When restoring previous session on launch - only 3 pinned tabs are restored and other tabs out of order

content:
<p>This has been happening for the last several Firefox updates, and it's an incredibly frustrating issue that makes me not want to ever exit the browser or update it.  I'm not sure when or why exactly it started happening, but I believe it was after an update at least 3+ months ago. </p><p>For some reason, when the browser opens from having been closed due to restart or update etc, and it restores my prior browsing session - it only ever restores 3 pinned tab as pinned.   For some reason, it's always specifically just 3 tabs, and it's usually whatever the first 3 pinned tabs were.  I always have at least 10 pinned tabs open due to the nature of my job.  The tabs that are no longer pinned are restored in what looks like a random order, mixed in with my other tabs.  Also, other tabs that weren't pinned, are restored out of order.  This makes it difficult to find a tab and get it back to the order it should be in. </p><p>I always just have a single window open.  There are many tabs open as I work with a lot of cloud software at the same time.   </p><p>i have tried starting a whole new session from scratch, even uninstalling and reinstalling the browser.  Doesn't seem to help, the issue returns on every launch. This looks like a bug to me, but I didn't find anything on it. </p>

<p>Subject says it all. "How to revert to 'browser.tabs.ontop=false' functionality in Firefox 89.x?" I hate the Proton layout where tabs are now positioned at the top. I want to revert to what I had before — via an add-on, I think — because the new style creates  visual dissonance. I HATE the new style. I want a layout that does not do my head in. I do not care that someone(s) in the development team thinks tabs.ontop is better; it is not better for me. </p>

<p>I'm trying to develop a simple addon using the Sessions API, so I wanted to play around with it a bit in the Browser Toolbox. I have set  <b>devtools.chrome.enabled</b>  to true and pressed  <b>Ctrl+Shift+J</b>  to open the browser console. I'm able to run some JS (example:  <b>console.log("Hello world!")</b>  works as expected), but when I try to run something like  <b>sessions.getRecentlyClosed()</b>, I get the following error message:  </p> <pre> Uncaught ReferenceError: sessions is not defined     &lt;anonymous&gt; debugger eval code:1     getEvalResult resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:243     evalWithDebugger resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:167     evaluateJS resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:1119     evaluateJSAsync resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:1011     makeInfallible resource://devtools/shared/ThreadSafeDevToolsUtils.js:103 </pre> <p><br> I tried  <b>browser.sessions.getRecentlyClosed()</b>  with the same error message about "browser.sessions" not being defined. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it, or how to correctly import the Sessions API if that's what's needed? </p><p>Thanks! </p>

Firefox 89 text is hard to read on desktop. E.g. menu text size is much smaller, thinner while there extra space between lines so it actually takes more space.  Can we change the font size or thickness and reduce the space padding between the lines?

<p>Used to be that when I opened the FireFox browser in my PC it opened up on the screen. Now all of a sudden it opens in a small window in the upper left corner. then I click on the icon to expand it and it moves to the upper right corner, still small window.  click on the icon again and it them opens up filling the window. This is more than annoying. Is there a fix for it? If not I will need to switch browsers to Chrome which seems to work better. </p><p>I am not interested in syncing with my only other device (phone) so I hope that's not the solution. How do I turn off the sync reminders? </p><p>I also find it frustrating that there does not appear to be any tech support direct from Mozilla or FireFox A.J. </p>

<p>I am facing a strange issue where the Browser doesn't load the website for a minute and shows server error. However, this behavior is not specific to any website and the server error shows randomly. Sometimes the browser loads the website normally while other times it shows server error. Please check this screencast: <a href="https://jmp.sh/jEu4D9k" rel="nofollow">https://jmp.sh/jEu4D9k</a> to understand better. So, I initially tried to open <a href="http://calendly.com" rel="nofollow">calendly.com</a> and it didn't load despite my multiple reload attempts. However, when I tried to reload it after a minute then it came to life. </p><p>I have been facing this issue for many months and I tried almost every solution I found on Mozilla community pages like Resetting Mozilla, Setting No Proxy, Turning Off IPv6, DNS Prefetching Changes, Turning On/Off hardware acceleration, Uninstalled Mozilla and Installed a fresh copy, Changed to Mozilla Developer Edition, etc. but no luck. Please note that the other browsers are working fine and don't have any issues. </p>

<p>I can't seem to install vsn 89.  I have vsn 87.0 currently and Netflix won't run without an upgrade.  Also, Amazon Prime requires Widevine, which requires a FF upgrade, so I need to upgrade.  The best I have been able to do is download the tar file and run Extract on it.  According to the file viewer, the latest version of FF is loaded, but when I run the program, it's still v. 87, not 89.  The simplest method given is to open the 'About Mozilla Firefox' window and the downloader will run.  But there is no downloader running when I do that.  I would really appreciate it if someone would supply instructions that actually work. </p><p>BTW: I've looked for them, and I don't find the 'required' library items.  But if these are truly required and I don't have them, how has FF been running at all these past months?  I concluded that either they are installed but I couldn't find them, or they aren't really required at all.  I've also tried Flatpack and it doesn't work either. </p>

title: What defines the threshold for setting font size/rendering scheme on OS scaling factor change?
tags: linux;desktop;customize;firefox-890;
product: firefox
topic: customize
locale: en-US
creator: mozilla242
content:
<p>Firefox seems to have some threshold to leap to a larger font or a different font rendering scheme when adjusting the (Font) Scaling Factor in Ubuntu Tweaks. Nothing happens in Firefox windows until the Scaling Factor reaches 1.25 (125%) and then it jumps to render larger fonts everywhere. (next jump at 1.4) See the screenshots for the difference. What is this threshold? What is the actual parameter Firefox reacts to? Can I control it manually within Firefox?  </p><p>This question has a rather convoluted background: I have replaced my 2560x1600 monitor with the 3840x1600 monitor and suddenly all Firefox windows render super ugly. It's not that they just look smaller due to to the smaller PPI but rather their font shape causes my eyes to tear. Previously the sensation was very soft. I do not know what that is but it seems it's not just the size. Could it be Firefox is using some information from the monitor that brings it to a sub-optimal font rendering/hinting/antialiasing behavior? </p><p>Increasing (Font) Scaling Factor to 1.25 via "Ubuntu (Gnome) Tweaks" app makes the fonts look acceptable again. Ubuntu Scaling Factor obviously also changes the size of other windows and their fonts. So I would rather keep the Scaling at 100% and just make sure the fonts are rendered in Firefox as before with the old monitor. I.e. I would like to remove this quality regression.  The fonts can be controlled via Firefox properties but as expected this either increases all font sizes or doesn't work for proprietary fonts supplied by web pages (min font size). There should be a better solution than tweaking each font individually.   The fact that the fonts are suddenly rendered acceptably again after the Scaling Factor reaches 1.25 makes me think that there may be some threshold in Firefox that makes it use different rendering scheme, mechanism or such. After 1.25 nothing happens until Scaling Factor reaches 1.4, then the font increases again. So can I just make Firefox render fonts as when scaling is at 1.25 but with the actual scaling factor at 1.0? </p><p>Apart from the overall size/resolution the monitors (old Samsung 305T vs. new Dell u3821dw) have different pixel pitch 0.2505 mm, PPI 101 (old) vs. 0.22908 and PPI 110,87 (new). Can this this be the root cause of the ugly fonts? So is there maybe a different parameter or setting to tell Firefox to render fonts regardless the higher PPI or lower pixel pitch? </p><p>I would expect everything to look just a bit smaller due to a smaller pixel pitch, but instead the fonts are rendered completely different and I can't find the setting that would fix that.  </p><p>Just FYI I have been playing with these settings: Firefox: - Default Zoom 120% - Check Zoom Text Only - Minimal font size - layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 1 - gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_max_size 100 Ubuntu: - Scaling Factor - System Fonts </p><p>I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 using Firefox 89.0 Ubuntu canonical-1.0 . </p>

But In colors the Background is evidently set to white but it's actually black.

<p>Today I switched from Chrome to Firefox. Since I have two monitors one common thing I do is opening a new tab and then dragging it (the tab not the window) to my second monitor. But when I do this firefox freezes and the only I can do is stopping firefox via Tasmanager and starting it again. I also tried it in debug mode and the same thing happened. I can replicate 100% of the time. </p>

<p>After a crash, or even after shutting down the computer without closing all Firefox windows, Firefox will restore all the windows and tabs from the last session on restarting Firefox.  </p><p>There can be many reasons why this may not be preferred behaviour for many users: Sometimes Firefox or the computer crashes because too many windows and tabs are open (and other applications running), killing Firefox may be a measure against malicious pages trying to hijack the browser, discarded pages after shutdown do not need to be restored, ... </p><p>So is there a way to make Firefox immediately ask whether to restore the session, like it already does after the second crash?

<p>Hi All, I use Get Pocket - a lot! Before the last couple updates the normal bookmark icon - would click on that and there would be a link to Get Pocket list. That has now disappeared. The only way I can find to see the list, is click on the "save to pocket" icon, whereby it then saves the page I am on, although I don't want to save the page, and it also has a link to view the list. So have to click on that, then delete the page just saved.   All so ridiculous. I must be missing something here.  The update before this, was the same and I reverted back to an older version of Firefox. Thought would try this latest update, but no ... the pocket list link inside the bookmarks icon is not there. </p><p>How can I get to view pocket list without having to first save the page I am on, then delete it? What am I missing. I attach three images. One of how I used to use the Get Pocket list .. i.e. using the bookmark icon. Then what the book mark icon shows now .. no pocket list ... and the only way I have found to view the list, but saving a page first :) ..... Thanks for any advice. </p>

<p>I have used Firefox for years and never had any issues like this. Less than a week ago, my computer started crashing any time I used Firefox. I'd get a BSOD with the error "dcp_watchdog_violation." I reinstalled Windows 10 and when I tried to reinstall Firefox 64-bit, it immediately caused the exact same BSOD during the installation. I have fairly meticulously checked my hardware drivers and they are all up to date. I suspect Firefox recently was updated because the layout looks different and it gave me a new notification about DNS routing that I hadn't seen before. I have installed the 32-bit version and it seems to avoid the problem for the most part (I still get it occasionally, but at least not every time I run Firefox). I found <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1206828" rel="nofollow">a thread detailing solutions</a>, but I think it's unacceptable that I should have to run 32-bit or safe mode when literally nothing has changed about my hardware setup and 64-bit has run fine on this computer for over two years. I have been a Firefox user for over ten years and recommend it to others when asked. Hopefully there is a solution to this problem because I don't want to have to switch to Chrome or Edge. </p>

<p>I have discovered through extensive testing and a lack of technical support from Kasperky, how to get Safe Money to work correctly when using Firefox. </p><p>If you are using Edge or Chrome you don't need to install the Kaspersky Protection extension and whether you are opening 1 website in a protected browser or more, Safe Money will work correctly. </p><p>There is a unique situation with Firefox and if you are opening 1 website in a protected browser without installing the Kaspersky Protection extension, Safe Money will work correctly. </p><p>However, if you try to open another website in a protected browser at the same time, you will get an error as follows: </p><p>"Run error Protected Browser is already running. Use Protected Browser to open the page. Website: <a href="https://www.xxx.com.au/" rel="nofollow">https://www.xxx.com.au/</a>" </p><p>To get Safe Money to work correctly and open more than 1 website at the same time in a protected browser, you need to install the Kaspersky Protection extension on the Protected Browser only. You don't need to install it on the normal browser. </p><p>This will then allow you to open multiple websites in a protected browser at the same time without the Run error. </p><p>Maybe this is something that the developers could look into as it is strange that this happens only in Firefox, yet Edge and Chrome don't have any issues! </p><p>I am currently running KIS 2021 Version 21.3.10.391(b) and Firefox 89.0 (64-bit). </p><p>I hope this is of use to some users out there. </p>

I would like to reset it back to that. I have tried to change it via Preferences but it didn't work. Thanks for any help. Trekker. </p>

<p>For the 5th time now an update has moved my tabs to the top. And congrats guys, this latest update deleted all my bookmarks and my logins. If this version is to win back "defectors" I really doubt you will. You're getting worse rather than better. So anyway, I have read many solutions on the forums and none have worked. Can someone please send me the code I need to put into userchrome.css that will get my tabs back below the address bar. And if you want to get more users, why not add an option in the menu for tab placement?!? How many browsers require the users to know code for something as simple as that? Or maybe the other browsers don't allow for tabs below. If that's the case I suppose I should be grateful. lol. Thanks either way. </p>

<p>Hi, </p><p>I have been suffering since some time display problems with Firefox. When I have the computer fresh restarted and firefox open firefox usually works well for the first 2-4 minutes. After that, it starts hidding some characters of the text in a website or on the Tabs name (see image attached). Apart from that, some images start displaying on green (see image attached also). That happens also with pre-view of youtube, so sometimes I go into youtube and  I see a bunch of green rectangles to choose with titles with hidden letters. It gets worse and worse and somtimes it makes the navigation in internet impossible. When I restart firefox it gets a few better (like time travel 5 minutes ago) but at some point I have to use other browser or re-start the computer.  I uninstalled and installed again firefox and it helped for longer time (maybe some hours) but then it starts again. I used the option "restore firefox" ("restablecer firefox" in spanish) that is avaliable in "about:support" and it also helped a little, but after a couple of hours it is happening again. Do you know why can this happen? If I cannot find a solution I will have to change my browser and I like so much firefox. Thanks in advance </p>

<p>Hiya, I use bookmarks to keep a track of music I plan to listen to, and I had set up my folders so I could see everything in a subfolder on my screen. Now the font size or something changed and I can't see everything all at once on my screen. I don't have the time or energy right now to even think about trying to reorganise it all. Is there a way I can lower the font size or something to get back the space I lost? </p>

<p>Settings are checked to clear cache and cookies however the cache rarely clears - the cookies will clear upon selection of the "clear data" in FF preferences but only the cookies actually clear.  This is with version 89.0.  Previously everything cleared with one click.  I now have to clear the cache manually - with another click to the cache specifically even though it is checked to clear along with the cookies.  Is this a bug?   </p><p>Please advise as to why this is happening and how to correct it so cache and cookies obey the settings in preferences.  Thank you! </p>

<p>It looks like I lost my former connection.  My issue is the loss of some functionality using FireFox post June 5, 2021 in Yahoo email and Googlesheets.  In the former there is a loss of activities/options, including the ability to <strong>block senders</strong> and the inability to bring up contact groups for selection. I could do both earlier and can still do so in Edge and on Chrome. In Googlesheets there is a loss of functionality is the ability to change colors of text and "fill". There is also a change in the structure in the ribbons for performing activities. Again I can still do as previously in Edge and on Chrome.  I do not seem to be able to load my screen shots and would appreciate your help. </p>

<p>Hi, </p><p>I am writing with hopes to use Apple's Voice Control accessibility feature with Firefox on MacOS. </p><p>Due to some repetitive injuries of the past, I find it painful to use a mouse and keyboard. Apple's Voice Control feature has been quite helpful for me to manage my pain. While it works fine on Safari, it unfortunately does not work on Firefox. In particular, I'm referring to the "show numbers" command. In Safari (and most other apps/UIs) Voice Control will display an assigned number to every clickable link/field/menu-item. Upon voicing the desired number, Voice Control will select that link/field/menu-item. Firefox does not function in this way. </p><p>I am wondering if this is something Apple will need to address, if it's a feature that Mozilla will need to implement, or if there is a fix some great wizard can share with me! I do very much prefer Firefox over Safari. </p><p>Kind regards, </p>

<p>Attached is a screenshot of what I saw early 6/9 when I opened Firefox. I had about 40 tabs open at the time, none of which seemed to be hogging power or memory. At first I had some apps running (you can see which ones in the task bar), and then closed most of those apps but all the other tabs had the same issue. I restarted, and just as soon as I clicked "Restart", Windows crashed and said "...have run into an unexpected error". Don't remember if there was an error code (I don't think so). After the check and restart, a new version of Firefox launched and seems to be working currently. </p><p>Any guesses as to why this happened? </p>

<p>Latest update installed and lo and behold, once again Mozilla screwed it up. I now have one tab on the bottom of the page instead of many in a toolbar at the top of the page. Mozilla continues to ignore users' complaints about tab location preferences and other tab functionality and arbitrarily making decisions which for most people make no sense. This latest iteration of Firefox (89.0) is for me the last straw. I will no longer humor Mozilla by spending countless frustrating hours correcting your obvious lack of programming skills by attempting to return my browser to what it was prior to another faulty update. My patience has finally run out. Before I leave Mozilla and Firefox, one last comment. Because the Mozilla support forum relies on amateurs and volunteers to answer users questions, and since I have had trouble getting workable solutions to my problems, I tried to send feedback directly to Mozilla. That was a monumental task which I was not up to, obviously, which is why I'm here. Whatever good there is in Firefox is far out weighed by the lack of programming skills, beta testing, quality control, etc. prior to forcing out updates to it's users. Like many recent users I have decided to forego further use of the Firefox browser which is unreliable from a development team which does not seem to care. I am beginning to wonder if the continuing screw ups are being deliberately caused by embedded saboteurs from Google or Microsoft! </p>

Is there any way to get rid of the topmost "tab" - they ARE NOT tabs - bar? I really liked the previous tabs that LOOKED LIKE TABS and DID NOT TAKE UP MORE ROOM on the page. Can I go back to the previous version? This one is really bad. Like, REALLY bad. Firefox "developers" need to give an option to check out the new update before committing to it. </p>

However, i still have not found how to fairly easily move the tabs below the URL address bar (e.g. without modifying code, hacks, etc).   Firefox developers, please provide the functionality in Firefox to do this.  Thanks! </p>

<p>Hi, Not sure if I found a bug. The Bookmarks bar i set to show on new tabs, but doesn't show when I open a new tab (ctrl-T). However, if I open a new window (ctrl-N) it will show... Very strange. </p><p>What's even more strange is that it works fine on my workstation (Windows 10 v. 20H2) but not on my laptop (Windows 10 v. 1909) </p><p>Firefox versions on both systems is 89.0 x64 and they are both fresh installs. </p><p>Not sure if the import from Chrome messed something up. I did have some bookmarks imported from the bookmark bar in Chrome on my laptop but had none to import on my workstation. </p>

<p>I found the exact thread that discusses this issue, but of course comments are closed.  So this is what I need.  I need the colors from the previous browser.  This new one blows and I have good eyes.  But I agree with everyone who said to return the colors to what we've used for the past however many years (10+?) on Firefox.  Also I need: </p><pre>the tab bar redesign =&gt; change floating buttons back to connected tabs </pre> <p><strong>the tab bar redesign =&gt; restore lines between the inactive/background tabs</strong> the theme =&gt; restore dark background behind tabs  </p><p>I need this to happen without expecting me to mess around with code.  I just need this to be restored.  I need a fix that isn't prefaced by "not sure how long this will work."  I need to not spend anymore time on this experimenting with random "custom" colors that just aren't right, because I can't remember exactly what it used to look like.  I didn't have this info in my brain because I didn't know I would need it.  The new themes are crap and hard on the eyes.  I need Firefox to restore the "classic" option as a simple theme one can select.  ARGH. </p>

<p>I’ve seen other posts on this problem and seen different solutions, some of which I’m not understanding, and some of which seem relevant to a particular problem not similar to mine. </p><p>I am using FF 89.0 64 bit on Win10 machine.  Many times, when I restart Windows, especially if there has been a FF update, several things happen.  One, which always happens, is that FF “forgets” that it is already the default browser. Two, which happens often, is my setting for “Ask to save logins and passwords for websites” gets changed to “no.”  But occasionally, and this is the reason I’m writing, is clicks on external links open a new window, rather than a new tab (and this time, it’s always a small window which won’t respond to alt spacebar X to maximize it). I’ve checked about:config (don’t remember what page) per another web search, and confirmed that FF is set to open a new tab for internal links and to do the same for external links as is done for internal links. I’ve gone to about profiles and it shows three profiles, two of which say they are in use, so apparently the click on the internal link is opening a new profile.  (I don’t care about profiles; I tried them once for some reason I no longer remember and it didn’t work so I don’t care about profiles). So can anyone guide me on what I need to do?  The default profile has “beta” in it, but this was a long time ago. The “easiest” thing might be getting rid of all my profiles but I don’t know how to do that, and I certainly don’t want to have FF forget all my passwords, etc.   I greatly appreciate any help I can get. </p>

In the case of selecting the yahoo icon on the Firefox new tab page, the URL does not even show up in the URL space.

<p>I updated to ver 89.0. After update the tabs all changed to non-descipt grey with no outlining and the menu bar lost its blue colour which allows me to see the active window for any processes running on my setup. I often have multiple Firefox windows open at once. All other windows behave as before i.e. the active window shows a blue menu bar while all others are off-white. It is just Firefox that has changed. </p><p>I don't use Windows Themes but use WinAero to tweak the defaults. </p><p>How can I get Firefox to show the active window with a blue menu bar, as before, and the non-active Firefox windows can be any other colour but preferably the same as other inactive windows? This is a typical time waster update that I had thought Firefox was free from unlike Windows. If this can't be fixed I will need to consider whether I use an other browser that doesn't foul up a useful feature that saves me time - I have been with Firefox for more years than I can remember. Another annoyance is having to make yet another registration just to ask a question! </p>

Add-ons don't show up in the tool bar or tool bar customization menu (yes they are all enabled and have been turned on and off again)

<p>so for a while now, I don't know exactly but it has lasted throughout several updates, a bunch of my add-ons have decided to not show up in any menu where I can actually use them, they are listen in the actual add-ons manager and they are all enabled and up-to-date. I have un- and reinstalled all of the absentees several times over, I have done the reset thingy in the tool bar customization menu and have followed just about every piece of advice for similar issues on this forum and many others yet the majority of my add-ons still choose to feign non-existence. if it's helpful at all the culprit that alerted me to the problem was the YouTube Enhancer but it actually extends retroactively to add-ons I had installed way before that one that used to work fine. Also, and I can't say this with 100% certainty, I think at this point this problem applies to every new add-on I install, obviously I have only really seen it happen with the few add-ons I installed since this whole thing started so who knows if I'm just having bad luck picking add-ons that are shy. I have also disabled and re-enabled the add-ons that actually work and generally shifted everything around I case the 4 working add-ons are somehow blocking the all the others from being shown. I really really hope someone can help me with this because it's kind of frustrating being completely unable to actually use the majority of my add-ons :/ </p>

Když v nastavení Firefoxu změním barvu na černou a nastavím Vždy, barva písma je černá, ale grafika všech stránek je změněná (např.místo šedých oken jsou bílá s černým rámečkem, atp.) Jak nastavit barvu písma, abych neovlivnil grafiku všech oken? Díky, Mirek </p>

<p>Yesterday Firefox updated itself to what I presume is the latest version which frankly is awful. The tabs along the top are very difficult to read being grey on white. Before my menu bar at the top and the tabs were different colours. Is there any way I can get it back to the way it was. I find this latest version awful and am seriously thinking of using a different browser </p>

He probado entrar en "safe mode" del navegador y el problema no aparece, por lo que supongo que es alguna otra cosa.  Según la ayuda de Firefox podrían ser complementos o temas, los cuales también probé desactivarlos y no funciona. </p><p>Alguien puede ayudarme?

I've tried changing them in Start... settings and checking the box for start and tabs but that's grey'ed out.  I've tried doing it in settings.. themes in firefox.   I looked at Chrome and it's dark blue which was my original firefox colour. I'm not sure why they changed it to grey.  I cant see anything and it's hurting my eyes. I can move over to Chrome and try to import all my bookmarks etc, but before I do, can anyone tell me is there a way to change the grey back to blue? If there is, is there any way to stop them doing this again? Thank you, I so appreciate anyone's help with this. </p>

<p>I've been using global mouse gestures to control firefox externally via marionette, and I found that after upgrading from 87 to 88, many pages don't log in properly (like google). So I stopped updating. Recently I started to feel anxious and I looked for the reason. I found that it was because the "dom.webdriver.enabled" parameter was removed, from here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67323487/selenium-w-firefox-88-changes-to-navigator-webdriver" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67323487/selenium-w-firefox-88-changes-to-navigator-webdriver</a> </p><p>I would like to ask for a follow-up solution after this parameter has been removed. Is there a new parameter to replace it? Is there another way to fix it and make the page login properly? Or does mozilla consider it normal to not be able to log in and forbid the use of marionette invisibly? </p><p>I would like to know the exact answer, thanks. </p>

I'm not sure since which update it stopped working between pc browsers. When i sending tab to smartphone, it still works, but when i'm sending from desktoop browser to another desktop browser, it says "Sent" but other browser never recieves it. At some point i've found article where it was mentioned that it might not work because of proxies set in both of my desktop browsers (i can't find it now to post the link). If proxies is to blame, is there a way to fix this? Maybe exclude specific address in proxy settings? If not, what migth be the reason? </p><p>Any advice is appreciated. </p>

<p>I am using Firefox on Linux (Ubuntu 20.10) to work from home over OpenVPN. Recently the VPN configuration was changed to use split tunneling to improve our internet connection. Since then I have had several DNS resolving issues in Firefox. </p><p>We use an on premise DNS server as an alternative to `localhost` domain names so we can access other developers' environments and so a few services can do the same. Our URL structure is like projectname.[optional personal identifier.]localhost.[type].nl. Without the [optional personal identifier], or when nothing is configured for it, the ip address is 127.0.0.1. </p><p>In Linux' OpenVPN configuration I have "Use this connection only for resource on its network" enabled for IPv4 and IPv6 is disabled (to benefit from split tunneling). With that enabled Firefox usually fails to resolve such development hostnames. </p><p>- As far as I know I do not have DoH enabled (and the about:networking log further down tells so too). - I do have `dnsmasq` enabled (with configuration for the above domain formats to route to 127.0.0.1 also) in an attempt to fix some issues before the split tunneling was configured correctly. And in an attempt to try and get Firefox to handle these DNS resolving issues. - `dig` on the command line for the same domain works just fine. - Adding hostnames to /etc/hosts works. But that's becoming a chore, working on dozens of projects over months. </p><p>Why is Firefox failing to resolve such domain names? Should I just create a Bugzilla issue? </p><p>I created a log with about:networking set to `timestamp,nsHostResolver:5`: </p><p>[Parent 5337: Main Thread]: I/Logger Flushing old log files 2021-06-09 07:42:58.009170 UTC - [Parent 5337: Socket Thread]: D/nsHostResolver Resolving host [<a href="http://somedomain.localhost.type.nl" rel="nofollow">somedomain.localhost.type.nl</a>]&lt;^partitionKey=%28http%<a href="http://2Ctype.nl" rel="nofollow">2Ctype.nl</a>%29&gt; - bypassing cache type 0.

<p>New theme is absolutely not contrasting. The font merges with the background, no separators are visible between the elements, although the tabs opposite are separated from the page. And a huge number of other annoying little things. You suggest choosing a different theme, but there are the same problems and an additional annoying background pattern. </p><p>Please make it possible to return to the classic theme and stop changing the interface and familiar controls. I am shaking from every update notification, because i expect everything will break again. </p><p>I also advise you to read reviews on news sites dedicated to this update. Many people unhappy with these changes. </p><p>I found a partial solution (about: config -&gt; browser.proton.enabled -&gt; FALSE ) problem, but as it became known, it will soon stop working. </p><p>I understand that FireFox a free product and I would shut up, but it upsets me that the tool that I have been using almost all my life has gone bad. And second, and even worse, the Internet is increasingly dominated by Chrome, remaining without competition. </p>

<p>I've followed the advice in all the threads I can find from the last three years about how to handle a situation where you cannot use "restore previous session" in history.  </p><p>As of approximately 7am this morning my computer was fine, I closed the lid (to let it sleep) while I was at work etc, but found that my laptop had restarted when I went to wake it up tonight around 8pm. It appears as though at 7:47 there was a crash of some sort.  </p><p>It doesn't look like a "sessionstore.jsonlz4 " was created, and when I try to see previous versions of literally anything in "(c:) &gt; users &gt; [my info] &gt; app data &gt; roaming &gt; Mozilla &gt; Firefox &gt; Profiles" ALL are without one despite the folder properties showing a "created" date that fits with when I created a firefox account two -ish years ago.  </p><p>Every folder in the second profile (which shows that it was created today) is empty. </p><p>Has anyone else heard of an update overwriting all history like this? I had a, frankly, problematic number of tabs open (across three windows, each with a different general theme, ie general stuff in window a, weird hobby in window b, and A Lot of tabs for a personal project that I mostly didn't have bookmarked in window C), and have never had anything remotely like this happen before. </p><p>Is this a hopeless cause? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?????  </p><p>Any advice would be appreciated. The tabs lost in my "personal project research" window represent about six months of weekends worth of effort and I'm so upset about it that I can barely articulate how stupid I feel for having passively allowed this to happen because I was tired last night when I got home from work and ignored the "update" prompt in the top right corner (normally I make sure to save my session and update, but I thought "eh, I'll do it tomorrow when I get home from work").  </p><p>Things I've used as references:  <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1233159" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1233159</a> <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204253" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204253</a> <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1332732" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1332732</a> <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles</a> <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291348" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291348</a> <a href="https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html</a> </p>

Don't you care about your own users? This is absurdly allogical behavior of the interface!

<p>I noticed an issue since I updated to Firefox 89. Usually, when I right-click anywhere on the page to bring up a context menu and then decide I don't want to use any of the options on it, I can click on the page and the context menu disappears. Now, though, they don't go away unless I hit escape. I tried Firefox with the proton options enabled and disabled and in safe mode and regular mode and without any css personalization and it is the same regardless. Is this a bug? I'm on Windows 10 laptop. </p>

<p>Firefox's onboard spellchecker needs to go back to college, or probably high school!  Every day I have several words with the dotted underline, telling me they're not words, or not spelled correctly. However, when checking the dictionary, I confirm that the spell-check feature is wrong, and I am correct!  I don't want to disable it completely, as it does let me know when I've made a typo, which I can quickly correct, but it's a pain in the butt to keep having it say something's wrong with a word, and there's not...  I honestly can't believe it can be that hard to use a source that's accurate, when it's something on everyone's screen that uses Firefox... </p>

I've tried troubleshoot mode, verifying browser file integrity, turning hardware acceleration off, and using older versions of Firefox and the issue seems to persist no matter what I do, I happen to really like this browser and I really want to try and find a solution for these issues. I am always running the latest version of Firefox (90b5) and use windows 8.1. When recording some of my performance data it seems the issue uses all the power my CPU (i-5 6600k) is able to offer. I don't know how to fix this and would really appreciate any help, thank you in advance. </p><p>If it helps: https://share.firefox.dev/3pzodOU </p>

Takes hours to correct, if at all what these fools do to my routine online after their stupid updates.  These fools must expect that everyone is a qualified proffessional who has plenty of time to fix this update mess. Its not the case FYI Firefox staff.

<p>I know this is an obscure question but it would save time typing it all in each time. </p><p>I would like to create a windows shortcut to launch the profile manager like so: </p><p>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -profilemanager" - but it says "the name specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the filename and path are correct." It works fine without the -profilemanager part. </p><p>Maybe it would have to be a batch file I'm not sure. </p>

<p>I've lost <em>all</em> my history prior to the current date. I think yesterday too, I only had the days history and nothing else. This may have started with the new firefox update, but I'm not sure, I wasn't paying attention. It's not in my settings to delete history every time I close firefox. All my bookmarks are still there, its just a problem with my browsing history. It seems like the "recently closed tabs" keeps better track of the days history than my actual history tab. I'll probably lose todays history tomorrow. Not sure why this is happening~~ help </p>

<p>I do <strong>NOT</strong> appreciate that Mozilla now <em>forces</em> me to use the FireFox home page (or else literally nothing - a blank page) for my new tabs. I want to use the same custom page I have set up as my home page, but since the last update, that page only shows in a new window, not on new tabs. Is there a workaround for this? I use multiple tabs within the same window heavily, and having FireFox abruptly override a customization I have already set up and been using for years, that works best for me, is seriously pissing me off. I know there is a plugin to se new tabs, but I already have several plugins and would prefer not to add more. </p>

We have another account that we would like to transfer an extension to from the old email account. Is there any way to access the old account or transfer the extension from the old account to the new one without having the access to emails sent to the email address of the old account? </p><p>This is important to us as the id of the extension used within the non-existent account is preventing us from loading another extension with the same id. This is to prevent us from having to rebuild our NMH software that must use the appropriate id for communication. </p><p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>

<p>on a website my college is using for part of its curriculum, I tried to use the ctrl + F "find in page" feature to find the "caret" character ("^") in my textbook, but when I hit the button to find the next match, it doesn't find anything but it also doesn't change to say "Phrase not found" like it did on this page before I started typing this post. I'm not sure what's wrong, but I think I might've just stumbled upon a bug similar several previous bugs like [<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1299464|this" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1299464|this</a>] and [<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1320495|this" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1320495|this</a>]  by the way, there also seems to be a bug with the "insert link" button on this forum. I selected the words "this" above, but it keeps trying to set the word "this" as the target for the link with nothing in the "link text" field, and since there is no support article named "this", it will just use the default markup text for when the input is invalid ("<a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">http://example.com</a> this" with brackets around it)... pretty sure that's a bug as well right? </p>

<p>After auto update to FF 89.0, access to long-time Fidelity account is intermittently blocked as a security warning, or causes DSL line to drop at submission of account security code, or displays account entry page as plain text, not std HTML formatting, or most often results in a technical error page saying try again later. MS EDGE works fine, no issues. This is the only webpage this occurs on. Fidelity has no FF reported issues on their end nor does my IP supplier. Using desktop PC, running Win10/64-bit, DSL line @  ~ 2.3 Mbps. Using the "Light Theme" which was auto set with 89.0. This plus the new bastardized menus will push me to drop FF since I can't afford endless hours to fix basic functionality with ea update. </p>

I am running Windows 10 Home Version 19043.

Need help to turn off search in Address Bar AND to restore proper Search function in main body of webpage

content:
<p>I've read the instructions from 2020 on how to fix this: "To disable search and force everything typed on the address bar to be treated as URLs, follow the steps below. </p><pre>   Go to about:config    Accept the risk and continue.    Search for keyword.enabled and toggle it's value from True to False.    Search for browser.fixup.alternate.enabled and toggle it's value from True to False." </pre> <p>There are various versions of these fixes. None of them work so far. The problem continues. When I enter a search term in the Firefox search function on the body of the webpage, the search area greys out, the search text pops up in the address bar, which reads it as an url, and the next message from Firefox is: </p><p>Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at test. If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try: </p><pre>   Try again later.    Check your network connection.    If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web." </pre> <p>The 3rd image attached here shows that there is no option to remove Search from the address bar in settings. The 1st of 2 options is "use the address bar for search and navigation". The 2nd of 2 option is "add search in toolbar." Switching to the second option does not resolve the problem of the "main body search bar" not working. </p><p>Note: Firefox is set to Allowed by firewall and antivirus program which includes VPN. </p>

It's like the only option I have now is the adress bar, the search bar is useless  and though it's ok for an adress it is not for a proper research. I wonder how to sort this out.  Thanks for your help ! </p>

<p>Hi, </p><p>I am currently running FF 89 (64bit). I noticed just after that update the bookmarks had changed. I have a lot of folders and had a Chrome.sss file to change the empty outline to the more traditional yellow icon. I know there were other things in that sss file that I had added to adjust the basic FF displays. However, I have searched my computer and cannot find the Chrome.sss file.  </p><p>Is there any way to find this file instead of having to regenerate it and relearn the changes I had made?  </p><p>Why does FF not leave the Chrome folder and sss file instead of seemingly delete them?  </p><p>I also do not like the black background and white text that pops up when I right click a bookmark. That combination is very hard on my eyes. Is there an easy way to get black type on a white background or maybe a light grey background? </p><p>Thanks in advance for your help! </p>

<p>How many are moving to a different browser thanks to Firefox/Waterfox incessant dialog prompting to 'update now'? There used to be an option to turn this off. No longer.  Weekly or bi-weekly updates are rarely of any consequence anyway, so why must we endure prompt after prompt after prompt. Not everyone can stop what they're in the midst of to update on command. Speaking of incessant, I suggest Mozilla put more work into stopping incessant crashes. Now that would be an accomplishment. Rarely does an hour pass without my browser crashing. Say what you may about old Internet Explorer; at least it didn't crash all the time. </p>

<p>Hi there, </p><p>I've been a fan of the multi-container feature for quite some time, and I enjoyed it most of the time. The only thing that annoys me, however, is that eveytime after I've removed some default container named in Chinese(I'm a Chinese and my Firefox UI is in Chinese as well), Firefox always added those same container back! Everytime! I just want to keep the containers that I've named in English and nothing else, and yet Firefox doesn't seem to understand that. It seems Firefox thinks I, as a Chinese, would definitely want those containers named in Chinese, which I don't. Hope you understand, and someone from the dev team can help fix this, because other than this specific issue, I don't have any complaint about Firefox, which is just a great browser and is keeping get better and better! </p><p>Thanks and have a great day. </p>

I have followed every instruction to the finest detail except some of the details you say to use are non existent trying to set gmail as my mailto default . The last and final straw that wasted more of my valuable time was this set of instructions I want you to follow these yourself. The hamburger Icon isn't at the end of the address bar like it says it is so I googled where is it and got the following. "hamburger icon | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support <a href="https://support.mozilla.org" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org</a> › en-US › questions 29 Jan 2018 — You can also get to the Firefox menu by clicking on 'Tools' on the menu bar : Press the Alt key on your keyboard and in the upper left corner ..." </p><pre>      Another bunch of my time wasted you cannot access  anything that will help set gmail as the default going through tools. I'm being far more polite than I would be if I was standing in your office. Hey give me a job where I can get paid for not producing anything of value  I'm sure you can squeeze one non family member in can't you? I have terminal cancer and not much time left here on this demonic earth thank God I'm going home soon. But until I do I would like the time I have left to be productive and would like to request that you fire all the incompetent family ,members they must be because your just as incompetent for paying a fertilizer spreader to write computer help articles.      Sorry to all you volunteers if any one can tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it and I meant everything and more that I said and hope someone sends it to the damn fool. These big corporations get filthy rich bribing politicians for tax breaks blah blah blah and you know as well as I do no business would be in business long making just half the mistakes they do unless you got the same perks . Have a wonderful day and blessings to all you volunteers and everyone that you love.Sincerely ARICHARDHEAD (Kyle Jennings) </pre>

<p>Hello, I'm a new Firefox user (I finally got fed up with ad-infested Chrome making necessary extensions I need to safely browse the internet not work any longer). When I changed to Firefox as my default browser, however, it replaced my local HTML file icon for my home page (which is on my desktop) to this butt-ugly icon I can't seem to change (I absolutely abhor dark backgrounds on ANYTHING, as they give me blurred vision and migraines thanks to a neurological issue). Unfortunately, Windows 10, in all of it's user unfriendliness, has decided not to give me the option to change icons using the properties window (there's no "Customize" tab). Can anyone tell me how to fix this, please? I do my own custom HTML pages a LOT, and I don't want to have to leave my default browser set to Chrome because their HTML file icon isn't a total (and literal) eyesore. </p><p>Thanks for any help you can provide! </p>

topic: other

answers: 1420108;
creator: Nemosfins
content:
<p>I request a new FireFox update system be adopted. For platform specific releases, the version checker first checks to see if a particular letter (or number) exists, if yes and the version is different (or higher) it becomes a platform specific sub-version release. Example: for Windows specific releases, the version-checker looks to see if ‘w’ exists, if yes it is Windows platform specific. If not but the version is different or higher then it is a universal update. Same principle applied to each platform. This means mac &amp; linux users are not being nagged multiple times a day to update to a version that has no applicable changes to it for their platform. At least two of the previous three updates have been Windows specific updates, not applicable to other platforms. By the looks, some of these minor updates might only apply to 1.2% (or much less) of Windows users whom actually use that tool or function. This update system change is so simplistic and should only require one extra line of code in the update-checker. Of course, platform specific devs would need to remember to add the platform specific key to the version of the sub-version release and also the version file online. </p><p>I’ve been wanting to make this request for a while but the FireFox Feedback option has been disabled for a period of time. Any other avenues to make this request? </p>

I am being inundated with them. </p><p>I was so angry at this terrible Facebook-like new version that I deleted FF completely, ran CCleaner and re-loaded Version 88. Of course I lost all my favorites while doing this. When I went back upstairs a few hours later, the update was re-done WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Very sneaky. </p><p>I found out how to shut off all the Proton stuff, so I can now use FF upstairs. I see tons of "fixes" using CSS stuff, which I am not comfortable using. A browser should make these options EASY! </p><p>You say this is a "new, clean look."

<p>Prior to updating, when I typed a question from the Firefox homepage in the search box in the middle of the page, my search parameters would appear there where it would be easy to see.  Now, every time I type anything in a search box, it jumps to the address bar, causing me to have to shift my line of sight to the top left of my screen rather than the center of the screen.  Not to mention the text on the address bar is several orders of magnitude smaller than the test on the web pages search bar.   So how to I shut this behavior down?  If I click in a search box I expect my text to appear in that search box, NOT in the address bar. </p>

<p>Honestly, I came home last night and clicked on the LinkedIn open tab to discover I had to log in. I have never had to do that. I never logged out. My log in and password were not offered or suggested. Then I discovered other tabs that had logged me out. Then I discovered I passwords had disappeared. I do not know what happened. I didn't update anything. I have spent hours trying to fix this. I followed one route to create a new profile and now I have lost the 73 tabs open over 3 windows for my businesses. Damn! I am fuming! And with no phone support this is the end of working with Mozilla. Can someone please help me? I'd like to wind back to yesterday morning!! Profiles, everything! I managed to find my bookmarks, but I have lost time and lost business. Help! Please! </p>

<p>When i updated i lost all my bookmarks but my issue is that randomly firefox will just stop responding? when i open a new tab it wont load so i close the window and try to reopen it but an error message pops up saying im trying to open an older version and it forces me to 'make new profile'  then it opens an older version and prompts me to update even though i already had, so i update and then i have to sign in to everything again. and this has happened multiple times so i started making bookmarks of all the tabs i had open so i dont lose them and them save them as backups, but i cant restore the back ups </p>

<p>NY Times now won't load images (there's now a hold-to-see button; image &amp; headlines vanish when you let go) on either side of the firewall &amp; YouTube blacks out their link icons &amp; the right column recommended / loaded-for-sequence play videos on the right column whether you're signed-in or not. Background images are now blacked out on some sites. None of this ever happened to me until I upgraded to FF 89.  </p><p>Why is this? How do I stop it? </p><p>The array of Mac settings, FF settings, site settings is dizzying as we all know, which makes sorting out where the problem might lie a bear w/o help. Things worked great through 88. I allowed FF entree to simply install each new version. No prob. Now this. 89 is clearly a complete overhaul -- I've seen scores of comments from folks left aghast at these changes with no clear, comprehensive tutorial of 1) what exactly FF did &amp; changed, 2) why FF did it &amp; most importantly, 3) how to return which sections / settings to what you wanted &amp; felt comfy with &amp; which you're just stuck getting used to. Configuration ability is a huge aspect of computer living.  That FF info alone would have lessened the heat I'm afraid you've been taking. </p><p>Anyway, back to mine... any clue as to how to reset whatever it is that needs resetting to drop this blockage? Many thanks for the assist! </p>

Every single damn search is leading to how to mess with the task/toolbar at the top of the freakin page. I can make it reappear if I press the windows button or open another program, but while in Firefox it's not visible. The top taskbar, bookmarks, and all are still there so it's not in full page mode.

<p>I use Firefox to access our company's online testing site.  Sometimes a customer will call us to update their name on our system.  I go to the customer's record on the website and make the change.  Once I save the record, I could go back to that customer access their testing data and download a certificate which downloads as a pdf.  With the previous version of Firefox, the certificate would download and the changes I made were shown on the new certificate download.  In the new version (89.0) the new download does not show the changes I made.  I assume this is because the cookies or cache are not updating properly.  Can you give me some idea of what to try to fix this.   </p><p>I performed the same routine in Chrome and it works perfectly and also in Edge. </p>

<p>Hey Guys, </p><p>I have here attached a screenshot of a shadertoy shader running on Firefox (left) and Chrome (right). I actually have a list of shaders I tested on both, that have Chrome working at less than 5fps but work 2-4 times faster on Firefox. </p><p>I was wondering why this is happening, and I did some research about Firefox. The only thing I came to think is that Firefox’s WebRenderer is making the glsl run faster. But I checked if it was enabled, and it was not. So I’m stuck…anyone have any suggestions? </p>

That is annoying. </p><p>But even more annoying: whenever I start to type what I want to look for, a drop-down menu appears with lots of suggestions for me, and those suggestions hide the lower search bar.  As soon as I type one letter, the drop-down menu appears with lots of guesses about what I want.  I don't want suggestions cluttering up my page ~~ I just want to type without all of that clutter.  I'd leave an added image, but it won't let me take a screen shot of what I'm talking about. </p><p>Is there any way for me to disable the drop-down menu with suggestions?  I HATE IT!

URL was checked and was identical in both.  You'd think Firefox would recognize <a href="http://firefox.com" rel="nofollow">firefox.com</a>! </p><p>Sometimes it fills in the password after I have entered the username.  This is for sites like <a href="http://Firefox.com" rel="nofollow">Firefox.com</a> that don't have the username and password on one page but sometimes its happened when both are on the same page.  But shouldn't it recognize the username or does it have to have both on the page?  Is there any way of making these types of pages work properly?  This is not high security.  As if I could care less what people read or know what I'm posting in a forum like this on the operation of a browser. </p>

Its like its locked into the previous address.  The last one was a bank.  And I can't even open a new tab from this window.  Control_T opens a new tab in the original window defeating the whole purpose of segregating your work in different windows so you can group numerous tabs. </p>

<p>I use the session restore option, but when I open a new firefox window (by detaching a tab) and forget to close last the window with most tabs, the restored session is the single tab that I detached. This has happened a couple of times, but I can't remember <em>exactly</em> how to solve it, just that there was an action that would 'pop out' the previous session, like opening a new window and closing the last tab there. any tips? </p>

<p>Good morning. My Firefox appears to have updated overnight and now my menu bar is a light grey colour instead of it's original black.

I am directed down the path: settings&gt; extensions and themes&gt; manage your themes. </p><p>Unfortunately I can see no way to 'manage' this theme. I would mention that I am a native English speaker but any so called 'discussion' of this issue uses what I call 'geek-speak' which is unintelligible to a non IT professional. </p><p>I would be most grateful for someone to explain to me in simple terms (ie keystroke by keystroke) how to re-set my menu bar colour to black, whilst noting that the text for (file, edit,view etc) needs to then be white rather than the pale grey which it has become. </p><p>As an after thought, does anyone know which developer it is that thinks it a good idea to mess with my original view settings during an update. It is NOT helpful and, quite frankly, really annoying. </p><p>Many thanks in advance to you wizards out there Chris </p>

<p>So I am not sure what this is about. I know the search bar and URL are combined no matter what at this point, but the issue is that if I type any letter; it suggests a website that I have never visited, bookmarked, searched, etc. </p><p>Please see the screen shot I have attached. In this example, I typed the letter "y", although it can be done with any other letter, and an unwarranted site will pre-populate. I am assuming this is Mozilla is promoting/sponsoring certain websites when you start typing any letter, which I don't want a part of. </p><p>It can't be DuckDuckGo causing this (the search engine of this user's choice), because changing the Firefox settings from URL to Search bar only doesn't make this issue stop. Not sure what I can do to prevent unsolicited sites from showing up when I am typing into the URL field. </p><p>To replicate, you can start typing any letter into the URL/Search bar field and the first result directly underneath is a "random" website suggestion. </p><p>This is why I assume it is coming from Mozilla (not DuckDuckGo), because before the recent updates, there was never this issue. It is great that you guys want to promote your favorite sites, but from the user's end: it is forced upon us; which is not supposed to be Firefox-like. </p><p>I don't read the blogs and articles about Mozilla's vision, so perhaps this is a new feature and it works as expected; however, there should be an opt-out so that users can just search for a website name without a favored suggestion appearing directly below. </p>

<p>Perhaps this is some artifact of being on Firefox 89.0 but I've noticed that even though Firefox isn't running - even Task Manager has no mention of it - a small icon of Firefox is shown in the main taskbar all the time. </p>

<p>The search engines I've added do not appear in the list after clicking the green + sign in the search box and they do not appear in the list in the options either.  I used the "add more search engines" found in the bottom of the search engines list to find the missing engines and add them again, but when I find the engine I want to add there is only the "remove" button.  So this tells me the missing engines in the list are still there but not accessible.   I tried removing the added search engine and then adding it again but this did not make them appear in the search engine list.    Everything was working fine until getting the last update before Firefox 89.  Is there a way to fix this??? </p>

<p>I need to copy browsing history and bookmarks from one laptop with FF v.60 to another laptop with FF v.52.  </p><p>I know there are different ways of doing this, but in my case I don't have use of the source laptop. BUT, I do have the full profile saved in both laptops. I also had saved a json bookmarks copy, but it's 5 days old. No huge deal but I had some major restructuring of my bookmarks yesterday.  </p><p>There's also sync, but I tried to just sync history and it does nothing. Plus I'm not sure if it's going to sync to "last updated" which is actually the other (destination) laptop with FF v52.  </p><p>In my profile I see bookmarks clearly, but no history. They are both in places.sqlite? Should I just copy this? What else would be copied? </p><p>By the way, in bookmarkbackups folder, I see the last jsonlz4 file is from June 9 12:10 am, not June 10 12:10 am as it should have been perhaps. Does this jsonlz4 file work with the restore command of "import and backup"? </p><p>Thank you! </p>

<p>There are 2 problems. I don't know maybe they are related so I'm presenting them both. In the past both processes have worked with no problems. Windows 8.1, latest FireFox. </p><p>First: Bookmarks Backup  Bookmarks tab Show all bookmarks Library opens Import and Backup Backup Bookmarks backup filename window opens pick destination folder - Desktop File name box: bookmarks-2021-06-10.json  Save </p><p>Only there isn't a file saved on my Desktop. And it's not my computer messing up. I took a snapshot of the Library Bookmarks backup filename window and saved it to the desktop and it worked fine. I thought maybe if I used File Explorer it could find the file bookmarks-2021-06-10.json. It did, but it's still not on the Desktop where I could save it to an external hard drive for a Backup. See attached files. </p><p>Second: Bookmarks delete files/folders. I can move files and folders around, just deleting or removing them is a problem. </p><p>Method A. Bookmarks tab right click on link or folder I want to delete click Remove Bookmark nothing happens  </p><p>or Method B.  Bookmarks tab Show all Bookmarks Library window opens right click on file/folder want to delete Drop down menu, click Remove Bookmark </p><p>or Method C. Bookmarks tab Show all Bookmarks Library window opens choose file to delete Organize drop down menu, click Delete </p><p>This is where it gets confusing. For methods B and C sometimes it will delete, sometimes not. Thinking about it, mostly not. I don<em>t know why the difference, I don't think I did anything different to delete one but not the other. </em> </p><p>When I open the Bookmarks tab again, I can't tell if the list is the same or not. I don't think it's changed. </p><p>I worked really hard on this and then I messed up and lost everything I'd done. So, I started all over, but I don't know if this is as accurate as the first. I hope so. </p><p>Please, I'm an old lady simple answers in plain English are always appreciated. </p>

<p>When i put search terms in the navigation bar, Firefox reroutes me to Amazon.  That's extremely irritating because I do not like Amazon and do not wish to search there.  I've done an hour of research, and everyone has ideas to which my Firefox browser is impervious.  I don't understand why a nonprofit is rerouting me to Amazon and I'm now looking for an alternative browser. </p><p>I've read that this has something to do with my "top 8 sites' -- but that hasn't helped solve the problem.  other people tell me to type in about: config and that doesn't help.  Others say to remopve Amazon from your search engine list: I have done so  and it doesn't not fix the problem. </p><p>Is there any easy way to get rid of this rerouting behavior for my navigation bar searches?  I've read answers to this question on this forum, and none of them have helped so far. </p><p>I don't know why Firefox decided to emulate malware behavior in their browser.  If they're going to set up such an extremely irritating feature, they could at least set up a super-obvious way to disengage it -- like "CLICK HERE TO STOP BEING REROUTED TO COMMERCIAL SITES." Instead, I have to search and search -- and even things that "work" only work for certain browser iterations. </p>

creator: thomas.klinger

<p>Hi, </p><p>since the latest version of Firefox I have a problem that tabs are not going to be restored when closing just the window. On Mac closing the window means pressing the red bulb in the top left corner, which actually keeps Firefox running in the background. I know that it was different in previous versions. There the last open tabs were reopened when creating a new first window. Now sessions are only restored when Firefox is shutdown explicitly (CMD+Q) and then restarted. Option for session restore is set.  I tried to fix that by using the addon Tab Session Manager, however, this is not the behavior I'm used to. I also deleted my old profile (all my urls, etc. are gone now ... :( ), no effect. </p><p>Anyone know if something has changed for sessions? Or is it just me having such a problem? </p><p>Regards, Thomas </p>

<p>Help! Today, I updated from v. 88.x to the latest v. 89.x of Firefox for Mac OS. Unfortunately, the new look and interface of v. 89 is very difficult for me to see and use. The menu bar items (text and icons) are too small, and everything is too small, too light and low-contrast gray with no borders ,etc. I've been using Firefox for Mac OS for at least 15 years, and I've never been so dissatisfied by the look of an upgrade. I am running on a Mac Pro with OS X  10.14.6. </p><p>Having played with the various preference menus in v. 89.x that I could find, I am not able to find settings to return the look to that of the previous version. Is there a "theme" to make the interface user-friendly again, or do I need to actually revert to v. 88.x? If I need to go back to v. 88.x, how do I do that and preserve all of my original settings, bookmark, etc.? Thank you! </p>

<p>Buonasera a tutti, è la prima volta che scrivo sulla community, vi ringrazio in anticipo per l'aiuto. Non so bene quando, con l'ultimo aggiornamento alla versione 89.0 (64 bit) sono stati introdotti diversi cambiamenti grafici, temi di aspetto tra cui scegliere, ma qualunque io scelga, non riesco a ripristinare una cosa in particolare: le singole voci dei menu hanno adesso una spaziatura (tipo l'interlinea di Word tra una riga e l'altra, per intenderci) molto più ampia e questo, che forse sarà sembrato una miglioria, comporta che si visualizzino meno voci e si debba più spesso fare lo scroll per vedere il resto, in caso di menu molto pieni (tipo quelli dei miei segnalibri).   Finora non sono riuscita a trovare nulla, mi chiedevo se qualcuno avesse la mia stessa esigenza e se avesse già risolto. Il downgrade potrebbe risolvere, ma certamente non è la soluzione migliore. Grazie a tutti! </p>

<p>This is not a question but a statement of disappointment:  I am very disappointed with the latest update. I really, really don't like the latest version.  Web pages (i.e. YouTube and others take too long to load and execute), the search option on the new tab is useless (I hate that it goes to the URL bar), spacing in the bookmarks list is greater which makes it take longer to find a bookmark, UI updates are Meh, etc.., etc.., etc.. </p><p>I've always stayed away from Google and MS browsers. Firefox has always been my browser and it now sucks just like the rest!  I'm going back to v88.x until you get your shit together and fix things. </p>

<p>I'm using the latest version of Firefox (89.0) on both of my Windows 7 computers as well as on my iPhone. I have this really annoying glitch where I'll bookmark a page, and Firefox will occasionally duplicate that bookmark hundreds of times. I've gone in and deleted the duplicates, but then the problem re-occurs, so I'm trying to figure out how to finally fix this! I've already spent several hours looking through your help forums and trying to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Here's what I've done: </p><p>I turned off sync on all my devices. I also noticed that I had the iCloud synch extension on one of my computers, so I removed that, since I read that might cause some issues. Then I went and cleaned up the bookmarks on one of my computers, deleting all the duplicate entries, and I exported an HTML version of my bookmarks to my computer and also created a backup .json file. I refreshed Firefox on that computer. And I changed my sync password, since I read somewhere that that would supposedly force my old data to be deleted from Firefox's server. </p><p>Then I turned sync back on on that one computer, hoping that the latest version of my bookmarks that were on that computer would now update to Firefox's server. But instead of replacing the old bookmarks file in the cloud, it simply added back the old duplicate bookmarks to my computer (which apparently never got deleted from Firefox servers, despite the password change). Super frustrating. Isn't there a way to force a one-way sync, so the version of the bookmarks file that I have locally -- which has the latest changes -- takes priority?? </p><p>I then tried going to "Import bookmarks from HTML," hoping that the version I had previously saved would replace this bad, outdated version I had downloaded from the server, but that didn't seem to do anything (I guess import only adds new bookmarks but doesn't delete existing bookmarks?). Could I import the json file instead? If so, how do I do that? I've considered deleting all my bookmarks and then importing the html file again to see if that fixes it, but it looks like the html file doesn't include the bookmarks on my toolbar. Is that correct? If so, I don't want to lose them. </p><p>Not sure what this is so glitchy and so difficult to fix. Can someone please help? </p>

<p>So, I know this isn't the most important question to ask  out there, but... so, up until recently, the tab history when you left-click the back button, would show several columns of history, but now.. it's only one. And I used the function a lot before, but now it's... kinda not serving the purpose I used it for, so is there any way to revert it? In the settings or something. Sorry, thank you. </p>

<p>Hi, I'm looking for assistance in removing/restyling the large line spacing between bookmark items added in release 89.0. Operating system is Windows 10. I've tried the workaround from another forum adding a userChrome.css file to the chrome folder in my user profiles folder with the following code: </p><p>/*** Tighten up drop-down/context/popup menu spacing ***/ </p><p>menupopup &gt; menuitem, menupopup &gt; menu { </p><pre> padding-block: 4px !important; </pre> <p>} </p> <dl><dd>root { </dd></dl> <pre> --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 4px 8px !important; </pre> <p>} </p><p>This had no effect.  </p><p>Any help would be appreciated. The added padding is not helpful, but makes for unnecessary scrolling to locate bookmarks. </p><p>Thank you! :) </p>

<p>Hi, my machine choked and died on the latest Windows update. I tried every trick I know, but eventually had to admit defeat and nuke'n'boot. <em>Most' 'of my stuff was either backed up or kept on a non-OS drive, but I needed to reinstall Firefox. When I did, I found there is a limit to how many tabs Sync willl display at once from another device. That limit is 1,271 tabs, which is not all of mine - I'm pretty sure I had more than that open in a </em>single one' 'of my seven open windows (though probably only the one window had that many).  </p><p>Also, with the new Firefox update, while I can open all 1,271 at once, that just leads to Firefox crashing. When similar things happened in the past, I could open, say, fifty at a time, and kill Firefox's process every time it became too much for my computer, then reopen firefox with all those tabs open but not active, however with FF 89 I only seem to be able to open one or all.  </p><p>To make matters worse, those 1,271 tabs I can see seem to be randomised each time, or at least randomly ordered, so I wouldn't even be able to methodically open all 1,271 with my usual method of killing firefox and reopening it. </p><p>Is there any way I can send the 1,271 straight to bookmarks, or open the <em>entire</em> session from the old install, or view more than the 1,271, or open the <em>old</em> synced tabs view, where I could open as many or as few as I wanted to, instead of all or (basically) nothing? </p><p>Thanks! </p>

<p>I don't use Chrome for the same reason, and now it's happened to FF. I'm on a desktop/monitor WIN 10. With the last FF upgrade to 89.0 text has faded on some web pages. (Almost all of Ebay) When I tried to fix this on Chrome years ago, I thought I was missing a system font. That was not the case and everything I attempted, failed. Now, last week, FF upgraded and here I am again. Please help if you can. Thank you. </p>
