I-Firefox Community Forum

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The articles on restoring from backup are outdated.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!

Hi Team, I am facing an issue that i have setup the download setting of PDF file as save file and automatically download in my system. but firfox is not working as expected.

When I login to a site where there are many widgets (windows) on the screen - the windows are all missing scroll bars. If I login under a different browser they are there. This happened about a week or so ago. It has to be a setting change in Firefox. Please advise.

I've been using kelly blue book to research new cars. Yesterday it would load the vehicle information, but when I click on the blue box "see pricing" it just reloads this page. Has worked fine for the past week or more, but yesterday started doing this?

My Firefox VPN is still showing as nearing my limit, despite it now being October everywhere in the world. Why hasn't it reset to 50GB? I've tried restarting Firefox and it didn't make any difference. It still shows "Getting close to your VPN limit. You have 2.2GB of 50GB left this month."

Title. 156.0 had NVIDIA Video Super Resolution working just fine. 156.0.1 has broken it on my setup. Nothing I have done has brought it back - toggling settings, clearing caches, forcing it on in about:config, etc. The plugin seems to be broken.

Was working just fine for over a year prior.

Latest Stable Firefox 156.0.1 RTX 5080 Driver 596.49 (May '26)

Does not show as working in the Control Panel, and is clearly not working on any video site. YouTube, the BBC, and Twitch were the ones most tested.

Please consider a fix. Thank you.

HI All Recently purchased a laptop and want to have FF sync with my desk top. I am signed in to both devices with the same account and have checked all settings on both and they are identical. Why are they not syncing?

I have been having random crashes Firefox Snap on Kubuntu 24.04 (and now 26.04). Sometimes Firefox will run stably for over an hour, sometimes it will crash in less then a minute from (re-)launch. I have tried the usual troubleshooting steps of 'run in troubleshoot mode', 'refresh', disable plugins, but the crashing seems to happen even when running in troubleshoot mode. I also have not been able to figure out any kind of event or user-action that triggers the crash; it might happen while browsing, it might happen while I am not even at my computer. At first I thought 'the Devs will handle this', but it has been some 6 months so I think my case is not very common/pressing to the community. I'd like to take a more proactive approach in solving the problem. I am still a novice at software fixing, so I might have skipped or missed a very basic step in the '10 things to try to fix Firefox'.

Moin, seit einigen Tagen startet Firefox bei Klick auf das Symbol in der Taskleiste nicht. Wenn ich mehrmals klicke erscheint Firefox soviele Male wie geklickt. Mein System: Win11 25H2. Kann jemand helfen?

Since the latest Firefox update, it hangs immediately at startup. Now it never works, while other browsers always work. This is a fully updated Windows 10 computer. Even when it does work, Firefox's special tabs - About, Close Firefox, Restore session - are often big trouble; and it seems possible one of these may be the problem now. When Firefox is working. it either closes slowly or not at all, bringing always problematic "Firefox is already running - Close Firefox" messages. When one Firefox window is closed, Firefox always keeps the window that is causing trouble in the first place. So, two things. 1) Firefox doesn't work at all. If you fix this problem with an update, the update must start immediately because clicking on "Download Update" too will be hung. 2) You have terribly problematic special tabs which I have named above. It is my opinion that you cannot fix them - you have to rebuild them from scratch - otherwise they would be working properly right now. I have fallen back on Microsoft Edge which always works. Firefox is never working. Think about it.

I’m still unable to access Newsmax articles in Firefox. I am getting this error:

“You don't have permission to access this resource on this server.”

Reference #18.d756268.1791195720.16bc0e errors.edgesuite.net

The important detail is that Newsmax works normally in Microsoft Edge on the same computer and the same internet connection, so this does not appear to be an IP or general connectivity problem. The problem appears to be specific to Firefox.

I contacted support yesterday but did not receive a response. Could you please have your technical team look into the Akamai/Firefox access denial associated with the reference number above?

After Firefox upgraded to the latest version, Google no longer opens up, bookmarked websites no longer have my username, password, or login account info, and do not recognize my account. Syncing caused all kinds of problems. I'm not happy with Firefox anymore and wish to remove it from my laptop . How do I do this? Sorry...I was once a happy camper. Barbara

да наведут порядок с браузером Firefox для ПК ,если не работаете то и извиняться не нужно...

i used to have "trimless" for my g-mail, which i loved, b/c i can't stand having to go to a totally different screen to read a whole e-mail if it's long. but with either windows 11, the latest firefox update, or the latest google update, my computer tells me that "trimless" won't work anymore. HELP! is there something equivalent i can install? thanks!

(if this should be in a different forum, please transfer it. thanks!)

additionally, i cannot use my mouse anymore to speed up scrolling through my favorites. also, i deleted a folder from my favorites, but that folder still shows up in my favorites.

Firefox is taking minutes to load tabs and once loaded it goes offline. It has been going offline for some time but it was only for short periods and I was blaming my router or internet connection but recently the offline periods have gone on for so long that Firefox is unusable and I have had to revert to another browser. There are no error messages other the "offline"

since i got windows 11, the scroll bars are so narrow that i can barely see them! i've widened them before in the registry (gasp!) but evidently that's not possible anymore. i'm not sure if it's because of the latest firefox update, windows 11, or google. i've seen references to winaero as a program that might help me do this. will it work? is it safe? thanks!

This just started on October 4, 2026, my home page normally has great news and other articles but now the page seems to be in a constant loading mode. Nothing is displayed.
