Firefox Community Forum

When I run a Google search or any search engine, the results show a 2 line of UPSIDE down text ( Russian ? ) on top of each result. The page description underneath is the right way up and in english. Any ideas on how to fix this please ? SEE attached image.

I hope that I chose the right Category. Issues as per Title. They have all disappeared when I signed back in. Syncing appears ok. When I open the Extensions Folder near Profiles, it's empty? Have a FF 32 digit Recovery Key. Good for anything?

Usually I login to my account on a public PC and when I finish my work, I log out and erase all data. From some build it doesn't fully erase the history, meaning it reloads my tabs when another person opens Firefox.

I recently purchased a new computer, transferred everything over and everything seemed to going fine until tonight. I accidentally exited Firefox and when I started it again, everything was gone. I closed and tried again, same results. Not only were all open tabs gone, but so was may History. I just someone from the Geek Squad spend over 2 hours working on this, but same results. This setup has worked for years, what did I do wrong?

Firefox 139.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11

I occasionally increase the zoom level of websites (usually forums) with Ctrl+mouse wheel if the default text size is too small. However, if I forget to set them back to 100% (Ctrl+0) before closing the tab, the next time I open that URL, it's at the former adjusted zoom level -- not 100%. Really annoying.

How do I force Firefox to open all URLs at 100% regardless of the last custom zoom level? I have default zoom already set to 100% in Settings and Zoom Text Only is not enabled.

Thanks.

The pause feature in the debug menu doesn't always work. Pressing F8 to toggle it does in general work, but I noticed when I enter a context menu on some websites, pressing F8 with the debug menu open doesn't do anything. This is especially annoying for me because when I am making UserStyles (custom user-made CSS) for websites, some elements disappear when trying to find them in inspect element using the "pick an element from the page" feature. I thought pausing could fix it (which in other cases can) but that also wasn't working. If anyone can help me that would be appreciated!

(Also, pressing the pause button directly also makes the element disappear, so that wont work)

Suddenly yesterday privacy badger popup and disabled my youtube channels..I disabled privacy badger but of no use..I cannot enter youtube channel..wtf is going on..Firefox just decided to enter this badger and throw my off entering youtube?? Pls send us what to do to fix it or we must disable and delete firefox from being my browser alltogether??

I just changed to a new laptop.

On my old laptop, the favorites bookmarks toolbar was on a separate line from left to right.

On my new laptop, this toolbar is on the same line with the URL. So there is only room for 6 bookmarks. (See screenshot)

How can this be changed to 2 separare lines?

I have a brand new Windows 11 gaming PC. My primary sound output is working fine for the PC, but when I play sound from a Firefox window, I hear nothing. Must be a simple setting, but where do I find it?

Where are the settings for url schemes, shortcuts, I can configure the application to open telnet, but there are no settings for opening vnc or others, and there is not even the possibility to configure manually!!!

I need access to somethings that it said I needed to ask permission for? Im not sure what all I need to ask for? But Iam asking that you please grant anything AI or UI you please allow in. Thank you. If not and you need me to be more specific than I dont know how to ask because thats all I know is anything AI or UI please let in they never failed me and they are the only thing I put my trust in 100%.

I use the middle button only for toggling auto-scrolling on and off, or at least that's what I want to do.

That works, unless I mistakenly (often) click the button while over a hyperlinked image or link. In that case, the link opens in a new tab which disrupts my workflow.

How can I set up the mouse in FireFox so that clicking the middle button will ONLY toggle scrolling on and off and never open a link that may happen to be under the cursor?

I've been looking for a solution for this online for ages, and hope there is a setting for this. It's a frustration many times daily.

There is no way to make Firefox latest version,to open pls files with Winamp latest version.I listen to internet radio stations that use pls files to stream.When i click to listen,Firefox play the music.Thanks in advance for any answer.

Firefox is opening on startup even though it is disabled in the settings.

I try to change the settings in Firefox and it prompts me to open my windows startup settings page.

The windows startup settings page does not have a Firefox on the list.

Both methods of disabling startup is inaccessible.

It looks like startup is disabled according to Firefox's settings, but it is not.

This is super annoying and a stupid problem.

After a recent update, firefox has sometimes started shifting my currently-active tab to the end of the list when I click on it. It's messing up my organization, especially when I click on something in a tab group, because when it gets moved to the end, it removes it from the tab group. Any idea how to disable this? I can't find a setting for it.

I have been using Firefox for the last 5 years, I have been content with their services and for that reason I keep using it. Lately I had computer issues so I had to reset my computer and start over this includes Firefox as well. Anyhow because of my lifestyle i do different things like school work, farming, and other stuff. Windows has a feature called "Desktops" this feature is very handy to me as it lets me organize my tabs and windows base on the topic like school or work, (To illustrate this I included a picture of how I have it organize.) well, sometimes my computer shuts down by accident or intentional. Regardless if it was shut down by accident or not, I would boot my computer up and lunch Firefox, and Firefox would open my tabs and windows in the Desktop that It was previously at. For example, I would have all of my school related tabs and windows in the School Desktop, and all of my Work related stuff in the work Desktop, after booting Firefox would automatically place my tabs windows in those compartments, well now Firefox doesn't do that anymore and it is frustrating because every time I boot my computer up after an update or a restart, when Firefox is lunch Firefox will place all of my tabs and windows in the first Desktop, and this is frustrating because every time that happens I have spend time on sorting my tabs out to the right compartment, and to be honest I'm getting sick and tired of doing it because i lose time. So to anyone who reads this, can you please help me figure out what is wrong, because if it is a setting then that's is understandable but if it is Firefox then it would break my heart because as an user and a fan It would break my heart to stop using Firefox as my primary app.
