Firefox Community Forum

I had been uninstalling unused programs. Just cleaning my laptop up. When I finished, I clicked Firefox on my taskbar, however a popup appeared saying something along the lines of "The item ____ that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?" I didn't uninstall Firefox or do anything to it, so I was confused. I tried clicking it again, I got the same result, so I clicked Yes. I opened Firefox again and I had been logged out. After logging back in and syncing what I could, I wasn't able to get all of my data back. This includes things such as passwords, history, the theme I was using, and extensions. What bugs me the most is that I have lost my Bitwarden master password, because foolishly I did not write it down. Any help is greatly appreciated! I am not the most skilled with technology. If this has already been discussed, sorry about that. I'm pretty frustrated about this.

Thanks :-)

For a while now, maybe a couple of weeks, an unwanted shortcut appears on the desktop and also on the taskbar. I delete them, but after a while they appear again. (Windows 7, Firefox 115.18.0esr (64 bit)) How can I eliminate the phenomenon?

Hi all -- I have to admit that I am pretty frustrated after Firefox instituted the change to how shortcuts on the homepage operate a year or two ago. They used to be so reliable. Now frequently accessed websites are often missing or there's one row instead of two (despite being set to two obviously).

This is such a basic and important feature. It would be nice if things returned to working flawlessly.
