I am not using any extension, my data clears automatically every 24 hours. I have issues using websites and am told I need to clear my cache or check my extensions. It's neither of these. What is wrong?

I am trying to watch C-Span and I have removed all the ad blockers on my computer that I am aware of but I still get a message from C-Span to remove my ad blockers. Please assist me in whatever way you can. Thank you.

Hello, I keep getting the General application error message when want to sync my account from PC/laptop to mobile device. Could you please, assist me here? Thank you. Vladimir

My bookmarks previously would be displayed on the left of the screen when I start Firefox. For some reason someone thought it would be an improvement to force me to use another click to show my bookmarks. Forcing the user to make more clicks is NEVER a good design choice. There seems to be no setting for getting my bookmarks displayed by default. Now there is just a setting whether or not to show a "sidebar" with a button I must click to show the bookmarks. Bring back my bookmarks please, or add a setting to allow me to get them back.

Thanks.

I used to have Adblock installedl then lost it. I've just reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to be working. What have I done wrong? Is there another system that Firefox recommends? Thank you.

I had a power outage and when it came back on, Firefox asked me to log in and restored everything except my saved passwords. I had a lot of saved passwords and none of them were restored. I tried to resync and nothing.

I restored some of the ones I remember, but many of those passwords were generated by Firefox itself, so I have no idea what they look like.

Is there any way to recover them?

I am very used to switching tabs by using the keyboard so I usually do Ctrl+tab and I have it set to recent order (which makes sense to me because most of the time you switch back and forth between two or three tabs) to navigate between tabs. In some recent update, some tabs became unreachable by using this keyboard shortcut, as no more tabs are displayed nor do they appear when you reach the end of the list, forcing me to use the mouse to look for the tab (please see screenshot attached).

I was hoping this had a workaround or if it is a bug I would like to know how to report it.

Thank you!

No doubt I had something to do with the (fancy font uppercase in bold) B appearing in my Firefox header line as the first and left-most character (image attached). Anyone know the source for this and how to shut it and anything else it does off? I like many others I have read commenting about unwanted things thru the PC years that have a disdain of things that sneak through uninvited.

The other thing so far as I know had nothing to do with Mozilla or Firefox but I'll mention it in case someone has an idea. A product install by the same name permanently labeled an outboard drive with this label bold text'Roboform2Gobold text. I know how it got there, it was with the install the product by that name, which I uninstalled, and no one from that company would or couldn't tell me how to get rid of the relabeling it had done. Uninstalling the software didn't take it out, and no one in a general forum had any suggestions. I know the traditional approach of adding or changing a label, but change attempts don't affect this reminder of a poor product that I had decided not to keep. They refunded, but did not help with the changeless drive label.

As I follow the instructions and get to the scan my PC bar code on the PC screen with my cell phone it causes the computer to respond which is only to give me an error that the PC is not paring or just sits on the same screen with nothing basically on it.

Hello,

I'm currently experiencing an issue with Picture-in-Picture (PiP) on Firefox. I am using Ubuntu 24.04.2. When I activate PiP for a video, the floating window opens correctly, but it minimizes or disappears as soon as I switch tabs or click on another window. I believe PiP should remain visible and floating while browsing other tabs or applications. Could you please confirm if this is a known issue and whether there are any plans to address it for Wayland users? Thank you for your time and support.

I've switched to vertical tabs as soon as they became available, and although I prefer using them, at the moment there is an annoying issue with them. If you have one or several pinned tabs, clicking one of them does show the corresponding page, but you can't interact with it until you click into it. To reproduce, have at least one pinned tab and a normal one. If you click on a normal tab and then press "Tab", the focus will start jumping between elements that are focusable. But if you click on a pinned tab, pressing "Tab" will first jump through the tab bar a few times before finally getting to the page: First, the tab itself will get the focus, then the "New tab" button, then the "Customize sidebar" gear icon, and only then does the focus move to the page itself.

What's annoying about it in practice is that one of my pinned tabs is a site that uses keyboard shortcuts for interaction, and whenever I click on it and start pressing keys, nothing happens. Then I have to click into the page once to move the focus to it, and only then does it become usable again.

So, it would be great if pinned tabs would behave the same way as normal ones, immediately focusing the page when clicked.

YouTube videos have been freezing after 15-20 seconds of play, for the past 2-3 months, and when I try to close YouTube, it freezes too, and when I try to close Firefox down, the same thing happens. I don't have ANY problems with YouTube when I use Chrome, so it's not my pc (Windows 11), it's a problem with Firefox. And before someone tells me to search Firefox forums or community for help,I typed in "YouTube freezes" in both, and there were none. And this only started happening 2-3 months ago: before that, YouTube worked perfectly in Firefox. Can someone PLEASE help with this? I hate to uninstall Firefox and use Chrome, but I will if I have to.

Hello everyone, As possible in previous Firefox releases I like that clicking on a .mdb file (msaccess) Firefox starts automatically Microsoft Access rather than asking where to save the .mdb file.

Thanks and regards Volker Zipp

When I booted up Firefox today, I noticed a good chunk of my tabs were gone. They were nowhere in 'closed tabs' in History, nor in recently closed windows. In trying to restore them, I've now lost ALL of my open tabs with no clear way of getting them back. I have no idea what to do. 'Restore previous session' is not an option available to me.

This 404 Not Found message only started happening about 4 weeks ago on my Imac. I can't search anything without getting this message. Very frustrating. and I have to go to Google and have no problems Any ideas? Mozilla/Firefox Program up to date

My locahost React JS development environment with Vite stopped working after the last update. When I run the development server on "http://localhost:5173/", the page never resolves. It work fine on my other machine. Is there some security setting prevent the page to load?

I just updated my Firefox app and it rearranged all my bookmarks. I would love to go in and resort them back to how they were before, but the only options I have on mobile are automatic sorting of alphabetical or chronological. I don't know if the manual sorting option was removed, but if it hasn't I'd like to know how to acess it. Thank you!
