Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

Здрасьте дорогие разработчики

у вас есть функция, split-screen. Это круто! сделайте, пожалуйста, чтобы это могло включаться через контекстное меню(правая кнопка мышки), чтобы я навел мышку на ссылку и в контекстной меню выбрал этот пункт. чтобы я не через вкладки это делал, а через контекстное меню.

(EN) Questions and suggestions

Hello, dear developers.

You have a split-screen feature. That's awesome! Please make it accessible through the context menu (right-click), so I can hover over a link and select it from the context menu. So I can do it through the context menu instead of through tabs.

Hello,

I am a bit confused and worried about what is happening here. I am routing Firefox through controlD DNS and Reddit.com is the only website that it doesnt block even though its on my blocklist. I tested it with a few other websites too and those did get blocked on Firefox but not Reddit. I did some testing and it seems every other browser works perfectly fine. Is this intended for Firefox to route Reddit through their own DNS servers instead of the private one I have setup? This is a bit concerning to me.

Let me know if this is intended or why this isnt working only on Reddit.

Hello, on the 24th, I had opened a new tab to search something, like normal. It wasn't loading, so I closed my window of 20 or so tabs to reload the browser. When I reopened the browser, none of my tabs were there, and the "recently closed windows" option wasn't available in the three lines menu in the top-right of the browser page. I cannot search for all of these tabs individually in my history, as some of them were saved from many months ago. But I needed these tabs open to refer to them for work.

I saw a page describing how I could reload my last session from C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\khv448gm.default-release\sessionstore-backups, but those files had already overwritten with the session that didn't have any tabs. I looked through the "Previous Versions" tab in properties, but it only had previous versions of the folder from earlier that day, and not before I had closed the browser. I asked my IT department at work if they were able to load a previous version of the folder for me from before the 23rd, but they just redirected me to Mozilla support first.

My question is, is there any way I can restore all my old browser tabs? Or is there anywhere else I can look on my computer for locally stored previous sessions from before February 24th?

Thank you!

This browser has been my preferred way to use the internet for years, after Chrome overloaded theirs with unneeded features that slowed the performance. I switched to Mozilla products because of their lightweight and private browsing options. Today, you pushed an "AI Kill Switch" instead of listening to community feedback that largely demanded the removal of all features using generative AI, and this is my final straw. I don't know who in the company is pushing for this, but if there's even the slightest chance of them reading my words; your product is shit and will remain shit for the rest of it's existence. AI features introduce security risks, slow performance noticably, and have such bad political pr attached to them, there's no crawling yourself back from this. You've labeled yourself as another ai company willing to burn all goodwill from your userbase for the percieved chance at acquiring profit. The bubble will pop, and you and your market value will go the way of every other internet browser that was okay for time but got too big for it's britches. You're an idiot for ever believing the ai hype and deciding to bet your entire company on the gamble. Firefox is, at best, only useful for downloading another browser, now. Way to become a direct competitor with Internet Explorer again.

FF 148.0 was running on MacOS with my profile as a folder (e.g, trb618r9.default) under Firefox. When I looked in history it was empty so I restarted FF, none of my tabs were there, and TreeStyleTabs didn't display. Investigating I see a new folder named Profiles that has a profile in it with the trb618r9.default name but not all the data in the original trb618r9.default. I renamed the "new trb618r9.default" and moved the original trb618r9.default to Profiles and restarted FF but still am not seeing the original fxxx data which still exists.

Screenshot of finder before I renamed etc. as described above shows the two same named profiles.

How can I recover?

I installed the Norton AntiTrack App on my computer, then added the Norton AntiTrack Extension to Mozilla Firefox. After these installations, Firefox is still unable to communicate. I've deleted all installations, reinstalled and i continue to get the message unable to communicate when I click on the Norton AntiTrack Extension pinned to the menu bar. I have spent hours trying to figure this out without success.

Today (February 25, 2026) I received an email notice, apparently from Mozilla Monitor, advising me that my "Email addresses, Partial credit card data, Passwords, and Phone numbers" had been exposed in a data breach at Canadian Tire. This email seemed legitimate (the sender was breach-alerts@mozilla.com), but since it gave me a link to login to Mozilla Monitor, my first concern was that this might be a phishing email and it would be dangerous to click on that link. Instead, I went through the Firefox settings to login to my Firefox account and from there, I checked what Monitor had reported. The Canadian Tire breach was not listed there. However, when I went to haveibeenpwned.com, the Canadian Tire breach was listed there. It showed that the breach occurred on October 25, 2025. So why was the breach not listed for me on Mozilla Monitor? And why would I have received an alert from Monitor 4 months after the breach? Was this breach alert notice actually a phishing scam perpetrated by someone using the information from haveibeenpwned.com as bait?

hi, spellchecking works fine when using Firefox in Linux, but not in Windows 11. For instance, I can enter comments and replies to magazine articles while using Linux and they're spellchecked as I go by highlighting misspelled words etc, but if I'm in Windows 11 and on the same comments section, although my Firefox settings are the same the spellcheck doesn't happen. Can anyone please tell me what's up with that?

It's frustrating, no matter what you set, the search always jumps to the address field. I enter known addresses in the address field. I SEARCH in the SEARCH FIELD. And I want that in the future too. How do I make it possible, permanently, to be able to search in the search field??? The following doesn't work (anymore).

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

148.0 was updated today and somewhere the user profiles was changed; all website addresses for pw management were not able to connect. I have two computers on a home network; 1. a Digital Engine Win7 enterprise with Firefox ESR 115.33 operating OK, 2 is a CUBI mini Windows 10 Enterprise Firefox `48.0. I am in process of taking the windows 7 out of service and was doing some cleanup on home network and I noticed had a connection failure on the 2. machine. I looked at the browsers and discovered that the old firefox data is not on desktop as it once was, and I also noticed that the user profile for the about:profile was wrong. I need to restore the CUBI profile. I was moving some things around and lost continuity somewhere. II just remembered....there is a refresh on the control panel for mozilla. looks like this is going to work just fine. The old windows 7 makes a good traveling encyclopedia!

Ok I did a refresh; the machind took over recovered all the data files, repaired and cleared a path for restart of Firefox. and that failed due to a TLS handshake between Mozilla and Google.failed. I have mozilla, firefox, google and chrome accounts. All google accounts are logged out at this time; mozilla is logged in on the Win 7 machine and the failed refreshed machine needs to do the TLS....

Question: should I log in to google account and repeat a refresh? Seems like a dumb question

I answered my own dumb question.....I signed on to google and I guess Mozilla refress allowed the default browser to get the handshake but I noticed the settings were incomplete on my oped Firefox; once I set my tabs and prefs the web addresses were back to norm....I have a working pair of end of life OS PCs which are still going strong thanks to the Mozilla Open House! Thanks for the support. I have had a good day; Thanks to All. [edited] or [edited emails from community support forum] if you need a follow up or a kind word. Ed

I am reopening the question from 2020 as the solution described no longer seems to apply. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284577

I am running Windows 11. Firefox 144.0 (64-bit)

When entering search terms into the search bar in the centre of the page, the information typed appears in the address bar, even after following the fix described in 1284577.

Treating the address bar as the search bar appears to be the default. While the user can additionally deselect the search engine in the address bar, that is an unnecessary and undesired additional step for every search (the primary reason I am using Firefox)

Is there a way to permanently set the default for what I enter into the search bar to remain in the search bar and not to be managed by the address bar? Thanks, Rich

Hello!

I have an imac 21.5-inch (late 2009) on my table with OS X El Capitan running on it. It has the following specifications: 1. Processor - 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 2. RAM - 8 Gb 3. Graphic card with 256 Mb

I have not been able to update the OS to run most recent Applications, and most of it, the web browsers are not updating as well.

What should I do to get through? Thank you.

Anybody else having issues with this feature? It had been working well to send tabs from my tablet and phone to my desktop computer, which I have been doing due to the lame way that FF uses for filing bookmarks into folders on the mobile devices.

A few days ago I started seeing "unable to send" popping up after a delay, instead of "tab sent" which typically appears immediately. Sometimes, the tab is sent even though it says it wasn't and sometimes it will send it after repeated attempts, and other times it doesn't. My wireless network and ISP connection are high speed and reliable.

So far, the problem only appears when trying to send from mobile to desktop. Sending from the desktop to mobile seems to work fine. The problem started while using 147.0.4 and persists after upgrading to 148.
