Firefox Community Forum

Firefox was working all day. Then when I went back to it later in the day, it would not start saying that it couldn't find a dll.

The instructions I found onsite, using another browser was to uninstall Firefox and do a clean install. They instructions said that I would not lose my bookmarks.

I faithfully followed the instructions and uninstalled the application, it had problems doing that as it kept coming up that it could not find a file. However, it did complete.

I then reinstalled Firefox.

I have no bookmarks to anythings. No banking bookmarks, no entertainment bookmarks... no nothings.

It will take me months to recover if I can even find those sites again....

I'm really annoyed with Mozilla and am now seriously considering a new primary browser. In all my years on a computer I have never had this happen before.

Now if you know a way that I can recover all my bookmarks, I will reconsider.

I updated nearly all of my passwords on my desktop to firefox-generated passwords. Then I was on Firefox on android, and I needed to login to something, but it was filling in the old password. I pressed "sync" in the app, but that didn't update the password. Then I discovered that for reasons I don't understand, all the new passwords in firefox on my desktop had been overwritten by the old passwords from my phone. How do I recover my passwords? I'm locked out of everything.

I can reach Bank of America, sign in and do everything except the pay bills page is blocked. There is no issue with Chrome. I cleared the cache and cookies, and have the latest update Please tell me what to do next

A new version of the "List All Tabs" appeared on my toolbar today, shown on the left and hovered over in the attached screenshot (ignore the Malwarebytes extension icon). The old icon for this button was a chevron with approximately the same functionality. I was able to remove the old icon, but I'm unable to find a way to remove this one. Here is what I've tried so far:

• Like the old one, the Customize Toolbar feature is unable to remove it since it is grayed out.
• For a while, I was able to remove the old icon by going to about:config and setting browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled to false. This solution does not work for the current and some recent versions of the button.
• I attempted to create a userChrome.css file (following all the steps according to this this website) and added the following string: #alltabs-button { display: none !important; }

None of these attempted fixes have removed the button following a browser restart. Is there a way to remove it? I have no need of a button that shows me what tabs I have open when I can simply look at my toolbar.

I received an email when I opened Firefox today telling me that Firefox has increased security with an update that prevents third parties from accessing cookies from any site. Did you send this or was this a scam since I signed on to receive your newsletter before I left the site. thanks.

Hello!

Recently there was an update today, Oct 3rd, where after it was completed, I have been unable to open any extra tabs. Everything has to be in a new window. They keyboard shortcuts do not work and I am running out of ideas.

It will crash out randomly and say that there is an issue when submitting the crash report. Closing the window[s] and then trying to reopen Firefox results in a message saying that it's already running, and the old process needs to be closed to open a new window.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you.

All of a sudden Firefox is not allowing me to access some of my accounts. Specifically, my Novant MyChart account to access all of my doctors. If this continues, I will be forced to quit and or delete Firefox. This new security is too tight.

Yikes ... this is EXTREMELY annoying. I always want to be asked where to download files. I have tried all the recommended fixes including going into "about:config" and changing the setting recommended in other threads ... no joy! I am using version 131.0 (64 bit) W10! I have tried refreshing ... no joy!

I use Internet Bill Pay through my bank, and it has always worked correctly with Firefox. I have enhanced tracking protection turned off for the site secureinternetbank.com and I have cookies authorized in my exceptions list. Today I got this message:

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms:

   Block third party cookies
   Cookie tracking
   Cross-site tracking

Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

Bank says it hasn't changed anything, and no tweaks I tried on privacy settings fixed it. I believe it's an issue with the new version. Can you tell me how to fix it or let me know when Firefox will fix it? The site works fine in Microsoft Edge, but I'd like to avoid using Edge.

Thanks.

I have my settings set to block audio and video from auto playing (I have limited data) and amazon.com still auto plays advertising and 'influencer' videos, why?

FF Settings menu, select, Startup, (Open previous Windows /tabs) is greyed out an not selectable. I adopted FireFox because I like the way that it operated. I could open FireFox and previous tabs and windows would open automatically. When I opened a new tab, FF would jump there automatically. If I wanted to check spelling, I could type in the search window and see correct options. ALL THAT IS GONE! Why should I keep using FF when it has lost functions that I depended upon?

I have tried to log into my google accounts on the browser, but everytime I press the sign in button on the google homepage, it takes me to google's "clear cache" website. However, signing in works normally on a private window. I have tried clearing my cache multiple times and it keeps taking me back to the cache page.

I have tried to regaing access to my main account for days now and I can not get past the "Enter authentication code to continue to ⁨Firefox Sync⁩"

"Open your authentication app and enter the authentication code it provides." "Enter 6-digit code"

So where is the authentication app"

I want back into my account!!!!!!

I've tried to Uninstall Firefox Multiple times - I have Clear out the Registry and located every possible file andfolder on my system but it appears Firefox has some anchor files and or lines in the registry that I am unable to remove and all that happens when I attempt to create a new account or use my primary account or some old accounts using old email addresses is it is looking for a 6 Digit Code from an Authenticator App I don;t seem to have or know how to get to - I want this resolved and not told to do pointless instructions from Mozilla support that lead, EVERYTIME to the same issue I am trying to resolve.

Since Mozilla Firefox web browser v127.0 (released June 11 2024) the manual installation of the Adobe Acrobat Pro extension (the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file) do not work anymore!  :disappointed_face:

So, when you go in any higher version of Mozilla Firefox web browser then v126.0.1 (released May 28, 2024) to this web browser Menu Bar -> Tools -> Add-ons and Themes -> Extensions -> Install Add-on From File..., and then try to manually import-install the Adobe Acrobat Pro extension (the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file) into the Mozilla Firefox web browser, and from this HDD location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Browser\WCFirefoxExtn\WebExtn\signed_extn\adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi

The Mozilla Firefox web browser will say during this .xpi file installation: "This add on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt"!  :disappointed_face:

However, in any Mozilla Firefox web browser version prior v127.0 (released June 11 2024), this manual import-installation of the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file will be most successfully installed in a Mozilla Firefox web browser without any problem!

I also create the most detailed and step-by-step post on the Mozillazine.org Forum and the Adobe Forum about all of this problem:

So, please help and advice further. Thank you in advance and best regards!
