It's hard to describe what I mean without an example. I type "tart" into the search bar, and instead of the recently visited Wikipedia page on tarts, the autofill suggestions are full of pages in my history with "start" or "starter" in the title, or even in the URL but not the title. Is there any way to change it so the suggestions only contain the exact words I've typed?

when I sign in with firefox site comes up with big OOPS on screen says refresh. Refresh but won't go away.

Called Cabelas said the website was working properly. Could firefox be blocking the website

Hi,

Looking at my Firefox 147.0.1 settings for macOS 26.2 (Apple M1), I'm trying to adjust two settings:

-- I'd like to remove Languages -> English (GB) (its existence has odd side effects, like triggering United Airlines to offer fares in Pounds Sterling, and I'd prefer to just have English (US))

-- I'd like to disable Play Audio and Video for about:welcome (in regular and private windows)

I can see no way to accomplish this currently -- why?

Thanks.

My Firefox browser just updated to version 143.0.1. When the browser reopened, there was an instructional page that opened in a new tab describing the Unload Tab function. I followed the instructions, right-clicked on the tab, the drop down menu appeared, but there wasn't an Unload Tab option. However, there was a Reload Tab option shown.

How do I resolve this? I'm using a macOS 15.6.1.

I used my recovery key to get into my Mozilla account. A followup email arrived telling me that a new recovery key had been created. But the new key wasn't included in the email. How can I get another recovery key? It's a useful tool. Thanks Wayne Nelson

I've seen the other support requests on this from the past. Setting " print.tab_modal.enabled = false " doesn't seem to work now (Firefox for Mac 141.0.3).

Is there any (2025) way to default to "print with system dialog" rather than having to choose the link off of FF's dialog every time? It makes printing to PDF (which is 95% of my "printing" from FF) needlessly tedious.

Hello Firefox team,

I did update my Mac to IOS 26.0.1 and I have lost all the history and bookmarks, I have the "Sync" enabled with my browser.

All my important data has been lost, can you please look into this and help me please.

Thanks, Sajeel Irkal

I did use yahoo email for long time but now I want to switch to g mail address for my own protection and will keep my home address and will use my personal information as is not further changes.

Dear Firefox:

My Firefox New Tab Page will not load properly in normal mode but it will load in troubleshoot mode. The new tab is the normal typical Firefox start page. It has multiple sections with links to many sites. These "links" just flicker. They do not fully load.

When I turn on troubleshoot mode, everything loads fine.

Thanks

Dean

What are the step-to-step instructions in order to use Free VPN? (see attached image) I did a query on the web and it came back stating that Firefox VPN was not free. I am confused. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

Hi,

I recently noticed an unknown Outlook/Microsoft account (oliveconscious13@outlook.com) saved in my Firefox logins. The email and password appear to be randomly generated, and the account’s preferred language is set to Russian. I have never seen or used this account before.

Here are the key details:

My Firefox account was created on June 8, 2025.

The unknown Microsoft account was created on July 8, 2025.

I only have two devices connected to my Firefox account: my Mac (where the account first appeared) and my Windows PC.

The account is also showing up in Chrome’s saved passwords, which I never intentionally synced with Firefox.

This is a brand-new Mac purchased directly from Apple, so I know it wasn’t a used device.

I’m trying to figure out:

How this account was added to my saved logins.

Whether this was synced from another device.

If there’s any security concern or if my account may be compromised.

Could you check my sync history or logs to see which device added this login, and advise on how to make sure my saved logins are secure?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to view streaming live broadcasts in my country's public TV but the site detected some HDCP issue and asked me to use a HDCP-certified HDMI cable. Here is some quick info and what I had tried:

+ Besides privacy reasons, I am unable to share the website address, as viewing is limited to my country's IP addresses by the national broadcaster. + I have a dual-monitor set up to a Windows and a MacOS machine, both installed with Firefox 129.0.2 with add-ons being synced. + Viewing live videos on the same website in Windows Firefox (HDCP-certified cable) has no issue but not on MacOS Firefox (same HDCP-certified cable but different HDMI port on the monitor). + Switching around the different HDMI ports and cables yield the same outcome. + No issue on either Windows or MacOS when viewing recorded videos though. Only live streaming on MacOS is affected. + Tried disabling all add-ons and toggling DRM but to no avail. + Checked Widevine is latest version (4.10.2710.0).

Appreciate any advice or help please. Thanks in advance.

I have a Plesk (apache) server that is behind HAProxy. When I connect securely to a web site through HAProxy using Firefox, I get long delays. If I use Safari or Chrome, the pages come right up without any delay.

If I connect to the Plesk server directly without HAProxy in the middle, there are no delays.

I do not know what would cause these delays that don't occur with other browsers.

I'm on a Mac: 115.0.2 (64-bit)

Hi. While clearing my browser history the other night some of my bookmarks also got deleted. I understand once browser history is deleted it cannot be recovered, but is there any way a deleted bookmark can be recovered?

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support,

I am seeking clarification and assistance regarding saved login details that appear in my Firefox browser, both on my laptop.

The situation is as follows:

At some point in the past, I mus thave attempted to access the Plenty of Fish (POF) dating site via the app on my iPhone. Alhtough not presently active, my iCloud account shows a history of the app being downloaded, and stored in the cloud.

I do not recall ever completing an account setup or using the service, but when I check Firefox on my laptop, I can see a username and password saved under Privacy & Security settings for POF.

I am trying to understand whether these saved credentials could have been synced between my iPhone and my laptop at the time of the attempted registration, meaning that they were stored automatically even if I did not intentionally log in on my laptop.

My specific questions are:

Do the Firefox saved logins on my laptop and my iPhone interlink automatically if Firefox Sync is enabled? (i.e., would login data entered on my phone app/browser be stored in the Firefox passwords list on my laptop?)

Is it possible to determine whether the saved username/password for POF was stored via the iPhone app/browser rather than being typed directly on the laptop?

I belive that if login attempts fail due to a non-existent or corrupted username/password, Firefox still store the login attempt details (username and password) even if the login itself did not succeed, can you confirm this? Is there a way of telling which it was failed/sucessful

This is a sensitive and personal matter, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and any clarification on how Firefox may have stored or synced these details.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards, A

I used to be able to save bookmarks by selecting in a dropdown menu where I would like to to save the bookmark. I no longer see a dropdown menu when I go to save a page. It automatically saves the last folder used for bookmarks. It is a little confusing because I have to go search for the bookmark and move it into another folder. I don't know if this is due to an update or if I somehow changed the settings but really want to be able to select which folder I am saving my bookmarks to. Can I change this in the settings?
