Firefox Community Forum

In Gmail, when I try to attach a file, the Firefox upload window opens. It used to have a sidebar on the left (see picture from another computer) with a directory, including the option "Quick access." That is gone now, and I don't see any setting to restore it, not can I find any instructions online on how to restore that sidebar.

Hi community, I need to migrate my Firefox to another computer. On my old computer running Win11 H232 and Firefox 133.0.3 on the migrate help page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices I got the message "The setup assistant is currently unavailable for your version of Firefox".

On my new computer running Win11 H242 and exactly the same Firefox version, I have access to the backup assistant..

I do not need any help migrating Firefox. I just wonder if there is some setting/blocker somewhere activated or any other reason why the Setup Assistant does not work on my old machine.

hello team every day fire asks me to create new profiles to connect so that I often lose my bookmarks and browsing history despite having downloaded the latest version several times

Hi. Every time I close the browser my account gets disconnected. I have to log in again every time. This has been happening for several days. How to fix it? Greetings Wojciech

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?

So I'm getting the reset error code on only my twitch and YouTube tabs, now I have no add ons, I tried the cert9 file thing and that didn't work. I tried resetting my cache and that does not work for me, the issue is it's only for those 2 websites, everything else works just fine. I have tried a different profile that didn't work, I tried resetting Firefox and that didn't work, I tried resetting the router that also didn't work at all. I tried the troubleshooting firefox and same result, I'm in the original firefox, or rather not the troubleshoot one. I also tried signing out of my firefox account, that also did not work, and so I'm stuck on how I can get back my tabs that arent opening. Also I did try opening them as new tabs but they didnt work as well.

A recent update apparently causes FF to add ".htm" when saving a text file that has no extension. It didn't used to do this. The file being downloaded has no extension. It is a hash text file used to verify my ownership of a domain during SSL cert renewal. I can save without an extension if I delete the extension and surround the filename with quotes. But that is a pain. Other browsers don't require this. How do I get my old FF behavior back?

Currently: FF 133.0.3 (64-bit), Win10

I just discovered today that when I click on a YouTube short and select open in new tab there are two sound streams playing about 3 seconds out of sync. This happened on my work machine today and on my home machine. When I switch to the Chrome browser this did not happen.

I use linux mint older version, with firefox latest versions. A problem has been developing where after clicking a search link, a page pops up warning of possible phishing site. usually i clicked proceed and was taken to the website, but now am taken to a blank page or 404"cannot be found." Of course the page exists but i cannot get there. the url is a smartredirect.de... always. How do I get rid of this redirect app?

I have to use ctrl - many time to see everything on my screen. I promise, I didn't change anything, just updated. I'm not super literate about things like this and my IT husband has gone onto his next adventure. I'm hoping for a simple fix. Thanks.
