Forum Bashkësie Firefox

Everytime I open firefox, a small window opens that tells me "Update available Download the latest version of firefox, Download or Dismiss". Hitting download saves the update for ver 151.0.4 to my harddrive. I have several of these files because of all the times I've updated forgetting that its already been updated to 151.0.4!

Why do you keep asking me to upgrade when I already did?

To get here I went to "mozilla support" and I clicked the box requesting you send me an email when someone replies to this. This "someone" implies that this person is part of your "community" not a mozilla employee, which is what "mozilla support" implies. After taking my time to follow your vague directives, I dont expect to get any help from you but I am hopeful.

I tried adding images which took me away from this page and when I tried coming back to this page, everything I typed was gone so I had to start over. So I'm not going to click on "share data" for the fear the same thing will happen. Thanks for that

Dear reader,

I wanted to completely removed Firefox because i had some issues. Instead om removing I probably refreshed FF.

Can somebody help with?

1. How to remove old FF data which is placed on my desktop and blocked for removal by admin rights. 2. How to completely remove FF without leaving any data (profiles, extensions)

I have tried to find this answers in the help sections but I was not able to find the solution for my situation.

Thanks in advance. With kind regards,

Ilco

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!

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to Linux, just installed Mint on a Lenovo desktop Thinkcentre M81. I can't figure out how to connect to the internet. I have Surfshark VPN, Race modem and router. I have read various documentation and watched videos. My problem is I don't know what to enter in the Mint network setting, connections (verbiage, is so different) or doesn't connect on it's own. Also, the only way I can connect is using my phone as a dongle. And I can't connect without it. Also connected thru Foxfire.

Please help, I'm 79 yrs old and it takes awhile to understand what I'm doing.

Thank you and lovers to you all for reading this!

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?

Ctrl key is shrinking my pages , unable to use any shortcuts due to it. Happened just now after the newest update to 152.1. It happens on every page. Also Login drop-down won't stay open long enough to select anything, it open and immediately closes.

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?

FF is offering up possible login names for a particular site I have used previously even though I have removed all related browsing history, form data, and cookies (and cleared the cache). What am I missing? Is it using stored history for unrelated sites to guess at a user name, or is there some other hidden history I need to clear?

(Categorized as "accessibility" because I feel this is a vision-related issue - if I mistagged the topic please correct me... I don't know where aesthetic issues go.)

Image 1 is how the file explorer looks with a lighter Firefox theme (my main one), Image 2 is with a slightly darker theme. Both are primarily light blue, so I'm not sure why this has happened.

I have my computer and most websites I use on dark mode because I have an easier time reading white on black or dark grey than I do black on white when it gets later in the day. I want to be able to have the darker file explorer with my theme of choice, since light mode kind of burns my eyes...

Is this a new feature added in the most recent update, or something? I haven't had this issue prior to today - if it's a new thing, is there a way to turn off the light file explorer so that I don't have to change themes?

Firefox ver 152.01 64 bit on win 11 recently very slow to load tabs, and if on you tube very slow to show pictures of the video's, also in Task manager with two tabs open shows 1,154 MB and in the App's section show 14 Firefox open. If I use Edge they open very fast, and & have now stopped using Firefox for this reason. I have been using Firefox for many years without any problems but now not really usable any more, unless this can be fixed. John

I have gone to Menard's several times and have tried to open a dog kennel item so I could see it bigger and in a single item view. Nothing happens when I click on it like it did before this last update!!!!!!!!!!! I get so tired of these program people change so much that i mess up how a person had used the software before they mucked it all up!!!!!!! In the last week I had the Firefox update, and two others an all of them have been changed so drastically nothing works like it did before the updates. MY REQUEST IS LEAVE IT THE SAME AND DON'T MESS WHEN HOW WE HAVE BEEN USING THE PROGRAM UNLESS WE WANT THE NEW UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
