How do I resolve scrolling issues (unable to scroll) on many websites. AI recommendations of clearing browsing history and cache have not been effective. Scrolling is possible using Google Chrome.

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I have been using Firefox for years. I am not tech savvy. A very tech savvy member of the family recommended firefox years ago (and now says we should use Brave or another).

Does anyone run Firefox? Why is there no contact centre/people? Why do other members have to answer questions? The reason I am losing total faith in Firefox is that it must made me update and restart and every open window I had (and the tabs on each window) have been lost. I cannot retrieve them, which I have always been able to do via "Restore previous sessions". There was so much important information on those windows and tabs from way back - too far to shift through the history. Can anyone give me one good reason to stay with Firefox? Thankfully, there are many browsers to now use. Firefox has perhaps just become a habit and one I should have changed a long time ago. Thank you.

When I have video playing in Firefox's PIP window (ex: YT) and when I enter full-screen mode in browser, the windows 11 taskbar does not disappear.

It works normally when there is no PIP window.

I have uploaded pictures of: - Not full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and without PIP window

I must find a way to disallow this undesirable and very annoying feature. It is always there even after removing all the protection I could. Please help

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Error Code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

When I press F9 (browsing mode), the VPN automatically turns on. Why is this? This happens even if the VPN was previously disabled on that website!

It's also unclear why I enable the VPN on one website, but it automatically turns on on all the websites I visit. Why? I don't understand! I only need it on one website! I have to constantly disable it! Sometimes websites won't open because of the VPN. But I don't always remember that I have it enabled! Very inconvenient!

Similar names for Connected Services make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices. The workaround is to "send to all devices". I can change my device names but I don't know how to change the Connected Service name. Here are some:

• * * geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-q551ln-ASUS-Laptop
• * * Gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-SM
• * * Firefox on asus ASUS_AI2202
• * * Geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-iMac
• * * Firefox on samsung SM-G781V
• * * gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-LT-SM
• * * Firefox on SM-G960U1 Santa Maria, CA, United States

How can we improve this? Abbreviate Firefox to "Ff"? Use an in-line Firefox glyph? Also, I have a dualboot and run Lubuntu and Windows from the same device. I wonder how I can handle the device name to differentiate which OS I'm logged into.

How can I get right click to open my selection in a new window? this option has disappeared!

When I right click to open a link in a new window, the top 2 boxes of the right click window are blank and below them is AI stuff, but no open link in a new tab/window! where did it go? How can I get the right click open in a new window back??????

Hello, lately when making a purchase the autofill feature for payment is not functioning properly for me. The account numbers appear for selection as normal, and the pop up window that asks for password or fingerprint ID, but it will not select and fill in the data. It doesn't matter whether I choose to use the fingerprint or type in the password. I hope you can help as this is most convenient. ;-) Many thanks

USING BROWSER MOZILLA FIREFOX, UPPER RIGHT POP UP re: UPDATE AVAILABLE. CLICK DISMISS, OFF MY PAGE INTO ACCUWEATHER ([expletive] Page). TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THAT [expletive].

I use a site nextdoor.com and get email notifications. On opening the email, I see the option to view the comment, on clicking on view, this is what happens: . "The site ahead may contain harmful programs

Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).

Advisory provided by Google Safe Browsing." And I can go not further. Why is this happening? How do I dump it and proceed with using nextdoor as normal. gargle is a blight on all users, and I want nothing to do with them. Is it time for me to change browsers?

Please stop your "experimental" Control personal device and local network permissions in Firefox pop ups. Do not wish to participate. And WHY THE FREQUENT UPDATES?
