Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm using Mozilla's Firefox Debian package, Firefox 155.0.1 (64-bit), on a desktop. Until this version, my compose key worked with no problem, in Firefox and all other applications. Now it works with all other applications, but not Firefox.

My .bashrc includes this line: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

I checked about:config, and focusmanager.testmode is set to false.

Any ideas? I can't type my name without the compose key...

Closing a few tabs help but I want to know what is causing it. IS there a way to check which tab or extension is causing it? I am using latest firefox on windows 11.

Has anybody else experienced a similar problem? Or can you help me trouble shoot this issue please?

I'm busy playing audio in a tab of the browser. The sound quality is good (rich, full, deep). Next, I open a new window by any means (Ctrl+N / Open link in new window / Menu > New window) As the new window appears, the current audio playback becomes tinny / lower quality. After a 3 seconds, the normal good sound quality starts again.

I'm currently using Bluetooth connected headphones and this happens on different headphones. I have to find some wired headphones first before I can try that. This happens with every new window that I open, regardless of the number of open tabs in current windows or how many previous open windows I already have. This happens regadless if audio enhancements of the output device are enabled or not. Spatial sound is set to off. Windows is set to 'do nothing' & will not adjust the volumes of different sounds when I'm using my PC to place or receive telephone calls.

OS: Windows 11 with latest patches Firefox: latest & older builds Hardware drivers: All manufacturer drivers applied

PS I can replicate this issue by changing between the 'Playback' & 'Recording' tab in the Sound Control Panel applet. That is to say, the same decrease in audio quality happens when I change from the Playback tab to the Recording tab. Audio quality improves again when I change from the Recording tab to the Playback tab https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2026-09-12-15-38-23-1accad.png

Help! My bookmarks tool bar is missing & I cant recover it because your instructions for locating the menu bar don't match what your instructions display. There is NO AltGr displays a bookmark menu BUT I CANT MOVE IT TO MY TOOL BAR. There is NO selected tab, NO menu bar; NO bookmark tool displayed. I have also lost all of my downloads. This has happened in the last month; everything was fine. I am 82 years old & NOT a techie so expect better help than I have received so far during the last frustrating 2 hours of trying to follow Firefox instructions that DO NOT APPLY TO ME. Also the "add images" function @ bottom of this page won't let me send you a copy of the instructions you display to select the bookmark menu bar ... I click on the picture of the problem & nothing happens ... just dead no access to select pictures either.

I have NOT changed my internet provider; I have not changed any settings. This all happened two weeks ago. Called internet provider & they said it was Firefox issue!!! Very unhappy.

I usually have checked the option for clearing cookies and site data every time I close Firefox. However there is an exception list where I add sites I visit often and I prefer to keep its browsing data. This list of exceptions seems to be ignored. The sites I have in the list lose all their browsing data.

The only solution I have found so far is not check the option to clear browsing data.

I remember this function stopped working correctly right after I decided to wipe all browsing data manually.

I use Firefox under Fedora (I'm two OS versions behind, must upgrade soon). I open very many tabs each day then work through them, theoretically every day, in practice they accumulate and I deal with them when I can. I rely on the tabs loading correctly on restart, but today they didn't, instead the set of tabs that were opened a few days ago loaded, and I lost everything I had done since then. Is there a way to retrieve the tabs that were opened just before this happened, ie around 15-20 hours ago? Ideally, again, I would merge them with the current ones, but reopening the old ones would take much much longer than reopening the new ones. Thank you for any advice.
