Please solve it. And also I have been blocked for accessing this extension owner' s website. THANK YOU. OM PRAKASH GUPTA

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

I'm not sure what exactly caused this. Normally when i opened history page by ctrl + h, the page popped on the left side, but suddenly it's on the right side which is annoying. i couldn't find the solution for this and i don't change any setting on about:config or anything like that while searching. I also attached a screenshot example.

Hello, I am suffering from an odd issue when using twitch.tv. In short, when viewing peoples streams, my video feed will usually turn into colorful static (aka "clown vomit"). I suspect that the issue is coming from Firefox, but I can't be certain. I am using a newly-bought laptop and the issue could be caused by a large number of things, theoretically. Here is what I know:

• When viewing on twitch.tv with quality 360p or higher, the video feed will usually (95%) become colorful static within 1 minute or less. When this happens, the video feed does not ever recover until page is refreshed or quality is changed. (I know a bit about video encoding, so this seems extremely odd to me, if it were due to a networking thing that lost some packets, a full-image frame should come alone sooner or later and fix things, but that never seems to happen)
• The video feed is far less likely to become corrupted when viewing at 160p, but can still happen.
• The ads may become corrupted in the same way that the main video feed can.
• When the feed is corrupted, the rest of the Twitch interface (pause/play, volume, quality select) is extremely laggy.
• When the feed is corrupted, if I pause the stream, sometimes the paused corrupted image is not completely stationary! There will be flickering in small portions of the image, looking similar to texture fighting in 3d rendering, flickering between two equally-but-differently corrupted versions of the image
• The issue never appears when using Chrome to watch twitch.tv. This is what makes me think Firefox is the culprit, not Twitch or networking or graphics drivers.
• Disabling my browser addons does not help.
• Private browsing window does not help.
• Clearing my browser cache does not help.
• I have had the issue happen on Youtube exactly once in 2 weeks, not sure if that's related or not, I think it was a normal "lost some network traffic but fixed itself the next time a full frame was received" thing.
• Video live streams on Youtube don't get corrupted the way they do on Twitch.

Can someone please give me advice for how to fix this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way for me to get deeper under the hood of either Twitch or Firefox and more closely debug the video stream when it fails?

I recently had to buy two new laptops. I loaded FF but now I have no bookmarks on the address bar. Ive read many of the support articles but can't find anyway to revert back to the far more useful version (the one that worked before). This is causing many other problems on trying to load Windows 11 on the two and then try to load Firefox.

I saw a notice on this 3rd laptop )that hasn't been downgraded to the latest version) this is the beta version. Frankly. when I found the problem originally I thought I had a virus or Trojan on my system. I need the bookmarks easily accessed since I use them constantly to visit the sites most important to my work.

If this is Beta then you have one very irate user that it simply changed most of Firefox's settings without notice or recourse. So my question is simply this: is there a way to reload FF on these two new units with the vastly superior previous versions? PLEASE give users the original settings so that they can choose which they need.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been unable to open my McAfee True Key in Firefox. I get the following error message: Firefox can’t find the file at moz-extension://ae1ad9a5-b03b-436d-a80c-089f594a3777/pages/dashboard.html#passwords. McAfee says that Firefox is blocking their extension. It works fine in the Microsoft Edge browser. When will I be able to use True Key in Firefox?

Firefox just updated. Now when I go to a website, right-click a link, and choose open in a new tab or window,it does nothing. If I left-click the link I can get to it in the same window, but when I go back to the originating page, it seldom takes me to back to where I started (which is why I prefer to open a new tab.)

The right-click menu itself looks wonky: There's blank spaces at the top, far too many options appearing, most of which are irrelevant to the situation or duplicate options.

This is happening in every site I've tried. For some sites I use this means Firefox is useless.

I am trying to sync my Firefox on a Windows 10 PC with Firefox on a Windows 10 laptop. On the PC, I have 43 tabs open. When I sync the PC and laptop, not all tabs are shown on the laptop. Both have "open tabs" checked in the sync settings. If I look at the sidebar on the PC, showing the "synced tabs," only 20 tabs are listed. This explains why the other 23 tabs are not synced. But why aren't they synced? I can't find anything telling me there is a limit on the number of tabs that are synced, or how I can elect which tabs to sync. If I look in the sidebar at "history," it does show searches on both the PC and laptop that were made on the PC and are shown in tabs on the PC that aren't synced. Can I have the sidebar display all tabs, and not just the synced tabs?

A Google Search produced a file within my Mac as one of its responses. It took me awhile to figure out it was the response beginning , "https://downloads . . ." I knew Google's reputation as the worst spy of internet activity, but I thought it only searched the internet. How can I prevent Google searching within my computer files?

I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?

So since today I have an Issue where a ton of Pictures on Firefox turn completely black (see attachments). This happens on basically every Website. I've tried a few things like removing/disabling extensions or changing the Theme however nothing helped. I also have another instance of Firefox installed on another Drive on my PC (completely clean new installation) and there I have the exact same Problem. I tried updating Firefox but that broke it completely on my other Instance and now I can not even open Tabs there anymore.

Recently got this new pc built with an AMD ryzen 5 8500g, 16gb ram 5200mhz if that matters. While using firefox, the browser itself would stop responding and crash or sometimes just hang. I reinstalled firefox and it fixed the crashing and hanging, however a couple of hours ago while playing a browser game the computer reset itself completely Is there any way this can be fixed? I've tried some methods but i'm willing to try them again

when using a Fido2 security key Firefox browser requests a "security pin" to continue logging on to other website. I don't recall setting a pin. How to change or delete the pin issue?

Recently, my bank's bill pay program was updated. Ever since then, I haven't been able to get in to make changes using my original browser (Google), so today I tried to get in using Firefox. It worked properly while I still had my computer person available. However, when I tried to get back in to the bill pay part, it says I can't because I'm not using the browser I used to to set it up. That one won't let me in! How can I fix this? I get this message:

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page

Recently, I am increasingly experiencing a video playback issue, where the screen goes nuts with varying color pixels blocks. I haved the most recent version of firefox installed. Can someone help me please. Thanks in advance.

I'm having this weird issue where youtube videos will play fine as long as I don't seek the video. If I do seek a couple of times, the image will freeze but the audio continues. The subtitles also continue if enabled. Firefox Release 134.0.1--January 14, 2025 Fresh install from Flatpak. No addons installed.I have tried both on and off hardware acceleration but the issue still persists even in troubleshoot mode.But no problem with other firefox based browsers like mullvad,librewolf,zen.
