After the update suddenly the download window is huge. Before it would go away after I downloaded something but now it stays. I have to click it away after every download which is really annoying. Any tips on how I can make it go back to how it was before?

1. Default home page keeps getting reset to "Browser default" every day or two.
2. The search engine choice keeps defaulting "Browser default" and goes to Yahoo. My preference is Google.

Earlier someone said that one of the Add-ons might be causing this and that i should disable all of them and try. No improvement. It still keeps happening.

I even re-installed FF to no avail.

Can someone help sort this out?

Many thanks.

I am in the process of moving all of our passwords into 1Password. However, I discovered that my wife has her Firefox set to auto login, but can't remember her user name and password. So, although she can use it, she can't change update the password. The fact that on setup, auto login is the default makes this doubly frustrating. So, is there any way to get to the password?

I received the message Access Denied Error 121 while working on my Ancestry.com page. I have always had access to Ancestry using Firefox. I tried logging off of Ancestry and logging back in. That did not fix the problem. I also made sure that Ancestry is on the Standard setting for cookies. That did not fix it either.

What do I need to do to fix the problem. I use a MAC. As I said before, I have always used Firefox for my Ancestry work because the site works better on Firefox than Safari.

Please help,

hello,

i am wondering, is there a way to automatically have my posted question emailed to me? Meaning, when i post a question here, can i choose that a copy of it be sent to me? (many other sites, such as google and ebay, have this option, and it is very helpful).

thanks!

Hi Support,

I tried to upgrade Firefox on my Mac. The file could not complete because it said it was either corrupted or incomplete. I then re-downloaded another Firefox update, but can't find my browser history.

Please help!! Thank you!

edit bump: /moved thread from Firefox for iOS (iPhone/iPad) to (desktop) Firefox section since you have macOS.

Firefox is a very private browser, and that is why I like it. But recently, when I was pairing my Android Firefox with my Mac Firefox, Firefox asked me whether I want to confirm pairing. This all worked fine, but I noticed that Firefox mentioned the home folder of the account on my mac on which it was installed to identify that Firefox instance running on my Mac. This home folder is the name of my user account, which is my actual name. So Firefox has access to and is in some sense broadcasting my actual name over the internet. I understand that this might be only viewable by me and encrypted, so not even viewable by Firefox itself let alone the public internet (and I hope my understanding is correct and this is indeed the case--correct me if I am wrong), but it was still disconcerting that "metadata" like this is floating around the internet which can easily identify someone even if he goes to great lengths for privacy.

Firefox crashes when laptop screen locks. I close my laptop, wait a bit, open it, and Firefox has closed. No error messages. Re-open browser, no error message. On wifi with a VPN

Can Imported Bookmark File, Located @ Bottom of Firefox Bookmarks, Be Deleted ?

- Or Will Deletion of File also delete newly created Firefox Bookmarks created using these imported files ?

I would like to why in 2022 in the year of our Lord do NOT have a to either export nor save our WINDOW and TAB history. Please do not reply to me with " goto Setting> General > Open Previous Window and Tabs check." That has been DONE! It is NOT a fail-safe option if you quit out the app or shutdown. Firefox will error and not remember the previous layout. Shy can there not be a proper "SAVE" browser feature so if you have important web pages open you do not loose opened windows and/or tabs, and the browser has that archive from your previous session??? It's a mindbogglingly simple request and feature which requires little RAM or processor memory. Other browsers have that simple feature. I guess I need to switch to Chrome.

Hello, Was working just fine, then cleared cookies and cache and now when I try to log onto my GoDaddy site, I get the message, "Your browser is a bit unusual. Try allowing pop-up, adding Java script. How do I fix this and what could have happened? Thx

Hi there,

I cleared my cache after it told me it had stored a gazillion GB in data - but the big number was still there after clearing the cache. Needless to say my harddrive isn't even as big as the GB number shown, so there must be a gremlin in there somewhere? Thought you'd want to know. I'm using the latest Firefox on Mac OS 10.15.7

QUESTION POSTED NOV 2020 by: BevHoward NEVER ANSWERED - PLEASE ADVISE - NEED ANSWER

"I have hundreds of FireFox bookmarks organized in bookmarks folders and subfolders which makes sense most of the time.

However, with seldom used bookmarks, often I cannot remember where the bookmark itself is located, and, I need like to find the bookmark and note the folder where it resides then perhaps move the bookmark to a folder that makes more sense the next time it's needed.

While I can "search" bookmarks and use the bookmark, there is no apparent way to determine where the bookmark itself is located, so, I am forced to use "search" every time I need to use it. "Abandoning" a lost bookmark location and creating a duplicate does not seem right.

There MUST be a way to find where a bookmark is located. What am I missing?"

This works on almost every single app on my MBP but not Firefox, the menu item is simply not there for Firefox. Also, Firefox hides a lot default menu items in "Window" menu. Is there anything I can do about this?

Hello,

I just upgraded to Firefox 98.0.1. And there doesn't seem to be an option to add Pocket suggestions to the homepage, as there used to be.

You can add Pocket articles that you've saved, but not suggestions from Pocket.

It used to be under settings - home - recommended by Pocket.

Has this been removed from the options?

Thanks, Taylor

hi all!

how can i add the choose search engine dropdown menu in the address bar? now it only shows results from whichever search engine i choose as the default, eg google, from firefox prefs. Even though i have around 6 others chosen as alternative engines. Foe example, i often wish to quickly switch to wikipedia ,or duckduckgo search, etc.

thanks for your help!
