I-Firefox Community Forum

Firefox has simply....gone from my PC. I have been using it for years, moved from device to device and have lots of history, favourites, browsing history etc etc...and many passwords stored within it.

I was using it just last night, but today, following a windows update it's just disappeared! When I re-downloaded and signed in none of my settings or passwords have reappeared...this is a bit of a disaster for me, please help!

I asked the following question and was sent to this answer, which does not apply to current versions of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228045 My question: how do save a username on Firefox for a website without saving a password because I do not want to save the password?

I installed Firefox on my new computer. It imported setting from Chrome. That's not what I wanted at all. Now, I can't get rid of that information that was imported because it synced. How do I get rid of this data permanently? I have Firefox on my old computer but I don't want to connect online for fear it will sync and contaminate my other Firefox installations. How do I clean out my online profile?

I am using version 143 for Linux and it is suppose to have improved fingerprinting protection. But when I go to https://coveryourtracks.eff.org i still see a result that says "your browser has a unique fingerprint"

Is there a parameter I should be enabling ?

I am unable to get Verizon to verify my account when I am using Mozilla Firefox. I can get Verizon to verify my account if I use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, but I would rather use Firefox. Can you help?

Is there away to prevent the auto-unhide of the menu bar in full screen mode when the cursor moves to the top of the screen? I have searched for answers to this and found some old posts about creating a userChrome.css file but I couldn't get it to work.

Here's my use case. I access a remote desktop through Citrix for work. I use a browser via Citrix Lite instead of Citrix Workspace because the desktop will dynamically adjust to the window size when I don't need it in full screen which Citrix Workspace will not do. However, the auto-unhide feature of menu bar when the browser is in full screen mode also causes the desktop to dynamically adjust when it drops down and again when disappears. This forces me pause when trying to work because it happens often since I'm using a a large monitor with multiple applications open with tool bars on the top rows. I know that I can not hide the menu and address bar but don't want to lose the extra screen real-estate. I would much rather have a keyboard shortcut to reveal the menu bar or some other option.

When using YouTube system freezes between 5-30 mins, of start of any video.

This is happening since the start of Oct'25, if anyone has any idea how to solve this kindly help.

I've repeatedly been unable to send a DM on a particular fb page ~ fb says it 'might' have something to do with my ad blocker! How do I disable just for that communication? (don't want to disable AB for anything else, I pick & choose that action. TIA

Gmail works on my phone (Android), Chrome, Opera, etc. It will no work in Firefox that I have used religiously for over 10 years. I've signed out of gmail and signed in...a dozen times. Nothing works. If I wish to read my emails, I switch to Opera

Why?

Hi!

Firefox has been my default browers forever, but recently (i guess with the last update?) when I try and use google image search, when i click a thumbnail instead of making it larger and displaying, it opens up like a mini tab on the right side, which ends up with the image displaying smaller than the original. This seems minor, but I do enough image searches that this ends up making it unusable to me in practice. I'm hoping this is just a setting i havent been able to figure out how to switch off.

Thanks for your help!
