First of all, why are there two Other Bookmarks folders? When I add a new bookmark, my routine is to open Manage Bookmarks, drag the new bookmark to the second (lower) Other bookmarks folder, then choose Sort > Sort by Name. I have also tried A > Z Sort Order. The sorts work within the Manage Bookmarks window, but they are not saved automatically, and I do not see a way to save them manually. Also, if I go to the Other Bookmarks folder on the far right side of the Bookmarks Toolbar, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to see my new bookmarks. They are not in ascending alphabetical order the way I want them.

For that matter, Why can't I open a new tab with my home page already open? I want Duckduckgo. You are bullying me into a blank page or a Firefox page. I used to have a choice.

Hello

I use Firefox 132.0.1 under Fedora 14 Linux. Whenever I click an urls in another application (e.g. Libreoffice, Keepass...) a new tab is opened in Firefox (according to Firefox's settings), but Firefox itself does not pop up in the foreground, it remains in the background. I highly appreciate the setting 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. But FF only comes to foreground in case I deactivate 'open links in tabs instead of new windows'. How can I prevent FF to stay in the background in case 'open links in tabs instead of new windows' is enabled?

Thank you in advance

I'm looking for particular wallpaper from the abstraction category (screenshot). Can anyone tell me how to find it?

After a routine system restart due to display driver crash my Mozilla Firefox ceased to work, displaying a broken link. After some messing around I decided to reinstall the application, but when I did it was an entirely new instance with none of my local saved data (bookmarks, passwords, history etc). I've been able to restore my bookmarks, but not my passwords. I've found the relevant key4.db and logins.json files pertaining to the older intall, but I have no idea how (if possible) to install them, and I assume there would only be a compiled csv if I created it.

Help!

Recently a new sidebar appeared on Firefox on my desktop. I actually really liked the change because I have wanted to move my tabs to the side for a while. I had tree style tabs installed and I was a little annoyed that I couldn't disable the tabs on the top bar. But now I can!

My laptop however does not have the new sidebar yet and when I look for updates it says there aren't any. My laptop has limited screen space and I much prefer to have this new ui choice but I can't enable it. I understand that they probably update new designs in batches to test the waters but is there a way to get around it and enable it on my laptop too?

I use the same Firefox account for both so it seems a little counterintuitive to have different experiences on different devices on the same account.

Also very much thank you for this change! It's something I've wanted for a while. I also have one little suggestion and that is to have the option for a similar feature to tree style tabs on the sidebar tab layout.

I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

I'm having much difficulty in attaching a article I see to Facebook. Its possible the problem may be I'm not using the right instruction on the Firefox options when I right click the article I want to attach to Facebook. Some of those options are, Save link as, Copy link, when I right click for options. Can someone explain what is the right option to use? And, how do I proceed once I choose the correct option to make that attachment to a Facebook message I'm replying to? There are times a picture of the article will attach to the Facebook message, but the text that is associated with the attachment will not appear? Can someone please help? Thank you.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. Please note I live in UK and I have a Desktop Computer but do not have a mobile phone. I use Firefox browser. This is what happened over 2 days Thurs and Friday. 28-11-24 THURSDAY @1.38pm On Thursday morning I used my computer with Firefox browser, and it worked perfectly OK. Then I had to go out shopping @11-15am. When I came back in doors @1.38PM I turned on my computer, it booted up as normal, then a Blue Screen appeared, with a message from Microsoft re back up in Cloud. I have not actually used Cloud before, although I did try to set it up earlier this year but not completed. So, I thought I would try again. This time I tried to register for the first time on cloud, I entered my email address and country, date of birth and then a password. Maybe something else, can't remember.

Then it asked for a code number that it said it had sent to my email, but I could not get that email then as I was stuck in between booting up and the Desktop screen. ( I DO NOT HAVE A MOBILE PHONE) As I did not have the code number, I clicked on, what may have said “not now” or similar message. Anyway, it would not continue so I had no option than to press the back button arrow, top left corner, several times. I think it took me back to the page with choices. I think I clicked remind me in a few days, which took me to the Desktop.

Normally my computer automatically opens Firefox Browser, but this time, I had to open Firefox, still no problem so far and the rest of Thursday OK. I did not try Microsoft Cloud again on Thursday.

29-11-24 Friday @ about 10.15am I thought that when I booted up, it may go back to where I left it Thursday, but no. When I turned on, there was no sign of the Blue Screen or Microsoft Cloud message re Back Up. When computer reached the Desktop, it did not load Firefox but an ERROR MESSAGE. It said. ERROR: PLATFORM VERSION "133.0" IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MINVERSION >= 132.0.2 MAXVERSION <= 132.0.2 MAYBE TRY TO REINSTALL FIREFOX

It worked perfectly well before I tried to set up Microsoft Cloud yesterday (Thurs 28-11-24) now I cannot load or use Firefox at all, because it comes up with the same message every time. I have tried turning the computer off and back on, no luck.

My worry about Reinstalling Firefox is that I have hundreds of websites saved in bookmarks folders and I am not sure if I would lose them.

At this moment I have had to endure Microsoft Edge which I don't like. Don't put me through any more pain. Can you please help out a pensioner lost in the modern technological world. Thank you David
