My files are stored on external hard drives within Dropbox. The hard drives are mapped to my computer. I can no longer attach files from these drives to anything through Firefox. I can still attach through Chrome, Bing, Safari etc. Any suggestions how to solve this problem. I am NOT attaching through the Dropbox website. I am attaching through the full path showing drive etc. Thank you.

I had an unusual system crash, and when I restarted Firefox, the History > Restore Previous Session feature was grayed out. Due to the nature of my work, I had a large quantity of tabs open at the time of the crash (please don't judge). I then backed up the contents of the \Library\Application Support\Firefox\Profiles\[session].default\sessionstore-backups\ folder, but unfortunately not the full Profiles folder content. The file recovery.baklz4 does seem to contain my open session info (I can see a recent link in it). Based on web advice, I then tried restarting Firefox, but that didn't solve my issue. I also tried copying in sessionstore-backups files, without success. I then tried the "Session History Scrounger" web application to try and recover links from the contents of recovery.baklz4 because that worked for me in a prior crash years ago, but it doesn't seem to work properly anymore (it only retrieved 4 web pages). Appreciate any guidance as to how I can use my backed up sessionstore-backup files to re-enable Restore Previous Session, or alternatively to scrounge the links that were open at the time of the crash. Greatly appreciate your help! (Please do not suggest using "Show All History"... I have no plans to sort through a dump truck of rice with a pair of tweezers.)

It seems that after a recent Firefox version update (perhaps to 151.0.3), the "Clear cookies and site data" option is disabled for any container tab. This is really annoying as I like to use this feature often.

On Windows 10 Home I've been using Yahoo Finance to track stocks. After updating FF last week I have not been able to load graphs. I've tried refresh, reload, restart, remove cache but any graph shows "loading" or is blank content. Every idea except delete FF and reinstall. Other browsers I sometimes use do load the graphs no problem. What else can I try, or is this a bug? Thanks

My Merrill Lynch sign in password and user name do not appear. Add blockers are turned off and shield is down, cache has been cleared. The problem does not happen in MSFT Edge see attached picture

I followed the instructions to access Mozilla Firefox and nothing happened. Then there are unlimited instructions that lead me nowhere? It used to be so simple. That was the original Microsoft approach for new users.

Hi

I don't know which wrong manipulation I have done, but the "+" sign to create new tabs has disappeared.

Could you please help me to get it back ?

(I know that I can right-click and choose "new tab" in the menu, but the "+"sign is definitely more convenient 😅)

Thanks in advance ! :)

I'm on arch linux and sometimes my firefox search bar suggestions are just gone. When I type a web page that would be auto filled normally I don't get anything. This has happened to me a few days ago for the first time but I was able to restore the functionality by completely wiping my install, reinstalling, creating a new profile, disabling sync, restoring the old profile, enabling sync again and a few other steps I really don't remember anymore. This issue also does not allow me to save pages to my bookmarks anymore, no matter what I try. I really don't want to do the steps I listed above every few days so I just wanted to ask, what could possibly be the reason for this.

Mozilla repeatedly fails to connect to the server at https://hqpaperround.net/ which I need daily. It connects to any other website I request. I am using an old laptop after my shop desktop broke down. It has never connected to that site. Can you suggest why?

Non of the torproject.org site load on firefox they timeout. How do I access the torproject.org domains?

I suppose this is a kind of support question, of sorts, but in my opinion this also has to be treated as a complaint, in a sense.

About one and a half months ago, Firefox became unresponsive, that is, it became awfully slow. I experienced just about every issue with the browser that was mentioned in the following support pages and support issues (posted by others) and I read all of those :

Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors#w_the-problem-only-happens-with-certain-websites

firefox is extremely slow or fails to load sites

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1550371

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

Secure connection and security warning error pages in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect

An oddball situation had occurred in which I couldn't for the likes of me go to my librarything.com homepage at each restart of the previous Firefox session, which also causes lagging when the session wants to connect to the other (normally unproblematic) website session tabs, and I also get multiple connection errors + insecure connection notifications for some of these websites. (sometimes refreshing a page does not help, sometimes it does)

I got bored reading all those support pages and trying out the solutions, because nothing seemed to help. In the long run, I decided to de-install the whole browser after backing up bookmarks, speeddial settings, passwords and the whole profile. Simultaneously, I also tested the connectivity to these websites in another browser (Brave) and this did not present me with any problem.

So I did the following :

1) deleted the whole cache and closed the browser 2) uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller (which has an option to remove all remnant files / folders/ registry items on the Hard Drive) 3) made sure to remove all cached leftovers from HD by using multiple cleanup tools in succession : 1) Wise Disk Cleaner followed by 2) Bleachbit followed by 3) CCleaner

Went to the mozilla website, downloaded and installed the last version of FF. Next, imported bookmarks, speeddial settings and passwords. Next, reinstalled the Firefox extensions I used before (without any lag until one and a half months ago). I also did NOT copy the stored profile but decided on starting afresh with a new profile.

Everything worked lightning fast and efficiently until a few days ago, when I received an automatic update of Firefox - 151.0.3 - and all of a sudden, the same problems are reoccurring. And again, I can't connect to an unproblematic website like librarything.com, whereas before the update I was able to without any problem !!!

What the hell is going on with these auto-updates ???
