Widgets had been working well for me up until today, when I discovered that none of the widgets below my shortcuts were loading. In the widget settings, they're activated, but only weather shows up (in the top right corner). What am I doing incorrectly?

I need to enable Javascript. This problem began with the latest update 152.02. Last Pass needs it. So does ID.me. I have tried about:config and javascript.enabled (true). Apparantly it is not so. The computer is an HP Pro 3500 series MP Windows 10. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

i do the following but still get the message java scripts do not work

Mozilla Firefox 45.x and above (PC):

   Please ensure that your copy of Firefox is up to date.
   Click the Firefox drop-down menu or, if using the Menu Bar, continue to Step 2.
   Expand the Help menu and then select About Firefox within it.
   Firefox should now automatically check for updates and prompt you to restart it when finished.
   Once Firefox restarts, JavaScript should be enabled.

I'm using a Windows/Linux client called WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I've installed Debian as my WSL OS and for a long time I had Debian version 10. Firefox worked fine with ver 10 but this morning I upgraded to Debian version 13 (which required me to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox).

Firefox still launches okay but I wanted to change my home page to Google. So I clicked the 3 lines at the top RHS which showed me a popup menu but none of the options was selectable. Eventually I twigged that to change settings I needed to launch Firefox using sudo.

I managed to change the home page okay but I then realised that if I launch Firefox without using sudo, my new home page is ignored. Conversely (if I launch using sudo again) Firefox launches at a tiny size and can't be re-sized (at least, not using my mouse cursor). I've attached a small screenshot.

All I can do is to display it full screen and then I can tell that the home page is indeed now Google. I don't remember having these problems previously so can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong??

6/21/26 This morning I could not open my FireFox browser, unless i created a Profile. I was forced to use the Profiles Wizard to create a Profiles; when i finished all my Bookmarks had disappeared. Which was a great shock, had lots of Bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, & Other Bookmarks, I need to get those Bookmarks back !! >>More info: I had Hibernated my Dell 15 laptop overnight. This morning when I turned on the laptop, I got the above message that I had to create a Profile, which I did, which made all my bookmarks to DISAPPEAR !! I need them back!

Hi. Recently, not sure of which version as there seems to be a lot of updates :)

I'm currently on 152.0.1 on a Windows 11.

This problem doesn't happen on my Raspberry pi with 152.0 (aarch64) On my Android 13 I have allowed Pop-ups, via about:config, sort of, but there is no option to make Exceptions

So back to Windows 11.

As said I can enter an exception and that works when I load the site I want until I close Fx and I have to do it all again: Enter Domain : Allow : Save etc.

Once, and only once, I closed the [settings] and I'm sure after closing FX and opening it worked fine.

Just closed again and problem has occurred.

The issue arises on my site https://calstock.org.uk which opens a window to a UK weather site, The Met Office. It requires cookies etc. and shows it's own popup.

What I do is open it first in a new window, which is the popup I am referring to, then I load it in an iframe, then I close the popup.

That way the cookie is set by the new window that pops up so there is no query on my main page.

I only have the one extension, uBlock Origin which I have on all devices

Thanks

I would like two lists widgets running - for example; a shopping list and a to do list. I would like to see both on the page. Is there a way to do this now, or will there be one in the future, please?

When I restart Firefox, it opens all of my bookmarks, each in a separate tab. It takes forever to close them all down one by one. then it happens again the next time I restart Firefox. I'm on a windows laptop.

The actual version of Firefox is full of options. It is not so good. It is more difficult to find the old options. I am not findig the actual number of the version.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek guidance on how to disable settings pop-ups in Firefox, as I find them to be somewhat intrusive to my browsing experience.

While I appreciate the various features and options Firefox provides, I prefer to have a more streamlined experience without the frequent interruptions caused by these pop-ups. They can be distracting and make it difficult for me to focus on the content I am viewing.

Could you please provide me with detailed instructions on how to manage or disable these specific pop-ups? If there are any settings or configuration changes I should be aware of, I would be grateful for your assistance in helping me achieve a more unobtrusive browsing environment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team,
