Firefox Community Forum

After Firefox updated on 11/1/2024, I completely lost all my bookmarks. Going thru the online tools/suggestions, I only see one profile and bookmark backups show only two files dated 11/1/2024 and 11/4/2024. Don't see any others prior to that. Perplexed why and how this particular update undid all this. I am missing something here or not looking in the right place? Some of these bookmarks go back a decade or more.

My Firefox 132.0.1 64-bit Windows 10 doesnt remember my settings, as e.g. home page. As soon I exit Firefox the old (default) settings come up (exept my search engine - that it remebers). I cannot find any "save settings" any where. Best regards RP

Hi every time I click on a link the tab does not show up automatically. So I need to go back to the browser manually to land on the page linked to the link I clicked on.

Firefox is set as default browser.

I've checked the setting and "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is flagged. I've tried to switch to Chrome as default browser and I do not have the same issue.

Please advise on how to fix this since it is very annoying.

Thank you

I wanted to create shortcuts on my new tab page.

I deleted the sponsor shortcuts one by one and now the three dot button disappeared. No matter what I try, I cannot figure out how to add shortcuts to the new tab page.

Could you help me? Do I need to reinstall Firefox?

I am trying to access the link "https://www.sorn.service.gov.uk/". This is the address of a click through from the webpage "https://www.gov.uk/make-a-sorn".

I keep getting this error:

"Secure Connection Failed

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

5th Nov 2024 Hi, Firfox has just (few hours ago) updated.. It has 'lost' ALL of my (several years of) PASSWORDS, BOOKMARKS and HISTORY I have tried the fixes given on the forum,. but there doesn't seem to be anything there to recover. And frankly the whole 'other profile' thing confused me.

Can anybody help please.. ?

Thank you Phil

My Logitech 1080 camera is working and recognized on Chrome and Edge. It is not recognized on Firefox, even though I have the settings allowing the camera on a list of sites, and have restarted it several times.. I can't find it on the connected devices list, etc. I HATE having to open Edge for every vidcon call!

I thought I just needed to sync my account ( three bars > user name > sync now) and sign out before resetting my computer. After doing so I thought by signing in it would recover my bookmarks and passwords, etc. I did NOT do the proper way: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices which I realized after performing the reset.

Am I completely SOL? Or is there a way to recover these - I really hope there is I had a lot of bookmarks.

Thank you for your time and support!

I have a MacMini M2 with the current Sonoma os. Firefox has been updated. Frustrating. Yet prime videos won't play and get this notice:

"Mozilla Firefox update required A later version of Mozilla Firefox is required for Prime Video. To update, click the menu button (three horizontal stripes) on the web browser toolbar, click Help, About Firefox, and then click Restart to update Firefox."

Been using firefox for years along with the web site partsbase.com

Now when I try to go to partsbase if last for a fraction of second and then gives me a blank screen. I works fine on chrome. Don't really want to switch to chrome but I have to be able to use this site to stay in business.

So I can open up Youtube no problem, scroll around and even hover over a video for the preview. However the moment I click on a video the tab will crash. I check if this was the case for other video streaming sites. HBO Max has the same issue while Amazon prime doesn't crash however has a message saying there is a problem with the video player. Now I checked if videos can work on another browser (Microsoft Edge), and there are no issues. I have cleared the cache, disabled extensions, checked for updates [update to date: 132.0.1 (64-bit)], restarted Firefox from troubleshooting mode, enabled autoplay, checked if videos work in private mode, updated my graphics card driver, and even checked if Firefox's volume is muted (its not).

Please can someone help me make this browser translate ALL THE TIME? Sadly I am not cultured and cannot read any other language other than English. I need a way to make the browser automatically translate all pages at all times to English without having to manually translate every page. Then I have to translate every individual link cause they for some reason aren't always included in the page translation. Please help me make Firefox translate to English 100% of the time or at least as close as possible to 100%.

microsoft update killed your audio with blocking asio.sys audio works with both chrome and edge, but blocking asio.sys killed your audio only. are you going to develop a fix for this, or do i abandon you for the other guys?

I have no idea why, but all of a sudden Twitch streams won't work on Firefox. It's only affecting Twitch because I can load YouTube and other streaming sites fine, and it's only on Firefox because it works fine on Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, disabling all add-ons and extensions, and restarting my device. Nothing works. The only indication that I have of what the issue might be is a message in the browser console that says this:

NetworkError: A network error occurred. addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

   <anonymous> blob:https://www.twitch.tv/addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

From what I can tell, the blob is where the browser loads the stream itself. Every stream I've tried to load gives me this error.

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by clearing the cache.
