I-Firefox Community Forum

For some reason the program has stopped saving my passwords, all of my bookmarks are still listed but they are disabled. No autofill. When I manually put in a username and password the program drop down asks me if I want to save it, I reply yes, but it doesn't happen.

See the subject. I've been seeing delays in launching for several months. I've run several windows defender malware checks (full and the one where it runs outside of anything brought up). I've reset firefox. I did all this also because I was seeing random ads from a news site from what they were trying to get me to do was install macafee (but it's malware). While I'm not seeing those ads now and I'm suspicious they can from the news site vs. my browser, I'm very aware of anything trying to capture screen scrapes. I'm even considering changing all my passwords as I'm not sure if anything was captured. This morning, firefox upon launch took a long time. Then it said installing updates. My desktop flashed and firefox launched. I have not installed anything or any addons, extensions, etc. So either this was firefox doing an update it needed or it's something else. I'm on windows 10.

Had an IMPORTANT list of websites that were listed just below the top search bar. They have disappeared, and I need them back where are they and how do I place them back where I had them. Signed, Technically challenger senior that requires step by step instructions, basic skills please :)

Logged on to find this message. Followed "Fix" set as best I could (I am puter dumb) with no joy. "Manage Bookmarks" is completely blank. All wits end, Please HELP!

All of my history except of today's has disappeared. I did not erase my history, and really need it back. I did try to remove a couple of sites from my Most Visited, as Firefox was saving all sorts of sites I don't really visit often. In addition, I am being asked to sign in with my password at every site I go to where as before I was automatically allowed to enter, as all my passwords are saved. What happened - and how can I get back to normal?

Contributor note: bookmarks are also missing (/questions/1578816).

I wish to add an exception to an address which I host locally. I've explored many options which didn't work such as: Adding HTTPS-Only Exception Disabling certain security features

When watching videos on youtube, I hold down the space bar to make it go at 2x speed, this makes the video and the audio de sync the more I hold the space bar, It's been happening for quite some time and I can't seem to find an answer as of why this happens or how to fix it.

By Firefoxwss working great the last time I used it it is the primary search engine for my iPhone 17 as well as my Mac however, when I loaded it today it the screen just said blank. All of my bookmarks are on Firefox. How do I get this fixed quickly? I am, right now being edited. I’m sitting here looking like a fool because I chose to use Firefox rather than Safari or Google. First question they ask me why are you using Firefox. And then, of course, Firefox /x I/ dies all of my bookmarks are on Firefox. Firefox will not open! I have used Firefox for the last nine years. Never had a problem until today when I needed it not to have a problem.

I recently made the switch to Firefox full time a few weeks ago, and in that time, I have been getting more and more annoying at how Firefox renders Youtube.com.

If I'm on my feed, and I click to watch a video, watch it and go back, I never know what I'm going to see when it goes back a page. Obviously it goes back to youtube.com, but I never know if it's going to load at the top of my feed, or about ten rows down. Even if I click a video in the very first row, and then go back a page, it may or may not load at the top of my feed. I could also actually click a video on the tenth row, and then when I go back, it might load at the top of my feed, though that is not as common, it has happened. It also sort of, kind of, reloads the page when it goes back, but never goes back to the point on my feed at the spot where the video I just watched is, as Chrome and Brave do.

This is not how Chrome or Brave do things, and yes, I know they use a different engine, and I'm sure that's the reason for this issue. Chrome or Brave, if I'm watching a video and click back to my feed, they are much better at loading what is in cache, even if I the video was on the 100th row. I can then manually refresh if I want to.

Since the last update, I have noticed that some websites/webpages are no longer available, one of which is Lincoln Financial. I can only get so far and I get errors. It is NOT on Lincoln Financial's end, as the site/pages open perfect in Chrome and Safari. This is something new with the security/privacy in Firefox, I am assuming. I need to be able to access this sight, as it is my Long Term Disability site/page, which I need to have communications with.

I think this is going to have to be dealt with on more than a simple help thread. this is going to have to be dealt with with tech support.

This is Firefox on a brandnew Fedora installation. Using Jupyter notebooks on Google Colab, I experience delays when typing into input fields. It's not quite a deal-breaker, but annoyingly sluggish. On a Chromium-based browser, Vivaldi, I don't notice this problem.

My hope is there is a certain overlap of the demographics using Colab, Firefox and Fedora. I wonder if there is a known problem in this area? Is there a configuration settings you can suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Bernd.

Hi, I had to reinstall my windows where I thought my Firefox would sync up upon reinstallation. However, nothing would sync up and the best I could do myself was to import pretty out-of-date Chrome data. When I to my firefox account and scroll to connected services I see my last PC name with its firefox login. Is there any way to recover that data and import to my current device? I read you kept sync data as encrypted data on your Mozilla servers, so I hope that's a viable solution.
