How can I remove Google as a search engine that appeared after having my computer checked for viruses etc? I want to restore duckduckgo as my primary search engine.

Firefox 129.0 (64bit) - Windows 10 (with current updates)

Sometimes (except when I'm demonstrating the problem of course) a Google search simply hangs. In the search field (next to the shield & lock) the website for the search appears, eg https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+secure+are+android+phones or https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nsw+service+parking+meter+app there is no other response and no activity in bottom left corner of the window.

Simply clearing history (history, cookies, cached files, but not site settings) fixes the problem and the search can then be repeated and new searches done until the next time, when it's a case of rinse & repeat. No other action is required, which would seem to suggest that the problem isn't elsewhere.

This problem affects both my wife's and my PC (same configs), and has for several weeks, sorry can't be more precise as to when it started.

Thanks, Mike

After i closed firefox with two windows it only restored the wrong tab and because most of the tabs were open some time ago i cant restore it from history too. Can i somehow restore them?

Topic as above.

can't access the browser with all my settings - some will need reverification codes if I can't access - any advice please thanks Rob

error message platform version 129.0 is not compatable with mini Version 128.0.3 what does this mean? Thanks

Hello. Since re-installing ZoneAlarm Security Suite (due to a ZA problem) last evening, after I turned on my pc today I am getting a new tab opens up on every FireFox browser window seeking permissions for "Harmony Web Protection Privacy Policy". (There are four new tabs for that which have opened since I commenced typing this!).

Is this a ZA problem or a Firefox problem? Also, please, how do I get rid of these damned new tabs? TIA.

With Firefox 129.0 for Windows (64-bit), I am unable to log into one of my banking sites. It always says invalid username/password. It works fine with Microsoft Edge, and another computer still on 128.0.3, and their phone app.

I have tried the normal stuff of clearing cookies and cache, safe mode, etc... No change.

Unless someone has a similar card that uses a similar login, may be hard to test, but this is the login link: https://auth.securebanklogin.com/?brand=card

Hi there,

My copy of Firefox in Windows auto-updated yesterday and wiped out all of my bookmarks. Is there any way that I can retrieve these? I apparently wasn't running the browser logged in, and I had no backup.

Thanks.

Firefox doesn't reach many websites. Most notably my banks. It times out. It says the website is not available. I've tried updating the website URL. I've cleared cookies. I've been able reach these websites with Microsoft Edge. I downloaded an updated version of Firefox. What can I do?

I use a CRM program called Nutshell for email marketing. For the past 2 years, it has worked perfectly in Firefox. As of 2 days ago, images no longer show up in the marketing emails. The same thing is happening in Firefox on both my Windows machine and my Mac. Nutshell told me to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but that didn't help. If I use the "Refresh Firefox" command, the images show up but only briefly, then they're gone again.

I can use Chrome instead of Firefox and everything works, but I would prefer not to. Any suggestions?

I just noticed after an update today that the Mobile menu entry (with bookmarks from my mobile Firefox instances) no longer appears in the browser's Bookmarks menu. I can access them from the bookmark manager, but this change seems extraordinarily stupid and arbitrary and is a definite step backwards.
