Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I've seen others ask this same question in archived posts with no proper answer.

How do I select all tabs to be imported from a synced machine? I have the list on my sidebar, I can import or close one tab at a time, but there is no menu available to select them all (there are many). Right-clicking on the device name etc. does nothing.

Windows 11, Firefox 141.0

Many thanks for any help!

Hello, I have used Mozilla FireFox for some time now and thought restoring it to a new device using my account after a catastrophic laptop failure on July 12 would be the easiest of the recovery tasks I was going to have to pursue but apparently not. For a start, not all my passwords are available to me and then the look and feel of the browser is different. Where I had grouped tabs of bookmarked URLs the Bookmark bar has reverted to an older version with some bookmarks I had deleted and some newer ones missing. I'm not even able to reconstruct what I had working before and it's become very frustrating. Is there an older history/moment in time I can revert to? I've already been told that the VPN I have been subscribed to is not compatible with my new ARM-based device so my loyalty to Mozilla is being tested at this time. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Since this week's update of Firefox Developer edition when the browser is restarted tabs do not load until I reset the browser.

I suspect an add-on but have not been able to determine which one.

This is happening on multiple (3) physical computers.

I just started a new work role and haven't been able to find the time to troubleshooting of the issue myself.

This has been very disrupting and stressful.

I have a problem that I cannot resolve for months. I'm always listening to YouTube I'm listening music while I'm working or I'm doing task on Firefox I used to have no problem I just Open YouTube and let it play on auto play and it goes no matter what. About 6 months ago I started to experiment some problems the video stop all the time even if I have a playlist going on like 50 song one after another it will stop once in a while for no reason. It pissed me off so much that I have to change my browser by default and I don't like other browser I use always Firefox with DuckDuckGo so when I'm trap to use other browser I get mad the only one that functions very good it's on edge Microsoft and seriously I cannot stand this… I'm forced to use YouTube only on edge it's the only place that it works no matter what it never stop. It used to be a little arrow in the bottom of the screen, a button that you can click on and off to Auto play or not, this button disappear it's not even there no more. This button Auto Play it's not there in Edge or Google Chrome but YouTube works for them not for Firefox so what is the problem it's not the setting is it YouTube that's got problem with Firefox? I don't know, it must be a way, a back door because I need to go back with Firefox I need to go back with DuckDuckGo. I'm pissed because I have to leave just because of that and that it's no compromise for me my music will pass before everything else. I don't feel like asking question to the community because it takes months before they answer you if they do. It's no customer service for Firefox or Mozilla whatsoever they don't answer you they don't talk to you they don't fucking care and this is another thing that pisses me off because they have a good thing going on but they don't care about the people. This was, this is what I did so far: Disable Hardware Acceleration "Performance" section.

I unchecked "Use recommended performance settings."

I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available." Clear Cache and Cookies I cleared the cache and cookies preferences privacy: Under "Cookies and Site Data," I clicked on "Clear Data."

Extensions about:addons I disabled all extensions to see if the problem persists… nothing happen YouTube I used YouTube in a Private Window … nothing happen YouTube Playback Settings I changed the video quality … nothing happen

Developer Tools for Network Throttling Maby using the developer tools, I can check for network issues? I didn’t try yet Reset Firefox I Refresh Firefox to restore it to its default state… nothing happen I uninstalled it and clean the registry. I reinstalled it. …nothing happen I ensure that you I’m using the latest version of Firefox: Yes My laptop specifications: Device specifications Device name: Fatcatbasse Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHz Installed RAM: 64.0 GB (63.4 GB usable) Device ID: 8EDED38D-1047-40B4-8AIF-C2361C5E5841 Product ID: 00330-80000-OOOOO-AA797 System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display

Graphics Drivers I ensure that my graphics drivers are up to date. They are Testing Other Browsers I already mentioned that Edge works well Google Chrome also. I'm trying to receive an answer from anyone on Firefox nobody answer me because nobody can answer this question. It's been months that I'm waiting. Thank you very much for your help. Thank you, Firefox.

Hello! I saw that the Test day event had started. In Firefox Beta, I entered messaging-system-action.testday in about:config, put it on a string and set the value to testday as it said in the instructions. When I restarted Firefox, the welcome window did not appear and there was also no letter S next to the search as it should be. Please help!

Thanks for the answers!

Firefox quite often will remove, replace, add, or layer text as I use it. It has been doing this since I first downloaded it, and I haven't had it for long. (I will say that it isn't the first program I've seen do this. the only other program I've seen do this is Zotero and Tor) I'm only asking here, because those other programs are less used. I'm not doing anything weird with it, it just happens as I use it. Some of the screenshots I've submitted are of what I'm literally typing right now.

I've tried using troubleshoot mode, but it works just fine when I'm using troubleshoot mode, so I can't appropriately use that mode.

Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

Firefox 141.0 update has made everything move very slow. Pages will only partially load then take several seconds to completely fill out. If you click on something, the little dot on the browser tab will be gray for several seconds and then eventually turn blue and open the page. It's like it's having to think a little bit before opening the page. Everything just seems delayed.

Emergency!!! I just arrived home from a trip, and on my primary pc, I had saved say 50 tabs over a number of years. I was/am interested in syncing, but I had taken no known actionable steps to do so - but when I arrived home, my primary pc did not open the previous session. I lost everything. Spent hours trying to recover the previous session. Then, I simply decided to go back seven days and restore those tabs. Eight Hundred(!!!!!) tabs were restored, from what appears to be from each of my computers. I am now deleting the 750 unnecessary & repetitive tabs (again, on my primary computer), I am now *scared to death* to boot any of my other computers and have all of my history wiped again. WTF!!!??? Thank you very much!!!

Firefox has started redirecting to advertising pages after clicking on a link. Only on 1 site. The site loads but not quite correctly. Normally has information about movie ratings show up when you hover over pictures. Have to double click (double load) to get where you want. Does not do it with Edge. Used to work fine, just started.

Hello, I'm not sure which genius decided it would be a good idea to have the latest update (141.0) automatically change the Firefox settings to 'clear history when Firefox closes' but that is what happened on both my computers... I obviously didn't notice just lost years of research history as well as all my tab groups. No information in session history at all (before today). Nothing at all in session restore. Is there ANYTHING that can be done to restore my history? Genuine suggestions appreciated.

I can see all my bookmarks, passwords, history etc. on mobile but this Sync feature refuses to import the bookmarks to my desktop browser. What is causing this? I have Synced then Unsynced dozens of times with the bookmark option on and off, signed in and out several times, reinstalled Firefox several times. There has to be a way that I can just get my bookmarks onto my desktop. It cannot be this complicated.

When trying to sign in to Lastpass. I get a notice to "Set your permissions to strictly necessary " but there doesn't seem to be a way to save that choice and it always reverts to "Voluntary data collection" thereby making it impossible to use Lastpass. I can use the extension on other browsers and even on Firefox Nightly. Any help would be appreciated.

Starting today when using firefox browser my cursor has started to flicker between the pointer and the hand erratically. There is also a delay when trying to type anything in a text box, search bar or browser address bar which is making it hard to operate. I have refreshed, restarted and also reinstalled firefox a fresh and still no luck. It's specific to my wacom pen that i use. I have been using firefox for decades and don't want to change to another browser - but if i cant solve this I might have to.

I also reinstalled wacom drivers, disabled the hardware performance setting in firefox, cleared cache, updated any of my windows drivers that needed it. And now am at a loss. any ideas?

Previously, the shortcuts displayed on new tabs quite sensibly displayed the sites that I accessed the most from new tabs. The list was fairly stable, since I'm only normally accessing a few sites this way.

Today, the behavior of these shortcuts changed significantly, showing sites I visit much less frequently, and the shortcuts that are displayed also change frequently, instead of remaining stable as they did previously. I'm currently on version 141.0, but it's possible this behavior changed in an earlier version and I didn't notice until now.

Is there a way to revert to the previous behavior?
