I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi -

I can't seem to restore my bookmarks. Latest version of Windows crashed my system and had someone helping remotely to restore and revive it which was done.

However, it appears that the "import bookmarks" feature doesn't allow me to import my firefox bookmarks. And I had thought that I had imported them, but now they are no longer available under import bookmarks. And there are no bookmarks available either.

I think something happened with things the remote person was doing but can't verify.

Is there any way to get back a few years worth of work bookmarks? Thank you,

Why am i getting the following msg. GAH. Your Tab Just Crashed.

This just started yesterday. Not sure why

Win 10

I'm unable to log into my social security account when using firefox. Have no trouble with safari.

I get the following when using firefox:

400 Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Hello, when many tabs are open, the mute button takes up almost the entire tab. When I go to a tab, I get to the mute button... https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-03-01-03-07-42-491a45.png Is it possible to remove this function on the tab, but leave the sound icon itself? So that when I click on the sound icon, the tab is switched to instead of mute?

I'm facing an issue where videos on various websites do not load properly when I'm using Mozilla VPN. The issue is happening on platforms like YouTube and streaming services. The videos either don’t start, or they buffer endlessly, even though the internet connection is stable. This issue only happens when the VPN is turned on, and the videos work fine when the VPN is off.

I’ve tried troubleshooting by disabling the VPN and clearing my browser cache, but the problem persists.

Could anyone provide a solution or explain why this is happening? Any help is appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

For whatever reason, a few days ago Firefox quit opening previous windows and tabs on startup.

And yes, ""Open previous windows and tabs" in Settings is checked.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

Two things:

1. When I open a link in Firefox, the back button will not work taking me back to the page before.

2. I want to be able to open another page with another page open.

Any advice or suggestions appreciated,

Using Firefox without Internet in closed environment.

Could you please disable Update Check with fake notification "Update Available - download now"?

Thank you!

This is an exact copy of a question with the same title by Steve Ediger, of August 2022, now archived.

Firefox has my credit card information and it shows up in a window when I go to pay for something, but when I click on the credit card I want to pay with, the details appear on the form but get removed almost instantly.

I am in UK. It was working until recently.

None of the earlier answers have helped.

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?

Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:

  1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon.
  2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.

       Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs. 

The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?

Every time the browser autofills a password it asks me for my Windows password. I don't want this behavior, as this makes password autofill completely pointless. How do I disable this "feature"?

Today, Stephen Weisman Esq., in his Scamicide daily post, wrote: While often the pop-up ads may be legitimate advertisements, in other cases they are created by scammers who lure you into clicking on links and being directed to websites that either convince you to provide personal information that can be used to make you a victim of identity theft or, in a worst case scenario, merely by either clicking on the link or being redirected to another website, you may unwittingly download malware such as ransomware or keystroke logging malware that can steal from your phone or computer sensitive personal information that can be used to access your bank account or make you a victim of identity theft in other ways.

He also wrote that pop-up ads can be blocked but I don't see that option on Firefox Mozilla. Please let me know how to do this.

Thank you.

I and others have talked about this with Mozilla. There is no way to turn off the "Sign in with Google" pop up prompt that occurs with almost every website. One has to close it manually. It really sucks! I love firefox, but have moved to Chrome to avoid this distasteful issue.
