I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

refreshed firefox because it seemed to be crashing and to reset addons. when i relogged my tabs were saved however nothing else was. My addons did not automatically load and after manually loading a few, noticed that my passwords were deleted. pretty please with sugar on top, Where are my F..king passwords???

Firefox applied an update and now there is a puzzle piece icon on my toolbar for extensions at the top right. I have tried to edit my toolbar but that icon can't be moved, removed, or hidden and it's where my bookmarks icon usually is which is messing with my work flow a lot. I work very fast and have years of muscle memory of clicking the first icon at the top right to open bookmarks and now I keep opening extensions.

Hey. Didn't know where to put this so I listed it under website breakages. Is wikipedia acting ok for anyone else? Half of the pages and the like aren't showing up correctly. Some will come up fine, but others are very much coming up weirdly. I'm including a picture of one such page with the odd appearance. Anyone know what's causing this and/or how to fix it?

Hello,

I accidentally remove all saved login information and all data remove form my firefox account. Now I can't login into one of my student email address which password changed with firefox auto generated password. Is there way to restore previous sync information ?

Is there a simple method to turn off the annoying popup notifications about upgrading Firefox? I don't want to upgrade, FF seems to be working fine. Sometimes updates bring new problems.

I'm not a programmer, so I'm hoping there is a simple fix to stop update notices. I think it was a bad idea to have them appear in front of other websites. They often popup when I'm watching something on Netflix.

I would like to add different pictures to the Fire Fox Home page from time to time. How can I add a picture to the home screen? I am switching from Google Chrome because Google is no longer supporting Windows 7 Pro 64 byte.

Two weeks ago the my Firefox was updated and with that update the header and toolbar changed to colors which was really nice. At that time my 2nd computer was out for servicing and when I received back (yesterday) I tried to change the Firefox colors to match the other computer. I see that the colorway option was only available till January 16th. Now only the white background is available. Is there anyway I can still the colors on this computer. The white is so boring compared with the color. Same as black and white picture compared to color.

Ok, so I installed Firefox today, and tried to watch Discovery+, it kept saying it was installing components to play the audio and video and never seemed to actually install them. I finally figured out it's the widevine plugin sitting there with a yellow bar saying it's going to install soon but never does.

I went through nearly an hour of troubleshooting, and nothing has worked. I tried toggling the DRM option on and off, restarting the browser and PC, reinstalling Firefox, restarting my modem, disabling and enabling the plugin itself, going to all the streaming sites I use, attempting to manually install the plugin, etc.

As far as I know, I'm not using an antivirus, I don't have my VPN on, any other extensions or plugins, pihole, or anything else I saw in other support queries. I'm just going crazy trying to fix this since it seems nothing works.

i cannot stop youtube videos autoplaying. I have made the settings. see the attached. what does the part with the arroow mean. I have change it to block but it goes back to allow. i have also removed the two entries withthe arrow they come back

I have also done the following in about:config from an old post

media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages false media.autoplay.block-event.enabled true media.autoplay.block-webaudio true media.autoplay.default 5 media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed false

In the last month Firefox using google search simply refuses to search, this is becoming annoying to the point where I will start using other browsers. Is there a fix for this?

My keyboard regularly locks up using Firefox. I tracked the problem down to having upwards of 40 Firefox processes running in Task Manager. Disabling them or restarting Firefox only works for a few hours before the problem recurs.

Several people here recommend disabling "Use recommended performance settings," which should give me the option of selecting the max number of processes to be running.

However, when I disable the recommended performance setting, the hardware acceleration option appears, but not the process number selection. I'm finding no way to set the max number of processes.

I'm hoping for a work-around to that, or a different solution.

Thanks.

BTW, I also notice excessive processes running when I use Chrome. I'm concerned why this is happening on both my browsers.

If I have the inspector open from Web Developer tools, I can see the HTML elements presented under that tab. Is there anyway in Firefox's configuration settings that we can change the font-family for the HTML view under this Inspector area? (not globally for all of Firefox). If so, where or how can we make the adjustment?

Firefox won't stay my default browser. Every time I sign on after rebooting MS changes the default to I don't know what. It doesn't say what is the default. It wants edge I guess but I deleted the entire edge app and all its dlls. So how do I make the choice through the "set defaults" settings permanent?
