Firefox Community Forum

I recently downloaded and installed the update to Firefox browser. After installation I find that all my bookmarks (and I mean ALL) are gone. They are gone completely. First time that has happened with an update. Very frustrating!! I had a lot of bookmarks. Lots of music and specific web sites that I frequently use. Now they are gone. Totally disappeared What happened? Is there any chance for recovery. The installation instructions say that I will not lose any data, etc., etc. And I believed it.

For the past 2 months I've found it very difficult to sign into my Hotmail account using Firefox. Microsoft keep telling me to use a VPN or another device. I like answering emails on my computer because of its large screen. I've tried signing in about 2000 times now. Firefox told me they can't help me because I'm not a Mozilla subscriber even though they own Firefox. Microsoft told me it's Mozilla's problem. Can anyone help me please. John in the Philippines.

Hi all, I'm using Firefox 140.0.4 (64-bit) on Debian Trixie and I'm getting a weird behavior with the auto-complete functionality of the address bar.

If I type the first character the address gets auto filled (see 20250711_First-character-auto-fill-working.png attachment), then if I type the second character the auto filled result disappears (see 20250711_Second-character-auto-fill-NOT-working.png).

I've tried any search option combination, but results doesn't change. At the moment I'm using for the address bar just "Browsing history" (see 20250711_Address-bar-settings.png).

The correct behavior would be, as in the past, that new characters confirming the address would leave things as they are. Do you have any suggestion on how to restore the original behavior?

Many thanks,

Raoul

How to whitelist a site to give location access? I have gone to the Location tab in settings, but it will not allow me to enter a URL/domain that I want to whitelist.

I had to reset Firefox because of a hack to my FB account. I've recreated all of the icons I use but Gmail won't add since Google doesn't think my desktop is one of my devices. I can receive Gmail if I use Chrome. I've tried reaching Google by leaving messages @ the Freemont office in Seattle but thought maybe Mozilla had an answer. Thanks for listening.

Firefox is asking for stored payment method information for the user "Carla Clarke" to allow me to sign up for Astrodienst (an Astrology Site). I keep a paper file for a my passwords, but I can't find one for Firefox.

I made the mistake to following Mozilla's advice on why my tabs stopped coming back after I closed out, despite the fact that I had that selected in my settings. Now I'm stuck with an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop and I can't remove it because I need administrator privileges -- but it's my personal PC. WTF

this is the third time i have asked this. I love firefox but your latest updates have slowed down firefox and does things on its own like it has Ai. Google changes like this too and I will no longer us google. if nothing else let me download an older firefox. Rich Stonehouse

I use Proton Pass to manage my passwords. This option has mysteriously vanished from available options. Should I simply stop using Firefox? It's not working very well since I have to fight to enter an updated password. I'm MORE THAN disappointed to learn no one is available too help!!!

When i browse for anything that has some location, like a restaurant, city, or whatever, there is seemingly no way to access google maps for that site from the page. There used to be mutliple ways to go to google maps for that thing either by a "map" text button in the menu under the search bar, or by clicking the thumbnail of tha map you can see in the right of my example. now i have to go specifically search for maps, then search again for the thing there. Why did you make these changes? and will you ever revert/find a solution for this? Its actually such an annoyance for me as much of the searching i do is for looking up places. and related information about those places. If i am missing some functionality or alternative please let me know.

I am facing this issue that When I am using google map on firefox on PC, change to street view by dropping a orange person mark. The map changes to satellite view by mouse scroll down a couple of times automatically. How can I avoid to changing? It doesn't happen on Chrome, Edge and even Brave.

Hello everybody, I'm facing some problems with the camera settings: when accessing vcall sites (e. g. zoom or google meet) they don't ask permissions for the camera, it looks like I have no camera installed, which is not true, of course, and in fact with Ungoogled Chromium everything works fine. When trying to add manually the sites in the whitelist nothing happens, they're simply ignored. On the other side, the microphone settings work properly. Thanks in advance for any support.
