Firefox Community Forum

I have used Firefox before, and I want to confirm that what i could do in the past is now no longer possible. In the screenshot, you see in the "Home" section, you are able to pick what shows for your home page and new windows. Then you see What you can choose to happen on new tabs. I have set it to pull Google's home page. You used to be able to set the new tabs to whatever you wanted as well. However, you no longer can. Is this the way it is intended to work? If so, this should be rethought. No one wants to set their browser to open a new web page whenever they want to look something up, much less just in general to get to their home page. I understand and know that you can add the home button to the toolbar, but that creates an extra step.

Now if this was intended to be this way, where may I express my dissatisfaction with this option?

Hi. I was just looking at Google Photos on both Firefox and Chrome. Chrome had a bigger picture because the window had only the tabs bar and the address bar, and Firefox has an additional title bar. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the title bar so the picture on both browsers were the same size?

i stumbled on site actblue is sharing with 2 cross site cookies with websites i never allowed. i never look at the details because mac firefox "Standard" text implies never can have cross site tracking. (i find no exceptions in my profile and i would have never knowingly allowed any cross site tracking.) how can i quickly see which sites in my firefox currently allow cross site tracking?

Standard Balanced for protection and performance. Pages will load normally. Firefox blocks the following: Social media trackers Cross-site cookies in all windows Tracking content in Private Windows Cryptominers Fingerprinters Includes Total Cookie Protection, our most powerful privacy feature ever Total Cookie Protection contains cookies to the site you’re on, so trackers can’t use them to follow you between sites.

thank you!

It seems more and more websites refuse or deny FF as an acceptable browser. My bank, my electricity provider are just two examples.

Is this being addressed?

The mail.com login page does not function. It loads but all the tabs on the drop-down log-in menu are dead. At the same a long list of text tabs appears on the left side (superimposed over page in light blue print). These text tabs function, but there is no login option among them.

I have tried refreshing and opening a new tab, nothing works.

The page works fine on Bing.

The failure began in late July.

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.

I got a new Macbook Pro recently and set it up by basically copying my iMac onto it. All works great. Except that the MBP doesn't show up with it's synced open taps on my iMac or my iphone. The iMac doens't show up on the MBP either.

Have I maybe copied some setting that makes the two machines (iMAc and MBP) thinkt they're one and the same? How can I "separate" the devices so that they show up in each other's Synced Tabs lists, respectively?

I can not remove download window. I have gone into config and set to false, but as soon as I download something it resets to true. I absolutely hate and have always hated that thing. Any ideas??

Hi, I recently formatted my pc, and as I usually do, when I download the browser I enter my email which has all my bookmarks and favorites, the problem is that it does not synchronize the data I had with my account.

I have used about Sync, I have checked the profiles and deleted the places.sql file that is commented in other posts similar to my problem, I have checked the logs of the synchronization and it does not show any error.

I don't know what else to try, but I do know that the last time I did the same and entered my account to the browser (about 2 years ago) everything synchronized without any problem.

I hope you can give me a solution here, since Mozilla Support team does not take care of these "problems".

i cannot get firefox to open, tried to uninstall and reinstall and it locks up when i uninstall, it also locks up when i try to reinstall. i would like to get it removed from computer and fresh installation

I have a "new" computer and am trying to get my yahoo email. I use my usual login.yahoo.com. But I get an error message saying that I need to disable cookies to use firefox. This is not a problem on my old computer. Both computers are Lenovo Thinkpads, same year.

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]

all my tabs from open session disappeared?!?!?

and no way to restore it; the option disappeared and I never erased it or close any of the tabs manually and it was on sync. Where did they all go ? I can see now the history from my laptop mixed with my mobile under the history tab but the session disappeared?!?!

Firefox use to be EXCEPTIONAL and 2 years ago it star5ed to go downward; please convince me to stay loyal and not switch to brave or opera; this is becoming worst every months.

I did everything I found with ChatGpt and nothing works:(## Recovering Lost Tabs in Firefox Android

I understand that all your open tabs in Firefox Android have disappeared, even though they are synced. Don't worry, there are ways to restore them and reopen that session on your mobile device.

• • Here are the steps to recover your lost tabs:**

• • 1. Check Recently Closed Tabs:**

• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap the three dots menu in the top right corner.
• Select "History" from the menu.
• Choose "Recently Closed Tabs" from the History list.
• This will display a list of recently closed tabs. If you see the session you're looking for, tap on it to restore all the tabs.

• • 2. Use the "Restore Previous Session" Feature:**

• If the "Recently Closed Tabs" option doesn't work, try the "Restore Previous Session" feature.
• Open Firefox on your Android device.
• Tap and hold the "Home" button.
• A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Restore Previous Session".
• This will restore the last browsing session you had open, including all the tabs.

• • 3. Check Your Synced Devices:**

• If the above methods don't work, check if your lost tabs are open on another synced device.
• Open Firefox on your computer or another mobile device where you are logged in with the same Firefox account.
• Look for the lost tabs in the "History" or "Recently Closed Tabs" section.
• If you find them, you can open them on your Android device by syncing your browsing history.

• • 4. Contact Firefox Support:**

• If none of the above methods work, you can contact Firefox support for further assistance.
• You can reach them through their website: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/fix-problems/
• Explain your situation and they will try to help you recover your lost tabs.

• • Additional Tips:**

• To prevent this from happening again, consider enabling the "Open Tabs in Background" setting in Firefox. This will keep your tabs open even if you close the app.
• You can also set Firefox to automatically restore your previous session when you open the app.

• • I hope this helps you recover your lost tabs and reopen your session on your mobile device.**); is there a way im missing ?

Only thing that happened is that I restared my phone earlier?!

youtube always crash after sometime. i've 16Gb of ram, so it took sometime for me. but the crash is inevitable.

in the console, i saw some errors. mostly 401 and CORS to google ads domain. we all know that youtube is doing something shady to catch Adblock users.

no adblock, no extension, clean profile and incognito mode. it still happen. this problem is not unique to firefox, it happen to chrome too.

I recently graduated from Seton Hall University earlier this year, and released the laptop they gave me from their system to where I am the sole owner of it. I just converted to Firefox & Thunderbird, but for some reason Firefox automatically opens the Seton Hall website when I open Firefox. Microsoft Edge never did this, but I really don't to switch back to Edge. Does anyone know how I can stop Firefox from automatically opening the home page for my former school?
