Hi,

In the search bar (I’m not sure about its official name), my previous searches used to appear as suggestions before Google’s own suggestions. However, since I changed my default search engine from Google US to Google UK, it no longer seems to remember the searches I make. I’ve tried switching back to Google US, but that didn’t restore the behavior. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

For example, I previously searched for “things to see in Latvia”, which is why it appears as a suggestion in the screenshot. But if I now search for “things to see in Louvre Museum” and then try the same search again a few hours or days later, it isn’t saved and therefore doesn’t appear as a suggestion.

Thank you!

Missing Topics in Firefox Home

Firefox 146.0.1 (aarch64) macOS 26.2 (25C56) on M2 Pro

Hello.

I'm dealing with a strange issue that began with Firefox 146.0 and continues with 146.0.1. I previously blocked categories I do not care about such as Parenting, Cooking, and others. When doing so, for some reason some of my followed topics including Sports, NFL and NHL no longer appear along with the rest of the topics I've followed. (Please notice only followed sports-related topics disappeared...)

Checking the settings for Firefox Home shows no blocked topics (even those I have explicitly blocked), and checking what I can think to think via about:config shows me nothing I can edit to get my desired topics back.

So, I'm not sure what to edit to get my missing topics back. If they were blocked because of some bug, i cannot see blocked topics in the Firefox Home settings, so I cannot unblock them if that's what would need to be done. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve it or are you aware of some BugZilla or GitHub issue I can watch for this one?

Any help will be certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

So I guess my Firefox update to ver. 147 from 146 by its auto update feature, but I realized all the past personal data (ie, history, cookies, passwords, profile, etc) was gone.

I have Mozilla Account (I think it's the same as Firefox Account back in the old days), so my personal data is now retrieved from some device as far as possible, but I lost local personal settings like Shortcuts on the main page on my laptop,p which is the main device to do everything.

I can't help what happened to me, and I will rebuild what I used to be on that day, but I am curious if it's just me, or there is some logic to cause this data loss.

W11 Main screen, I have all 4 rows turned on.

This happened some time ago and then stopped doing it, I don't know why.

All of a sudden Firefox is back to filling open (and unused) shortcut positions, with old links pulled from the history file. This is clutter. It just started happening. I can manually clear the old links with a millions delete clicks and the empty shortcut position remain free for that session. when I get out of the main screen and return, the unused positions have refilled with old links from history again.

How to I stop this?

Hello,

After using your browser for many years now, I am very frustrated with your updates wiping out my bookmarks. I know how to fix it via the Help menu, but that ridiculous process is now required on EVERY update that has been rolling out over the past 6 months!

That's it - I've moved over to Edge. Someone on your software development team should be fired!

The update alert had a "download" option which I clicked - no warning or info... Later, after probably (?) applying the current update, I remembered the saved download file and executed it, as I thought I was supposed too (why else suggest I download it?) It seems to have guided me thru an initial installation, with no warning that I might be wiping out my finely working 10-year working version of Mozilla. I could have stopped along the way (maybe?) as it wanted me to "Complete Installation" but I drove on, fearing since I'd already installed it, it was to late to back out. Felt trapped and in fact now have a very different looking (uglier) Mozilla than I was familiar with, and have lost all of my old Bookmarks! There was no warning to save the old once first to later re-install. Basically the install from the downloaded file should have noticed that I already had Mozilla installed and warned me about proceeding, but it did not! Grrrrr! That's my complaint!

Oh, doing this on an HP laptop, Windows 10 with purchased extension of Windows 10 support...

I am receiving this on many different websites including CDNs (such as served JS):

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I verified it occurs in Private Tab mode too, without extensions. It does not occur in other browsers such as Chrome when I test the same URL. Clearing my cache etc does not fix it.

Hello all, I have two HP computers running Win10 home on the ESU program and will be buying new computers in several months with Win11 factory installed. One is an Omen desktop and the other is a Envy laptop. I noticed in my Event Viewer after updating Firefox to 147 that I am now getting three consecutive 10016 DCOM Warnings every time I open Firefox. This has never happened before in all the years I have used Firefox. Now I completely understand that we should just ignore 10016 DCOM https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/event-10016-logged-when-accessing-dcom but I find it strange that all of a sudden it is now happening and only for Firefox and on both computers. I do have the procedure to fix DCOM errors but do not like messing with the registry and permissions even though I have in the past with no problems but there is always that chance that it could and I do not want to risk it. I was wondering if any other users are seeing this in their Event Viewer System Log for Firefox or is this a known or unknown Firefox update problem or what.

Respectfully, Don

418 Hello, I like your site (and I donate a little from time to time), but some of Firefox's behavior is becoming annoying: for months now, Le Monde articles have been cut off on the right (not those from Le Figaro), and recently Instagram has been blocking the browser after a few posts. Of course, it might be "their fault," but it's clear that it doesn't happen like that with Chrome. Good luck!

This automatically suplied email recipient address is invalid. I've tried clearing the cache for the webpage to no avail. The problem doesn't occur in the Chrome browser. Kind regards Michael
