Forum Bashkësie Firefox

6/21/26 This morning I could not open my FireFox browser, unless i created a Profile. I was forced to use the Profiles Wizard to create a Profiles; when i finished all my Bookmarks had disappeared. Which was a great shock, had lots of Bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, & Other Bookmarks, I need to get those Bookmarks back !! >>More info: I had Hibernated my Dell 15 laptop overnight. This morning when I turned on the laptop, I got the above message that I had to create a Profile, which I did, which made all my bookmarks to DISAPPEAR !! I need them back!

I find that my desktop browser firefox is very slow or doesn't work at all on a lot of websites like amazon or fortnine.

My internet connection and computer are not the issue: 270Mbps (wired connection) Processor AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16 GB) Storage 3.58 TB of 10.92 TB used System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor (Windows 11)

My old PC and my mobile phone runs these website fine.

Sometimes the website will work for a moment, but stop and just load for ever after I open a new tab or clink a link. My task manager doesn't show any ethernet usage despite the tabs indicating they are trying to load. Refreshing the tabs does nothing and no matter how long I leave them they don't load. All my drivers, OS and programs are up to date. I have disabled my enhanced tracking protection and I don't have any adblockers. I have tried using the CMD "ipconfig -renew" and using ccleaner to clear out my cookies and cache but, nothing seems to have any lasting effect.

I am losing my mind trying to fix this. Why can I not browse the internet on my PC?

Any help on this would be amazing and much appreciated.

Sincerely, Calvin

I have used 4 rows of site icons on my home page for years. (Linux FF since 2013, various distros.)

After an update, they became tiny AND so close to the bottom that a zoom of even 110 percent was unacceptable. (I prefer 100 percent.) 100 cut off the labels at the bottom.

I deleted my search bar from homepage yesterday, and had already deleted top stories and weather years ago.

Several searches over the last few days have done nothing.

Screenshot of zoom at 110 and straight 100.

My bookmarks have disappeared. I have followed the steps to restore them under the FAQ, but at Step 2 ("In the Library window, click the import-export-arrows button and then select Restore"), when I click Restore, no list of backups appears from which to select the one I want to restore. I have been using Firefox for years and have loads of useful bookmarks. How can I get them back?

I have no bookmarks on my firefox home page; CCleaner removed them. I have since stopped using CCleaner, but I'm trying to restore the home page bookmarks. I see the "+" sign, and when I click it, a box form opens. I enter the site name and URL, and click submit, but nothing is created. I have rebooted and tried many times, but the add button does not do anything. I only want 5 or 6 links, but I can't even place one.

On one frequently used website "objectremover.com", Firefox always fails to load the site, giving this error message "This page couldn’t load, Reload to try again, or go back." There is never any indication of why the page could not be loaded. We are on Windows 7 and extended Firefox release. This site could always be loaded in Firefox until one of the most recent updates. This problem has happened on more than one of our computers, yet the site always loads without a problem on Chrome. If this is caused by one of my settings being too strict, is there a way to put in an exception for this site?

Hey all,

at shell:startup on windows i will open firefox two times (first for multimedia like tv-stream and maston, second for "working activities" like webmail, office online).

How can i open by file explorer link (like in shell:startup) a new tab (newspaper) everytime in instance "first" even if i was using second at last?

I am happy that FF has added great PDF capabilities. I have a problem with signatures. When I add my signature as an image, the result is a very poor resolution / quality signature image. Adobe Reader inserts the signature as a very high resolution / quality image.

Is there any update / solution to this? FYI I am using the same signature image but FF makes it BW and poor quality while Adobe Reader maintains the color and resolution.

When I long press shortcut and choose remove, it does not remove. Some will others won’t. I don’t think it is a sponser shortcut because I think I originally put it there.

HP INTEL LAPtop: Windows 11 Fails two sequential video mp4 links using basic html Video code

Works in iphone firefox,safari,opera,PC Edge but NOT PC firefox.

1st link good 2nd fails ERROR MSG no video with supported format and mime type found. Also had same problem in Windows 10 last year. This on an HTML 4.01 we site.

This is the 3rd time I have had to post this. I am getting very frustrated. I DO NOT want the search engine within my address bar. Nothing anyone from you "community" helped to disable the search engine in my address bar. Opera, Edge, Chrome, the user can disable the search engine in the address bar. Why is Firefox so different? And difficult?

I've been using Firefox to display and print PDF files for some months but suddenly it no longer works for me, The particular document I'm trying to print has 10 pages, each full of colorful images and text. I've been printing issues of this same periodical for months using Firefox with no difficulty. Now the pages look fine, but as soon as I try to print them I get 10 postage-stamp sized images, each in the center of its own, largely blank page. Can anybody help?

version 152.0.2 (64-bit) "up to date"

idk, what i did, but i assume it's most likely user error. but i don't even know where to go from where i'm at.

ok, i'm going to attempt to identify what is happening. [guess] .pdf website previews are messing up the font when converting the .pdf to an image asset for the website to use as a current web asset, when the .pdf is updated. (makes sense really, smart drag & drop update of a .pdf menu, has instruction to make the end users browser do the work for you. kind of a one and done webpage coding for older guys that can't type, let alone edit Html, or even use Wix. some people just don't "compute" hard R or not. lol )

i don't even know where to start. i mean Mozilla is probably referencing it's own "lib.moz" which is just probably it's own personal link to an existing Lib file so it can pull it in and do what it needs to do with it without Root etc.

that is probably working fine as it renders (opens) the .pdf fine whence it's downloaded it. so all that i've talked about might not be the problem.

there is probably some mozilla function calling that to convert the .pdf as an image web asset so that it can show a preview of the current .pdf available for download.

that converter is messing up the font recognition, and building a preview image with messed up font characters (why it looks like Wing-Dings). but i don't even know where to start, and i don't think a new install will solve this (kinda overkill, and any residual files may still remain.)

i'm adding a fastfetch

Mozilla Firefox 152.0.1 " updates are manage by your operating system."

[[i somewhat found an "answer" though i'd hardly call that "solved."|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1275786#answer-1276068]]

i still say a Lib in a repo needs updated, within, or perhaps up stream of the project to reflect "commonly used fonts" if applicable (i know that's the trick, 'is it FOSS') yet other browsers use it, though idk if they're FOSS... i'd need to know what i'm looking for to confirm that or not, and do something about that (again most likely upstream, as the PDF Viewer is probably it's own project (or even several), retooled by Mozilla for Firefox.

Widgets had been working well for me up until today, when I discovered that none of the widgets below my shortcuts were loading. In the widget settings, they're activated, but only weather shows up (in the top right corner). What am I doing incorrectly?
