I recently updated Firefox and have lost my passwords and bookmarks. i have visited the many pages to instruct how to go to a previous profile, but have been unsuccessful as I cannot locate some of the folders in the instructions.

Please advise.

Hello Firefox, Firefox freezing when viewing image collections and YouTube videos. Firefox on my two laptops is set to automatically update. Caches are frequently cleared and no History kept. Ghostery is connected but says it does not stop content.

An image collection website (Pinterest) frequently sends me emails (Thunderbird) with links to their collections. Thunderbird connects over Firefox. After approximately 10-15 minutes of viewing, the screen freezes. Although the cursor moves it will not select any closing of the webpage etc. Release is only possible with the Task Manager (Control+Alt+Delete) but it is very slow to obtain. The same is true when viewing YouTube videos directly over Firefox. Again it requires the Task Manager to release everything. This situation has been evident for about two months now. However this snag does not occur if I go over Google Chrome to both websites. I will welcome any suggestions since I am not keen to move to Google Chrome. Any query, please advise details. Kind regards, Tim Simpson

I use userChrome.css and userContent.css to (1) turn unvisited links bright red, and (2) turn visited links bright purple, and (3) add underlines to all links.

This works well on light backgrounds, makes links easy to see and easy to distinguish from other text, but makes them harder to see on pages with dark backgrounds.

Is there a way to vary the link color to improve contrast? I can't use the default colors because most sites use blue links which are hard to distinguish from black text.

DRM add-on seems broken after update. Obviously this renders ALL the streaming sites I pay for useless. How do I fix it? The people who make the plug-in won't talk to end users and anyway I got it to work after DL-ing another browser (Opera). I like FF but their unwanted updates only seem to cause problems and take away features I like. Is there any way short of moving to another browser that can fix this? All my streaming DRM sites I pay for seem to be broken now. I have brand a new Win11 Asus ROG Strix 17 that had been working fine until last night when I made the mistake of updating FF. As noted, a refresh didn't help. Frankly this is insane, and I'm finally done with FF unless someone comes up with a fix for this.

Hello, I recently installed a fresh FF 115.0.2 (after years of importing my old profile). I noticed a really nice feature, when double clicking a word, a search bubble would open with 4 icons (google, google maps, wikipedia and something else) and you could click one of them and it would open a new tab and search for the selected text.

Today I noticed it is missed. I didn't upgrade FF, I didn't install any new add-on and I didn't even close FF since the last time it worked.

Any ideas how to get it back? And how to add other providers to this very nice feature?

Thanks

I use Cozi.com for recipes, and I always used to run it in firefox, but in the latest version 115.0.2 For Ubuntu linux, it does not allow me to edit entries, or even add new ones, I can add a blank field, but when I type in it, no letters appear.

I am now using the application on Opera until you get this fixed.

I can log into my firefox account, but I am still blocked from logging into https://addons.mozilla.org/ who do I contact? Is this a ban? Is this an AWS geoblock?

I've tried clearing cache, fresh firefox log out from my Firefox account, still nothing

I have Mac 10.12.6 on an "early 2009" 27" iMac. I'm waiting for the new 27/32inch iMac until I upgrade hardware and operating system. The release notes with FF V115 say in part " Users on those operating systems will be migrated to the ESR 115 version of Firefox."

I want to clarify that when I update to FF 116, FF will automatically install the ESR version, or will I need to do this manually? Also, will this update take a long time, like FF will be installing a totally new (ESR) version, rather than "just" the usual update?

If you have multiple tabs open and you hit Ctrl-T to open a new one, it opens it at the end of the tabs, and the cursor focus moves to the URL bar so you can start typing in an address/search.

If you right-click on any of those tabs, it opens a new tab to the right of that tab, instead of at the end (which is what I want, as right-clicking on a specific one to open a new tab, to me, means you are linking those tabs in layout and want them together) BUT the cursor focus DOES NOT move to the URL bar.

This seems pretty counter-intuitive, and means that so many times I right-click, Open New Tab, and start typing a URL and then see that I have to stop typing, click in the URL bar, and start typing all over again.

Is there an about:config to force the focus to the URL bar, or is this a bug? If there's no setting for this, I would definitely consider this a bug because you have 2 different behaviors for New Tabs.

In Firefox-Mac, I used to be able to save webpages as PDFs without page breaks as one long page (sometimes 120 inches), depending on the page. The newer version it doesn't work. Now I have to use Safari (!) for this. This is a useful feature for proofreading, where page breaks often break up or omit entire sentences.

Win 10, updated to 2023-07, on a Win 11-capable HP laptop. After a Win Update a couple of months ago (when Edge went all AI-Bing), the Firefox icon had disappeared from the taskbar. I can open FF from the start menu or the desktop shortcut, and I can pin FF to the taskbar from either, by dragging or right-clicking, but as soon as I close FF, the icon is removed from the taskbar. This doesn't happen with Edge, MS365 or WMP, or with HP's scanner software icon. The icons remain on the taskbar, but FF is removed automatically when it is closed. What am I doing wrong?

On the new tab, the box around the shortcuts and the search bar stay dark grey. I've messed around with all the advanced color options on firefox color, but nothing seems to affect it. It bothers me since I changed the background color.

Hello. I regularly read a scientific site that often uses Greek characters. Most of them are replaced by a square in FF as well as some mathematical symbols. The issue doesn't happen with Safari hence the said characters are not missing in the System. I uploaded one screenshot taken with Firefox and one with Safari. The page it's taken on is https://www.ca-se-passe-la-haut.fr/2023/01/mesure-du-taux-dune-reaction-cle-du.html. When the issue is too annoying I switch to Safari but my main browser has always been FF so it's bothering. Is there any remedy? TIA Best regards Nick

I updated Firefox on July 1, 2023 and the dark mode stopped working. I used to be able to have all website and pages dark, I've been looking for a solution or work around with no luck. Any forum questions that I've read has all sounded like a "canned" answer with no results. The questions asked were never answered, and it's been very frustrating. I have glaucoma and have great problems looking at a white screen. Even this page is bright white and hard to read and I'm unable to change it to dark. I've been hoping to see an update solving this problem but there hasn't been one. Please send me a real resolution for this problem. Thank you

I am a UK user and have just installed and started to use Firefox on a brand new Linux Mint installation. As I am transferring from a Windows/Chrome environment, there is a lot of setting up to do. Firefox transferred most of the chrome info for me, and so I was able to get up and running with bookmarks and logins quite quickly. However, there is one problem that I can't seem to resolve.

I have been able to set up my credit card details, and these are prompted when needed, BUT, Firefox will not remember my name, email, phone or address. Thus for every form that I have to fill, I have to enter these details, again and again (and again).

I have looked at settings and see that the 'Autofill Address' option is not present (see attachment).

I have followed and implemented the fix proposed elsewhere, to update/add GB as an address format. This has not made a difference.

Can anyone please help.

Regards,

Mark

secure connection failed issue. Happens with 3 different browsers but only on one computer. Access is not an issue on 3 other computers on the same network or my phone which is also running Firefox.

i set my youtube and twitter to dark cuz who the hell uses white background these days. also im changing the languange at youtube to hebrew.

the next day i go to the sites it reset to defualt again. im still log in tho. didn't try in other browsers but i don't think its site specific problem cuz it happens in both sites.

Introduction This issue has been happening since the day before yesterday. As said in the title, I can't hear audio on any websites. This is a problem for me as I use services like Google Meet very frequently. It's a real pain for the other people using the website as I can't hear them, so that means they have to use the chat to communicate with me. However, I can hear audio in other apps and sites work perfectly otherwise.

What have I done so far? I tried refreshing Firefox via the installer twice. Even then the issue was not fixed. Then I decided to delete the files and reinstall via the installer in hopes of the issue being fixed. Even then it was not fixed. I was almost going to post here when I decided to go into preferences and check. As it turned out, it was set to block audio but allow video for all websites. I changed it to allow video, and it was fixed (at least for yesterday.

If it was fixed yesterday, what happened today? I did not change any settings so far. I checked the configuration which says it does allow audio and video. I have provided some debug information as well as some pictures. I hope it helps you help me.
