There is a setting to disable updates and let me decide when to update.

That is great, but how do I disable update notifications from appearing in general?

Every time I open the browser, I get a pop up notification twice letting me know there is a new update.

It is extremely annoying that the shortcut tabs forces me to have shortcuts based on my search history

For example, the fact that I visited a website about how to make pasta does not mean that I want that on my home tab every day, I am not wanting to make pasta every single day and if I were to want to make pasta every single day I would most likely not need the recipe

But everyday I do want to access YouTube, so I do want my shortcuts enable. I won’t add it to my bookmarks since they are for more important purposes (also uncomfortable to reach in comparison to shortcuts which are right in the middle of the screen)

That is to say, it is extremely annoying that with the shortcuts enabled I am forced to either filled up all the possible shortcuts or getting shoved some unecessary shortcut recommendations down my throat

There clearly should be an option to do have shortcuts in the home tab but without recommendations based on your search history

I have set Bing as my home page when I start Firefox (it has been this way for years). This morning when I started Firefox the Bing home page only partially loaded. The home screen picture of the day won't load and I can't search with it. The only thing that works is the other bookmark tab. I also have Bing in those tabs but the same thing happens when I try to start it from there. I have shut down and restarted my computer, still happens. I have downloaded the latest update of Firefox, still happens. I don't think doing anything with Bing will help, since when I try to start it from the saved bookmarks tab or type it into the address bar it still won't load. I also started Microsoft Edge and it loads fine from there. Although, I just started Chrome and the same thing happens there, it only half loads, so not sure what is going on. I am not tech savy, so am a little uncomfortable with deleting Firefox and re installing it myself. Not sure if I would loose all my saved bookmarks. Can you help.

I only have one profile, the default one , I clicked something ; Firefox closed and when I opened it again I had to create a profile again , and everything I had, bookmarks history, was lost . How can I recover it , or go back to the first default profile, why is it even possible to exit firefox in any way and not be able to go back where you were.

I find that when I reopen Firefox, many of the tabs in a group are duplicated, appearing both inside and out of the tab group. Is there a fix for this or something I can do? I'm on Firefox 147, on Windows 11. Thanks.

I'm on week 3 of attempting to import my firefox data I'm stuck on the already synced to profile create another. I am unaware that I have any profile at all and I don't want any profiles. Is there any means at all of retrieving my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop without having to deal with this crap?

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps of uninstalling, reinstalling and backing up my profile but on every machine after one session or one time instance and if I have to close Firefox or restart my workstation, I can no longer launch Firefox. It leads me to believe there is some kind of profile issue or corruption with my account but for months I've been battling this issue and can not resolve it. I do remember getting some Firefox window showing the Profile option or Create Profile and I believe nothing was selected. I proceeded to select the Profile on the left and it seems after that is when all the problems started to occur. If anyone has experienced this or can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.

So, I configured the suggestions in the search bar so that nothing from my history/previous searches is displayed (see attached image with current settings). However, suggestions from my past searches still continue to appear. I would like only the autocomplete suggestions from my search engine to appear (I'm using Kagi). I already tried to delete my browsing history (Crtl + Shift + Delete - Everything, browsing and download history), it deleted everything but my past searches... Can somebody help me?

Thanks! attachments: (search suggestions settings, search suggestions appearing now)

In about:logins, passwords on the left side have a hover effect, but the click only works if you click the inner part, clicking the outer part doesn't select the password. This gave me dementia from so many failed clicks.

See screenshot, clicking inside the red = fine, outside = no work

I'm trying to fill out a magazine subscription form that uses reCAPTCHA but the reCAPTCHA does not show in the form using Firefox but does in Chrome. I've seen similar issues and tried to solve it by clearing the catch and disabling extensions but nothing helps.

I am unable to open my profile on Firefox. I am using desktop and windows 11. I am typing this question on DuckDuckGo browser because I was unable to go in. It will not let me search, open new tabs, refuse to open new tabs and even to click on settings. I also tried to delete it in an attempt to log in again but it won't even let me delete it. The image I shared is all I see. No bookmarks, shortcuts, ways to do settings and other things. Thank you!

some items are large, some items are TINY. I have tried resetting my display setting scale, but the url bar, the menu where are my open tabs, the bookmarks toolbar, and some other things re TINY.

Hello,

The fonts are not rendering properly on few websites, example(apnetv.xyz), everything was working fine with stable release of v146.

The beta versions were having the same issue, i assumed it was related to Beta releases, so I switched back to stable one. However now firefox has released stable v147, the issue persists. Kindly fix it.

I've tried saving in an active private window, but no success. Testing in Firefox private window local programing errors. Clean-slate avoid past incorrect memory errors.

Every time I access my bank's website using Firefox I get a pop-up telling me to "manage online experience". After I "manage" it, it appears on every page I go to on the bank's site (ie. savings account or chequing account etc.) I have white listed several of the pages in Privacy and Security but this has no effect. Obviously I am missing something. Can anyone give me guidance? Thx.
