I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi folks I have to admit to being in a bit of a panic. Something flashed onto my Firefox browser screen and then I lost all my saved top line tabs, my home button and all the tabs that auto-load each time have also gone. I have never had this happen before and I cannot understand how to roll back. I have noticed a new folder on my W10 Desktop PC's Desktop called "Old Firefox Data" and I am hoping someone can tell me whether that might be helpful when you help me restore things. Any thoughts?

release 129.0.1 is not working right. This website: https://www.sofer.co.uk/alefbet is supposed to draw the Hebrew letters to show how to write them. It was working last night but is not working today. The page does not scroll down either. The website functions correctly in Chrome, so it is not a website issue. I'd prefer to use firefox for all my browsing rather than have to go to Chrome for this website. Thanks.

Hi everyone I'm trying to definitely restore my browser to start it from zero, since I'm leaving Edge to get back to firefox after some months. Problem is, everytime I try to restore setting, it automatically imports data (like history and bookmarks) and i must say it's NOT from another browser, but probably from my old profile. Saw a topic here saying i should disable some sync option, but this just doesn't work for me since I didn't even log into my profile. Firefox imports these data immediately when i click the restore button. Can someone help me on this?

In the Privacy & Security pane we have the following configuration

Clear history when Firefox closes with all items selected except for Site Settings. Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed with some exceptions in Manage Exceptions.

But after quitting and re-launching Firefox there frequently entries for random websites shown in the "Manage Data..." pane.

This seems to related to having Facebook Container and Firefox Multi-Account Containers extensions installed. It does not seem to happen when they are not present. Interestingly. we had been using a a very similar Firefox configuration on a legacy Intel macOS system without this issue. We began seeing it while setting-up a fresh installation of Firefox on a new Apple Silicon system with macOS Ventura. The issue was reproduced in a new profile. It continues to the present day with up the current version of Firefox 129.01 on macOS 14.6.1 I feel like this is probably a bug but I don't have the necessary skill to make an effective bug report.

When i do update my configuration settings changing by itself. Example, "browser.cache.disk.enable" is "false" but after every updates its always changing to "true". This happens only after updates.

Firefox Desktop failed last night 7/24/24 after 8:00 PM PDT the Windows 10 failure message is; XLU runner Error platform version 128.0.2 is not compatible with 128.0 Min or 128.0 Max:

I need Firefox to run, I can run Google Chrome but want to return to Firefox that failed last night.

Since updating to 192.0.1, login to site does not work. 64-bit Windows 10.

Site is www.nytimes.com. After submitting credentials, nothing appears to happen.

Hello, My Firefox would not open today.Gave XLU version error. I put a clean install as suggested by support. I think I got my bookmarks back. But my passwords are gone. This is a real drag!

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an extension or something that can change about:config values and provide an easy accessible menu to change specific settings that I need regularly.

For example, recently I am quite often setting network.http.redirection-limit to 0 because website keep redirecting me to login pages and that often helps preventing it. But having that set permanently is really annoying, so I have to visit about:config twice each time. Now if I could pin that setting in an easily accessible menu somewhere, that would be very neat.

When searching, I found that extensions could modify some browser settings but that seems to not include arbitrary about:config values.

Any tips and thoughts would be appreciated.

I am having continuous problems with opening some sites. The site opens and immediately shuts down the browser immediately. Its not every site but I have real problems with DHL.com and Creativepro network specifically. I have tried two other browsers, Brave and Opera. Opera is caught up in a loop with one of these sites now so I will have to reinstall it.

Can't tell if its the browser config or my computer.

BTW i'm using a Mac 14.6.1 and I access the internet via starlink (I'm in rural New Zealand).

This is getting very frustrating.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?

When trying to load Firefox an error message pops up saying Error: Platform Version "129.0.1" is not compatible with minVersion >= 129.0 maxVersion <= 129.0
