"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can caused this problem".

How do I resolve this problem?

At the top of my settings it says: Information: Your browser is being managed by your organization.

What does this mean? It's my personal laptop, I bought it myself and I don't work for any organization.

Thanks for your help. Nancy

Unable to log into SSA since the update (it seems however since you are changing this weekly or hourly it seems sometimes I do not know what the version was when I logged in last) I am at 144.0 and can log in without an issue using Chrome. How can this be fixed? From what I can tell it seems to not allow a return from server when you click on LOGIN on SSA <ssa.gov/myaccount/> I can get in with out a problem using Chrome. Please let me know what the fix is.

I do not want AI summary windows popping up, or previewing links, or any AI features in the browser. All AI should be opt in not opt out, yet here I am forced to dig through a config file instead of having an easily accessible setting.

And Mozilla management probably wonder why people dislike them. Hint: this sort of garbage.

I have tried disabling AI settings in about:config such as

• browser.ml.chat.enabled == False
• browser.ml.chat.menu == False
• browser.ml.chat.page == False

However I have continued to see an AI summary window, seemingly at random, sometimes with a long click and sometimes when mousing over text.

I want to be clear to whoever has implemented this; this is invasive, wasteful and frustrating.

I want a single option under settings to disable all AI features. Forcing this on users is a terrible idea and an excellent way to lose market share.

Really annoying with latest update there is no add short cut box on the home page anymore. I use this lots to save time now I have to go into browser history and find the link. All there is now is Recent activity and suggested sights that are picked for me. I don't want this on my browser!!

I live in Norway, and here I need to use a password to communicate with official offices. Whenever I want to log in, a list of three passwords appears. I have to remember that only one is right. Always, Firefox has a link to manage passwords. But when I go there, the wrong passwords are grayed out, and if I click on the delete symbol, only my valid password is deleted! How to manage the manage password page?

Hey, I'm trying to change the font of my browser. I have dowloaded it and installed it in my fonts folder, yet I don't see it in the dropdown menu when I try to change it. Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance for your help

1. y extensions do not appear at the top of my browser window even though they are enabled. 2. My url field now goes almost all the way across my window!! Moving the window requires careful cursor placement on the edge. 3. When I click the Firefox name on the top of my computer it only offers me the option to open a private window.

Hello, dear Mozilla support team :).

I have a question that has to do with the ever growing memory usage. I just found out the about:memory page in Firefox, which allows the users to manually free up the system memory by clicking the "Minimize memory usage" button. This is great and it does its job well, however for many years I've wondered why doesn't the browser clean up the memory taken by web pages like Twitch, Kick, Youtube, etc., which take a lot of memory, especially when people leave them open for hours, then when they close the tabs, the memory stays buffered until the browser has been completely closed.

The "Minimize memory usage" button does clean up the memory, so won't it be possible to implement such functionality that can be enabled/disabled somewhere in Settings, to allow the users to choose the browser to unload all memory taken by any tab when they close the tab, but not the whole browser?

This will help a lot, because I personally leave my PC and browser open for days, and sometimes I have to either close and re-open it, or go to about:memory and do a "Minimize memory usage" to free up the memory, that was taken few days ago by a single Twitch stream tab or some other tab, and the information in this buffer is absolutely pointless, but it sometimes takes all of my 96GB of RAM.

Thank you for any information on the subject :).

All the best, Borislav.

Seems no sound from one website phone.com when trying to play mp3 voice messages - no problem playing sound in edge browser and other websites play sound ok using firefox. Have checked firefox app audio settings and all good - even can see audio bar moving - but no sound and it is not muted. Using windows 11 pro and firefox version 144 and my autoplay is set "allow audio & video" as default for all. Any help appreciated - thanks.

I have no idea which heading this goes under, but as the title says, when loading a page that needs consent for cookies, the dialog box momentarily flashes up on the screen and is then gone.

To add insult to injury I have to fire up another browser, go to the site and it then works, so this is specific to Firefox.

I can get this to work if I go into safe mode, but after that I am back to square one.

Now if this were any attachments I am using I could understand it, but I recently bought a new Laptop for a friend and installed a fresh copy of FF on it.

So given this is a virgin copy of FF with no attachments or anything else other than default settings, why does it exhibit the exact same behaviour?

I have a new Microsoft Surface tablet. I thought I downloaded Mozilla/ or transferred it from my old PC computer where it is my primary. First there is no "Home" tab. Second, I have renewed my VPN,which was recently due to renew, and I believe it is downloaded onto the tablet, although I can't find any icon for it. When I try to download it again, I get an error message that this app is only supported by 64 bit devices? So, does that mean my Surface tablet doesn't have 64 bit capabilities? I'm confused. Thanks

Hello

So a funny story happened today, I used CC cleaner to help clean my PC now I have it set up so it does not touch Mozilla in anyway yet after an update those settings got wiped and when I used the program it wiped out everything I had in Mozilla, history, saved passwords, tabs, EVERYTHING.

The last time I made a backup to my bookmarks was 6 months ago, a lot has changed since then, I tried to use the restore function however those also got wiped out, so I decided to use the old bookmarks, yet it doesn't work, for some reason it tells me that it doesn't have any bookmark data in the file yet Chrome can read and import the bookmarks from the file, if I try importing stuff from Chrome it also comes up empty, as an experiment I made a new export from Mozilla and tried to import it and got the same error. I still have 2 bookmarks and those can't be deleted no matter what I do, I kept trying to delete them however they are stuck there no matter what I try. This laptop is a new one I got on the cheap after my laptop had a problem with it's hard drive, I made the backup right before the switch.

Does anyone have any ideas about what exactly happened and keeps happening?

After changing from Firefox to FF ESR I had to reset my password which I did not remember.

FF told me to enter my emailadress, that I would get a mail with a number to enter to get to reset my password AND that I had to enter the number within 10 minutes.

Since Friday I think I tried that 10 times. Every time the mail arrives late and the number is already invalid when I enter it.

e.g. I clicked to reset password at 18:10 but got the mail with the number only at 18:25...
