I-Firefox Community Forum

A few updates ago, the way the the search engine icons/shortcuts worked in the search bar ui changed, and for the life of me can't figure out how the change it back.

The best way that I can explain it it when you click on an search icon/shortcut without typing something in, it would just take you too that search engines website homepage. It doesn't do that anymore and I would like to get that functionality back.

Any help would be appreciated, hopefully that explanation make sense.

I will attach a picture of the icon's/shortcuts of what I am talking about.

Thank you for your time. :-)

I know from visiting other forums that updates to Firefox have been released, but MSIX is not installing them - or even notifying me, much less asking if I want to install them. For example, Help > About Firefox shows that I am running V.129.0; yet I'm pretty sure that V.120.0.2 has been released.

Why? What can I do to ensure that I'm running the latest release?

I've restarted Firefox to see if that would work. It did not. I haven't rebooted to see if that works; but, even if it does, that seems to be a rather drastic effort to install a new version.

I cant get rid of this unsolicited "sign in with google" prompt which has cost me untold lost time having to type things over because it pops up when im looking at the keyboard while typing , getting noplace ! It is deliberate harassment !

I DO NOT HAVE ANY GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND WILL NEVER HAVE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT .

Therefore I can't sign in using any google account ! Why then do I get this trash ? All the recommended ways to shut it off don't work ! They all talk about going to google account settings ! As I've said , I do not have any google account ! Therefore I can't go to any settings ! I can't get rid of this unwanted harassment !

I want to get rid of this garbage and never want it to come back after any BS "updates"

My RoboForm Mozilla add-on stopped working and I tried to uninstall then reinstall the app. When I try to reinstall the extension, the following pop-up occurs: RoboForm Start Page has detected RoboForm browser extension but cannot connect with it. Please update RoboForm browser extension. How do I update the RoboForm browser extension? Thanks for any help you can provide to resolve this issue.

When I enter a site like Sephora, Menards, Ulta, and Target I either automatically get an Access Denied error or get one when I try to navigate from the home page. These websites also either won't let me log in to an account or will immediately kick me out of my account after logging in. I've tried everything I could find online and nothing has helped. I am on the latest Firefox software.

Here is an example of the error message: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.sephora.com/shop/makeup-cosmetics" on this server.

Hi there for 3 weeks I have been attempting to change my password. First Issue I login go to setting, change password, add old one, create new one and save. Logout of browser and restart, attempt to login using new password but no success. Use old password successful.

Second Issue Firefox is preventing the login to some of my systems by showing and invalid capture response.

URGENT PLEASE ASSIST

Push notification banner from YouTube stays on desktop without closing after 5 seconds. Why? Windows 10 never had this issue. With Windows 11, it worked after a clean install and then it stopped. Why? I checked all settings within Windows.

Settings / Accessibility / Visual effects (ON) / Dismiss Notification after this time amount (5 Seconds) / Notifications checked (ON).

The notification banner hangs and never closes. Google search tells us how to enable and disable. IT HAS NOTHING FOR CLOSING BANNER AFTER 5 SECONDS.

Firefox does not allow me to post comments on New York Post. The comment section says I must log in to post, but I am already logged in. I can log out and log back in again, but still not allowed to post as it says I need to log in. When I change browsers there is no difficulty posting after logging in. What setting on Firefox is preventing me from posting on NY Post?

I had a problem therefore I had to reinstall Firefox. When I reinstalled I had to login again and I did that with my usual Mail Address that I used for Firefox since years! But something was off... No Bookmarks, no backups nothing! I pressed sync to get the data because it didnt fetch it automatically but nothing happened either. I logged out and somehow after googling I found a way to login with google! (The option wasnt available anymore in the browser options WTF?! ) logged in and saw my profile picture etc I noticed this was my real account right there! Logged in and landed (at leat so it seemed in that new account that I described before which wasnt my real account, I synced nothing happened, all is fcked!) I lost my account so it seems with bookmarks that I gathered for years! ALL LOST.. Iam mad, frustraded, sad... and there doesnt seem to be any backup on my harddrive at least and my firefox account has been overwritten... Should I´ve been swapped earlier to google Chrome?! I really liked Firefox over these years... Iam so sad right now

Google is my default search engine in the address bar on firefox. When I search in the address bar, it just resets to the page that I am currently on and doesn't load the search. It does the same if I try typing 'google.com' or 'google.ca' but gmail.com seems to work fine.

If I type in a full website address for other sites (reddit, wikipedia, duckduckgo, etc) it works fine.

I deleted firefox all together and downloaded it fresh and reset to default settings. Right now I only have one extension and it's ublock origins. I've disabled ublock origins to see if that would help, and I'm still having problems.

The problem is inconsistent where sometimes if I type google.com it will take me there and other times even that won't work. Sometimes if I try changing the default search engine in settings and then switching it back to google, it will fix it for a few searches, but then I go back to having issues.

It just sort of keeps circling back to the same problem even if I can get it to work briefly. Re-opening firefox in safe mode clears the problem while it's in safe mode, but even with all extensions disabled, the problem keeps coming back when I'm not in safe mode.

Any ideas or fixes?

I've encountered this for years and it's upset me so much I'm sending you guys a message.

Here's what's happening: 1) I boot up Firefox (takes 2 seconds) 2) I quickly scan your stories (Some of your stories are interesting) takes 2 seconds 3) I click a bookmark then think "wait, i'm curious about that story" so i hit back 4) ALL OF THE STORIES ARE REFRESHED and the story is just completely gone

Happens every few weeks or so but it's so frustrating

I have a PC. Today, Bing took over my Firefox. I have to go through Bing to get Firefox. I don't want that. I just want to use Firefox.

Note that I use two web browsers. Google Chrome (default) and Mozilla Firefox. No others. I don't want Bing.

I purged Bing from Chrome by making Chrome my default, which it has been. I use Firefox some of the time. I don't want to get to Firefox by going through Bing. Microsoft has enough domination.

I cannot use google.com without first deleting my cookies. This happens every time I try to use google. Doesn't matter if I use the taskbar to search, or try to go to www.google.com
