When I try to bookmark a page, I expect to see "Bookmark current tab" and when I click that, to be offered 1) to put it in the same place that the last bookmarked page was put 2) or, alternatively, to be given a choice of locations.

This is what happens on one of my two laptops.

On the other laptop, I am not offered a choice of locations. I am simply forced to bookmark the new page in the location where the previous bookmark that I made is, and I then have to go to "Edit This Bookmark" and move the new bookmark from the location where it currently sits, to the location that I want. This is clunky and inconvenient.

How can I configure this second laptop to behave like the other laptop?

When I try to find answers to this problem online all I get is solutions on how to stop the autoplay preview. This isn't the issue. The problem is when the mouse pointer rolls over a video for a second the video will run in the same window in the way that if I had left clicked on it. This isn't an autoplay preview where the video starts playing on mouse over but doesn't actually trigger the video to open, this is where the mouse over actually runs the video replacing the original page with the video links on if you see what I mean. Firefox has never worked properly with Youtube, there's always something.

I recently migrated from Chrome to Firefox on my Mac and successfully imported all data, bookmarks etc. However I cannot figure out how to ADD a new bookmark to an existing folder. Every page I read about bookmarking fails to show how this is done. In Chrome its simple since the drop down menu allows the user to view every folder, but in Firefox I don't see how to do this. Furthermore, when I go to Bookmarks>Manage bookmarks I don't see any of my folders..PLEASE show me an EASY way to do this. Thank you

On the Omnivore website, picking google as the login option causes a popup window to open. Logging into google in this window causes the contents of it to become white and unable to be interacted with, preventing logging in. Reopening the window opens it onto this white screen. Clearing cache opens it to the login screen, where the same problem repeats after logging in.

This problem still happened in troubleshooting mode

Hi There,

I have one webpage (https://www.dcbservice.com/) that when it loads in firefox it changes from color page to grey when loading is complete. I do not have this issue in the firefox on mobile or phone browser or with microsoft edge. Nor is this issue prevalent when I go to other websites using firefox.

I have apparently changed something without realizing what I have done, is there anything I can do to change the setting back?

Hi. Interestingly, Firefox doesn't have an option to show only the saved sites on the homepage. But rather messes it up with the sites i've visited before. It's a really simple issue but is really annoying me. Nearly every other browser has this but not Firefox. Also i've seen a lot of people complaining about the same issue here but they all seem archived/closed. I don't think it would be hard to implement such a basic feature.

This is a duplicate question because it was not solved the last time, and there were no other replies.

1. Works on all other browsers, but Firefox plays only audio and a blurry video (see screenshot). 2. PC is equipped with a beefy i9-13700 and RTX 4080; even with that CPU, disabling hardware acceleration eats up almost 25-30% CPU and it is not practical to watch videos that way. 3. Is this bug really not that common? Is it just me and that's why there's no traction for fixing this bug? 4. How do I elevate this request so someone takes action, in case we find no solution in this thread?

I like the Firefox notification at the top of the browser that says "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window." However, I recently accidentally clicked "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked."

I can't find any way to *undo* this choice. How can I get this notification to start appearing again whenever Firefox blocks a pop-up? I feel like this should be an easy checkbox somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

I found that you can hold shift+delete, or hover over *search* suggestions and click the "..." to remove suggestions, but for the list of suggestions that appear when you simply click on the address bar to make it active, neither of these work and there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the settings that allow you to manually remove items from this list. There was a website that I visited very frequently over the last 1-2 years, that I do not need to visit pretty much ever again, it's at the very top of the suggestions every time I click the address bar even though I haven't visitted the website in months. There are other websites in there that I don't want, even if I do still visit them, I don't necessarily want or need them to be suggested. The only way I have found is to go into my history, search the domain name, and delete all traces of the website from my all-time history. This worked for the first website I mentioned, but I don't want to have to delete my history for each website I don't want in my suggestions. Long-term history can be extremely useful. Plus it's just a super janky way of doing something very basic that should be as simple as "Right click > Delete suggestion", especially as that already exists for search suggestions. Is there an obscure or hidden way of doing this that I may be missing?

When I found the shift+del method and the "..." method I spent a good 10 minutes not understanding why it wasn't working, thinking my FF was outdated as apparently these were added in version 113, but I am on 114 so that didn't make sense. It was only after a while that I discovered that search suggestions are apparently handled separately from the default suggestions shown when you simply click on the address bar. This doesn't seem all that streamlined, so I guess as a bonus feature suggestion: make it so that the same method applies to both types of suggestions? I assume feature suggestions don't go here so I might make an actual suggestion later...

Thanks.
