Using Firefox 145.0 (64-bit), "Firefox is up to date" on PC with Windows 11 Pro.

I was so pleased when Firefox's Group Tabs arrived. I often have about 12 tabs open to do Railway research. So I thought, Group Tab, great idea. Save a group of tabs as one tab. Instead of creating a Bookmark Folder and each time opening all bookmarks from said folder, what better way to do than opening one tab. Or so I thought. I also created a "SHIP" tab for my hobby in the shipping industry, so I could have two group tabs that could be collapsed making the tab bar tidier. I saved an closed each group tab then closed down my PC. Next on restarting, Firefox starts up automatically as chosen by me. Both RAIL & SHIP tabs reappeared without me doing anything. Great! However yesterday, I inadvertently opened another Firefox window, forgot it was opened. So when I shut down my PC, I closed the Firefox browser and then discovered the over Firefox window I had opened. Closed it shut down my computer. Of course when I opened my PC today, Firefox started automatically, but with the tab that I had open in the last Firefox window. No problem I thought, I will just open the saved Group Tabs. It was a problem, where are the Group Tabs saved? Could I find the location? NO! I looked in Bookmarks, all the various History lists, even the down arrow to list all tabs. Nothing, the Group Tabs are none existent. I have checked on the "about:config" section for Group Tabs and everything is enabled "true". So where are the Group Tabs saved? I have been with Firefox for around 14 years, often citing it as the best browser. But over the last five years I find myself using Chrome more and more. Chrome has Group Tabs which do not not need the users to save them, they are saved automatically, and are easily found on opening the Chrome browser. Why doesn't Firefox have this?

Hello I got a pop up or it was new tab informing about new firefox functions. It was about profile creation and management. Now i have two profiles and cant switch back to my old one. I cant seem to be able to delete new profile to return to my old one.

For the past few days I have been noticing that the websites run by google such as youtube, gmail, maps, are not running properly in firefox desktop app. I have to refresh it again and again or close the entire firefox and restart it to start working properly. Any idea why this is happening ?

My firefox is already updated to it's latest version.

Recently several sites, including Zoom.us and Genesis.com, no longer work in Firefox on my PC running Windows 11. For example, when I log into Zoom spinning wheel indicating the system is working keeps spinning and never lets me enter my password. Yet if I use Edge everything works as it should. I really want to be able to keep using Firefox as my default browser.

I would like to further customize my new tab page.

Specifically, I'd like to get rid of the firefox logo at the top, and I'd like to increase the number of columns of shortcuts per row from 8 to lets say 14, while decreasing the spacing between each icon by about half.

I've already followed [tutorial] from y'all on how to increase the number of rows, and another tutorial that had me fiddle with the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows setting directly in my about config. I have enough rows I want more columns and less space between them.

Find attached the current state of my new tab page, with my particular shortcuts redacted, and the number of additional shortcuts I could fit on the page without adjusting the gabs between them or resorting to a scroll bar. I'm missing out on at least 44 short cuts due to the default constraints, which I've been unable to find working overrides for. Depending on how cut-throat I get with my thin-margins, I could potentially be missing out on up to 80.

I tried following the near identical instructions from both this stack exchange and this tutorialpedia article, to try and get at the problem by modifying my about page's CSS; but I was unable to change part of the page's appearance. Not even the background or text color.

Is the information in these out-dated (the stack-exchange is 7 years old) or otherwise inaccurate; or is there perhaps a setting in firefox which is interferring with these tutorials' solution method.

I have already tried resetting firefox with extensions disabled to check if any of my extensions are causing the problem to no discernable affect.

Every time I accidentally close Firefox I lose all my saved groups on reopening. I can see they are still there but cannot see how to open them. They are such a great innovation. Please make it easier to restore them from previous sessions. Going through a search history and restoring them one by one is hugely time consuming when they are already there and just inaccessible. btw, I tried using scrounger (via troubleshooting) but the "Save List" is greyed out.

Running on Mac OS 15.6.1

I'm 84 and know little about computers - when I try to get into e-mail it says "program running but not responding" How do I correct this? Please help. Since I can't open my e-mails you can't reach me. Phone: [edited phone# from public community support forum]

I have an HP AIO w/Win 11 and use Firefox for my browser. Last week I did a reset and since then when I try to use a link in Facebook it won't load. All I get is a greyed-out screen with a pulsating circle. The site the link is programmed to go to is faintly visible behind the greyed out screen. No problems if I use Google. What do I have to do to get Firefox to recognize, and open, legitimate links?

Just updated my Firefox. I had a huge tab group saved, and tons of bookmarks. I've been using firefox for months, I didn't have an account signed in on the browser though. I updated it and it had to restart, and everything was gone when it reopened. I even clicked that it should reopen tabs after restarting, but it just opened to tell me to make a profile. It told me that they just introduced profiles, and it put me on profile 1, which looked brand new. No browsing history whatsoever, no bookmarks, my background that I set is gone, and I cannot find anythign at all. I had over 50 bookmarks, inclyding very imprtant links for a final paper, and I'm genuinely so upset. Multiple of those bookmarks were things for me to go back to read/watch later and I will literally not be able to find them. If anyone has any tips at all, I'd love them. I am so seriously upset right now and I'm just hoping its possible for that to come back.

Can I permanently turn off InformationUpdate available' which appears each time I open Firefox. I must click Dismiss to close it. The problem is that after each update, many services to which I log every day, state that I am logging from a new device and I must complete a time consuming procedure of adding a new device in many places. And I don’t need most of the updates.

Lost my audio on Firefox. All movies and web site videos SILENT

Strange exceptions: e.g., can't ear video on youtube.com; BUT, CAN hear it if web page has LINK to YouTube!?!? SOME Twitter videous have audio; others are silent

How do I turn Firefox audio back ON?
