Hi, Is it possible to restore history for all years, not just last months? I mean, I need history for my browsing in 2022, but I can restore it just for last months.

Best regards Todor Todorov

Firefox is set to the English (UK) language on my Windows 10 PC but I occasionally see Spanish words shown after the English word. Eg. BBC News provides trusted World and UK noticias news as well as local and regional … The word (in this case "noticias" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. Here's another example "BBC Business brings you the latest in Business news and cobertura from … Again word (in this case "cobertura" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. I've tried all the settings that I can find in Firefox and everything is set to UK English.

I'm really shocked that the developers at Firefox has not at all fixed the memory leak issue, which caused my PC to crash three times in a row. This is clearly unacceptable; even other browsers I use don't eat up a lot of RAM in a matter of seconds that ends up my PC lagging, or worse, crashing as a result. To the Firefox devs; why are you overlooking an ongoing issue that should've been easily fixed from the get-go, especially with updates that obviously have nothing to do with the memory leak issue? It's really easy to make such a popular browser not hog up memory so easily without causing so much lag, even on higher end PCs.

If the memory leak issue isn't fully resolved by greatly reducing memory usage, especially if I'm only using one or two tabs with me, I will have to consider seeking for another working browser that does not have a memory leak issue, and remove Firefox and never reinstall it altogether.

Got a bit of an issue. There seems to be a change to functionality of Mozilla's Firefox browser and its affected one of my extensions; Lastpass.

Previously, clicking the jigsaw icon for extensions would show extensions such as Lastpass. If I click this now, it takes me to the extensions page for managing extensions.

I had previously had lastpass installed. But it seemed to disappear without me uninstalling it. This isn't the first time where there has been an update to Firefox and the plugin extensions has been broken so I downloaded the Lastpass extension and installed it again. It now appears in my extensions page. However, there doesnt appear to be any way for me to access it. Log into to it. Nor do websites get the autofill I would expect from Lastpass. So I have no access to its functionality.

I cant seem to find a way to get around this.

I feel that the extension icon (jigsaw icon) has now had its navigation changed during an update where it no longer points to where it should when you click it.

To access Lastpass, I can log in through the Lastpass website but this fiddly and time consuming. Can anyone suggest how I can get The Lastpass icon to appear in the top right of the window or to get it as an option that would drop down where I would normally expect it; by clicking the extension icon in the top right?

Clicking it is currently taking me to the "Personalise Your Firefox" page in the main browser window.

Thanks

With Yahoo (and other sites) suddenly every single time I am required to use the "authenticator app" routine. I've gone for months or even years with persistent sign-ins before. What happened? How do I get back?

It's like I'm in private mode - but I'm not in private mode.

Starting just yesterday, and I have no clue what caused this to happen in the first place, my entire firefox browser, so tabs, toolbar, everything, is no longer functioning properly with the windows scale display settings I have anymore. For example, I have 2 monitors, one is a 1920x1080 monitor with 100% scaling applied, and the other one (my main monitor) is a 2560x1440 monitor with 125% scaling applied. I have the scaling settings applied like this because the normal resolution for 2k monitors is too small for me to read anything, so scaling it up by 125% makes the browser about identical on both monitors. It used to automatically scale the firefox browser to the monitor whenever I dragged them to the other monitor, but now the firefox just stays at 125% zoom no matter what monitor I swap it to (this is windows scaling zoom, not firefox tab zoom). So on my 2k monitor, it looks fine, but on my 1920x1080 monitor, it still retains the 125% zoom from my other monitor, making it way over zoomed. I've tried changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx but that just makes the browser scaling static across monitors, so I've since swapped it back to -1.0

Is there any way I can fix this? the difference in scaling between the monitors is way too massive to be able to use firefox comfortably. Attached I have two screenshots showing the difference in scaling.

Hi!

I've been browsing the web looking for a way to access the browser's current profile name programmatically. I'm writing a little browser extension that should run code conditionally depending on what the current profile is. I'm wondering if there's any way to do this? The closest thing I found was runtime.getBrowserInfo() runtime.getBrowserInfo().

Cannot load Etrade website sign-in only. Removed the etrade cookies and it worked, but then after closing tab could not access again. Checked cookies and there was none for etrade. All other links work just fine

Lately I have been having trouble signing into websites, including the website I administer. When trying to put in my user name or password, I get a message saying: Something's gone wrong. Please try again later." I do try later, and the same thing happens. However, I have no trouble signing into these sites on Opera.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have been using Pocket for FF on my Windows 10 desktop for a long time. Recently, I am no longer able to view my SAVED articles. Surprisingly, I can view the ARCHIVED articles, but when I click on SAVES it says," Oops, something went wrong" Same problem on Chrome desktop. But my Android phone allows me to see my SAVES. Any idea?? I sign into Pocket with my FF account.

google apps block pops up in upper right corner of gmail each time I change focus without selecting it

I have cleared cache and history. Still pops up. This happened after the last update to Firefox.
