When I clear History and cache, either using the menu or quitting the browser (which has the preference set to clear upon closing), then go back to the same Web site I was on, it uses an old version of the page not one that I revised and uploaded on the server. How do I force it to go look in the server anew, or stop using files that I thought I could clear.

I am using Firefox 115.150 esr or MAC 10.15.7.  Thank you.

Google says they have a Cherokee/English Mozilla Firefox Translator add-on. I grew up on the Cherokee Nation 60 years ago and sometimes I forget a word. Where can I find this add-on for Firefox? The one answer I got from a volunteer was to visit the "Firefox store. I could not find the store either.

Hello,

I submitted my initial request August 17, 2024. 

You responded you were working on the problem. Today, September 13, 2024, the problem remains. My history continues to pile up, and my cookies and cache will not clear.

This is the second time I am clearly stating my request. Please read below.

Thank You, A.B. Brown

Hello,

On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, and years prior to this date; in fact since I first got my laptop, I was able to clear my cookies and cache. I would go to my menu, select History and select Clear Recent History. The box to clear my cookies and cache would show, and I would click on Clear. When I would go back to the menu, and select History, it would show Empty.

On Thursday, July 18, 2024, and since, I have not been able to clear my cookies and cache. All the days of entries since July 18. 2024 are piling up.

I certainly do not know what changed. I would appreciate your listing step by step what I need to do to get my cookies and cache to work/clear.

Or, if you can just fix the problem, please. My laptop is Windows 10, and I use Firefox. Thank you.

Regards, A.B. Brown

YouTube keeps putting up the add block detection when I try to play a video. Apparently they can detect Add block Plus. Kubuntu 24.04 Firefox version 130.0 [64-bit] Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu Canonical-002-10. Add block Plus version sorry I can't find that information.

With my previous FF installation, it would remember both the width and the last selection in the sidebar after closing and re-opening FF.

I just formatted and reinstalled windows and now FF simply would not remember the last sidebar condition.

I'm using Windows 10 22H2 and FF 130 64-bit.

Another user suggested ‘https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/ is a good start but i am looking for English>Cherokee>English’ for ‘Firefox’, which it does not currently have. The he closed this question as solved. I need this question to remain open until resolved. I was born and raised on the Cherokee Nation near Tahlequah, the capital. I am a native speaker. I would like a means to communicate with my elders who speak English poorly (believe it or not). I want to stop writing letters. Right now, I am using a virtual keyboard but it is cumbersome.

Ed - Thanks for that thread. Since I posted my question originally (and can't find where just now) I did try one add-on called STOP AUTO RELOAD by kgersen and I'm trying that. I couldn't understand how to add the particular address I wanted to use it on, but it's helping on FB without having entered FB's addy. Most of the time it stops the refresh. If I leave it too long tho, when I come back it does refresh, but at least it isn't refreshing while I'm trying to read it. The annoying blue label "refresh" still comes on my page, but I ignore it.

For some reason I cannot log in on the stub hub site in firefox. other browsers work but not on stubhub.com Please help fix this issue

I went to check one of my gmail messages and when I opened youtube in another tab It had me signed into youtube with the email I was checking!! what the F**K is this? I didn't want it to sign in with that, it's not only frustrating but I could see for people on public computers having major privacy issues with this. How can I NOT have it sign into youtube automatically when I used gmail? Those are two different things for me with different purposes. It's super frustrating and a breech of privacy, very upsetting.

Hi ! I'm a long term user of the "Firefox" browser. My Firefox User Nº is : 14634487 I'm also an existing long term user of both "NordVPN" and "NordPass".

When logging in to "Nordpass" this morning on my (new) MacBook Pro, I received a message in the App window stating that they were "ending support for my extension on 30th of September" and inviting me to "get the latest extension to continue using NordPass in a browser"

So, I bought a 2 year subscription for the extension 'NordPass Premium for Firefox'. Nordpass has acknowledged this by email: Quote : "Thank you for your purchase Here are the details of your order. Item  : NordPass: 2-year subscription Price : £29.43/2 years VAT 20% - £5.89 Total: £35.32/2 years"

In a 'Welcome' email sent by NordPass, I clicked on "Download NordPass which opened a Firefox 'Add-Ons' web-page for downloading the app named "NordPass Password Manager and Digital Vault" - but the only functioning button was 'REMOVE' ! I tried to 'Log In' at the top right corner of the page but I then became stuck in a continuous loop of picture identifications to prove I was not a robot ! It just went on and on ! I abandoned it for a while and, when I returned, the 'Robot check was gone but all my attempts to get the extension have failed ! I can't for the life of me find ANY means of downloading and installing the extension I've PAID FOR !

Whether this is all owing to a fault on the "NordPass" side or in the "Firefox" browser side is a mystery to me. Either way, I'm sending this message to BOTH.

I've now given up trying to do it unaided. PLEASE, could someone advise me how I can get my extension !! If this isn't resolved quickly, I'll seek to have a refund of my £35.32 and will have seriously to consider leaving both "NordVPN" and "NordPass" and/or defecting from "Firefox" to the "Safari" browser.

I'm waiting eagerly to get this sorted. Regards, Ivor Mitackis

A few months ago, I filled a feedback survey on Firefox, and at the end of the survey it contained an option to check if I was interested in pariticipating in a follow-up study with a researcher from Firefox, and it was promised a financial compesation for my time.

I received an follow-up email today (from fx-researchteam@mozilla.com), talking about the recent survey I took and that I specified that I would like to do a follow-up interview, specifying available dates, interview duration (~60 minutes), and so on. It contained with a survey link from qsurvey.mozilla.com. The survey asked basic personal informations like email, name, gender, nothing too suspicious. Also, they specified they could paypal me $150 as a thanks for my time and feedback.

I saw someone received the same type of email and people claimed it as legit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1442740), but the email that sent the survey was a different email (from firefoxresearch@mozilla.com).

All I'm asking is if Mozilla does conduct such interviews, and also pay people for their time... if this is not a scam or something...

So i use garuda linux(not sure if necessary but still telling). The ".mozilla" folder is about 134 GB! I have browsed it a bit and found a lot of this folders "vuzpdtyn.default-release-backup-crashrecovery", "tor50voj.default-backup-crashrecovery-", "profile-somestuff-backup-crashrecovery" Is it safe to delete the old ones from this?

This morning I saw that images were not downloading within my GMAIL messages. Believing that something was wrong with my connection, I decided to give both my computers a restart. This concerns my Windows 10 64-Bit, on which I had both Edge and Firefox opened, both with multi-tabs. In Firefox I had my Google account open with other tabs. After shutting down both computers I left my apartment. The Windows 10 restarted on its own; but both browsers lost their tabs even though I set each to reopen the previous session. With Edge and function keys I was able to restore my previous session; but not with Firefox. about:sessionrestore was not available. The Profile folder did not show a backup for these lost tabs. I hate hunting for them in History because I am working on multiple projects and don't have time for this wasteful activity, which is why I set Startup to Open Previous Windows And Tabs. What option did I miss?

Now, we have more wasted time. I reopened as many tabs as I remembered opened during the session I could not restore. Now, the only tabs that reopened since are the ones I opened that have posts about restoring sessions. The tabs I reopened are lost even though I checked off Open Previous Windows And Tabs. This browser is performing worse as of today for some reason I am not aware. What changed? From what I see here, there was no MS Windows update that might have occurred when I shut down and lost the tabs. Could I have disrupted the tabs by using the right hand, top corner "X" to shut out of Firefox?

This is getting more and more whacked up! It seems that every time I reopen a tab within the Library, it opens it in the same tab, overlaying the previous tab I opened.

I accidentally deleted a login username and password in my password list. Is there a way to recover that password?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I use Lastpass to manage my passwords. I have always accessed the Lastpass facility via the Lastpass Extension. However it's just stopped functioning (in the last week). I click on the extension (top right of my browser screen). It invites me to click on 'Vault'. But when I do, It takes me to an empty Lastpass page. (See screenshot, attached.) When I use this same approach using Google Chrome - no problem. So the problem seems to be with the Firefox platform.
