I-Firefox Community Forum

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

I have just had to replace my PC following a bit of a disaster with my old one. The new PC has Windows 11. As usual I downloaded Firefox as I always use this. Somewhere in the installation of Firefox I must have been asked about blocking ads, but I don't remember. Now all ads are blocked, which I don't mind, but some sites are asking me to disable my ad-blocker if I want to use their site. Mostly I don't but there is one I need to use, so I would like to add that site as an exception, but I cannot find any mention of any ad-blocker in settings. Where do I find this? and how do I add exceptions?

The only add-on that I have in Firefox is the 'Privacy Badger' which could be the problem I suppose, but I can't see the website listed in the ones Privacy Badger is blocking.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello there, I just wanted to ask for any details regarding the new VPN feature. I seem to not have it (probably due to my region not being the US or the UK) and I was wondering, when can we expect it to be available to the rest of the world? How is it even free with this high limit? I know the feature is new and is probably still getting tested. But I would appreciate any and all info possible. Thank you!

I have selected the 4 rows for shortcuts on my tab and have installed all but the last 3 spaces in the end of the 4th row. There's no option whatsoever to continue to add those remaining 3 spaces. Any suggestions?

So far hate new Firefox that I have been forced to switch to - very annoying and such a waste of my time trying to sort out my bookmarks. May make me switch to Edge or something.

Followed the instructions - C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - found a backup but no information as to how to get the bookmarks into the new Firefox?????

Many of us are older users and perhaps not so savvy as to how to do this.

And so it would have been nice if Firefox could have been more "nice and be specific" with this forced change over.

Thank you

Hello,

For few days, it's impossible to connect to FACEBOOK. I have the latest version of FIREFOX, but I have to use another web browser (EDGE) to connect to FACEBOOK. The problem is the same with my two computers with the latest WINDOWS.

Thank you for your help to solve my problem

I was not given a VPN setup on restarting Firefox, and have no VPN icon in my toolbar. I have tried using customise toolbar, but there is no VPN icon to add back. Version 150.0, automatically opened to "What's New in Firefox 150" on starting Firefox, just without a new VPN icon. Thanks

When Firefox updated 149.0.2 to 150. Every time, I am watching video any site when I click the pop out button Firefox crashes and sends a report. I copied the text file from two of them(last one copied to share data). I do disk image backups and went back to before the update 149.0.2. Turned off auto update in setting and everything is ok now. Any suggestions?

bold text'bold text''''''''''bold text'bold text 'I much prefer firefox that i installed 2024, i found it much more friendly. Just installed firefox on my newer laptop which has windows 11. This newer firefox (new to me) says i am running windows 10. (version 151.0.1 64-bit) How do i change that, also how to do finish setup?? I have been doing my best to research you Q&A. Have not found much to be helpful regarding my issues. I am a fan of Firefox and would like to continue using it, and supporting Mozilla when I can. I am not that savvy so any help would be appreciated. Thank you, MJ

I keep getting a message that I have 255 characters but 280 are needed. Is this request even going to work, I certainly hope so.

I need some of your expert help if you please. It would be a huge help to me.

Thank you again.

Currently the built-in VPN operates via a blacklist system. Where it is turned on browser wide, with exception of sites you manually add to the blacklist where it will turn itself off when on those sites.

To preserve the allotted 50gb data limit for using the VPN, I would ideally need to turn the vpn off of every website that I don't need it to be on which is extremely tedious even if it's a one-time annoyance.

It would be better if instead(or in addition to) we had a whitelist option where we could have the VPN not be active browser wide, with exception of any site we add to the whitelist. I would much prefer this because there's only a handful of sites that I would need the VPN to be on.

After the latest update Facebook no longer works no matter what link i try to get onto it. It just shows the timer icon in the address bar but does not load.

Still works on Edge and my android phone so its something to do with the update.

Unfortunately the paste is broke once again, but differently! When I copy text from another website (e.g. Wikipedia articles or YouTube video titles) and try to paste the values only (ctrl + shift + v), nothing happens except for a little black box appears that says "paste." Doing a normal paste works and pasting (whether values or otherwise) within the google sheet works as well, only between sheets and another website.

Hi, I am using Firefox exclusively for my work Claude account, I only check my usage on it. Today, I noticed Firefox silently installed a webapp under $USER/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs, and it has a Claude webapp, which I neither click any install or add to my menu. I found it extremely concerning in terms of privacy, and I am wondering if any other people have similar experience.

I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today. I also had occasion to look at it briefly on my synchronised android phone. I would like to: - get my tabs back - find a way to stop this haappening (it's not the first time).

Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Richard

I am making another plea: how do I change the font size of the working bars in firefox? The Title BAR, the Menu BAR, the Tab BAR, etc. On my computer, they're minuscule, and I can't see them. I'm not a programmer, I don't know anything about code, so that limits the way things can be explained to me, or that I can understand. Several of you have been kind enough to suggest different solutions, but they all make things worse. I think I've screwed things up almost irreparably. I can barely recognize my browser any more. I've even tried to refresh Firefox, and that also made the situation worse. And now, every tab crashes constantly. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

No audio on Firefox. Google Chrome has sound. Settings at normal audio volumes. Tried computer shut off and re-boot. Tried reload of Firebox.but that didn't help. Had scam attempt just before no audio issue...not sure if that problem.
