I have been trying to learn how to get my AdBlock extension that I had on old pc to my new PC. The info is very confusing. I have tried to look at settings, etc. and do not find a way to get this extension.

Please Help!

Patricia Burke Firefox user for years!

i'm on a macbook pro. the firefox icon is in my dock. when i'm in another app and i want to go to the firefox window i access several times daily, i'm instead brought to the window i went to most recently and i have to tap the icon again to get to the one i want and this happens every time i tap the icon. i've rebooted several times, i've cleared cache except for passwords. i don't know what else to do and it's really annoying

Just want to sign it Mozilla makes it hard than normal to sign in. Doing this all afternoon. Do not need to do this. I have to get to do other things. Doing this for protection for my google accounts, etc. Try to straighten out the mozilla account lst. Check who's tried to mess with my account with mozilla because I read that it checked. I am big time stressed out

How can I customize url and search fields to remove the search engine dropdown, and ideally make the URL fields ONLY work with URLs and the search field only work with my default search engine?

A recent update has completely broken my muscle memory: I'm used to typing Cmd-L to move to the URL field, then a single tab to move to the search field, where I immediately start typing.

Now, that single tab moves me to the search engine dropdown, which I don't even want to use, so every time I try to search I have to stop and back up and it's badly affecting my workflow.

How can I either change the tab order or just get rid of the dropdown completely? If I want to use a different search engine, I can always just go to their page instead of using the search bar.

Also, is the URL field now exactly the same as the search field? I really want them to behave differently - I don't want to touch search if all I'm doing is re-visiting a URL in my history. Is there a way to have a URL field that ONLY works with URLs and avoids search, and a separate search field that works with my default search engine?

Thanks for your help.

Hi. I tried to log in to my new bank website today and it's asking me, each and every time, to fill out the pass code it has sent to my email. I went in to settings on Firefox and added the website as an exception so that the cookies for that website aren't deleted and, lo and behold, when I try to log in, again the bank website is challenging it as a new device and sending me a one-time code! So, for some reason, it hasn't saved, or at least not registered, the fact that this should be a safe website where cookies are saved!

I'm trying to copy and paste the list of exceptions to show you but it's not allowing me to copy and paste them.

Can you please clarify how I can add these cookies so that the website doesn't see my desktop as a new computer each and every time I log in to my account on my desktop?

So basically, I turn on the Search engine suggestions on to show it but every time i type it in the search bar to expect search suggestions but seeing nothing in the search bar.

It not only the search engines, i unchecked the "Open previous windows and tabs" but every time i opened up the browser, my previous tabs are opened when I turned off my pc.

I tried to factory restart firefox and ticked the 'Show search suggestions' but when I pressed the search bar and type something, there's no search suggestions on that.

Firefox for android v 158.0.2 , Galaxy a14 5g

When I bookmark YouTube videos the bookmark title is empty. This problem started right after the recent Firefox update.

Use of VPN makes increasing site access "unable".

Most serious example is accessing Schwab financial accounts.

I work around by turning VPN off but that undermines one of key reasons for using VPN.

Solutions?

Every time I stream from Xfinity through Firefox, it logs me out and tells me to log back in. When I log in and stream again it just logs me out again. This just started for me. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Since I downloaded a Firefox security update yesterday, I no longer can receive a newspaper and click on the read today's issue in my email. Today, I went to a library to sign in and was told it wasn't safe. Firefox refused my access. I have used that library site for 15 years and never had a problem. I have tried to manage various parts in Secuity and Privacy but nothing works. What is going on with this extreme security and how do I change it or do I move to another browser that has flexibilty. I do not want to give up long time sites because Firefox doesn't approve.

Tried to re set my imac password which is also my password for passwords folder this was successful

Then tried to change my primary password but could not as my old primary password not accepted , however my system still shows the primary password as on.

By pressing cancel i have access to all my files.

Do i need to follow the change my primary procedure with all the mess of losing all my saved passwords.

thanks Mike

Why have amazon prime videos stopped working with firefox and how can I fix it?. It was working last week and suddenly stopped. Now all attempts to play videos are met with a permanent Amazon hourglass.

Hello Community and/or Support,

After installing the latest "Mozilla VPN Release 2.40.0" upon Windows 11 Version 26H2 OS Build 26300.9711, I received the follow error message 3 to 4 times in a row. after acknowledging the error (pressed "OK").

(See attached image) Mozilla VPN.exe - Bad Image is either not designed to run on Windows or It contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status OxcOOON28.

Prior to installation, I just booted my computer and observed that my VPN App needed to be updated. I did not open any other app or perform any other work.

The VPN update informed me that it needed to close my current VPN connection to continue with the installation Update, which I allowed the update to manage.

In my troubleshooting efforts, reviewing other forums, and ask Google Gemini, I have performed the following. 1). Rebooted the computer after install. (Same Error Message) 2). Uninstall and reinstall Mozilla VPN. (Same Error Message) 3). Updated my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti driver to the latest release. (Same Error Message) 4). Ran "sfc /scannow" as administrator within the Command Prompt (Same Error Message). 5). Ran "dissm /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" (Same Error Message).

Is there a method to correct the "Bad Image" error from popping up after restarting my computer? Also, would someone be so kind to inform the Mozilla VPN software team of this error?

Thank you all for your time!

After my Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS OS restarts from installing updates all the icons in my favorites disappear so i have to manually re install them.

Is there a fix for this issue?

Thanks Jerrall
