Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

I just want to know WHERE the notifications land? I have a very old macbook pro (mid 2010) so I have a sneaking suspicion firefox is trying to tell me something about not being supported, yadayadayada, BUT where are the notifications? The OS am currently using is High Sierra 10.13.6 CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE? Sorry to be such a klutz but these banners appear every day and I can't seem to access whatever it is that firefox is trying to communicate. Thanks all!

Hi I have a firefox account which I use on 2 macs and a PC as well as an android phone. For the past few months non of my book marks, passwords etc are being synced across the system and I have now completely different book marks on different devises. I have synced each computer multiple times without effect. This used to work perfectly before I changed my password a few months back. It is now reaching a point that firefox is no longer usable for me?? Thanks for your help

Hi I use a PC running Windows 10. I created a new email adress using Outlook. All is displayed correctly in Outlook.live (subir inbox, outbox, draft, archive, etc)

Now when I try to add the same account (email adress) in Thunderbird PC (last release), the system found well my data (IMAP, SMTP...), but is unable to display submenus. Only the Inbox appears. The setup is not complete and I have no error. But in Thunderbird I received a notification stating something about the authentication of that new email adress but I have no access to the full notification (when I clic on the notification it disappears).

I deleted this account (data and message) in Thunderbird, closed Thunderbird, and created it again, same result. Only the subdir inbox appears.

In Outlook.live this account works fine, I can send and receive emails.

In Thunderbird I can also send emails but I do not receive them while they are received in Outlook.live. So it seems that there an issue in Thunderbird And I have no opportunity to add the account manually.

Any suggestion to solve this issue ?

I am used to having a Firefox for my personal Mozilla account, bookmarks and sessions, and Firefox Developer Edition to be logged in my work account, where I could use everything I need to work in a separate environment.

Recently I changed a job. Logged out past-job@mail.com from Firefox Developer Edition, logged in with present-job@mail.com and... I still can see old bookmarks.

- I cleared history and new bookmarks: nothing
- went to about:preferences#privacy and clear all the data: bookmarks still there
- tried Help > More troubleshooting information > Refresh Firefox…: all the same
- reinstalled firefox@developer-edition with brew: nah
- eventually, logged out from presetn-job@mail.com in Firefox Developer Edition and personal@mail.com in Firefox; uninstalled both, deleted everything related to "mozilla" and "firefox" was able to find in my system: unsuccessfully

The last thing I didn't try yet is burning my laptop in favor to a new one.

Where are those bookmarks? Why nothing is helping?

Hello. I have a question. When I scan a PDF file in Firefox, it opens in a new window. Why? I don't mind it opening in a new tab, so I would prefer it to open in a tab.

So for some reason both the navigation and status bar always stay visible for me when I try to watching any full screen videos.

Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a solution to it?

Hi, I have my calendar connected to my Google calendar. It works great in both ways. I can add in Thunderbird and it show up in Google and vice versa. But one issue, when I get a meeting invitation and I accept, it always get in the "Home" calendar and not in my Google one. I have tried to sort them with my Google at top, and if I delete all other calendars it can not be saved at all. And can not find any other settings.

Any suggestions? Or is it just not possible? Maybe a function for a coming update? Or have I just missed out some obvious?

Best regards /Mike

I upgraded to 143.2 on iOS 26.0.1, but I cannot access any swipe tab gestures, which I assume means I can just swipe left and right in address bar to move between tabs.

I've seen on this forum from April that people are having an issue with Firefox and Google Passkey. I'm trying to log into my gmail accounts and can't get passkey to work. It freezes the browser and I'm not sure why this hasn't been resolved. Mac updated to Tahoe recently and I was on Sequoia 15.7.x (not sure exactly. Still froze. Photos are to show what's happening and that I needed to Force Quit each time.

Hola Estoy probando Firefox para seguir resultados de fútbol en vivo y noté que a veces algunas páginas tardan un poco más en actualizar los marcadores.

Por ejemplo, en sitios como Jeinz Macias, que muestran partidos y resultados en tiempo real, el navegador funciona bien, pero me gustaría optimizarlo aún más.

¿Existe alguna configuración o extensión recomendada para mejorar la velocidad de carga o la actualización automática de páginas en Firefox? ⚽ Agradecería mucho sus consejos o experiencias con esto

Every time I update my drivers for Nvidia it of course reloads the screens. This causes all the tabs in Firefox to become separated on the Windows 11 taskbar. In other words, it looks like I have a new firefox window open for each tab (which I'm assuming is how it works but it's hidden most of the time).

It's not a HUGE deal per se, but it is kind of annoying. I have to close then reopen Firefox.

Like seeekerman who initiated the now-closed discussion at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1433369, I have used Firefox since its first release. With one exception - open image in new tab - I never use tabs. I want all the usable vertical space I can get.

For some time, Firefox on Windows (Windows 11, FF 143.0.4) has been showing a tab bar under the menu items, and above the bar with the URL etc.

How can I hide this when the FF window has only one tab, which is almost all the time for me?

The solution provided to seeekerman in that discussion, on 2023-12-08, was to create a userChrome.css file with some special incantations. I tried this it did not work.

My Thunderbird was not finding messages that I could see were there.

I followed the advice here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database.

I deleted the (large) global-messages-db.sqlite (I have been using Thunderbird for a long time - and I am monthly contributor).

The rebuild gets to a certain point and then stops (as indicated by Tools Activity Manager). Always at the same point. I guess there is a bad message in there somewhere. But now I am worse off than before.

I tried rebuilding several times. I have also compacted the account folders of the account that stopped and then tried rebuilding.

I have many years of messages in there and I need a functioning search. What can I do?

When I try to send an email I get this message

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Authentication required. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

My email address in my account settings is correct. What can I do?

Hello, I wanted to create a script that doesn't allow me to disable a certain extension. For that I thought to locate the file in which the states of extensions are put. I searched online, and the answer appears to be that such file is available in extensions folder in my profile. However, I am unable to find extensions folder under my profile.

I would appreciate the help.

Hi, can the function mention above be remove or flag off somehow? For me watching icon is already enough. cause when hover the side of the website to navigate accidentally expand the sidebar and in some time is just expand many times probably due to a bug.
