Firefox Community Forum

my hard drive got fried, i thought firefox would save my browser data if i was logged on so i thought my passwords and bookmarks would be saved but it isn't and i have no other backup other than +4 years old chrome ones and nothing is up to date there obviously so now i'm panicking

Firefox will not start up after latest update earlier this week. Troubleshoot mode or refresh does not work either. Clearing caches, restarting does not work either. Worked great before latest update.

The Bookmarks toolbar changed after yesterday's firefox update: The toolbar as you can see from the below screen grab, shows blanks with the original title, but URLs have disappeared and are neither editable or useable i.e. cannot be deleted. Google, the BBC link and the one for my central heating have gone! Not only on my workstation but also on a brand new Dell notebook. Please advise me a.s.a.p. or notify me and probably others . Thank you

Even though I have reinstalled Firefox twice, and each time set it as my default browser, every time Iog on to Windows I am presented with a screen asking me to set Firefox as my default browser. It is listed as my default browser in : (1) in the browser itself under Settings, and in (2) Windows Settings / Default Apps. How can I get rid of this reminder screen every time I log into my computer?

The search bar covers the bookmarks bar when hovering over the top on Mac. It needs to be so both the search bar and bookmarks bar move down when you hover over the main menu settings in Mac.

I'm facing an extremely bizarre issue in Firefox 134 for Mac. After trying "Increased Protection" DoH mode once, I have google.com working only under this "Increased Protection" now. It no longer works under "Default Protection" or "Off". It's exactly the same in the Troubleshoot Mode and in private windows.

If I type google.com in the address bar, or if I search for anything (regardless if it's in the address bar or the search bar), absolutely nothing happens now. If I'm on a new tab, it stays empty. If I'm on an existing tab, it just stays open on whatever website I'm at. For example, I can try accessing google.com right from here as I'm typing this, and nothing will happen, I will just stay on this page. The only visible activity is that the current website's icon (at the left of the tab) changes to the loading animation for a few seconds and then permanently changes to the hourglass icon. That's it.

Any local google domains, such as google.ca, DO load. Any google.com subdomains, such as mail.google.com, also DO load. It's exclusive to google.com. When typing dig google.com in my system's Terminal, it successfully resolves. Moreover, it also successfully resolves in Firefox's own DNS Lookup Tool (located at about:networking#dnslookuptool). What I'm seeing is Google's IP address 142.250.190.46.

Now, I have google.com working in absolutely all other browsers, it also seems to resolve through the terminal, as mentioned previously, but it no longer opens directly in Firefox, unless I enable "Increased Protection" again. As soon as I disable it and return to either "Default Protection" or "Off", google.com (and it alone) immediately stops loading.

Have I uncovered a hidden bug? I'm really depressed right now, because "Increased Protection" messed with certain websites and so I decided to disable it upon finding out, but unfortunately at the cost of Google Search not working anymore. Do I really have to use other browsers to use Google Search now? And what kind of witchcraft is it? I really don't understand what's going on.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer.

I have 2 extensions active in FireFox: Bitwarden & FireFox Relay.

However, I do not see a setting to pin these to the tob menu bar, for easy access.

I have no problems getting to the settings for the extensions, just no way to access their actual use (as I normally have in Chrome or Safari).

Please advise how this would work in Mac OS X 15.2 FireFox version 134.0 (aarch 64)

You managed to change my password for accessing AMAZON to a very long password that has never worked so far for the last two months! So, I have been denied a site I use to use regularly and you still deny a human to ask for help, only your jog-related jargon!

I would hate to sue you but AMAZON may help me when they hear what you've done to me, and perhaps hundreds of other former customers.

So, help me get back to AMAZON today!

For the last few days I am unable to access my yahoo email I have been using easily for YEARS. Now i am asked to verify my yahoo email w google and google will not accept the password for google that I have used for years. I am asked to create another google password. I do not want to use troublesome google. Help me out of this mess. I need to use my yahoo email.
