when I go into firefox and enter my password this is what I see.

When I open the Firefox browser, it asks me for a password and gives two options: Sign In and Cancel. Normally, if I enter the correct password, I can access the browser. If I press Cancel, access should be denied and the browser should close. However, this is not happening. When I press Cancel, the popup window disappears, but anyone can still use the browser, although they cannot access the saved autofill passwords. Could you help address this bug or issue?

All of my bookmarks disappeared. I have followed all the step to restore from the profile folder and to restore manually. It works to a point, then I get an error message saying Firefox is unable to process the backup file (see attached image). I even tried it in Troubleshooting mode.

Hello, I encountered an issue today where, upon starting my PC and opening Firefox, I found that I had been logged out of every website. My bookmarks, browsing history, and extensions are all still present, and I am using my usual profile. However, all active login sessions were cleared. I haven't changed any privacy settings recently, and I'm wondering if this is a known issue following a recent update or if it indicates a corruption in my profile's cookie storage. Could you please advise if this is a "normal" occurrence or if there are steps I should take to prevent this from happening again?

I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Luka.

With the latest firefox update all my bookmarks do not appear on my windows11 desktop. But the synchronized booksmarks on my win10 note book and on my iphone still exist. So nothing is lost, the bookmarks simply do not show up on the win11 desktop. With this firefox update I also received a desktop message that bookmarks might not appear because of an interference with the internet security program (f-secure) Unfortunately I did not give enough attention to this explaination there and the steps how to solve the problem.

Can somebody send me the link to this explaination or tell me how to fix the bookmark interference with f-secure?

many thanks thomas

Had trouble getting Bookmarks to look like I had on the old disk. I reinstalled the old disk and went to FireFox and downloaded the Bookmarks in a HTML file on a memory stick. Shut system down. Reinstall the new SSD disk and tried to "install" bookmarks under Manage Bookmarks, but I could not get the Bookmarks to show up on the space below the main Search HTML box. And my most recent websites found are now ABOVE the main Search HTML box. And ABOVE that is: "Get Support | Mozilla Support...... " It just all looks/feels different. I think in the old Firefox days, the line below was called Bookmarks Toolbar ? I can live with this, but I've spent 45 minutes trying to get 'the old way'. Now on that line below the main Search HTML box is also "Other Bookmarks", where I used to keep any site that was not on Bookmark Toolbar. Now this "Other Bookmarks" contains only one Tab called "FireFox Privacy", not any of my old "Other Bookmarks", that I thought I "Imported". I wish that my saved file that I "Export Bookmarks to a HTML.." did, when imported, that I would have been asked "Do you want your Imported Bookmarks to be installed exactly the way you had them when they were Exported?" Also I was on Linux Mint 22.2 on the first disk and also on Linux Mint 22.2 on my new SSD disk.

For the last two days, I have been ubable to access settings (X,). When I click the settings cog in th toolbar, thr toolbar grays out. I have also tried to access settings using the Hamburger Menu, clicking on settings, with the same result. I have clicked on Firefox in the menu tab, same result.

I have closed and restarted Firefox, with the same result.

Additionally, I can only close Firefox by force quitting. I don't know if the two are connected.

TIA. Keith

When I updated to Firefox 146 yesterday, the theme I was using disappeared and I ended up making a new theme using Firefox Color. I submitted it to the add-ons list and it has now been accepted, so now I am using it installed from the add-ons. Ever since I started using the new theme, even before installing it from the add-ons menu, my private browsing window is also using that theme. I want private browsing to use the default dark theme. That way I can easily tell if I'm using the private window or the regular Firefox window. However, I can't find a way to change a setting to go back to the dark window for private browsing. I've already checked about:config and browser.theme.dark-private-windows is set to true. I even toggled it to false and then back to true but there is no change. I looked at the settings for the extension Firefox Color, and it is turned off for private windows. I looked at the settings under the theme add-ons, but I don't see a setting there to turn it on or off for private windows. Am I missing something?

I am now on the very latest version, 146.0.1, and my private browsing window is still using the same theme as my regular window.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Below mentioned issue occuring ???

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to finance.jharkhand.gov.in. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

finance.jharkhand.gov.in has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I updated Firefox for my laptop this afternoon and another Firefox window opened and I had 2 windows. I closed the original window. I tried to restore my tabs and bookmarks in the new window. My Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows are greyed out in the "hamburger"menu. I have tried everything; trying to restore from my profiles folder on my laptop, trying about:session and at this point I am Totally lost and frustrated. I am asking for help :-) please to have what I had before. Thank you

Hi I used to have my tabs on the computer when I turned it back on and now I don't. I also cannot find how to set the computer to do this. Can I get some assistance on this matter. Please email me with the instructions at [edited email from public community support forum] / Thank you. Sherril

Recently, websites (e.g., YouTube) have stopped keeping me logged in. I've already checked all the security and privacy settings, but haven't found anything that seems to be causing this.

I hope someone can help me. It's really annoying having to log in to all the websites every day.

Still not always saving a page to my selected folder. However, if after clicking the "Star", I first select the location "Show your bookmarks", then to back to to selecting the folder into which I wish to save the page, it will then put that page into the folder of my choice. What settings do I need to have in place so that I do not have to do this double step to get the system to save a page in my selected folder? Let me know if I should just start over, uninstall Fire Fox, I have saved all my book marks and exported in the two formats, then reinstall the program. Thanks in advance for any solution. JJE
