I-Firefox Community Forum

I don't know which question best describes my question. I have always used Firefox because it had two boxes for searching. This meant that you could type a search into the second box while keeping the first box open. Now that second url box is gone. How can I get it back? I used it all the time!

When I close a video site tab, Firefox freezes and becomes unresponsive. After restarting Firefox from a force quit, I sometimes see a message like: “Bookmarks may not be visible or things may not look normal. Another instance of Firefox is running.” (I don’t remember the exact wording.) In that case, my bookmarks look like they are missing. If I close Firefox again and restart it, the bookmarks reappear, but I am logged out of every site and have to add all my accounts again from the beginning.

This means I have to log back into every single account again, like YouTube and others, which is very inconvenient.

I’ve been using Firefox for over 10 years, and I’ve never experienced this problem before. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it occurs periodically — sometimes every few days, sometimes every few weeks. This never used to happen in the past.

Please, I really need help with this issue. If I back up my cookies beforehand, would restoring them after such a crash bring everything back to normal?

Nur beim ersten Mal wenn Firefox nach dem Start geöffnet worden ist und wenn man in die Suchleiste mit der linken Maustaste klickt tippt firefox automatisch unendlich viele "Bindestriche". Dieser Vorgang kann nur durch Drücken der esc-Taste gestoppt werden. Danach ist ein Klick in die Suchleiste mit der linken Maustaste und eine ganz normale Eingabe möglich. Wie kann der Fehler behoben werden?

Good morning,

I enjoy your brief weather update on your Desktop Home Page, but a suggestion would be to allow the user to add two or more locations for other family locations, vacation home locations or just other locations we love around the word.

Thanks for your consideration.

bold textWHY did you delete my bookmarks and history including the files when you installed the latest backup??? I did not even realize you had another update until I logged in this morning and my desktop firefox screen was completely changed and all my history and bookmarks are BLANK! I've wasted my entire morning trying to fix this! Your support materials are not working either as there are no bookmarks or history left! Ugh!

Tried the PiP mode with YouTube and it didn't work for me. The video pop-up still appears even after un-checking the box in settings; once I click the X button on the pop-up, the video pauses, and will unpause only if I return to the original tab and press play. I've tried the following:

- Restarting my computer - Used keyboard shortcuts to close the pop-up - Blocked autoplay media on the YouTube website

Thanks in advance.

I've had increasing issues with Firefox performance over the past month or so. I kept hoping an update might fix things but it's getting to the point I need to use Chrome much of the time now. I read the help article for websites not opening with Firefox but opening with another browser and had already done most of the things: clearing data and cache. I don't know what proxy is but I looked at my Chrome settings and changed Firefox to match (automatically detect settings). Nothing has helped. Sometimes a site won't open and sometimes I get into a website and then a random page within the website won't open. I have only a few pages open at a time. It might have started at some point after adding Facebook container to the extensions. Other extensions are: Duck Duck Go, Malwarebytes, Google Analytics opt-out, Read Aloud and U-Block Origin. Any help appreciated. LC

Good evening,

When the translator starts translating from English to French, it displays Indonesian, but I haven't installed anything in Indonesian, and I don't read Indonesian, so where is it coming from?

I'm hacked ?

I cannot access my credit union's marketing page: "marketing.riograndecu.org" This has been a problem for the past week. I am connected to my home wifi. I repeatedly get this message:

The connection has timed out

The server at marketing.riograndecu.org is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Help, please.

Mozilla sidebar has been replaced by "Choose an AI chatbot to use in the Firefox sidebar." How do I undo this and return to Mozilla standard Firefox sidebar. Not at all what I want to do. Help

suddenly today the mic has stopped working in Chat GPT. I have changed nothing... checked all settings, everything is ok... why does it suddenly say "Enable Mic Access to Dictate"?

After uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox, when I open new tab I can't immediately start typing. I first have to click on the address bar. Please tell me how to fix this.

Tell me how to stop advertisers from interferring with my rows of bookmarks since many times they take my upper left bookmark location which is the one I use most often. But weird bookmarks are showing up all the time and I continually have to remove them.

Good evening,

I recently purchased Firefox Replay and would like to add all of my email accounts. I’m not sure if this is possible, but if so, could you please provide me with a resource or guidance on how to set this up?

Thank you,
