I created a custom search option for the No-AI version of DuckDuckGo but Firefox seems to be periodically resetting it back to regular DuckDuckGo. I haven't been able to catch when it happens (my best guess is that it's getting reset after Firefox updates are applied but I can't test that until the next update happens) but it has happened multiple times. It stays as the default through exiting and restarting Firefox, but at some point it always seems to sneak back to using regular DuckDuckGo and I can't figure out how or why.

It isn't deleting the "DuckDuckGo No-AI" option when this happens, but it is changing the default search back to regular DuckDuckGo.

See attachment, some sites are not loading correctly at all, which ironically includes the mozilla sign in page. I also noticed it on camelcamelcamel.com. See attachments.

I already tried clearing cookies etc. Unchecking the "allow sites to choose their own fonts" fixes it but obviously I don't really want that disabled. I switched off Chrome recently so I'm already quite disappointed tbh.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks show with the filled-in star icon. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and URLs I click on don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added.

The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I restarted Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my new tabs page) and that made no difference.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Privacy Policy from TD Bank (https://easyweb.td.com) appears at the bottom of every page change, no matter if "Accept All" has be selected. Moving from one account to another causes this pop up to appear. This does not happen with Chrome. With Chrome, one "accept all" has been chosen, the pop up no longer appears

If I turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection the problem seems to stop.

On Win 11, FF keeps opening a few pixels to the right of the screen when I want it to stay as far left as possible

I am using Win 11, Microsoft Powertoys > Fancy Zones to manage the screen space on my 5120 x 1440 monitor. I also have System > Display > Multiple Displayers "Remember window locations based on monitor connection" enabled.

Any program I have besides FF will load up exactly where I had it last. FF shifts I am guessing 8 pixels to the right (or left, as this occurs if I close FF on the right side of the monitor.) If you look at the screenshots, the "opened at default" picture shows what FF looks like when I open it. You can see the xulstore.json file shows the screenX position is -8. If I manually type in 0, close out FF and reopen it, it will still shift back to the right a bit even with the .json still saying 0

How do I do one less thing when I turn the pc on and have FF open exactly as far left as possible instead of shifting over to the right?

I noticed that some sites are showing up twice in the history when you go to history and look at the sites you've most recently been to. At first I assumed it was happening just with Youtube, but I have noticed it with other sites as well. This started happening a day or so ago. I recently updated to version 150.0.3, and I have no idea why it's happening. At first I thought it might be because I was signed into sync, but this hadn't happened on previous versions of Firefox and I've been signed into Sync for almost a year now and never saw this occur in that time. I even tried signing out of sync to see if that fixed the issue. it did not. I vaguely remember something like this happening on a much older version of the browser, but I dunno if you guys ever had a fix for it or not. I'm including a screenshot of the phenomenon for the sake of visual reference.

Halfway through today I'm unableto access three sites which I use regularly.using a VPN: 1337X.TO EZTVX.TO THEPIRATEBAY.ORG

Getting the error message:

An error occurred during a connection to thepiratebay.org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

I am able to access THEPIRATEBAY.ORG with Opera <ptooh> so the site itself obviously doesn't have a problem.

I've tried changng my VPN location from the UK to Amsterdam, NL and to Washington, USA but none of those locations have helped.

My wife needsher daily fix of American soaps and Police dramas which never get to us here in the UK

How can I get around this, I really don't want to go down the TOR route unless I absolutely have to.

Hello brothers and sisters, i am need help! I'm experiencing performance issues when surfing the 9GAG website. The amount of RAM consumed by this page is growing exponentially. It's gotten to the point where this tab can consume up to 5GB of memory, and that's not the limit. This issue hasn't happened before. I can't figure out what's causing it.

What I did to fix the problem: I reinstalled the browser. I reinstalled add-ons. I reset my old profile, saving only bookmarks and passwords. I reinstalled the operating system. None of this helped. However, my friends don't have this problem with this site. Please help.
