Firefox Community Forum

ages ago FF posted an update on my desk top. I've installed it dozens of times and dismissed it many times that much but it is still stuck on my desktop. How do O cleaned this up?

SINCE FIREFOX IS MY BROWSER, HOW DO I PREVENT CERTAIN GAMES FROM TAKING CONTROL OF MY MOUSE ? I HATE IT WHEN THEY SLOW MY MOUSE DOWN OR WON'T LET ME MOVE,SOMETIMES IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE GAMES, VERY FRUSTRATING

I've been struggling with this issue for a few months. After Firefox updates, my toolbar layout gets reset and I have to re-do it from scratch. If that wasn't bad enough, occasionally when this happens it also enters this state where nothing loads. All tabs just get stuck in blank screen "dancing dot mode". Yes, google, everything. To "fix" this, I go into troubleshoot mode, and back to normal again, and then it's "fixed"... until it happens again a few days later. I can actually rebuild my toolbar layout in under 15 seconds now, I've done it so many times. I've tried doing the 'refresh'. Many times. I've fully uninstalled and re-installed Firefox. I uninstalled plugins that I suspected might be the cause. Nothing worked. At best these measures kept firefox stable a couple of weeks longer. I actually gave up and tried other browsers for a while. Any insight is appreciated.

Guys because of the way the INTERNET is set up, none of our complaints are getting through to folks in other states i.e the Federal Government/White House. Y'all are going to realize how much these internet companies and phone companies control. I'm trying to contact the White House and another agency. Realize what and who controls wifi and phone internet. I've submitted alot of things and need help. No response needed, but if you know someone, have them look into security breaches with federal agencies. Especially in North Carolina. I said with the White House because I can't tag anyone. Our complaints go to a STATE BERAEU AND NOT THE FEDERAL BERAEU is all I'm going to say! I can't even download another browser through the play store! I need help. They control everything including your app. Contact the president about these agency breaches. People need help. This is serious. Get white house involved. Please help us. I'm Jakime Lamar Ellison. Too many are against. Please be one to help.

For some reason, about a week ago, Firefox started lagging BADLY when saving any file. It will take like 20 seconds to load the "save as" popup and then, once saved and it closes, takes another 5 seconds to regain control and not make the error sound when I click.

Firefox loads quickly on every other aspect. And I have a beast of a laptop. It has an Intel Core i9 13th Gen 13900HX, 64GB of DDR5/6 RAM and a Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop graphics chip. It also has Windows 11 Home. So it SHOULDN'T be this laggy. And I refreshed Firefox multiple times and even reinstalled it. NOTHING!

And, while I'm personally not complaining about the icons in the bar looking like they're from Windows 7 or something, I wonder if it's connected? Regardless, I NEED this fixed as it's damn near unusable for me. I'm in college for video game development, so things like this are the last thing I want to deal with...

I am having an issue with my new OLED monitor and GPU where Firefox is not able to correctly display the color of icons and various other sites and images correctly. I know this issue is directly related to firefox because every other browser and game or anything I use works perfectly in terms of color accuracy. Firefox is unable to be fixed. I have already tried changing the color settings within firefox many times and that has not helped. I have also already tried refreshing Firefox, completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox among other things. So far there seems to be no fix. I have tried restarting my computer as well. The issue is persistent. I have attached an image of what it looks like compared to a reference of what it should be like.

I reinstalled windows on my PC. I had to password reset because I forgot it and then it made my login back on my phone. I go through the login process on my phone and I first get my Email verification then I get my Auth app and it tells me it was logged in, but doesn't actually log me in. It does this both on my phone and PC now so I am trying to get logged in on my phone to be able to bring my bookmarks over.

so i updated firefox after 2 years of not updating it and now i have a annoyance to my eyes

before my update i would click on the search on the toolbar and either type out my search and hit enter or that i would just hit enter and go straight to google/ amazon/ blah blah what ever i had it set at the time.

after updating firefox i now have a annoying pop up that pulls up recent search in said search function of the toolbar. i have tried going into the options and every thing is turned off in the "search suggestions". i have looked into the about:config because after the update firefox started suggesting on my URL bar my recent viewed pages and bookmarks which always hated that function and had to turn it off again.

yet i cannot find a away to turn off the recent search. and sometimes it even tried to suggest places / recent events in the search toolbar.

also that clicking the search toolbar and just hitting enter no longer takes me directly to the search engine... it just does nothing now unless if i type something in.

any way of fixing this? or am i just going to have to jury rig using a old firefox again?

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC

Please Help, Rhonda

I am signing into my Mozilla account on a new computer with a clean Firefox install. I'm able to get into my account using an authorization code to my email, but Firefox Sync isn't working so no bookmarks/passwords/history/etc. I have a persistent "account disconnected" with a yellow triangle icon. Upon clicking through, I see "Please sign in to reconnect [my email address]" with a sign in button. Signing in does nothing. What's really strange is that my other Mozilla account works fine, which leads me to believe this is an account issue—except that I've synced this account across several devices already.

What do?

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

i've had recent cause to reset my 2017 iMac running OS 13 back to factory settings. this has cause all kinds of problems, and now i need to set up a new user account. i identified the relevant profile, and copied it to the new user account. i then opened Firefox and typed "about:profiles", and the new profile is not in the list, even though it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/.

i tried compressing it before copying it, but that made no difference. i've tried logging out, restarting, and switching on and off again.

so i'm stuck in between two users, one with all my data, and the other with Firefox (and possibly Thunderbird, haven't even tried that yet). this makes life unbelievably difficult.

i really need my Firefox profile back. desperately hoping someone can help.

thanks for reading.
