Hi.

I live in China and use a VPN to access things like Facebook, Google and YouTube.

I now try to access it with Firefox with a proxy set up and with the VPN also and it doesn't work. Gives me a secure connection failure notice.

Please help if possible. I need to access Facebook for advertising and need to use these proxies.

Kind Regards

My phone number needs to be updated in Firefox. Is this something that I can do myself or do I need Firefox support for this? Whenever Firefox issues a text code, it's using the person's current phone number to provide that text code. My phone number has changed so it needs to be updated in Firefox.

My phone number has changed. How can it be updated in Firefox?

When I use the Google "Advanced Search" page in Firefox, and then click on one of the search results links to migrate to that page, I find that if I try to go back to the Google Search results page by clicking the back arrow in order to make some slight changes to what I originally had typed in, it has erased everything I had typed in, forcing me to type in all of my search terms all over again. What can I do to get it to retain the words I had typed in?

Where did the Show sidebars button go? I have a new computer set up with Windows 11 and that button along with the View history, saved bookmarks, and more button do not appear like they do on Firefox with Windows 10. Can you help getting those buttons, the Show sidebars button is really useful. Thanks, Glenn

Whenever I try to go to the USA version of USA Today, I am redirected to the EU USAT homepage. How do I stop Firefox allowing this geographical redirect to happen?

I wish I could give a specific example.

This occasionally occurs. An example is copying text from one site, and trying to paste in into a thread response field on another site.

But nothing happens. However, if I go directly from that page to my text editor, and paste it into there, no problem.

I then copy what I pasted in the text editor, and when i go back to that same page, it pastes into the field normally.

I imported bookmarks from Chrome. I used it for a long time, so I've got 600-some-odd bookmarks in a lot of subfolders. Nested folders are the only way I find what I need.

I followed this advice https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1366211 - I bookmarked the page. - I "edit bookmark," highlighting the parent folder that's visible on the bookmarks bar. - I click the right-most down arrow. That displays only directories visible on the bookmarks tool bar. - The right-most arrow operates as a toggle between showing the desired parent directory only all of the parent directories visible on the bookmarks tool bar.

In case it matters, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox this week, so it's up to date.

Several times over the past couple weeks, I click on a Google search result, look at the page, decide it's not exactly what I'm looking for and go to hit Back. Except it's grayed out! I click and hold on the back button and no history pops up!

Even stranger, when I go to History, the search is there! It's like the link not only opened in a new page, but closed the old one!! Is this Firefox doing this to me, or Google's nasty tracking links? Am I the only one?

Sorry, I know this is off topic, but I can't find how to edit a post after I posted it.

The usual way is you click on the three dots (upper right) and you get an EDIT option. All they do here is offer an option to QUOTE the post.

Also - while I have you: Posting links: I posted a couple LOCAL LINKS as I have a couple of threads and they appeared but when you clicked on them `404 - not found`.

When I scan the QR code shown on my computer with my phone and press the sync buttons, I get a message on my phone to; "Open the authentication app and enter the security code it provides."

I have no idea what this app is or where to find it to open it. Is it on my phone or my computer? Why can't you just show the code on my computer sync screen?

And, your help pages just repeat the same instruction verbiage as the sync app on my phone. No additional help at all!

In your reply to my previous question, I checked with the Bank... their tech people checked it is coming from the firefox Mozilla side of communications. Firefox is stopping the copying process on my browser. Keeps coming up Error- reset tab or close. Mozilla NEEDS to FIX this Problem immediately. It may be time to give up on Mozilla/FireFox. Been there for years, and now having several issues. Please advise?
