Firefox Community Forum

I changed my computer's name, so I want it to reflect in all the browsers. Without deleting and setting up the whole thing again, How can this be done economically?

What has happened to Firefox over the past few days? Mine has become almost unusable!

Facebook fails to load (it's a pain having to constantly clear the cache in order to re-sign in). Websites that I use to make hotel bookings fail to proceed past the login stage, online forms fail to show the required information to complete transactions.

All works well on Chrome - but I like the Firefox interface and have been using for many years.

Help!

After a recent update my bookmarks toolbar appears blank. It is shown, but empty. When I go to the bookmarks menu I find all of the bookmarks shown as being on my bookmarks toolbar. How do I get them back where they belong?

Hi, I have a shortcut which comes up with a blank icon. I've tried Google help to use a custom picture, but nothing worked. The complication is that my shortcut does not go to Xerox, it goes to their pension provider who has a different name. The shortcut works fine but it would be nice if I didn't have a blank icon.

After updating from Firefox 154 to 155.0 on Windows 11, the download progress indicator on the Windows taskbar icon no longer appears at all.

What I see: - While a download is in progress, only the circular progress on the in-window Downloads button is visible. - There is no progress bar/fill on the Firefox taskbar icon, even when the window is focused and the Downloads panel is open. - In Firefox 154 this taskbar progress worked. - Chrome on the same PC still shows download progress on the taskbar correctly.

I checked about:config for anything related to taskbar/download progress and found nothing that controls this.

Is the Windows taskbar download progress still expected to work in Firefox 155, or was it removed/changed? Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.

Lately, I cannot get to staples.com. I think it started after the last update, but I'm not sure. I never had a problem before, and Staples is a well-known national company for office products. I've restarted Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but the result is the same. Chrome and Edge have no problem accessing the site, so it's a puzzle why Firefox cannot. If anyone has any ideas about how to proceed, I'll appreciate it.

I installed portable Version 156.0.1 (64-bit). Since then, the search bar is displayed in the middle of each page instead of the menu bar. Is this a known bug? see image thanks

Every time there is an update, Firefox creates a new profile and hides all passwords etc. It is therefore impossible to work with it now. With 157 I now have a worthless Firefox, because all links, passwords, settings etc have been cleared and a new profile has been created.

Desktop version update to 157.0.1 acted like a fresh install. Prompted me to import from previous browser. Firefox was my previous browser. I have my bookmarks backed up, but lost all my tab groups, which is a huge problem to try and recreate. Lost downloaded themes. Lost downloaded extensions. Why did this happen? I can't imagine it was by design.

My VPN used to work perfectly with my South African sites. Since I've downloaded the new Beta version of Firefox, things have become unstable, and the South African sites - mainly my dictionaries (which I use daily because I'm a translator) - don't work any more.

South Africa is one of the countries on the list, but when I open the VPN now, it says South Africa is unavailable, which had never been the case before.

Please help me sort it out. I can't take screenshots of the problem. When I go to the country list from the VPN, the dialogue box disappears.

Hey,

When I was using Firefox version 156, the free Firefox VPN was active for me. However, after updating to version 157.0.1, the free VPN no longer appears, so I cannot use it.

During a recent upgrade, the Appearance defaulted to Dark. I hate dark web pages! Yes, I went to Settings > Appearance > Themes and selected Light. When I open a new page, it is light, but the Firefox home page is still dark. I want the Firefox home page to be white background with black text. How can I make that happen?

I use Bookmark Toolbar a lot. It has several menus, with submenus. But when they layer over top of each other, I get lost in which layer I am on and too often my mouse moves off the top layer, which closes it.

I would like to somehow change the colour of the menus, depending on the layer. Currently they seem to all be kinda grey, regardless of theme.

But if the first dropdown menu could be yellow and then the next be blue ... or whatever, it would be most helpful.

I suspect this is something that could be effected in userChrome.css, but I have no idea what to put in there to target the menus.

Any help or guidance you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks!
