Firefox Community Forum

Firefox deleted my entire browsing history while signed in with syncing on, with no user interaction. This should never happen. What is the point of Firefox sync if it does this?

I would like to make Firefox web browser to save automatically the "tab group" created.

The feature is already there by left clicking on the group and choose "save and close group". I would this to be automated as default behaviour at every attempt to close the last tab of the group, so the "tab group" never gets deleted by itself. Only deliberately left click on the tab group and choose "Delete group".

Thank you in advance for your time reading this. 🙇

Error: bp-57bcdd30-438c-4af8-9e75-b5c9b0260822 OS: Linux Mint 22.3 Device: IdeaPad 3 15ARE05, CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U, GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX Vega 6, RAM: 8Gb

I used firefox troubleshoot mode to see if the problem is caused by an extension etc. But my tabs were still crashing, this time, firefox as a whole crashed. Sometimes a tab crashes, and sometimes firefox crashes. I tried to troubleshoot with an llm, it said that i don´t have enough RAM, i have 8Gb, but its shared between RAM and VRAM. I was on fedora before, the problem occurred there so i switched to mint with the thought that mint is more lightweight so it should have more RAM available for tabs. But that wasn´t the case. Sometimes i only have 1 tab open, nothing else on firefox and on my laptop open at that time, but the tab still crashes.

I hope i´ve provided enough information, if not, let me know what your missing to fix and i hope i can provide it :)

how the fuck do I turn off enhanced tracking protection because it's breaking everything? I need my security and this is actively preventing me from acquiring the necessary security apps and accounts I need. This is actively making me less safe. It also won't let me get a different browser

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I'm on FF 154.0. The power went out here and when it came back and I booted the desktop computer something had changed in FF.

I used to see the active tab as green in the tab bar and yellow for the rest, but now they're all gray until I mouse over the bar and only then does it turn green/yellow.

I struggled with this for many hours trying many //active tab color// solutions I found in searches but nothing got it back to my old behavior.

So as a last resort I tried adding the Firefox Color extension, but when I click Add to Firefox it just turns into a throbber that never changes so it doesn't install. I'm stuck!

Frustrated!!

Hello. I am trying to start using Mozilla VPN, I linked my account, but afterall, it refuses to connect. It just say, that he "couldn't connect to VPN", it doesn't even mark the reason or gives some feedback. In settings it still offer to get started, despite i've already added account and it should work. What could be causing this? P.S. I have already relaunched a browser:)

When entering the "customize Firefox" page, the option to enable or disable the title bar is missing. From looking at pass guides it used to be on the bottom left of the page but now it's gone. In case it matters, I am not in fullscreen mode.

Good morning, I had a working VPN installation Fedora 44 XFCE Flatpak org.mozilla.vpn. But this morning when opening Mozilla VPN it " hangs" at: waiting for sign in and subscription confirmation

How to fix?

Fedora 44 XFCE Flatpak org.mozilla.vpn 2.39.0 stable.

Yours kindly, Roel

Pretty simple. Every time I click any "news" link on my home page in Firefox it always runs into a pay wall. This is crap as these losers get a hit count to their site, get to load ads (for some people), and so on but I don't get to read the article. And who know s what kinda crap they are dumping into my cache. This needs to be fixed or the "feature" removed. This is basic privacy shit not included in a browser that tries to brag about privacy features.....

Recent update nuked all my custom containers, and closed every page that was currently open within those containers (pretty devastating bug).

Now, I go to add sites to the new custom containers I made to replace the earlier ones. When I go Manage Containers > pick a custom container > "manage site list ..." and there is no list. Just a blank window.

linux, firefox, and duck duck go search engine---i want to stop picture in a picture. include every instruction like if i am to use the address bar, where do i find that?
