I-Firefox Community Forum

Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

After the last Firefox, it has blacked out all the short videos on facebook. I looked up the issue on youtube and several people are having the same issue. I followed some of the advice and unchecked a few boxes and it worked for a few times, and then went back to blacking out the videos. Tried two other browers and there is not problems. Go back to Firefox and the videos are blacked out.

Over about the last week I have had three Windows updates. After the second of these updates I discovered that moving from one website to another or moving from one page on a website to another page would result in nothing more than a continuing horizontal moving blue ball going back and forth in the address area. After some testing this appears to continue without any further Firefox response or internet activity. After checking online there was a suggestion about clearing the cache so I tried that several time clearing everything in the Privacy area of TOOLS. This had zero effect, at least after the windows updates. (NOTE: The most recent third update did not clear the problem.)

I thought you might want to check this for yourselves.

Hello,

I recently installed a new add-on in Firefox — the one that allows you to create different profiles with individual names and colors in the browser.

After the installation and a subsequent restart of my MacBook Pro, my previously open session windows were not automatically restored when starting Firefox as usual. Instead, a message appeared asking whether I wanted to “restore all session windows.” I clicked “Yes,” but none of my previous windows opened.

Since then, my saved passwords and bookmarks also seem to have disappeared. I suspect that my previous profile may have been overwritten or that a new profile was created.

Could you please let me know if and how I can restore my previous sessions, bookmarks, and passwords? Is there perhaps a way to access my data through a backup or via the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file or an older Firefox profile?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards, Diamant Adler

Hello, I reinstalled Firefox and am unable to recover my bookmarks and other data. Before the re-installation, I manually backed up my data, but when I try to restore from the backup, it does not work. All my bookmarks and previous data are still missing. How can I fix this and recover my information?

About a half dozen favorites were shown on the tool bar but have now been reduced to two with a double arrow following which produces a dropdown menu which is filled with the rest of my bookmarks/favorites. Clicking on any of them produces a side menu. The Home-icon which used to be in the upper left corner now site in the middle of the bar, I don't know what has caused this change but I'd like it to go back the way it was. My default search engine is Yahoo.

Firefox has been going dormant (browser will not open), along with Task Manager and all Windows Admin Tools, whenever Windows 10 tells me it's time to update. I finally uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, and now the browser opens, but all of my passwords and bookmarks are gone. I cannot find a "Profile" folder on my PC.

After installing the Up Grade last afternoon , I can not open WEB SITES My Bank - facebook - Amazon Prime or Ebay - I can sometimes get to Sign Page but no Key ACTION Possible . Internet works in other places I go . WHY ? CAN I RETURN to the OLD FIREFOX ? If so HOW ?

For some time now while using Firefox, I've had to reenter my password when trying to visit new tabs of the site discord.com, even when using a link that should directly take me there (or duplicating the tab.) This is unexpected behavior and on a new profile of Firefox (or in other browsers), discord remains logged in even when the site is visited in a new tab.

Now you should probably know that I use the more tools option to customize the look of my browser. I generally enable the titlebar and bookmark toolbar for personal preference. After several hours of testing and tweaking and trying to bug test the issue I've realized that there is a correlation and discord only forces me to log in again when I have either the titlebar or bookmarks toolbar enabled on the current profile.

I would really like a fix that I can either do myself or would like to see this bug addressed in the future. There's no reason that my choice to use the titlebar or bookmark bar should affect my browsing?

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if there's anything I can provide/do to help resolve this issue!

My desktop (WIN 11, fully updated) Firefox (reloaded yesterday) does not play well with Google's Blogger. I maintain an open tab on my Blogger account, but that SEEMS to cause freeze-up on all other tabs. THis morning I opened a tab and attempted to sign in to Blogger but a connection to Google never came through. However, when using Edge to open/use Blogger there are no problems.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

After updating to the new version all of my open tabs & Bookmarks have disappeared with no option to recover. Additionally, all of my saved passwords for the various tabs I use daily no longer auto-generate with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Log onto Firefox. Go to Yahoo mail, log off this and yahoo homepage shows daily pop up which is some sort of counter ("Don't ghost us" day 1,2,3, on on Google says this is a browser issue, Redirect to Chrome same thing. Have adblock on. All settings on all 3 browers do not stop it
