I am having trouble getting yahoo.com to appear on Firefox. It worked perfectly for many years but on my current Firefox browser, www.yahoo.com does not work. The page will appear for seconds and disappear. How can this be fixed? Do I need to download a newer version of Firefox?

Firefox updated its version on my iMac desktop two days ago and all my bookmarks are gone. There's a message at the top that says: "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

All my bookmarks are gone as if they were never there. I have a My Passport Backup hard-drive but I don't know where I can find them and restore them.

I'm trying to find a solution for having all tabs open across devices. Currently, my desktop has about 50 open tabs that I access regularly. Today, I installed Firefox on my laptop, signed in and initiated syncing. All bookmarks came over, everything looks great, except that none of my open tabs from the desktop browser show on my laptop.

I would like to have identical tabs open across devices. Is there a way to configure this where a new computer being logged in automatically receives all open tabs from the initial device and then tabs automatically sync based on whatever is opened/closed on either device after the initial tabs are identically synced?

favicon glitch with gmail

Firefox drop down history shows about 85% favicon substitution for gmail entries. It is not the gmail favicon, it is a food blog I do not login to and only very occasionally read. It is a very random substitution.

Clearing cache, cookies and restarting did not eliminate the issue. All apps and browsers are fully up to date.

I only use Firefox so do not know if it happens on others. Also, it does not happen all the time, only about 85% of the time, sometimes within one session, as visible in the attached screenshot. The bottom 9 are gmail's and you can see it has chosen to substitute the gmail favicon for an unrelated food blog favicon, but the there are several gmail entries that display the correct google favicon.

It isn't a problem but it does make me feel less secure as it is a weird glitch. If there is crossover there, where else may there be identification failures? Is there any way to correct this? Thank you.

Firefox completely changed overnight without notice and I have lost all my bookmarks and can't find out how to access TV channels that were easily available previously on my desktop. Trying to make sense of changes but struggling. Nothing that used to work for me is still available. I don't even recognise it. Might have to give up Firefox.

Why I can select a custom page for when a new window opens but NOT when I open a new tab? I am tired of using your search bar because it is defaulting to the country I am in rather than only giving me results using Google USA. This is causing the results to be in a language I am not interested in using. I do not want results using the local Google, I ONLY want results from Google USA regardless of where I am at in the world. Please allow us to select a custom url for the search bar as well as a set url for every time we open a tab (not just a window).

Checkboxes in FF are very unusable now...

Hello, In FF 152.0.5 (aarch64) on macOS 26.5.2, I am noticing that every website that has a checkbox in a form does not work the way it should. The only indication that the box is checked is a slight "highlight" around the edge of the box, nothing actually in the box. See attached screenshot from the USPS website.

Also, the NO checkbox wasn't even visible until I clicked the area next to it. It was just blank.

I've seen this for set-up pages for WordPress plugins and on standard contact forms (using CF7 plugin) where the checkboxes so very little or no interaction to the user at all.

Grant it, I know now what to look for and how to use these. But any standard user is going to be absolutely confused by this unintended (I Hope) browser behavior.

I cannot get my Mozilla VPN to offer me the "Turn On VPN" switch. I'm in a loop of "you're logged in, now turn it on" then it keeps asking me to log in

I just signed up for the annual VPN coverage. I've signed in and have selected an area of the world to have my ip address associated. However, I now am in a loop.

I click the VPN logo on the top right of Firefox, I'm told to "Get started" by logging in.

I click "get started" and am told I've successfully already logged in.

I'm then told to click the "Turn VPN on" switch at the VPN logo.

I click the VPN logo and am told to log on, again. And again and again...

I've restared Firefox. I've restarted my Mac. Same thing again and again

Help?

I would like to stream a TV show series on a website. The message on the website is to disable ad blocker and/or add their site to a list which allows ads. I don't know of such a list. Disabling Firefox content blocker hasn't made a difference to being blocked from the site's content.
