I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello,

Occasionally I select a bookmark in my menu bar that has become orphaned. Once on the page, I select the "Blue Star" and then try to remove the bookmark for that page to no avail. The bookmark remains even after shutting down and restarting Firefox (sync is off). Moreover, there are some bookmarks for which the "Remove Bookmark" option is not available after selecting the Blue Star.

I know that I can delete unwanted bookmarks using the Bookmark Manager but that method is time consuming when it comes to unknown, orphaned bookmarks that one stumbles upon from time to time. The aforementioned technique for removing these orphaned bookmarks is quicker assuming it worked.

Perhaps the Blue Star could remain filled in once a page is saved and subsequently returned too. Should one wish to remove the bookmark one need only return to the page and deselect the filled in Blue Star thus returning it to its outlined form while also removing the bookmark from ones menu.

Thoughts?

I want to be able to type accented characters while I'm using a mail tool in Firefox. I searched and found the Office/Word method, but that doesn't work in FF. When I searched this site for "type accent," nothing was found.

I don't need a special language pack, I'm still typing in English. I just want a way to insert an accented character now and then.

I have installed Firefox recently after migrating from Opera GX and I noticed I cannot control Twitter videos volume, only mute. I already tried to reinstall, tried with Troubleshoot Mode and I can't fix this. Is there a way to fix?

I have a gif showing the issue: https://i.gyazo.com/f73c4de39df3161e527f754ed694772a.mp4

Firefox was acting weird for a few days, so I refreshed it. Now my extensions in the toolbar have vanished, and I can't figure out how to pin them back. I read online instructions and saw a couple of videos, and they basically suggest that I click on "customize toolbar", then drag the addons onto the bar. Except that in my screen, my addons don't show up in the selections, so I can't drag them up. The addons are installed, and the weird thing is that I have ONE addon on the toolbar, but if I unpin it, it also doesn't show up in the possible selections (I had to press undo to keep it). Help?

Whenever I open Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop, a notification panel appears bottom right highlighting a news article from cordbusters.co.uk. I don't remember subscribing to this service and I can't turn it off. I can ignore it, and it times out after a few seconds. I checked addons and extensions but searching for 'cordbuster' in Settings gives no results. Running an internet search for cordbuster gives results for other sites quoting cordbuster but nothing suggesting a service provision. I am a long-term user of Firefox on phone and laptop.

Is it possible to change the displayed folder in the Bookmark Toolbar? So that not the folder "Bookmarks Toolbar" is used, but a self-selected?

Benefit:

For example, a Firefox sync account is used across multiple devices. But the most important pages differ from device to device (e.g. work/private). Accordingly, a different folder should be displayed in the Bookmarks Toolbar on different devices.

Hi, I have firefox on my Ubuntu 23.04. When i start it it shows a black screen. I click quit on my system and then i startup and it lunches normally. What am I doing wrong or how to fix it?

I have tried searching online and the suggestion is to "Undo" command on the "Organize" menu of the Library window as described in this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1198441 but I cannot find any Library window.

Please advise step-by-step how to retrieve accidental deleted folder in FF 112.0.2.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at recs.richrelevance.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

HI, I read the UK Mail Online Newspaper but this has just recently blocked readers who use an ad blocker. I have even tried disabling adblock plus but it still will not allow you to read articles.

Whenever you start typing a certain website name in the address bar, Firefox suggests and option to auto-fill the address based on what you've typed. My issue with that is that auto-fill keeps suggesting the address that I DON'T want it to. Specifically, I want "ya" to auto-fill to "ya.ru", instead it keeps suggesting "yandex.com.ge". Now, I have tried deleting all the history of ever going to "yandex.com.ge" as well as just ignoring the issue and typing out the full "ya.ru" by myself and giving Firefox some time to catch onto this, however after a couple of weeks nothing's changed. What's interesting is that when I type "ya" in the address bar, Firefox shows the following (in order): the wrong auto-fill suggestion ("yandex.com.ge"), some search suggestions (yahoo, yandex, yahoo mail, etc), then after the search suggestions there is a separator that says "Firefox suggests" and what do you think, the CORRECT auto-fill that I want is first right in there - "ya.ru". So Firefox actually knows that I want it, since it's the first thing in "Firefox suggests", but why can I not get it as a default auto-fill suggestion?

Since last upgrade Firefox seems unable to access any wordpress sites.

Always says to enable cookies. I've done that but still not possible access.

Is Firefox now becoming so "secure" it is useless?

There are more and more web sites where Firefox just is no longer a viable browser.

There is no clear "ENABLE" cookies option to resolve this just pages on explanations about safety yada yada yada.

I just want a button that says ENABLE COOKIES so I don't have to constantly seek answers to use this browser on a particular web site.

As much as I hate Chrome I am finding it more useful now than FireFox

I've cleared the WaPo cookies which didn't help. I can get into my account on Safari, but I hate that. I had an extended conversation with WaPo supervisor, and don't want to clear the rest of my cookies if I can help it.

This is a brand new problem. I cleared WaPo cookies twice which didn't help. I can sign in on main page but it throws me out of individual articles in a constant loop.

I'm hoping the next FireFox upgrade will fix this problem. I don't have it with any other news (NYTimes, Boston Globe) outlets.

when i click on a firefox tab it opens in a new window - how do I stop this?

Already tried going about:config and changing 'browser.tabs.allowTabDetach`, and set its value to `false` and it is not working. Advise.
