bold text i cannot see the new tabs since they are way too small now. Yesterday they were fine but now they are made for people with normal vision not half blind people like me. Your help button is totally useless and made for people that are programmers. NOT for normal people like me. I just cant see very well and shouldnt need to use a magnifier to read the tabs and seach bar along with my bookmark bar. I can see they web pages fine but I need to see the things above that. It was working fine yesterday but some idiot who doesnt with good vision who is ignorant about people without good vision

Hi,

I am at my wits end with unmanageable updates.

I do a lot of research online and have tabs open and forms partially filled in a lot. This last week has seen two unavoidable updates that caused me to lose data I'd been working on in forms that did not re-populate. I first had updates set to install only when FireFox was not running, but it forced a restart anyway - and I lost an entire page of data I'd been working on.

So I changed it to let me choose when to install, but it forced a restart anyway. This is with no notice whatsoever. I open a new tab, and it says I need to restart to keep using FireFox - at that point, every tab I go to will not let me use it. I didn't even know an update had downloaded in the background.

This is a new behavior; I used to have a choice when to download (but not when to install). I'm sure I'm missing something - but what?? Can anyone help with any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Q: Homepage and Tabs allows URLs; New Tabs offers only Blank and Firefox Home (Default)

Any way for New Tabs to also have a URL? Why not?

Thanks.

Been trying to retrieve misplaced bookmark folders not bookmarks themselves in the Bookmarks Library with no success even going down several sub-levels; Would be nice if there were a search function, but will take a step-by-step solution. Thanks!

After easy semi-automatic updates for many years, the last two updates (143.0.3 and 143.0.4 on Windows 10 64bit) have stuck showing "Downloading update -- 0 bytes" for hours. The first time I eventually gave up and used the installer from the Firefox site to re-install. This seemed to get me to 143.0.3 without losing any important data in my profile but was certainly the hard way!

Now the same thing is happening during the update to 143.0.4. What's going on? Are other users having this problem? -- jclarkw

P.S. -- How can you manually stop and update during the download process? -- jclarkw

When using version 143 on linux and PIP is open and I go to another workspace the PIP does not show on any other workspace other than the workspace it is already on. This does nt occur with Chromium browsers as there PIP follows on any workspace.

What should happen is the PIP in firefo should always appear on the displayed screen I am working on.

I asked this question before and in response to a request upload the crash reports. But have heard nothing since. This is now happening daily. PLEASE, Mozilla, help me (and NBTW I make reg gifts in response to your appeals).

Today I logged in after the new update. (Oct 4th). Firefox was stuck in a loop for looking for updates. I went round and round, couldn't solve it, finally decided to reinstall. When I reinstalled it said I already had an installation and asked if I wanted to open the existing application and keep all my settings etc., or not. I tried opening the exiting application, but it kept looping back with the same question, not opening the existing application. I ultimately told it to start fresh, even though I knew I would lose all my configurations, addons, etc. I then spent quite a bit of time reconfiguring everything. I turned on synch and kept the synch key. I closed the application, reopened it, and it put me back to the original screen for installing afresh, asking if I want to open the existing application or start again and lose all my configurations and data. It wouldn't let me open the existing so I reinstalled and had to begin again. I don't know what to do.

I'm on OS 15.6.1 (24G90) lapbook pro, I think it's called

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

when i click file, email link a pop up appears and says the file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. I have refreshed firefox this did not work and i have checked that the mailto is set as thunderbird.

Подскажите! Почему не отображаются favicon в закладках? На первом скриншоте favicon есть на втором скриншоте когда я закладку переложил в папку favicon уже исчез!

Help! Why aren't favicons showing up in my bookmarks? The favicon is there in the first screenshot, but when I moved the bookmark to the folder in the second screenshot, the favicon was already gone!

ok so this problem has been bugging me since i switched to firefox, back in chrome, if i type nexus at the search bar, the first suggestion would be my most visited url at nexus which is nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition how to make it so firefox would do the same?

looks like i put in two accounts by mistake and it is taking up space i need to sync my iPhone and i don,t know if i remove one will it affect the other one. Or should i remove them both and start again?
