Firefox 社群討論區

Best Buy Tech support took control of my computer today to get my printer to scan to the computer. After that was done, I went to my FIREFOX hompage only to see it completely changed from the way it was and I am now trying to get it back.

I'm getting the following error message:

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I don't know what prompted this concern on my Windows 11-based laptop, but I only noticed this last night doing some research for another issue. I don't have any of my bookmarks showing up in the bookmarks section, nor will it allow me to click the star on any tab to bookmark the page. I have restarted and shut down my laptop several times and this is not solving the concern. Let me know if you need more information or if I need to start this inquiry again elsewhere, but again it sounds like the same concern.

I have included a screenshot of the exact error for accuracy's sake. Like everyone else here, I'm trying to get my bookmark and history access back up and running but not sure how to go about it.

I couldn't get past the first fix suggestion because I am not sure how to restart Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?as=u&utm_source=inproduct&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&redirectlocale=en-US). I have restarted my laptop several times but the issue still persists.

Please advise.

Ironically, I am not having this issue on my older PC that is still operating on Windows 10. I can view history and access or add bookmarks with no concern to my knowledge.

For over a year, my browser occasionally loses connectivity. It may work for 3 hours or 3 days, but inevitably new tabs will stop working and then slowly the others will stop as well. When this happens, none of my other browsers are impacted. They work fine. It is only Firefox. The only solution is to close everything and lose all my work.

Once I do that and restart Firefox, I receive an error message telling me I am using an older version of Firefox that is not compatible with my profile. The only solution that brings me back to the best starting place is to re-install Firefox.

My company IT spent 3 days trying to find the problem and couldn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled so many times. All extensions are turned off, as are the two add-ons. I have been using Firefox for over a decade and prefer it to all other browsers, but I need to find a solution or I am going to have to move on. Help!!!

I've tryed all obvious instructions and my bookmarks toolbar will not sync

Hello,

I have disabled AI according to the instructions given by Mozilla, under settings and AI controls. When I search, I still get the first result as an AI generated result. I want to disable that. I don't need AI's help to understand what I am looking for. I want an old school search without AI.

Is this possible? If not, could you please make it possible?

Thanks.

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

I cannot sign in to my banking website. I assume it's something to do with cookies or permissions. This is on my desktop, but I have no problem on my I-pad. I have the latest version of Firefox and I am using Windows 10.

Hi, Firefox (PC or Mobile) can't load this web page ( https://www.keter.com/fr-fr/nous-contacter.html ), but Google Chrome or Microsfoft Edge can. Screenshot with Firefox and Chrome Just this form, i can browse the site without any problems. Any ideas? Thank you

Suddenly to use Passwords list on Firefox Windows is demanding I sign into Windows, where previously I used the special "master" password I use only on Firefox. I want to disable this intrusion.

I was browsing for vacant jobs in LinkedIn and ended up on this page: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4400116024/?trackingId=&refId=&midToken=AQHkKqfITpiwdw&midSig=2f8JsuceFtMYc1&trk=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job&trkEmail=eml-email_jobs_application_rejected_01-similar_jobs-0-similar_job-null-g3nlj~mo2hn6z8~of-null-null&eid=g3nlj-mo2hn6z8-of&otpToken=MTAwMjFlZTQxNjJhYzljM2JlMmYwMmVkNDAxYWU3YjA4NmNiZDQ0MzlkYWQ4NTZjNzljMTAxNjg0ZjU4NWZmM2YzZGZiN2JjNTVjNWZjZTc3YjhmZDg3ZWQ5YTExZWUyMDg1N2Q1YzI4OGNjNDU0MjU3YTEsMSwx But pressing the Apply button, did not take me to the application page, but instead a page that was saying: "Be careful. Something doesn’t look right. Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with jobs.tuvsud.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails." And there was no option to ignore this and just go to the site??? I needed to open MS Edge instead, to be able to apply for the job???

When I've had trouble signing-in to a commercial website, it often says, "Clear your cache." But in Firefox settings, it looks like clearing it will cause my frequently-used passwords to disappear. Am I reading that correctly? If it's true, how can I clear my cache without losing "remembered" passwords and other log-in information?

I'm not very tech-savvy, so need instructions in very plain, "for dummies" English. Thank you for any help.

You say to go to the download page and my version of Windows will be detected & you'll give me the correct version. However, IE 8 in Windows 7 won't go to your download page. So, I need to download from another computer and copy the file to the Windows 7 computer. This doesn't work when you detect that the computer doing the download is a newer computer. How do I tell your system to give me the Windows 7 installer?

when i right click my search bar on the top of the page i cant find the button to delete my search history anymore when it was there like yesterday. is my computer breaking or something??? help

• OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 22H2 (build 19045.6466) • Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) • Thunderbird 140.8.1esr (64-bit)

Have NO idea "which topic best describes my question" from your drop-down list (above), so simply clicked on one.

Restarted my PC; all of my bookmarks disappeared. NOT acceptable. (Or is this just another "improvement" from Firefox . . . ?)

Where did they go; how do I retrieve them?

Really don't want to wait days until there's a response, as I DO USE MY BOOKMARKS ALL OF THE TIME.

Thank you.

Why is the address bar now a search? This is annoying. How can I change this? I have already change about:config settings to false and nothing changes.

Thank you Rafal
