I made a tab group i saved it and closed it save memory, but i don't know how to find it to restore it I assumed after saving it there would be a list in my menu of saed tab groups for latter restore but i see nothing in the menu....

i normally have over 200 tabs open, but i've been getting lag and memory issue with my pc so I thought i'd uses this feature to close and organize some of my tabs....but i can't figure out were the menu that lists my saved tab groups...

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature :

> Many sites do not respect this indication of a person's privacy preferences and, in some cases, it can reduce privacy.

This really hurts to see from Mozilla.

You could have linked to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

Why did this policy change? I am aware of GPC: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

When I dye my hair in 5 colors, I'm aware that can reduce my privacy. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm trying to make a statement. To put a flag in the ground! Like your logo!

If you are going to make this sort of decision again, can you

• please*

not tell me it's for my own good because of privacy?

Can you just say the policy was changed next time? No elaboration is fine.

Please!

For Valentine's Day I would love it if Mozilla could let me set the DNT bit to 1 again. I would love you so much. I still do.

Здравствуйте, у меня звуки из браузера перестали воспроизводиться сначала на 1 мониторе(со 2го воспроизводились), а затем и со 2го. Остальные приложения выводят звук исправно. Что делать? Спасибо

Hi Mozilla Community,

I am running Firefox on Windows 11 and I'm encountering a strange issue regarding the UI updates.

The Issue: My Firefox browser updates automatically to the latest version. However, my Default Profile is visually stuck on the old UI design. It does not reflect the recent interface changes associated with the update.

The Troubleshooting Context:

• I have verified that the browser itself is technically updated (via Help > About Firefox).
• The strange part: I have other Firefox profiles on this same machine. When I launch those profiles, they correctly display the new, updated UI.
• This issue is isolated strictly to my main/default profile.

Has anyone experienced this mismatch where the version number is correct, but the UI fails to refresh on a specific profile? Is there a specific fix for this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

i HAVE SET FIREFOX AS MY DEFAULT BROWSER, BUT WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT MICROSOFT BING POPS UP. THIS INFURIATES ME AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO STOP IT. IN THE CONTROL PANEL IT WILL ALSO NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE MICROSOFT EDGE.

Since version 148.0b2 (64-bit), it's once again not possible to enter search terms in the search box of a new tab; instead, the browser searches in the address bar. I've had all the settings I found in the forums configured correctly for over five years, and they haven't changed. - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False. Despite this, the search still occurs in the address bar. Now I'm back to the awful search in the address bar. How can I fix this? Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

Original: Set der Version 148.0b2 (64-Bit) ist es wieder nicht möglich die Suche im neuen Tap, im Suchfenster einzugeben, sonder es wird wieder im Adressfeld gesucht. Ich habe alle Einstellungen, die ich in den Foren gefunden habe schon über 5 Jahre so eingestelle, sie sind auch nicht geändert. - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False. Trotzdem wird die Suche im Adressfeld geführt.

Jetzt geht es aber wieder mit der Schrecklichen suchen in der Adresszeile los. Wie kann ich dies ändern? Bitte diesen Fehler (Bug) schnellst möglich beheben.

I teach an online Adobe Illustrator Course. Students upload (.ai) Adobe Illustrator files. Not .svg or .pdf. But Firefox changes the (.ai) extension to (.pdf) upon downloading. This is HIGHLY irritating. Firefox, in prior versions, did not do this. In Firefox settings for Applications, there isn't a choice for .ai (Adobe Illustrator) files. I 'assume' that when AI (artificial intelligence) became available is when Firefox began automatically changing (.ai) files to (.pdf). PLEASE SOLVE this as I have to manually change the (.pdf) extension BACK to (.ai) HUNDREDS of times a day.

This Help Article: ( [|"Manage local site storage settings"]) says: Allow or block websites from storing information "You can set up Firefox to always allow or block specific sites from storing information. You can also allow a site to store only for a single session. "

So I added a URL into 'Cookies and Site Data' > 'Manage Exceptions' with the option "Allow for Session". But it appears to have no effect. The site's cookies and data don't disappear from the "Manage Cookies and Site Data" window after Firefox is quit.

Does "Allow for Session" mean that a site's cookies and data will be deleted when Firefox is quit? If yes, the feature is not working ... in my version of Firefox which is 115.32.0esr. Or, am I missing something? I have "Enhanced Tracking Protection" set at "Strict", if that has any relevance.

Thanks !

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

I've tried saving in an active private window, but no success. Testing in Firefox private window local programing errors. Clean-slate avoid past incorrect memory errors.

I've got a new SSD and have reinstalled Firefox as my browser. In the past I've had the address field on the left and the search field to its right. I can get the search field on the same level as the address field but have not been able to switch their locations.

I have attached a screen shot of that section of my browser home page.

I thank you for whatever suggestions or guidance anyone can give.

All of a sudden I am getting loads of SPAM emails and when I try to unsubscribe, I get a Secure Connection Failed error. I have marked them as SPAM but they just keep coming, daily.

More of a comment. Firefox is the only browser I have used. Love it! Many important bookmarks to easily navigate. Broser update messed up bookmarks and took me hours to get back! Found. Save key and/or password! Learned a lot about profiles and Firefox along the way. Ugh!

I am trying to create a backup of FireFox for moving from a Windows 10 machine to a new Windows 11 machine. The instructions for creating a backup don't make any sense.

--- Click the main menu, and go to Settings. Select Sync. Scroll down to Backup, and click Manage backup. Choose the location to save the backup file. ---

When I click the Main Menu, go to Settings, Select Sync, there is no Backup listed. If I search for the term "Backup", this is the result: "Sorry! There are no results in Settings for “backup”. Need help? Visit Firefox Support".

Syncing is on, so I am assuming that FireFox is being backup?? Or am I missing something somewhere?
