Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I never sign into my account when browsing but I've had bookmarks for years. This last update, they all disappeared. I read about profiles and looked at them but it is gone.

I signed into my account new and still no bookmarks. Is there anything else to do or they are gone?

Interesting that Microsoft updated also and my documents folder is no longer linked with the My Documents icon. I have to go to the C drive to find users and then my documents. I don't know if that's related.

I guess I have to stay signed in so Mozilla can track me.

Thanks, David

The Firefox family clearly has great disdain for the average American who doesn't want to be forced to read DNC / Democrat talking points via the "curated thread". Just be honest: it's the DNC curating Firefox's news just as the FBI curated who was allowed to talk on X. Just be up front with everyone. Firefox is sort of like the Bluesky of internet browsers. Here is a crazy concept: Instead of shoving your views down the throats of average Americans. How about let us citizens choose are own news sources? Crazy concept. Or are you Big Brother? Seriously. Get a clue if you want the 60% of ordinary people to keep using your browser as I have done for 15 years give or take. I get that I can turn off the propaganda your are displaying but choice would be better. If you would like to discuss, I'm all ears.

My browser worked fine until a few weeks ago. It then slowed considerably in serving pages. Instead of a few seconds, it would take 30 seconds. It has done this consistently since then. I don't recall installing new extensions. My other browsers work normally at normal page speed. The Windows OS seems to work fine as well.

Can anyone think what might be causing this & how to fix it?

I have tried all of the recommended ideas in the articles about reloading bookmarks and nothing has worked.

I want to play wgt.com Golf. Every way after 'play' blocks me and since your update I can't get in to play. You haven't answered any of my several inquiries!

I don't remember signing up for Microsoft OR Mozilla. but I've been using Firefox for years. I have Microsoft, which may be [edited] @gmail.com, as I changed it from that to [edited] @gmail.com years ago, and haven't logged in for years.

In updated version I lost my Mouse right click screenshot and edit ability of any images, how do I get it back? I rather use the old version of Firefox and wish Firefox does not force us to update

I keep getting what appears to be notification (of news items?) popping up in the lower right hand corner of my screen. Is this a function of Firefox and if so can I disable it?

A week ago I got a BSOD that ruined settings of most of my extensions and most likely some of Firefox's settings too (at least it erased my custom findbar.matchdiacritics value, but probably not just that). After that I moved Firefox's folder and re-installed it. I also created a new profile. The 2 profiles are synced. Because of that, the new profile got (almost) all the extensions from the old one automatically. Then, I decided to do a clean install of those extensions (the reason why is a story for another ticket). So, while both profiles were opened, I removed one extension in the new profile, waited for a bit and checked the old one to see if it got removed from there too. At first it wasn't, so I thought they are not synced (anymore). Yeah, sure, but once I removed all extensions from the new one, the old one woke up and removed all extensions from there too. Great! Awesome! Loved it wholeheartedly! It really had to wait until I removed them all, didn't it? Anyway, I had a backup of my old profile, so I restored my extensions and their settings on both profiles eventually. So now I have clean installs of Firefox and extensions. Back to the issue. I can't load Steam pages (at least store.steampowered and steamcommunity) normally anymore. They load forever, and if the blue dot eventually stops moving (after an insane amount of time), it's either a plain white screen, or badly loaded page with most images missing.

• Edge loads them just fine
• Steam client loads them just fine.
• If I turn on VPN plugin (I use Browsec), then it works. It's like that in both old and new profile. That's why I mentioned that funny little story before.
• Tried Troubleshoot Mode, didn't help.
• Tried to selectively disable some extensions, same.
• Obviously tried to remove cookies, Ctrl + F5 and whatnot. Btw, if I clean everything and try to load it, then it's (most likely?) a white page, but if I turn the VPN on and load it first, and then turn it off and reload it, then it will look a bit better, but still will load forever with some media missing. (Which kinda make sense since something was already cached.)
• Tried to change proxy settings from “Use system proxy settings” to “No proxy” and “Auto-detect proxy settings for this network”, nah-ah.
• Tried to disable DNS in Firefox's settings, no siree.
• The console throws different warning and errors every time (that are probably even unrelated). Or none at all.
• Probably tried something I already forgot about.

Also, it seems the culprit is actually Akamai (it's where the Steam stores its media) or whatever is preventing reaching it. Because it often shows something like “Waiting for community.akamai.steamstatic.com...” in the status bar for a long time. It seems like the problem is within Firefox's settings, and it also looks like settings aren't synced across profiles (or at least some aren't, I definitely had to configure them on the new profile manually). Anyway, I am out of ideas and my butthurt thrust is about to deliver me to Uranus. Thanks for your attention!

Is Firefox blocking my access to certain websites? for example www.rt.com I'm able to access using a VPN which suggests Firefox is restricting my access.

after reinstalling the OS, Firefox stopped synchronizing most of the data. Bookmarks were not transferred, and passwords and extensions were transferred less than half

Is it possibile to change horizontal or vertical size of the main firefox window using mouse? Now I am able to open only one size between the maximum and minimum. Why? Mary
