I-Firefox Community Forum

It has been two times now where I will open firefox and suddenly all my profiles are gone. I have tried everything to try to get them back like trying to get "old firefox data" back or about:profiles, but there is literally nothing to recover. All of my bookmarks and passwords are fine but I have to log in to everything all over again and reset my home page with all my shortcuts. it is extremely annoying, especially when I use up all the shortcut spaces. It prompts me when I start firefox to create a profile, sign in again, and set firefox as my preferred browser. I have been using firefox for about a year and havent had this problem until a couple of weeks ago. What can i do to avoid having to do this again in the future?

My home desktop computer is asking for a network login to access the internet today, after FireFox crashed. I do not see anywhere to login. Please help. I have a Mini Mac. I am at a library as my internet is not working.

When I try to full screen any streaming site on Firefox I can see the desktop on the edges, the video isn't fully centered on the screen. I have tried updating Firefox, my drivers, restarting my computer and even checking to make sure the resolution and aspect ration were good. Is there maybe an issue or bug I can try and resetting with a setting on the browser?

I recently refreshed my FF installation. Before I did that I had configured my tab settings to always display the x icon (close tab) in all active tabs. After the refresh, the x icon is gone for all tabs.

I cannot remember what I did to get them to display originally. I've tried to do this in the userchrome.css file. But it didn't work. Let me know if you have a solution.

Hi.

I had to install a new OS disk. So, I created an account, and made a synchronization. Then, I made a security backup. When I installed the SO and Firefox, I logged in to sync. As soon as I logged, it automatically started to sync the random tiles it had after install. So, I had to use the places.sqlite and favicon.sqlite files. It got me half the tiles, and even those were misplaced. So, I had to go for the security html, and I finally got everything I wanted. But, now it says the account is not associated. If I login to associate it, when I shut down the PC, it returns to those half tiles, and out of order.

How can I get this right?

Starting with Firefox 147.0, new tabs appear at current tab position when clicking on URL. How can I revert back to new tabs appearing at end tab position when clicking on URL?

I am using Firefox 149.02 (64-bit).

I access the website The Daily Beast (https://www.thedailybeast.com) and like to make Comments on some of their articles. Up until about 2 months ago everything was running smoothly. But now I am unable to use the Comment section. I get the following response from The Daily Beast...

"Oops, something went wrong :( We detected some connectivity issues therefore we’re unable to load the Conversation."

I do not have this problem when using either the Norton Private Browser or the DuckDuckGo Browser.

What's wrong?

Whenever I open a new firefox page externally, such as from the system tray or by opening a link from outside firefox, nothing happens for about five seconds and then it loads normally. When I open a new firefox page internally, such as from file ---> new window or by clicking a link within firefox, it loads instantly like normal. This has been happening since yesterday (3/13/26) evening.

I have already tried all of the following fixes and none have done anything:

Clearing firefox startup cache running firefox in troubleshoot mode running an older version of firefox disabling all my extensions disabling my antivirus disabling hardware acceleration disabling captive portal detection making sure both firefox and windows 11 are fully updated refreshing firefox reinstalling firefox rebooting my PC disabling IPv6 preventing accessibility devices from accessing my browser clearing my cookies

im playing farmville 2 in zynga games online but it plays very slow ans keeps freezing. ive done what was recommened but there is no change to the game, i was wondering if you could help by telling me if there is anything i need to do in the browser to get this game working better

after my laptop crashed (again did so over 100 times) but this time all history is gone, could not restore last session/s - can't log into my accounts (any) - can't set it to an earlier date (e.g. yesterday) to eliminate whatever the problem is (am not an IT expert, so I don't know how - just know that it is possible) - I have tried for 4 hours - no avail - I really need the status of 4-5 hours ago so I don't lose so much

This morning this was at the top of my screen when I logged into my computer. "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

I did click on it however nothing happened or so I thought. I later go to the upper right hamburger and click on it and go to the bookmark tab only to find all my bookmarks are gone.

Can anyone tell me how to get them back since that is my quick access to my business sites? Is there a way to find them or are they just gone?

I cannot get the tab to stay out so I can take a screen shot. Sorry.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ive tried other browsers like Chrome and Microsoft Edge and have no problem.

I do get a Message that states my Facebook account has been temporarily suspended and I have to shut my PC down to get out of this message which locks my screen!

Can you help or suggest anything.

Windows Defender shows NO issues.

I've recently begin to receive pop-up notifications from Facebook, but when I choose to stop them, it doesn't. It takes me to Facebook and the notifications keep coming. How do I stop them?

I tried a restore but the only date available for bookmarks was today (jsonlz4 file). I tried other online suggestions but I cannot locate any old files to restore from. If I cannot get them back, I will switch browsers because the loss is unacceptable.

Starting about a week or two ago, I noticed the text of Firefox is grainy. But when the cursor moved, it would get grainy in a different way. So, some letters which were previously unreadable became readable, but other letters became unreadable.

Going to the same web pages with other browsers renders the page readable. So, the problem seems to be Firefox specific.

Even while typing this, portions of the characters on my screen blink in and out.

If there is no solution, I will have to utilize some other browser.

Thank you,

Firefox displays some search results in French. Microsoft Edge shows results only in English. Firefox settings are for English. Google settings are for English. How to fix Firefox or should I uninstall, then reinstall Firefox? Rick
