firefox sub folder:

• dragging and dropping to Desktop, however fails
• copying/pasting to Desktop, however fails
• AI promises the world like a conservative politician's gish gallop, but nothing works and wrecks the current setup.

I have exported the entire Bookmaks.html file, however editing html to text, then somehow only text remained without urls. So now I have restored from an old 3rd party's bookmarks and need to clean what Bookmarks are left. Sub folder management would be easier than entire Bookkmarks.html.

Internet searches for Firefox support/forums shows https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/forums/ and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/

Searching around these links is too difficult to find where to post any questions, which happens to be on this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/

Please make UX friendlier.

A website has moved a while ago, but when I type in the first few letters, I still get the URL to the now defunct site suggested. I tried long-pressing the entry under "Firefox Suggest", but do not get any options to remove it.

Since the defunct URL starts with the same 10 or so characters as the new one, I always have to type a lot to get to the correct page. On the other hand, I use it to rarely to warrant a bookmark.

I have always found it so easy to browse on my iPhone then send a page to OS for easier (larger screen) reading. This capability seems to be gone after my recent update to iOS. Am I correct or how do I do that now? Both browsers are up to date as far as I can tell. I am attaching my current menu page.

I sometimes spend an extraordinary amount of time writing a forum entry or online email -- sometimes 5+ hours -- just to get it to say exactly what I want it to say. And all too frequently, I accidentally press C-W (the delete-word key on my editor), and my work is instantly gone. I spent several days attempting to solve this problem. Apparently I'm not the only one who has lost data this way. Entries on Reddit pointed me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1378404#answer-1510431. I followed the instructions carefully, and double-checked my work, but C-W still kills my current tab. The issue had been archived, but not solved.

I am a programmer (but certainly not in JavaScript), so I try to take technically complex solutions in stride. But after letting things percolate thru my mind for a few days, I realized that I'm not being fair. FireFox is marketed for public consumption. And it's not fair to my sisters, my mother, or other folks who have never programmed anything in their life, to pretend like a solution that might have worked for me (but didn't), would be even a little bit comprehensible to them. I was particularly struck, by something that the moderator said -- not by his words, per se, but by the perspective that his words revealed:

--- Only closing a window (Ctrl+Shift+W) could possibly make Firefox display a warning, closing a tab is always done without a --- warning as you can reopen a closed tab via Ctrl+Shift+T.

Who would know that? I would venture to guess that 99% of FireFox's users don't even know that you can control FireFox from your keyboard -- let alone actually want to do it. People control their browsers with their mouse. They use their keyboards only to type in forum entries and such, or to scroll up/down thru a webpage. I can see where devs might prefer to control/test FireFox from their keyboards, but I'm surprised that they would leave tens of undocumented shortcuts lying about like landmines that everyday users could stumble onto.

So I'm requesting that FireFox disable Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Shift+W (which are the most dangerous shortcuts), by default. Ideally, it would provide an about:config entry so that devs could re-enable those shortcuts if they wish to. By the way, the referenced support entry lists only 1 person with this problem, and only 6 replies. But it lists 2124 views.

Thank you

Presently 142.0.1 (64-bit) installed; previous updates/downloads had no problems.

Now, however, going to https://www.firefox.com/en-US/?utm_campaign=SET_DEFAULT_BROWSER and attempt a download results in this (image).

Any solution to this?

Thank you.

I had renewed my subscription for MS365 on Tuesday the 30th when I got a popup inviting me to update Firefox to the latest release. I agreed and the download appeared to have worked. However, I soon found I could not access any of the MS365 apps. I restarted and found Firefox had also disappeared. The icons are present in the list of apps but clicking on them gets no response.

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox and downloaded a new MS365 with no change.

I have Norton online antivirus and the MS365 comes with continuous Defender using Malwarebytes. (I am running down the remaining Norton subscription). I have also used both to do a sweep on each but no problems were found.

I have Outlook which has not been affected.

I am coming to the conclusion that I may need to do a full deletion of both. Can anyone suggest any other way to deal with this?

Firefox crashed. I am trying to get it to how I had it before this. One of the problems is the new tabs thing. I know about CTRL-T, I have not used it. I have used the + on the tabs for years. I know, big deal, it's just inconvenient, interrupts my train of thought to switch, which is no big deal. But if anyone has a moment and can answer, it would be a blessing for me. Thank you.

when I try to open a particular website, firefox keeps blocking it and says its an error. I cannot open this website. how do i get passed this.

I have no other devices to "sync" to. This may or may not be why my "passwords" in Firefox have been locked down as I can not now log into my hotmail.com account. Passwords are visible in Firefox except for the passkey which I can't seem to delete. I need to either see it or delete it. Also, it won't do any good to send a response to the e-mail linked to Mozilla. I had to create a new temporary account to try to get MS to restore my hotmail.com account. The storing of Passwords by Firefox is not helpful to me & I do not want it & need to turn it off. Thanks for help in this multilayered mess of software I'm using.

1. For a start you might do what you implicitly claim - restore open windows on all screen "spaces".

2. But recognising that you have never done this (& I have used Firefox on Macs for a long time) perhaps you could be honest and warn us both before and after a reboot.

(If there is a power outage or apple reboot, an apple "app" tends to be reopened, not usually on my preferred space. Other apps & processes are mostly not reloaded or restarted (another irritation), Firefox is somewhere in between.

3. I do of course take various measures to avoid time in reinstating "where was I", (so I bookmark all regular tabs on each space that I use for a particular type of activity, eg space 4 is booking regular sport-like venues, with a weather check tab too), but perhaps the whizz kids at mozilla, could think about how to help slow old guys like me recover from unexpected distractions & outages, etc.

Madam or Sir,

I do not know what happens but since a few days I cannot access any more https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ which is crucial for my work.

Since I am blind, could you please help me.

I thank you in advance

Best regards
