Firefox just updated a few days ago to version 149.0. Prior to, no issues. Now every time I enter a search term and hit enter. A new tab opens and the page is blank. It only happened after the update. Closing the tab and doing the same thing again opens a new page correctly.

When I first install an extension, there is an option to pin that extension icon to the Firefox taskbar. But if I later unpin it, then I can never repin it back to the taskbar. In older editions of Firefox, long ago, there were ships wheel icons next to the extensions in the extension list. There was choice to "pin to the taskbar", but now there are no ship's wheel icons in the list. And therefore no way to repin the extension to the taskbar. Therefore, once I unpin an extension icon from the taskbar, I have no way to pin it back up there.

the go back to previous page shortcut is annoying and it kept messing with my work and I want to disable it I use touchpad and accidentally goes back to previous page all the time and sometimes I have to redo my unsaved work because of this. Please disable this arrow in a blue circle thing

Hi, I recently started using Firefox's beta built-in VPN and look forward to the protection it will provide. One small problem... every time I close Firefox, the VPN deactivates, requiring me to manually activate the VPN. How do I set VPN to remain active all the time? Thanks for your support. Stay well.

I tried a restore but the only date available for bookmarks was today (jsonlz4 file). I tried other online suggestions but I cannot locate any old files to restore from. If I cannot get them back, I will switch browsers because the loss is unacceptable.

The same thing happens on my two Dell laptops (Inspiron and Latitude), and a Hyper-V VM (on my desktop PC). They all run Bazzite Linux 6.17.7-ba25.fc43.x86_64.

A video may play for a second or two, and then it's either a black screen, or an error message of "The content doesn't seem to be working."

On the same two laptops and VM, the Chromium Browser, and LibreWolf (a fork of Firefox?), have no issues playing the same videos.

Firefox version on all three systems is 147.0.3.

Any help/guidance welcome with thanks.

Hi, the home page shortcuts used to be bookmarked sites I selected, and they stayed in one place. After a recent update Firefox litters the page with recent searches, displacing the ones I saved. I can't see a setting to select recent search shortcuts ON/OFF, how to restore the old (and very useful) shortcuts?

First of all I've noticed that even logging in to the account management page doesn't work with my vpn on. So of course sync itself doesn't either. It works perfectly fine with it off though. Is there an IP address that I can add to split tunneling to allow only the sync/FF account manager through my vpn? Or another way I'm not aware of? I'd rather not have to allow the whole browser through my vpn if possible.

I've recently had a bit of a strange problem. I use on-line banking. When I wanted to print off the latest transactions, I proceeded as usual. Then, when I clicked 'print', the list of transactions was overwritten by an (apparent) HSBC document headed 'Reactivate your unclaimed account'. I could still print my transactions, but only at a much larger font size.

I phoned HSBC and could not get any help. It was suggested I took the printed pages into a local branch (fine suggestion with all the branches that have closed!). I did. I also took my pinpad into the bank so I could sign in on their computer. Surprise, surprise, the strange document didn't appear. The bank said that it must be my browser at fault and suggested I update the version. However, they were able to confirm that all my accounts were fault and trouble-free, with no suspicious activity.

This evening, I tried to do just that. Nowhere could I find any way of updating Firefox, so I deleted the entire app and reloaded it, using Edge. Once set up, I tried again. I still get the document. If I try using Edge, I don't get the document. Now I'm completely puzzled. What makes me even more suspicious is that this strange document shows all of my HSBC accounts, with the correct figures, but at the foot of the first page, in large letters, is the line "Are you sure you want to redirection?". Very odd language. At the head of the second page is another line "You will be token to a new page to login an view your credit card details". More odd language.

This problem has only occurred on Windows 11 - it never occurred when I was using Windows 10. My anti-virus software (Bitdefender) reports my system is clean. The problem also does not occur when using any other web browser.

My conclusion is that there is a problem between Firefox, Windows 11 and the HSBC online app.

Please can this be investigated. Many thanks, John Jesson

Firefox update did not fully complete. All bookmarks have been lost. I did not have a back up file. Can I still get them back? It's still asking to finish setup and has not completed.

What happened, All my important bookmarks are missing. I have had to log into every account I have, No saved passwords. Really upset. I need help to restore all this information that I need

vary unhappy with the new update. never have had issues with fire fox like this. when going to zillow.com i get this message: upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination. I noticed this is only the fire fox browser having this issue. i have already disabled ad blocker and vpn reset fire fox lost all my tabs! reset the computer and nothing still, i get the same message. i have used fire fox since it was a thing and recommending it always. getting a different browser right now to do my house buying, i don't feel safe using fire fox for this adventure any longer. my apologies if this seems like an emotional decision but i see this in everything that gets to big they lose the plot its an infection that is embedded in everything now, windows, home and car pricing. major changes to os and how its used. company's hate there customers anymore and were noticing.

I don't know which topic describes my question. I want to put the New York Times as a short cut on my firefox home page and it won't do it. For a bit of history, I USED to have the short cut and one day it was removed by Firefox when it re-arranged things.

after my laptop crashed (again did so over 100 times) but this time all history is gone, could not restore last session/s - can't log into my accounts (any) - can't set it to an earlier date (e.g. yesterday) to eliminate whatever the problem is (am not an IT expert, so I don't know how - just know that it is possible) - I have tried for 4 hours - no avail - I really need the status of 4-5 hours ago so I don't lose so much
