I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

Is there a way I can have Firefox permanently offer the option to generate a secure password? Many, many, MANY times Firefox will not recognize that a particular input field is for a password, and therefore does not offer the option to generate one. Considering everything on this forsaken planet requires creating an account now, this minor issue has become very common and annoying for me.

To reiterate: I would like Firefox to always offer to generate a password, regardless of how the input field is labeled or marked up. Thanks!

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

Please help me as i want to record some gameplay but it keeps getting squished & it is pissing me off. I have asked on reddit & people were unhelpful & telling me to just buy another computer. this is annoying as it is causing me when playing games it causes text to be unreadable at times. Thanks in advance.

Whenever I hold down the mouse button or space bar to speed up a video by 2x, it seems to let out a small crackle / pop, it wouldn't be as annoying if it only happened one time but it happens practically anytime I do it, sometimes it's when I first press it down, and sometimes it's when I let go.

I've been using Firefox for years and never had this issue until like 3-4 days ago I'd say, and it's a small thing but it adds up constantly and makes the experience fairly annoying, I tested the audio on google chrome extensively and it doesn't seem to happen there so I have to assume it's a Firefox issue.

Would love to see if there's a way to fix this.

Firefox security features warning on Linux doesn't explain what kind of file to add to apparmor.d/firefox-local. Is it a .txt file, or something else?

As stated above, after the Firefox upgrade to version 155.0.1 I now only have 1 row of home page shortcuts and before the upgrade had 4 full rows of shortcuts. The setting are still set to 4 rows, but only an auto generated 1 row. I would like to restore my rows without having to add them back one by one.

Since the last update 155.01 I can't use Firefox as it freezes and hangs after 3 - 10 seconds. On Windows 10 , 64 bit. There seems a bug with the last update for Windows 10 users

Crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/c0455e29-69e9-4030-8b03-fdf430260909

Not sure the crash report is related to the issue.

The same issue happens to all of my 3 Windows 10 PCs since the update from today.

I have uninstalled Firefox and downloaded again, but same issue happens again.

I cleared the cache also but to no avail

How can I use Firefox again?

There is seriously something wrong with the way Firefox operates. There is nothing wrong with the following site so why am I seeing this message?

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with news.sky.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

news.sky.com 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. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for news.sky.com. The certificate is only valid for: . What can you do about it?

I installed a Mozilla/FF GMail Notifier App. I tho't that I removed it as I no longer needed it. It still Notifies me; annoying. But it's not in my Extension List to Remove again if need be??? How can a hidden/invisible App be still operating, that is supposed to be Removed?

Since Mozilla/FF has no option to Delete a Question, I found the answer to the above posted. MY error: It was a Google Linked App, not the one I Removed which did indeed become Removed. Sigh!

Seemingly any program that has links that when clicked there, redirect and open a new tab in your browser just, do nothing now that I've swapped to Firefox? No indication or response on Firefox, it just acts like nothing happened. I don't even know why something this simple would break, let alone what WOULD break it.

This is a followup to a previous post. I pinned a tab in firefox, and later deleted the webpage that was pinnned. I do not see a way to edit the pin, so I deleted it and created a new one with the new, updated webpage. I use the sync feature to keep all of my browser settings the same across three computers. I have tried multiple approaches to correct the problem. 1. turned off the sync and manually unpinned the tab, cleared the cache and browser history, checked to be sure I do not have the option to reload previous tabs turned on, booted in the mode that does not load any plugins, rebooted the computers 2. with sync turned off, after all of those steps, I opened the new page and pinned it on each computer. when I close the browser and reopen it on any computer, the original pinned tab returns. Turning the sync back on or re-enabling the option to sync tabs and history have no effect.

Is there a way, even if it´s within the configuration files, to change that pinned tab or block the old one from opening? Note that the website for the old and the new pinned tab is the same. the difference is the page itself. the old tab was [website].administration-landing. the new page is [website].admin-lp.

The is no reason why the old page, which no longer exists, continues to be pinned in the browser, but I can´t get rid of it.

Please help. Thanks.

Sites struggle to load a lot of the time now, sites like youtube don't load until I clear my browsing history and cookies, some sites don't load at all, some shops don't load any image previews. I've tried on other browsers when these things happen and they don't happen there.

I accidentally deleted my old Firefox beta And I need to recover my settings bookmarks and data etc by logging in how do I do that immediately? I'm trying to recover my old Firefox beta account how can I do that immediately

i want to activate the build in VPN but it says i need to sign in. so i do that. then it says i need to click on it and it sends me back to the sing in and tells me to do it again...

One of the more particular habits I have retained after switching from Chrome to Firefox is putting things in Tab Groups. This works great on Chrome as groups are more-or-less visual, and don't make a mess once you've closed them. On Firefox, however, I've noticed one really annoying thing: tab groups are saved in a giant list. Part of my workflow results in making Tab Groups with the same name as some of my bookmarks. When using the address bar to go to the bookmark will result in the tab group of the same name being brought up. For various purposes, this is decidedly unhelpful. In addition, when using the "Recent Tab Groups" drop down, it is rather annoying to see an entire screen's worth of tab groups being saved, especially when they all have the same(ish) name.

Is there a way to disable this saving of tab group names (and contents)? Clearing it out manually gets very annoying.
