About a month ago I found that, when I clicked on Firefox browser, instead of the usual page with the default search engine duckduckgo coming up, a very plain page which just said "Search" appeared on screen with an address in the search bar which said something like "hp-search xxxxxxx". And when I entered the address I required it was clear that Yahoo was doing the search. I tried deleteing Mozilla from the Windows 10 control panel and then reinstalling it but each time I did this Firefox seemed to have been replaced by hp-searchxxxx and Yahoo. Eventually, after using an alternative uninstaller (Revo), I was able to remove and replace Mozilla with the genuine browser and search engine. I have a feeling it was when I added "Privacy Badger" or some other extension to Mozilla that the trouble occurred. Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, could they please tell me what I error I made?

Why can I no longer access my yahoo customized home page. And how can I create a new one, tho I'd rather not have to go thru all of that setup again. Hope you can help me retrieve it. Started yesterday I think.

Hi there! I'm a mostly happy user of Firefox on Android, except for one thing: Firefox seems to be bad at being content with cached data for offline reading.

I have a lot of tabs open, often in reader mode, which I like to bring up when I'm out and about. I frequently switch between browser and other apps. I also often use reader mode. Firefox has the unfortunate desire to reload a tab when I switch to it, even when there's no connectivity (i.e. I'm in the subway). This means I have to react quickly to the browser's loading attempt and cancel it, or the cached content will be dropped and I'll be told there is no connection (Duh, I don't care! Just show me the cache). Many other times though, tabs that were there in the cache won't open at all because Firefox will try to connect immediately... and fail. Did the cache get dropped or something?

Is there anything I can do about it?

I use Google and Firefox with newly installed Windows 11. Minimising a website I get the little Firefox icon in the bottom taskbar, but on opening a new website this closes and replaces the original one. I need to have several icons for different open sites which I can click on and move between as necessary. I can't work out how to do this.

I had to uninstalled FireFox because of googletagmanger.com. It was causing me problems with all my websites, favorites, and Proton Mail email.

I tried several times to uninstall and reinstall FireFox, but googletagmanger.com kept still showing until I deleted FireFox and stopped using it.

I only have one place where I can download the iOS FireFox browser app and that is from the Apple Store. If I tried to type it to get it from online, it takes me to the Apple Store. Some day I would like to go back and get the app but the googletagmanger.com would have to be removed.

I often open PDF links in Firefox. I can choose to open the PDF in a Firefox tab. If I leave the tab open and restart my computer, or look for that tab sometime in the future, I often see a page that says File not found (see picture). Somehow the page is being cleared out of the cache. Not sure if Firefox is doing this, Windows or some other program. Any ideas to keep these pages so I can see them in the future?

Where did the little + sign go on the right side of currently open tabs? I went to preferences and customize in the settings and it does not appear to be there. HELP! This is driving me crazy.
