I have six windows that I use the most. Sometimes I open more windows, but before quitting Firefox, I close windows that are outside of the first six. But if I don’t close the additional windows, the next time I open Firefox, they are all the same position as they were when I closed Firefox.

And that is good.

The problem is, with the taskbar locked, while using Firefox and using Windows the way it’s intended- opening, closing and switching different windows as I need them, the six windows in Firefox switch positions. The windows shift positions so that 6 is 5 and 5 is 6 and 3 is 2 and 1 is 3 and so on. It’s all random.

So why do the windows shift positions?

It is a hassle to have to keep lining them up again and again throughout the day, so that they are always in the right place so that I don’t have to click each taskbar item to find out which window it is. If they remain in the correct order, I have no trouble or wasted time looking for the window I need to use.

The shifting Firefox windows at random is the problem. That is what this inquiry is about.

Here is a temporary fix without having to set them all up from scratch. It takes a few manipulations, but still better than remembering all the tabs in each window then opening each window and tab one at a time in the order I prefer them to be in. I use an addon called Tab Session Manager. This is not an advertisement for the addon. It is necessary to mention it in case others have the same “switching” windows problems. The addon allows you to save each window, then open each of the saved windows in the proper order.

The things I’m trying to get an answer to, are the following questions:

1. Why do the Firefox windows switch positions? 2. And how do I stop it from happening again?

Any help or direction will be appreciated. Thanks.

I had a number of tabs open when my phone rang. After the call I checked the browser, and most of the tabs were gone. Usually there is an option to "restore previous session" in History, but it is not there now. I would like to go back to that previous session. Is there a way to do that?

Frequently, I notice on Youtube the UI just freezes entirely for ~1-5 seconds, usually periodically. I've measured it most recently around every 10 seconds or so (manual stopwatch in another tab, so a little faster or slower possible).

When in this state, I can often notice it frequently: on hovering over buttons the UI does not highlight them, the video controls will not appear, or the page will not fill the screen on resize, can't click into search, etc. Basically just full page freeze except for media playback.

It's disappeared and come back a few times, but tends to be more often there than not. This occurs on every page of Youtube. I've tried disabling basically all my extensions and refreshing the page without any change.

I've also captured a performance profile while I was moving around between buttons and observing the issue, as I assume it might help diagnose: https://share.firefox.dev/3Xqz7co

Hi,

I have logged in in a new device with my firefox account and I can´t see anything of my backed up data.

Passwords, bookmarks, pluggins are gone... And I checked before that I had my sync on and everything was synced.

Before that, I added a secondary email and then put it as primary. Could you please check?

Hi there,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I've posted in the wrong place or have missed something obvious.

I running Windows 10, fully updated, on a laptop. I have been using Firefox browser now for many years, suits my needs and avoid's using Goolges Chrome. My Firefox was updated a in the last few days and it shows as up to date on Version 129.0.1 64bit.

I noticed late last night that when opening a fresh window and enter a search term in either the address bar or the Google search bar, my usual choice of search engine, I hit return and nothing happens. Any text I've input disappears totally. Not at all sure what's going on but have found that if I open a new private window Firefow will act as I'd expect without any issues.

I have two other browsers on my laptop, Edge and also Avast's own offering which both work as expected when I enter a search term. Have never experienced this before with the exception of years ago when malware protection wasn't great. It almost seems as though something is just stopping Firefox from searching anything I enter. I can use the bookmarks just fine and then everything works as usual.

Yesterday I thought that maybe following the new windows culmulative updates I was offered and apparently installed just fine, that I needed to restart which a tried and I thought it had cured the issue. Seems that it hasn't and still having the same issue.

Any idea's or thought's on what the cause of this is?

When attempting to access or refresh my online brokerage page I get a white spinning circle. It seems to go on for 30 seconds or so. While it is present the page is dysfunctional. I had recently changed some settings or a 3rd part program made some changes. I know not which setting or other may cause the spinning circle to be evoked. There is a break in the circle at about 3:18...that's the part that spins.

Note: I always export all bookmarks to backup file and copy that to several safe locations for needed synchronization across different browsers and also restoring them if needed. Problem: I have repeatedly selected all items in Firefox bookmarks sub-folders and then followed by importing html bookmarks thinking that I was updating my bookmarks, so all my browsers had same. Instead, what I find is duplicated sets of bookmarks building up about 10-fold so that now any search for a site yields far too many duplicate listings and it is a mess. How do I prevent this from happening and how do I actually and truly delete all boomkarks in Firefox?

Aside topic: For all the folks who have accidentally lost bookmarks, my experience with losses has lead to always having backup files of bookmarks and backup listings in word or Excel of all my settings and extensions, etc. Automation has advantages, but it introduces new headaches. I can never allow myself to believe that everything will one day be just rosy. Also, multiple different browsers can be very helpful.

For about the past week I've been having trouble with Gmail and Google Search in my Firefox browser. Typically, I open a Firefox window with multiple tabs and leave the window open all day. I always have Gmail and Google Calendar open in tabs. What happens is that the Gmail tab will at some point give me a message that it cannot connect and has timed out and is trying to reload, but it never reloads, it just stalls. Then I try to open a Google search bookmark to search and the tab remains blank. This happens multiple times throughout the day. Meanwhile I can open Gmail or any Google page in Chrome, which I don't like using.

Sometimes I can close out the Gmail tab that won't load and try to open Gmail in a new tab, but that stalls out too. The only way I can open Gmail again is to close out the Firefox window completely and then relaunch it, then it can open Gmail or Google... until it breaks again.

This never used to happen. I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and Firefox on my desktop PC. Nothing else has changed.

Please help me fix this, it's very annoying.
