I-Firefox Community Forum

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

I just upgraded my Dell desktop from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Virtually all software works fine, and I can sign into Yahoo / ATT email using MS Edge, but when I attempt to sign into Yahoo email via Firefox, sign-in fails and says "something has gone wrong". I am stuck. Any suggestions on how to fix this bug??

bold textPasswords and Sign In

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

hello, i have a huge issue with my firefox and i cant seem to fix it or somehow understand the cause why my tabs sometimes browser crashes unexpectedly and sometimes i get a blue screen on my laptop. maybe there is a problem with my pc but it doesnt change the fact why firefox tabs are crashing really often this is one of my latest crash reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/3721bbdd-5f3a-4b02-bd0d-60c1e0250208

I just installed the MozillaVPN extension on my Windows10 laptop but can't use it because when I select the tool, it tells me to download and install Mozilla VPN - which is already running ! I've tried closing and re-strarting Firefox, and stopping & starting the VPN manually, but that doesn't make any difference.

PLEASE use my default location. I just set it. It is correct: CORALVILLE, IA

PLEASE DO NOT USE CELL TOWER LOCATIONS OR ANY TOWER LOCATIONS FOR ME. THEY ARE WRONG!!!

I am NOT located where the cell towers are. They place me all over Eastern Iowa. That's WRONG! I am NOT in Cedar Rapids. NOT in Marion, IA. NOT in Davenport, IA. NOT in Tipton or Decorah. NOT in Illinois!

THE ONLY PLACE I AM (with my computer) IS WHAT I SET IN MY DEFAULT LOCATION: CORALVILLE, IA 52241 I'm not even in Iowa City, although it is near.

It would be great if one could choose which sources are used for one's location. Is that possible? I don't want information sent to me about locations where I am NOT living and never have lived there. I hope you can understand what an annoyance it is, year after year, always to be located in the wrong place. I wouldn't care if some websites knew my location if it was the correct location.

For the past few weeks Firefox has been crashing and freezing often. Crashes are worst when trying to access Protonmail, which almost always crashes the tab instantly. Freezes happen most often when browsing Reddit, and also when watching Youtube, but crashes and freezes can happen on almost any website.

I have tried changing profiles, refreshing and uninstalling/reinstalling, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse over time.

Here are some recent crash reports:

Will be grateful if someone can help me get to the bottom of this Thanks

google search said this is Firefox intertnet speedtest app or extension but the actual descriptions says it's not monitored?? does firefox have a secure internet speedtest? why are these blank?? We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system

is this support or forum??

I don't have any idea who is the owner of 'solitity.co.in', but these pop ups are annoying and know that I click on any of the options - I will be in trouble for other things these pop ups can do to my computer.

I would like to know exactly who is the party for this virus or adware were able to get it on my computer.

I would like some simple instructions on how to delete this spam from my computer.

I'm very frustrated with FF. It's running slow. Downloads are slow etc. I've tried everything that FF has recommended up to and including "refresh" with no effect. It's getting to the point I'm considering not using FF. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Trying to sign up for Mozilla Monitor. It wants my City and State but doesn't recognize it when I type it in so I can't use the Monitor. My address is a "city" of only 1,600 people and apparently too small to be in their data bank. What do I do?

Also my email has now changed. Don't know how to change it but they didn't ask for it for monitor. Confused here. (Okay, I'm 78 and though I have a 90s Multimedia Degree things just change too fast for me to keep up.)

emails have to go to: [edited] @pm.me

Lost Bookmarks after Microsoft upgrade(?) Since I'm using the latest version of Windows I don't know what to call what happened that came by way of Microsoft. So far as I know, I'm the only one reporting this. It would seem that if this was a change initiated by Microsoft it should have affected millions of users.

I'm using Firefox 135.0 on a MacBook Pro with a large external monitor.

The menu bar at the top of the screen (NOT the Firefox window) has "Firefox, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Windows, Help".

When I click on "History", it shows me the most recent 15 pages I visited. Always 15. I'd like to increase that number, as 15 is inconveniently few and uses less than half my screen height. However, I can't find a preference for it either under "Settings" or in "about:config".

I know that there are at least two ways to get to a more extensive history list, but they need more clicks.

So is there a way to change 15 into a larger number?

Thanks. Brendan.

does Firefox no longer support sites like The Guardian, like the Atlantic, other news outlets. it never lets me sign in but returns to the home page after signing in with email and password. What do I do?

I posted the following on facebook yesterday, I feel as if something changed in my Firefox settings as this only started about 2 months ago. 2 factor Authentication is shut off in facebook. "Can anyone tell me how to shut this off? Everytime I log onto FB from my computer I get this screen. 2-factor authorization wants to send a code to my cell phone. There's got to be a way to turn it off. I am using Windows 11 pro with Firefox as a browser."

Any thoughts?

Today Firefox crashed twice and a Tab crashed once! What's going on with Firefox? It's especially disurbing to have it crash during a long video and then you have to find where you left off.
