Firefox settings let me set a home page URL, which is opened when I click on the home button. However, Firefox always opens with the Firefox Home page, and the only new-tab options are a blank page or the Firefox Home.

Previously, I could set a URL for startup and for new tabs. This 2025 tech page describes it:

All of the other browsers that I have tried allow me to set the startup URL and the new tab URL. Firefox has apparently been changed to eliminate those options. Please bring them back!

Thanks,

Sam

I tried to sync 2 times, but says it's complete, but their are no files showing. Once or twice I was able to sign in to the old yahoo, but it disappears and I can't find it again. I am not a lover of this new screen because all my info is gone. I can't even get my email without a ton of ads!!!!!!! I want my information back, now! I have work to do on my PC, but since I have no contact info,

I don't have access to the Firefox I had 2 days ago.  Firefox asked if I wanted to go to the original screen and I checked yes 2 different times, with no result. I think the all's ok is because it's syncing the new Firefox and there is nothing there.  Please, I need my information badly.

like instead of selecting the "clean copy" from the drop down which is just a split second. can't you just give us a toggle in the settings to just always clean copy for any copied link?

I have 'Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox' enabled. In the list of exceptions, I have many website listed, most of which work (such as 'crucnyroll.com'), however I am having issues with certain sites, in this case 'bandcamp.com' and 'the-trackr.com'. When closing and reopening Firefox, the rest of my Exceptions retain Cookies and Site data fine, but these two websites specifically seem to ignore the rule. I have tried disabling all my extensions, changing settings around, and reading through the 'about:config' page but couldn't find anything which would resolve this issue. I have things setup this way to prevent tracking from random forums, blog posts and the kind, but can only seem to resolve this issue by re-enabling cookies for all websites. Any and all help is appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Hi, I am on Firefox 159.0 and I am having troubles with cookies being cleared on sites that I have allowed under Privacy and Security > Browsing data > Managing exceptions and Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox. I have GitHub ("https://github.com") allowed in the exceptions and if I restart Firefox after signing in, then I am logged out of GitHub. Is there any way to fix this?

Can anyone help me get out of Multi-Line Mode in Firefox Desktop Web Developer Tools? I need to run specific commands and it doesn't behave like I expect it to. Any help is appreciated. Many thanks! 🙂

I have selected a specific website to load when I open Firefox. It does so, but a moment later, the Spotify website also appears—which I didn't ask for. How do I get rid of it?

My earlier version of Firefox allowed me to place my downloads as I felt, rather than making me transfer them from downloads to their file. Now with my new version installed in my new laptop, it disregards the ask where to save option selected. PLEASE FIX THIS, i don't want to have to change browsers but I will since it will be easier in the long run in comparison to regularly transferring download files.

windows 11 Firefox . Unable to close tabs on X button when multiple tabs are open. Occurs after sleep state. Solution is right click and then close each tab or close application.

I have been confused on the last several days, until I finally realized what was happening. The bookmarks are not the same in the regular browser and the private windows browsing. I am not sure why they would be different. I use Windows 11 pro and installed the Firefox app. I have to use private browsing for some of my applications and can just use the regular window for the rest. Now I have missing bookmarks and it is a mess. Some are on one screen and some are on private browsing. As a note: I do not sign in with an account in the Firefox settings, nor should I have to. I do not like all the tracking and everything that happens when you have to sign in on a browser with an account. I should not have to do that for my bookmarks to work between the two windows. This is a real issue. I have Firefox 159.0 (64-bit).

This is what I get when I try to go from an email to there site, why? This is something new.

Server Not Found

Firefox can’t connect to the server at ctrk.klclick1.com. What can you do about it?

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly and try again in a few moments.
   Check your network connection.
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall).

Received emails from Mozilla saying that my account, Firefox and everything related to it will be deleted end of October. For now I've reported that as phishing but I'm not sure.

Please advise.

Support,

After updating Firefox to 159.0, two Firefox windows were opened although only one was open at the time before Firefox was closed during a Windows 11 Update! The first window was expected but the one below at the URL was not:

This has happened before. Please address.

Firefox Color themes and vertical tabs—it’s enough to drive you crazy. For starters, most existing themes don’t support vertical tabs, so the tab bar just looks awful. And even after I went to the trouble of creating my own theme, a subsequent update left the sidebar without the actual background image—it’s just a plain, solid color now. What’s the point of putting in all that effort to make things look good, only for a single Firefox update to ruin everything? They’re pushing these vertical tabs on us, yet they haven’t even bothered to implement proper support for them. I really wish they’d finally address the vertical tabs and give them a decent, polished look; it’s not a bad feature, it’s just half-baked.
