An unwanted bookmarks toolbar appears above the URL field, as shown in the image.

After all the bookmark shortcuts it contains are closed, and FF is restarted, the marks reappear.

How can they be purged permanently?

The enter key only works for a short time in the search bar. Then it stops working, meaning I have to constantly restart. It's not any of my extensions. What is the problem? Is there any solution? Otherwise, Firefox is unusable for me.

Hello,

I am encountering an issue with my website (https://cxfileexplorerapk.net/12-best-file-explorers-for-android/) when accessed through Mozilla Firefox. Specifically, I am seeing an error message that says, "An error occurred," and it is affecting the functionality of [describe the specific feature or page affected, e.g., automated workflows, forms, etc...

I have tried clearing the browser’s cache and cookies, disabling extensions, and ensuring that Firefox is up to date, but the problem persists.

Could you please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue or let me know if there are any known compatibility issues with Firefox? Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, [Alexis]

Dear Madams and Sirs,

i hope you can help me.

As a (web ) developer (and fan of Firefox) I use Firefox every day and i restart the browser serveral times a day.

I use a Dell U3417W as an external display (widescreen, notebook display is deactivated if i use the external display) under windows 10 & 11 and i want Firefox at the right half side of the Screen (using windows + right or manuel positioning/resizing of the Firefox window).

At start of Firefox, first it will fit the right side of the screen without any offset (last saved position from xulstore.json) - only for a very short moment. Immediately after the start the window will automatically repositioned to an offset of appox. 5px from the right/button position (see attached screen). Then i have to use windows + right or mouse drag to the right border of the screen to get the right position again.

At next start of Firefox the Firefox window is at the same offset position again.

I searched the web for serveral ours to find a solution: I tried to Refresh Firefox, delete xulstore.json, i have only the standard dark theme active (FF 128.03 and earlier versions, now in win11, win10 the same), tried the fingerprint.. = false approach, nothing works.

Firefox is the only application with this behavier. Chrome, Edge i.e. does not have the kind of shifting...

Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin

Hello, there are several emails in my subaccounts that are no gone and I cannot find them anywhere. As there are a lot of confirming emails about holiday bookings I would be glad to get them back. All of my emails, that I put in presonal subaccounts before July 11th are no longer available. Thank you for answering. Yours Ulrike

Recently I opened a website that had redirected me to some random site, I closed the tab immediately but now I keep getting spam notifications saying I may have a virus or various things from the site. I've tried to silence the site, I've ran security tests on my computer and they say it's fine, I just don't know how to silence the website or wipe it from my computer.

I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

I am trying to use the Bing homepage for their daily images. When I open Fire Fox, the Bing homepage comes up but has a news popup along the bottom of the screen. I have unchecked the option for the "news and interests" from the 3 bar menu on the upper right and it goes away. But, when I open Firefox again, the news popup comes back up. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? This did not used to happen before I had to reinstall Firefox due to problems I was having. Thanks for any help.

When opening Firefox, the window shows a white screen indefinitely, and the cursor shows loading whenever it is held above it. During this period, the desktop and taskbar of my computer freeze completely. There are no reactions to hovering my mouse over taskbar icons, clicking anywhere results in a loading cursor, and other windows are no longer usable either. This carries over through multiple desktops and monitor extensions. This is resolved with a couple presses of the Windows key on my keyboard, which after a couple of seconds, turns the entire screen black apart from the Firefox window and reloads the desktop and taskbar. Doing this makes them usable again, but when attempting to close, click and drag, or manage tabs on the window, all tabs on the window freeze, as well as the desktop and taskbar once again. This can be resolved with the Windows key just as before, but it is disruptive to general computer workflow. What's more, certain other application windows open on the screen, including the file explorer, will close between refreshes, making work with multiple windows more difficult.

I am running Firefox 128.0.3 (64 bit) on a Windows 11 computer. This issue began yesterday (August 2, 2024), but it supposedly fixed itself that afternoon and came back this morning. I run Firefox with automatic updates, so I am unsure if this correlates with a software update. Removing the add-ons I used did not resolve the issue, and I use three extensions that were downloaded months ago with zero detrimental effects. I have data for bookmarks and favorites transferred from my Google Chrome browser, which I've dropped in favor of Firefox roughly 6 months ago with no issues.

I have already tried Mozilla's recommended troubleshooting methods in order to resolve this issue permanently. I have restarted my computer multiple times. I cleared my browser history, cookies, and data, uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, and refreshed Firefox from the troubleshooting information page. All to no effect.

There were 2 firefox showing in my pc . So i uninstalled them. But now when i am trying to open a pdf it showing firefox as an option although firefox is not installed. screenshot attached . Can anyone tell me what to do?

Hi!

I have several problems with firefox lately. I loved it and I have it for years. It kept all my passwords, more than 100. A few days ago firefox totally crashed on my side, it did not want to start any site, while on the same computer other browsers stated them. After I realized this I deleted the firefox and uploaded again. Now it works almost for all site (but for example not for booking) but I lost almost all my passwords:( I have now just 23 but lost many many. How can I get them back?

Many thanks: Emese

I recently learned Windows 10 support is going to stop in October 2025. I converted my Windows 10 to Windows 11 a little too early. The options I had was to 'keep everything I have' or manually select what I wanted to keep. Obviously I wanted to keep everything that I have so I selected to keep everything I have.

Windows 11 did a number on my computer. I think it fried my dual band bluetooth usb adapter, deleted saved email messages that included important passwords, and deleted all of my bookmarks that I had when I was using Windows 10 in one swoop.

For the past three days I've been trying to get what I had in Windows 10 back to Windows 11. I was able to replace some things but I seem to can't replace my old bookmarks. It has my job's link on there. I can't access my job through their horrible app but I can access my job online and no longer can do that. Even my history for the past month is gone. I thought I could access both my job points from there but it seems like the day I converted to Windows 11 deleted crucial things. Everything else is there.

Is there a way that I could retrieve my old bookmarks? I did the restore option but it only have 2 days which is the day I converted my computer but as I said, some things magically disappeared and I need those items back.
