Firefox Community Forum

A banner appears upper right of screen, stating firefox has 3 notifications (or 1 or 2 etc) but I don't know where to look for them. Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro from 2010 (when they knew how to make things that lasted) with firefox version 115.22.0esr on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (which is apparently the last version I can use as computing has vastly outraced my laptops capacity and we are expected to update everything to catch up with security glitches etc so tough sh*t if everything goes wrong. Welcome to capitalism folks.)

Ahem, but I was saying: where are these notifications and why isn't it obvious?

I have tried to make Firefox my default browser on my Dell laptop dozens of times and it keeps switching back to other browsers. How can I set if so it does not keep changing my default browser from of being Firefox? I have set is as Firefox default and it keeps changing it from Firefox. Many thanks, Alan

I found the tab groups more annoying than useful, so I went into about:studies and removed it, but doing so just makes a study entirely disappear with no way to bring it back if you misclicked, so that made me wonder, is removing studies permanent? Is it impossible to opt back in once you've opted out of a particular study?

I'm not particularly regretting my choice in this case, but it made me nervous how easy it would be to lose access to a feature just by accidentally clicking the wrong thing.

Before Hackers stole my money out of Navy Federal Credit Union, my cellular phone number was (463) [personal info removed]. That number has been changed to (317) [personal info removed]. Please update my account to reflect my new number.

Thank you kindly.

The website used to load but it no longer allows me to sign in. I had this problem before and never knew how to fix it but it would eventually work again... How do I solve this?

(April 2025) So suddenly, after my most recent FF update, if I have a document open in FF and hit "print" and choose "use system dialog box" (or whatever the exact wording is), Firefox Print opens up instead of my usual system dialog box. Why is this happening, and is there a setting I can change to DEFAULT to the regular SYSTEM PRINT dialog box instead.

I do not like FF Print. It prints one page at a time w/ like a minute pause between pages in a multi page document. And when I need more settings, it opens up the HP dialog box anyway, so wtf is the point? I just want my system dialog box back where all my print settings are in one place.

Thank you for any help!

Deleting accumulated labels for deleted bookmarks

Good day,

I organize my bookmarks progressively, categorizing them by folders and labels. The labels are stored (libraries - above all the bookmarks) within their respective folder "labels". I deleted some bookmarks a few days ago and noticed that I am unable to delete the labels which have accumulated and been automatically recorded in the "Labels" folder.

How can I delete these numerous labels that are no longer linked to any bookmarks ?

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

As the first screen capture shows (sorry it's in spanish), my PDF documents tend to not print on the full page, but rather only on the top left corner of it, i've already fiddled with the scaling and fit to page, i have cleared the printer settings from mozilla, still the same, ive gone into the about:config menu and changed paper_height, paper_width, shrink_to_fit, and scaling nothing works. The document prints fine on Edge (screenshot 2), no problems with fit, and what's even crazier is that some PDF files work just fine (Screenshot 3). Honestly i have no clue what else to do.

1. I accidentally moved the address bar in Firefox and I cannot get it back where it belongs. This is causing me and inordinate amount of stress. It should be simple. I want the address bar back at the top. Not in the middle, and half way to the right of the screen. 2. Webpages are now displaying with "blank" space on both side of the window. 3. The bookmark bar comes and goes. In the screenshot... it has disappeared again.

Reinstalling Firefox did not help at all. Please help... this is stressing me out far more than it should.....

First, I'm legally blind. I've been using the same gmail account (David.BTL.Thomson@gmail.com) for about 35 years and trying to set up a new linux system. Gmail works on the two older computers in the same room. This setup seems to ask everything but my password; what am I doing wrong?

 You can send an answer to my old account. 

    May be that not enough of the computer is set up: what's critical for gmail?
