I-Firefox Community Forum

I went to youtube account of Jack Storm Jack Storms | The Glass Sculptor - YouTube; I tapped on his "website" and the next thing I know are the at least 3 side messages regarding a virus. I have attached one photo of said message.

this is another: https://berht-shv.com/zclkvisitor/9a3fb513-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d/85aefdc2-9ed0-48aa-922d-60f9f9fc0f2d?campaignid=9a50f321-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d

I'm having trouble signing into to some online news sites especially videos. The screen shows activity without actually loading a video or website site. I can't connect, it just keeps spinning.

Had a crash earlier on my macbook that required a restart. Everything else is fine but I have lost all history and bookmark data on my firefox browser. I tried going to see if i had the wrong profile and that was not the issue. I tired recovering the bookmarks in the manage boomarks option but there were no backup files.

I have some important bookmarks i need recovered. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

Today I updated to Firefox 143.0.3. When done (most of?) my add-ons were gone, in particular all my add blockers, facebook container, etc. Also, my search engine defaulted to Google (yikes!)from Duck Duck etc. I am very specific about trying to block all ads, trackers, etc and avoiding all Google products. Other things stayed the same like cookies preferences.

Is this done by design? Is there a file somewhere that still has all my add-on info, that I can restore.

I really would give up on browsing if I am forced to see ads all the time.

Thank you! Petrus Martens

firefox is keeping me from accessing certain sites. why. do i need to switch to safari to access the sites. they do load on safari. can it be fixed or do i need to change?

Firefox has always been my workhorse for my business, but after the last update, I can no longer open Firefox on more than one desktop on my Mac. Firefox requires me to designate either a specific desktop to open Firefox on--or to open it on all desktops. This doesn't work for me because on each desktop I open a different site on Firefox. I will no longer be using Firefox for work, and since I was using Firefox because of what I perceived were stronger security measures, I am very disappointed. I really wish software engineers would stop "innovating" and fixing things that are not broken.

Hello,

Google Drive today stopped loading properly. I keep getting the rotating circle or "working" in the lower left corner of the browser window. I can get it to load fine in Safari and Chrome.

Docs and sheets I already had open, I seem to be able to interact with and edit normally. But navigating the main file path in Google drive, opening folders, and opening files isn't working.

I would really prefer to not switch browsers, as my entire workflow is set up on Firefox.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah

Hello Firefox team,

I did update my Mac to IOS 26.0.1 and I have lost all the history and bookmarks, I have the "Sync" enabled with my browser.

All my important data has been lost, can you please look into this and help me please.

Thanks, Sajeel Irkal

Hi,

There is no customization panel under settings/home. can you please tell me where can i find the customization panel? I want to reset the wallpaper to default.

Firefox occasionally stalls during a page load or refresh. A quit/start sequence of Firefox resolves the stall without further action. Is there a key sequence that invokes a restart: Firefox 140.0.2 (aarch64), MacOS 15.5 (24F74)

How to get rid of the half-dozen old search sites from very top of each new page, directly under browser box. Those sites are places I no longer use, e.g., from my old job; from a Wiki search done ages ago. I have searched for help. I never see "three dots" when I hover my cursor above the offending items.

I was using Chrome. My daughter recommended Fire Fox for my MacBookPro. I did. Now I need to clean up this problem.

Thank you.

PS: I don't know which topic best describes my question.

Hi, I set a primary password so that this is required when I first sign in to Firefox but although the request for the password shows up, I realise I only need to press 'cancel' and firefox is opened.

!. link to youtube only flashes then plays only audio. Full video requires opening link in a new private browser window

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.
