Hi, the other day I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Long story short, I had to reinstall Windows 11 and all my apps, including Firefox. My visited links no longer change color. I tried the Settings / Language & Appearance / Manage Colors and nothing works. I did notice that if I click on a link, it changes color for a fraction of a second then reverts back. On a similar note, I use NoScript. I've noticed it looks different. Maybe a background grid. And Privacy Badger is missing the oval slider boxes and the colored selection tab has no color. I'm guessing this is all related somehow.

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Mozilla from the Windows 10 control panel and then reinstalling it but each time I did this Firefox seemed to have been replaced by hp-searchxxxx and Yahoo.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?

Hello, ever since the latest update on my Firefox account on my I-Mac whenever I try to watch videos on YouTube they start and you watch about 30 seconds of it then you get the white arrow circle. You have to click on the timeline just in front of where it stopped for the video to continue. The video will continue for about 20 seconds and then freeze again. Then you click in front of where it froze on the timeline and it will continue for another 20 seconds. I have stopped using my preferd web browser FireFox and now have to use Safari. Please help!

For the third time in a few months I have done an update and it breaks my Windows. My apps stop, my task bar disappears and becomes unavailable. I have to use Task Manager to either sign out and back in, restart Windows Explorer or re-boot the laptop. Then another update comes out and fixes that. But the inconvenience of having to shut down in the middle of a remote meeting is embarrassing to say the leas.

Come on guys. You are better than this - you are Mozilla not Microsoft - don't adopt their bad practices and procedures.

My hard drive recently crashed but I was able to recover all the c drive files. I found the firefox profiles and have copied the entire folder onto my desktop in the new windows 11 computer. I can't seem to sync those bookmarks and passwords to the firefox. I think I need to change the default profile but can't get that to happen. I have copied the profile from the crashed computer to the profiles folder on the new one. Please help guide me through the process.

Thanks very much.

Today facebook was not working properly, it said i need to update my browser to fix it. I had not updated firefox because each time it does so, there are issues. And it keeps updating too often. Now I was forced to update. But it also forced me to set up an account with mozilla. I did NOT want this. I am furious.

I am not happy with this. I do not want a mozilla account. I was happy as it was, just using it as a browser.

Hi, I am working on an extension which fetches my google calendar events and shows them nicely as graphs and summarizes the events. I need a CLIENT_ID in for getting an access token from google (OAuth2). I got one from my google cloud console but I don't think I should push that to the add-ons site.

I am quite new to this javascript/browser world and don't know where to go from here. It would be great if people can just download my add-on and just use it without providing a client ID and zipping it themselves. I asked this question on stack overflow and they marked it as off-topic :_).

So far I couldn't find any information related to this on the web.
