I-Firefox Community Forum

I'm back to using Firefox for Windows. What is great about Firefox it's so customizable what is bad about Firefox is it's so customizable. I searched the forums for customizations that I wanna do and more often than not they are settings in the about:config section. Is there any way to back them up so that way if mess up something or if I can't remember the changes That I made to the about:config file Especially if I'm either migrating to another computer or reinstalling Firefox.

I lost all my short cuts and have no ability to add them back or get the ones I had back cked settings which is on but I see no short cuts or the add shortcuts button that was there

I have a desktop PC with Windows 11 and Firefox 144.0 (64-bit).

In Firefox, when I click the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner of the page, and click on "History", "Recent History" shows 9 sites.

When I click on "Manage History": "Today" contains 1 name "Yesterday" contains the same name "Last 7 days" contains 9 names

In the search box, when I type about:preferences#privacy and press enter.

Under "History", "Firefox will" shows "Remember history"

How do I get Firefox to keep the history of the sites I visited?

This topic was already dealt with at https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://support.mozilla.org/si/questions/1491724&ved=2ahUKEwjh3JWX1KSRAxWDyMkDHYXfDf0QFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Zp2I2jgPnZ9gkSf5UgMGS. The solution given there was to change extensions.screenshots.disabled in about:config.

Unfortunately, my Mozilla Firefox (ver. 144.0 (64-bit)) doesn't have extensions.screenshots.disabled. So what now?

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

How do I disable the cruft which appears in the URLbar? Specifically, the trackers detected symbol, the certificate verified symbol, the bookmark this page symbol, and the question mark symbols which appear on both the URLbar and the searchbar.

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

Every SINGLE time Firefox update now, we have to create a new profile, EVERY SINGLE TIME. We loose all our open tabs, passwords, history, bookmarks, everything.

Why is yours the only browser that does this, and how do we stop this from happening.

This is having an effect that is starting to drive me away from using all your products.

Greetings.

Several times today I have had messages not sent because of this error message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue". I am sending political messages and am concerned that Mozilla is blocking me. I have sent hundreds of similar messages over the years with no problem.

What's up now?

Thank you. Sincerely, Gail Forrest

My search history is clogged with repetitions of the same search. For example I log onto my bank account and the search history shows 15 plus or minus entries. It also happens with other sites i visit often. I searched the internet about "history" and It was suggested that is check extensions and remove them. Then Just today my bank sign-in icon was gone. Sorry Im not always using the correct terminolgy.

i have a firefox account on my old windows 10 computer. Firefox is having trouble "finding that site" for some sites I've used for years. I've checked internet settings in Firefox, reset my WIFI router, etc. with no response for connectivity. But I really guess I don't know what or where to check... Thought it was a VPN setting, not fixed. What should I try to find and correct my problem?? Ray ([edited email from public forum])

I was unexpectedly signed out of my account. I used my encryption key to sign back in which i have done before. I have never experienced this problem before. This time when i logged back in all of my saved passwords were gone. Is there any hope of fixing this issue?
