I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Hi, I use Firefox as a primary browser on multiple PCs, so want it to remember a couple of addresses & payment methods for easy daily useage. However, I also access one business domain & when using that website only, I don't want Firefox to offer/remember/anything when it comes to addresses (which will be customer addresses) or payment details (again, for customers). Other autofill, like suggestions for some form fields would ideally still work.

Is there are way to make one domain exempt from address & payment saving/retrieval?

Thanks.

streaming sites that load on chrome, opera and brave do not load on firefox since the last update, the throbber is the only thing that loads. Running win 11 pro on a powerspec computer, 32 gig ram, onboard graphics, intel core I9 processor 12th gen I believe, has been checked and not one which had the issues

Hi there,

is this a bug or did I do/get something wrong? ( I relied on https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/tab-gruppen-in-firefox )

As there is the option, to "save and close" a tab-group, I thought it would be possible to acces the group again, after closing. This seemed to be the case, as clicking on the often looked for little "v"-button next to the tabs, provided me not only with a list of my open tab-groups but also with the menuepoint "closed groups", clicking on which, the closed groups were listed. I was happy about the tool and started to use it quite intensely, creating more than 10 closed groups, to which I could add additional tabs, although the groups were closed.

Well, so far so good, yesterday I found out, that "close and save" is not really saved? It just doesn't have "Closed groups" (geschlossene Gruppen) anymore.

Is that behavior according to plan (not mine, but the developers one) Is there any way I could get the closed groups and/or the tabs in them back?

Thank you. Svenja

Firefox closes my window too fast-feels like after seconds of inactivity. Can I extend to 5 or 10 minutes? I live alone so o no one is going to run in here and get on my computer when I get up to let the dog out.

Thanks!

I am living in China and I used to be able to use a VPN with firefox without any problems.

Several months ago, I was suddenly only able to browse if I switched the VPN on (previously, it worked with or without (depending on whether the website was accessible from China).

I have recently changed VPN providers and now firefox doesn't browse at all.

Is there anything I should change in the settings?

Thanks

Installing firefox on my new device: Not all of my bookmarks are uploading from firefox on my other device.

It uploads a really old version of the tool bar even tough it shows in the HTML folder I am importing from my other device that the updated links are in the tool bar category.

This has happened a few times and confused me but I figured it out tonight. I had a private window open and a regular window open and closed the regular one. When I reopened the regular one all of my pinned tabs were gone. This should be fixed, Firefox should differentiate between the windows and stop closing tabs on the regular window if it's closed before the private one. Kind of an odd thing.

I was able to recover my tabs with a json file thankfully but haven't been able to do so before as I had opened and closed multiple windows trying to figure out where the pinned tabs had gone and the "previous.json" had changed to those new open tabs. It might also be nice to have a few "previous.json" files be created instead of the single one for instances like this.

Cannot get in to my daily bookmarks .They ask now to sign in as new member. I cant check my bank accounts or medical sites or any bookmarks info at all. all went away. Please help !!!!

I'm afraid the community may be tired of me, but it seems this is the only help Firefox is willing to provide for my problems. First, I still can't get the History and Bookmarks to show, although for a while they did. On top of that, a new issue has developed. Firefox exe now shows on my desktop as well as where I actually want it, in the taskbar. When I try to move it from the desktop, the app is deleted from both areas. When I go back to my apps folder, where I choose to keep exe files, and create another shortcut to go in my taskbar, it gets put back on my desktop and the cycle repeats. With all that nonsense going on for a month or more (I've really lost track of the days and hours I've spent on it), my question is should I just uninstall Firefox, reinstall it and then try to get my History and Bookmarks back. Or what would be a better solution? Whoever helps me with this mess has my sincere gratitude. I've used Firefox as my browser for many years without ever having any trouble and am baffled by what's going on now.

I have Firefox installed and pinned to the taskbar. When I click it, it immediately goes to a download Firefox page instead of opening. I then open another tab to get into g mail or anything else. I can then close the download tab and continue. This is most annoying. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling which works but then lost all bookmarks and the answer there was to go to old Firefox and restore, which I did and that worked , however, the download page came with as well and this time in a different more colorful version that is quite long.

I run the current version of firefox on a Windows 11 Dell Inspiron Laptop. My bookmarks are here, but the tags have disappeared. This has happened once before, and it took several days to restore the tags. Why is this happening? How do I prevent it?

I use Firefox for genealogy research because it always keeps track of which pages I've previously accessed since their hyperlink will change color. Today, I ran Microsoft's PC Manager software and it suggested clearing the cache of Chrome and Edge. For some reason it also must have cleared the cache of Firefox since the previously accessed hyperlinks are no longer a different color. Since I had a created a restore point this morning before installing PC Manager, I restored the system to that point. Following the restore, Firefox would not open so I re-installed it from the website. I had previously backed up the profile folder and so copied that to the new profile folder of the fresh install. My bookmarks and history seem to be fine but I still don't see a color difference in the previously accessed hyperlinks. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be greatly appreciated.
