I use Firefox on all my computers and phone, because its ability to save my browsing history and sync across devices has been unparalleled. This is invaluable because a certain website I frequent has a nasty habit of eliminating and locking its pages. (I’ve asked them about it and they plan to continue doing this.) Without the exact link and all the metadata from my browsing history, I cannot retrieve those pages.

This past weekend when I went to recover a page, I discovered that FireFox has only six months of my history, not the many years I expected. I checked my pre-update profile, and it had no history either. I have some computers that have been offline for a few months so maybe they have versions old enough to still have my history.

How do I get my history back and how do I avoid FF destroying my history without my consent in the future?

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?

My COPY context menu item is greyed out randomly. I guess it's not an issue of websites preventing copying. Happens while visiting various websites.

There's an advice to refresh Firefox, but I want to keep my passwords and avoid setting bookmarks again or resetting UI items displacement, any advice? Bugzilla threads contain some fixes, but as I have up-to-date version of Firefox, the bug is still randomly present.

I’ve been experiencing an issue with Firefox where the keywords I add to my bookmarks randomly disappear. I’ve made sure to save them correctly, but after some time, the keywords seem to vanish without any explanation. This happens intermittently, and it’s frustrating because it affects how I organize and access my bookmarks efficiently.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, is there a fix or workaround available? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated!

For tab settings I have checked these: Open links in tabs instead of new windows When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately

In the past links opened in new tab immediately. But now some links open in SAME tab immediately. For example: I open https://www.pbs.org/livestream/ and start watching the livestream. When I click the link On Air Schedule It opens immediately in the same tab, which ends my livestream

Dear Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest a small but useful enhancement to the Firefox interface that I believe would improve user experience and accessibility.

Currently, in the "Customize Sidebar" section, the available tools are limited to a few items such as AI Chat, Tabs from Other Devices, History, and Bookmarks. I believe it would be very helpful to include "Downloads" as an additional sidebar tool.

This would allow users to quickly access their recent downloads without needing to go through the menu or use shortcuts. It adds convenience and aligns well with the purpose of the sidebar — offering quick access to frequently used features.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Firefox. I look forward to seeing future updates! Warm regards, Julabeeb a firefox user, developer, and contributor

Help me return to correct settings in Firefox so I can enjoy playing "June's Journey" and "Pearl's Peril"(which isn't opening). As I explained in my question, there's a wide band across top of "JJ" game which appeared, as well.

 About one week ago, I was trying to re-set use of my debit card, was unable to as I'd probably severely cancelled it 6 months ago. I don't have a clue as to what the connection between these two activities have to do with each other but it's all I have to go on.

Thank you for any help! I've asked Wooga to give me some steps; I tried following them but Pearl Problems continue to plague me.
