Firefox crashed. I am trying to get it to how I had it before this. One of the problems is the new tabs thing. I know about CTRL-T, I have not used it. I have used the + on the tabs for years. I know, big deal, it's just inconvenient, interrupts my train of thought to switch, which is no big deal. But if anyone has a moment and can answer, it would be a blessing for me. Thank you.

All of a sudden when i sign in to Amazon I get this box: Windows Security: Please sign in to amazon .com: This request comes from Firefox.........: Never asked for it how do I turn it OFF?? I have no2FA in either Amazon or Firefox but all of a sudden i need to enter a Security Code.

I can no longer sign in to sites that seem to use microsoft azure for authentication. Including: www.comed.com people's gas through https://login.wecenergygroup.com www.athletico.com which goes to https://myathleticob2cprd.b2clogin.com

All of them return a page that just says "Bad Request" after I enter my credentials and proceed.

I normally use AdBlockPlus and NoScript but I have both of those disabled.

I can login through chromium browsers.

Are others able to use those sites? Any suggestions?

Google told me to go to About.Config, find "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" then change the value to false. But, at least in my version of FF, that doesn't work because browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon isn't listed. I'm running 142.0.01.

I know FF is trying to please all the wonderful teenagers who want to constantly screw around with software settings. But it would be really nice if such new "features" were not turned on automatically.

Depuis la dernière mise à jour, Firefox me demande le mot de passe principal à chaque ouverture de Firefox. Je ferme ou j'annule et ça marche sans avoir à renseigner mon mot de passe principal. (c'est agaçant !!) La procédure préconisée par Firefox (menu-paramètres-vie privée et sécurité-identifiants et mots de passe-décocher la case à côté d'utiliser un mot de passe principal....... ) ne change rien. Merci

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using Firefox for 5 years now and I absolutely love it. I recently bought a new laptop, but I’ve run into an issue. On my old laptop, I was able to use multiple Firefox profiles at the same time—similar to how Chrome handles profiles.

On the old setup, when I clicked the three-line (menu) button, I could see my second profile there and switch between profiles with just one click. After installing Firefox on my new laptop, I can’t find that option anymore.

I know some of you might suggest using about:profiles to switch profiles. Yes, I’m aware of that method, but I find it inconvenient because I’d have to type about:profiles every time, which is a bit of a time waste for me. I really want the same quick-switch option I had before.

How can I get that functionality back? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’m already using the latest version (142.0.1, 64-bit).

Thanks

From Windows 11 start Firefox v 142.0.1 opens with an entirely blank page - toolbars, graphics, webpage - everything taking over a minute to load up with toolbars and then a further 2 minutes to load www.theguardian.com/uk. Firefox then frequently crashes and on re-start the bookmarks toolbar is empty - yes it is visible. I have been renaming places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old every few days since 27 Aug. The Manage Bookmarks - Library shows all bookmarks when Firefox is behaving but is completely empty when the bookmark toolbar is also empty. Restarting Firefox does not reinstall the bookmarks. The only solution is to restart Windows 11. Any ideas on speeding up and preventing this bookmark problem. Thanks

I sometimes spend an extraordinary amount of time writing a forum entry or online email -- sometimes 5+ hours -- just to get it to say exactly what I want it to say. And all too frequently, I accidentally press C-W (the delete-word key on my editor), and my work is instantly gone. I spent several days attempting to solve this problem. Apparently I'm not the only one who has lost data this way. Entries on Reddit pointed me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1378404#answer-1510431. I followed the instructions carefully, and double-checked my work, but C-W still kills my current tab. The issue had been archived, but not solved.

I am a programmer (but certainly not in JavaScript), so I try to take technically complex solutions in stride. But after letting things percolate thru my mind for a few days, I realized that I'm not being fair. FireFox is marketed for public consumption. And it's not fair to my sisters, my mother, or other folks who have never programmed anything in their life, to pretend like a solution that might have worked for me (but didn't), would be even a little bit comprehensible to them. I was particularly struck, by something that the moderator said -- not by his words, per se, but by the perspective that his words revealed:

--- Only closing a window (Ctrl+Shift+W) could possibly make Firefox display a warning, closing a tab is always done without a --- warning as you can reopen a closed tab via Ctrl+Shift+T.

Who would know that? I would venture to guess that 99% of FireFox's users don't even know that you can control FireFox from your keyboard -- let alone actually want to do it. People control their browsers with their mouse. They use their keyboards only to type in forum entries and such, or to scroll up/down thru a webpage. I can see where devs might prefer to control/test FireFox from their keyboards, but I'm surprised that they would leave tens of undocumented shortcuts lying about like landmines that everyday users could stumble onto.

So I'm requesting that FireFox disable Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Shift+W (which are the most dangerous shortcuts), by default. Ideally, it would provide an about:config entry so that devs could re-enable those shortcuts if they wish to. By the way, the referenced support entry lists only 1 person with this problem, and only 6 replies. But it lists 2124 views.

Thank you

Hello, editing Bookmarks is a manual process within Firefox Bookmarks. I would like to export sub folders and edit them on my preferred desktop text editors, then re-import said edited Firefox Bookmarks folder.

I have tried Firefox sub folder:

• dragging and dropping to Desktop, however fails
• copying/pasting to Desktop, however fails
• AI promises the world like a conservative politician's gish gallop, but nothing works and wrecks the current setup.

I have exported the entire Bookmaks.html file, however editing html to text, then somehow only text remained without urls. So now I have restored from an old 3rd party's bookmarks and need to clean what Bookmarks are left. Sub folder management would be easier than entire Bookkmarks.html.

I did a new Windows 10 install yesterday. I then added my favourite apps.

When I got Firefox installed, adjusted the settings and added my extensions (most of which I've used for years), I found a glitch.

The icons for AdBlocker Ultimate and LastPass do not show up in the Customize Toolbar menu. I keep both of these on my toolbar in the past.

I've tried restarting Firefox several times and, finally, tried running it in Troubleshoot Mode. The last, it seems, doesn't allow the use of extension.

So ... please help!

If I have taken photos in past years on a particular date, I get an email from Microsoft to review them. I normally do it on my phone, but today tried it from my computer. The path is "One Drive" "Photos" "Moments" and then "On This Day." If you click on the photos that in the graphic that looks like a movie strip, a montage of the photos shows up and you can also click on one. However, in Firefox, I click on a picture and the screen goes gray, but nothing ever loads. I thought it was a Microsoft issue so used their help function. The rep and I tried it, then cleared the cache, then tried it in a private setting. We got the same result every time. Then he tried it whatever Microsoft's browser is called and it worked just fine. They said it was a problem on the Mozilla Firefox end, so I'm reporting it. Please let me know if you can help me make it work. I don't like using anything except Firefox.

I keep getting what appears to be notification (of news items?) popping up in the lower right hand corner of my screen. Is this a function of Firefox and if so can I disable it?

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to report a problem I'm facing while trying to install the "sconnect" extension on my Firefox browser. This extension is required for accessing national digital certification services in Oman.

I am attempting to add the extension from the official portal: idp.pki.ita.gov.om. When I try to initiate the installation from this page, it fails to add to the browser. I have already ensured that my browser is up to date.

This extension is essential for me to access important government and educational services, including those from the Ministry of Education (moe.gov.om).

Could you please provide assistance or guide me on how to resolve this issue and successfully install the "sconnect" extension?

Thank you for your time and support.
