Forum Bashkësie Firefox

I decided to switch back to "mainline". Opened Firefox after a while. Got a prompt to change my new tab wallpaper, I said no.

Closed and reopened Firefox. Then my new tab page was besmirched with "soccer" score nonsense.

What hidden/non-obvious setting do I need to change to have ALL of this and ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY LIKE IT off FOREVER? I will never EVER want ANY suggestions for ANYTHING for the rest of time. I turned everything I could think of, including the labs or whatever off but this still came up.

Firefox uses firefox icon instead of website icon. Can change it thru properties/change icon but every time i make a shortcut i have to change it if i want the right one.

i was just opening a page and it kept saying Firefox running but not responding and then i gt the photo i am showing you what is it and why see photo being downloaed by another insrtance ??

Since version 154, my 2017 Macbook Air running MacOS Monterey causes my fans to be always on. The battery preferences says "Using significant amount energy." I've turned off all AI features.

I was in the middle of setting up a secondary profile with sync when the browser froze and became unresponsive for a few minutes. I killed the task and reopened the profile, it lacked the theme color I'd chosen and sync was not enabled. When trying to enable sync, I got the error message shown in the screenshot. To be clear, the profile it's asking me to switch to 'is' the profile I'm in. I've tried deleting the profile and the associated files from About:Profiles, but this issue persists.

I've also followed the steps contained in this issue and associated issues, but the profileID already matches: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1581151

How can I resolve this so that I can sync this profile?

Thank you to JBR, who posted an answer to your question "All bookmarks disappeared. I found my json backup files. How can I import this file into Mz, now that it has created a new, dysfunctional 'profile' ??"

Unfortunately, the reply does NOT help. I have been through all the posted replies to missing bookmarks, and NONE help.

On my own, I found the bookmark backup files, and noticed that ONLY the newly imposed profile has any of those files. So I have access to those .json files, but my question remains: HOW to get that file back into Mz????? None of the posted replies, including your own, even pose this question. In short, after the newest Mz update, the 'restore' or 'import' bookmarks function(s) DO NOT WORK AT ALL!!!

I am sorry, but this problem appears to have been caused by Mz and its latest update; it's for Mz to fix, ASAP !!!

Perhaps I should mention, I'm far from computer- or OS-illiteracy, and am getting ever more fed up with software 'developers' who keep adding more bells and whistles which degrade functionality. I'm a long-standing touch-typist and am significantly faster than any OS's directory trees. Forget AI, I've no need of it.

With sincere best wishes, despite my current frustrations,

I have downloaded downloaded language packs English UK and French France, but when I spell check in Mozilla the only option in the open menu for language there is only English US to use even though the other two preferred languages have been downloaded. Am I missing a trick to activate the languages so that they show in my language menu when spell checking?

Very frustrating that I only have a default of US considering I am in France and use French and UK English.

In a Private tab in strict mode (on Linux), I log into my Google account, then log out, clear all the cookies and cached data (Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> tick all the boxes and clear everything), open a new private tab, go to the gmail website and it still remembers my account. However, if I quit Firefox and re-open it, then Google no longer remembers the account.

What information is deleted when I quit Firefox that is not deleted when I manually clear the cookies/cache/local data? Does anyone know why Google can still remember my account when I manually clear all the browsing data but not after I quit Firefox?

Thank you!

After the last update, Firefox will not load pages after 2 or 3 successful web searches. Once i close and then reopen Firefox it will work again for 2 or 3 web searchs via the dialog box

Using the latest Firefox update with Windows 10. I've got three popups in the lower right corner of my screen (see uploaded image), and each refreshes periodically with a musical phrase that sounds like a smartphone notification. Though each says "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left hand corner, the popups are present whether the browser is open or not. All three say, "via da75iiinaffc73ar8f20.yird-protect.pro".

I've already gone to Settings, cleared my History, made the recommended changes in Permissions and Data, and closed and reopened the browser. The popups remain.

Sometimes, for seemingly no reason, Firefox will force two tabs to combine. I do not want this. Ever. And I am sick and tired of it constantly appearing. It is extremely distracting and I want to disable it but can't find a way to turn it off. How do I turn it off?
