I-Firefox Community Forum

I livae in the UK and have both my Firefox browser - Windows 10 and Windows 11 - to version 151. So far, I cannot see the VPN icon on the tool bar on the top right-hand corner. Do I still need to wait longer.....? Thank you.

I’ve been using Firefox for months without manually creating a profile (I assume one is created by default). I had a lot of bookmarks, and today I accidentally created a profile manually, but then deleted it after noticing it didn’t have my bookmarks. Now, even after deleting it, I still don’t have my bookmarks, and Firefox keeps creating profiles for me. I checked backup files, but I can’t find anything, or maybe I don’t even know which folder I’m supposed to look in. My browsing history is gone, and I think I also lost my saved passwords or usernames for websites I used.

I’ve already tried using firefox.exe -P and checking %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\, but my bookmarks aren’t in either of those folders (.default or .default-release). Honestly, I really don’t want to believe I could have lost everything that easily.

I even used Recuva to try recovering files like places.sqlite and checked the bookmarks folders in the only two directories where those files existed, but it was pointless. Honestly, I still don’t even understand how everything got deleted just from manually creating a profile. I really didn’t expect something like this to happen.

In Windows 11, how do I add the Firefox icon to the extreme top left of its webpages?

When I switch tabs to Firefox, typically using Alt+Tab, I am often unsure at first which program I am in. I have searched Firefox settings, and googled extensively, and there seems to be no way to add the icon back. I believe that it was once there, but I am unsure of this.

Almost every other program places its icon on the top left of its pages. Surely it is possible to do the same in Firefox, which just has an empty space there.

(But I am wrong on the last point, because Edge, which I rarely use, also has no icon there. Surely Firefox does not want to share any problem that Edge has!)

After the last Firefox Update, I can no longer log into my healthcare website. It loads login screen, enter information and it fails to redirect, returning to login screen. mymercy.net works fine with Edge and Chrome. But I have Firefox set as my default to switching is a pain! I have cleared everything.. reloaded firefox and it still does the same. Tried it with 3 different computers with the same result, so there is something about the new update that mymercy.net doesn't like. any suggestions?

Hello there.

Since last update i'm unable to browse websites like youtube, social media and all other websites with video content. Video often fails to load,the wholewebsite is not loading, freezes while played or while exiting full screen mode. All of these freezes the browser - the site cannot be refreshed, links does not work. The only way is to close the tab with the freezed page or kill the Firefox process in windows Task Manager. Refreshing, re-installing, deleting or using different profile don't work. Same with add-ons. Seems like the issue lies within the browser and it started to appear since last update.

Hello All, I'm just into Firefox. Struggling with two untidy bars across top of screen. Need advice to reduce this to one. I have my Win11 taskbar to the left on my PC. Can't we do something to put current open site in there?

I downloaded a syllabus from my online class but I can not open the file a drop box appears and asking what should firefox do with the file. I attached a screenshot of what happened when I attempted to open file. Can you please help me with this issue?
