I-Firefox Community Forum

I had a problem therefore I had to reinstall Firefox. When I reinstalled I had to login again and I did that with my usual Mail Address that I used for Firefox since years! But something was off... No Bookmarks, no backups nothing! I pressed sync to get the data because it didnt fetch it automatically but nothing happened either. I logged out and somehow after googling I found a way to login with google! (The option wasnt available anymore in the browser options WTF?! ) logged in and saw my profile picture etc I noticed this was my real account right there! Logged in and landed (at leat so it seemed in that new account that I described before which wasnt my real account, I synced nothing happened, all is fcked!) I lost my account so it seems with bookmarks that I gathered for years! ALL LOST.. Iam mad, frustraded, sad... and there doesnt seem to be any backup on my harddrive at least and my firefox account has been overwritten... Should I´ve been swapped earlier to google Chrome?! I really liked Firefox over these years... Iam so sad right now

For the past few weeks, I’ve been having serious issues with the default search/address bar.

Usually when I want to search for something on my default search engine (Google atm), I just type in what I’m searching for in the top search/address bar, press enter and it will give me the google search results. But for the past few weeks, I’ve been having issues with this.

What happens is, when I type in something, press enter, most of the time nothing happens (but sometimes it works as it used to). I then have to mouse-click on the typed in search parameters in the search/address bar and press enter again. At that point it might “hold” and show me the search results. But other times, it doesn’t and I have to repeat the process up to 10 times before it finally holds and shows me the search results.

Even more annoying is when I’m already on some site in Firefox, and I want to type in a new site/search result over the existing one. It used to work just fine. But now, most of the time the same thing happens as above, except that when it doesn’t work the first time, typed in search parameters are gone, as it just shows the last site address in the search/address bar, so I have to go up to the search/address bar, type in the search parameters again, and press enter again, hoping that it will hold that time. If it doesn’t, I just have to repeat over and over again. So it’s basically easier to click a new tab, type the search parameters in there, and spam mouse-click, enter until it holds.

This is getting so annoying that I’m seriously considering moving away from Firefox and going to Chrome, which I honestly hate cause I really don’t want to support Chrome and want to stick with Firefox, but this issue is driving me nuts.

I have also tried troubleshooting the usual thing with “Refresh Firefox” and “Clear Cache”, removed all my extensions, and nothing helped.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening, and why I’m not finding any reports of a similar issue anywhere? What could actually be the issue here?

For several days, on all sites I have visited with shopping carts, a low-opacity grey rectangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Nothing appearing on the screen covered by the rectangle will respond. And usually, the shopping cart button, and/or the search field are behind it.

I am forced to change to using Safari or Chrome if I am going to buy something (unless it's Amazon, that's the only shopping site I have used that seems to be free of this weird obstacle).

Firefox does not allow me to post comments on New York Post. The comment section says I must log in to post, but I am already logged in. I can log out and log back in again, but still not allowed to post as it says I need to log in. When I change browsers there is no difficulty posting after logging in. What setting on Firefox is preventing me from posting on NY Post?

Push notification banner from YouTube stays on desktop without closing after 5 seconds. Why? Windows 10 never had this issue. With Windows 11, it worked after a clean install and then it stopped. Why? I checked all settings within Windows.

Settings / Accessibility / Visual effects (ON) / Dismiss Notification after this time amount (5 Seconds) / Notifications checked (ON).

The notification banner hangs and never closes. Google search tells us how to enable and disable. IT HAS NOTHING FOR CLOSING BANNER AFTER 5 SECONDS.

When I start my browser, after a couple of minutes the search bar completely stops working until I restart it. When I type something and press enter it does'nt load anything and stays on the page it was on, and refreshing doesn't do anything either.

Hello. The latest update of FireFox 129.0.2 still has intermittent crashes. Sometimes I can't access my Google searches or links in emails don't work, then it works, then it starts to malfunction again. I have to restart my PC. Could you release a patch that works as well as before FireFox 129.0? On the other hand, Canal+ works perfectly Thanks. Kind regards.

In the last few days, a transparent rectangular panel is showing up in the upper right hand corner when I open certain websites--Washington Post, The Nation, and Talking Points Memo, and this morning Kanopy and the Zojirushi website. It often covers functions like login and search. I can *see* the buttons, but I can't click them through the transparent panel.

My RoboForm Mozilla add-on stopped working and I tried to uninstall then reinstall the app. When I try to reinstall the extension, the following pop-up occurs: RoboForm Start Page has detected RoboForm browser extension but cannot connect with it. Please update RoboForm browser extension. How do I update the RoboForm browser extension? Thanks for any help you can provide to resolve this issue.

No answers to how to do this, even googling. The best I get is to click on the 3-vertical-dots icon next to the intended address's url field. No such icon exists, nor it to be found in "Customize Tools"

When I enter a site like Sephora, Menards, Ulta, and Target I either automatically get an Access Denied error or get one when I try to navigate from the home page. These websites also either won't let me log in to an account or will immediately kick me out of my account after logging in. I've tried everything I could find online and nothing has helped. I am on the latest Firefox software.

Here is an example of the error message: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.sephora.com/shop/makeup-cosmetics" on this server.
