Firefox Community Forum

I have no idea what just happened. I went to log off a website and a notification popped up that said "Check browser's developer console". I searched here for "developer console" and there were 0 results. I did log off after the 2nd try so it's no big deal but I'm just wondering what that notification meant. It sounds kind of serious. What did it mean? Thanks!

There was an update today on my PC laptop, I think from FireFox. After the restart, my bookmarks have all disappeared. The instructions to restore them are useless. I go through Menu/Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore/Choose File. THERE ARE NO FILES TO CHOOSE FROM. According to the instructions, there should be some dated entries. Nada.

I tried the Troubleshooting blahblah and that was equally useless.

I'm panicking that I've lost years of carefully organized bookmarks.

So I just noticed after downloading the new update to Firefox, version 139.0.1 that something new came up in my task manager called Crashhelper. Never seen this before. Closed it down and it seemed to have no issues shutting down at least. I haven't had Firefox crash in recent months, so I'm assuming that this cropping up might be a glitch of some kind? I looked this up to see if anyone else had this issue, and it seems someone on Reddit did encounter this, on Linux, and another on Windows also seems to have run into it. How do we stop this from coming up whenever we start up the browser?

I'm on an older Macbook Pro with OS 10.12.6 My browser says it's up to date.

It seems that ever since I did a sync-up with another Macbook, glitches have appeared on this machine. One thing happening now is that some websites take forever to load in, and others won't load at all. With other sites there's no problem. I have a fiber optic connection. The speed test indicates that all is good. I did reboot recently.

I'm wondering if some sites are using advanced scripts that my older machine doesn't like, or perhaps recent updates from Firefox just don't work as well on this machine. Any suggestions??

Hello,

I recently updated my Firefox browser to the latest version, 138.0.1 (64-bit), on Windows.

After the update, I noticed that when playing videos in fullscreen mode (for example, on YouTube or other video websites), the Windows taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen with the Start menu icon) does not hide automatically. This is affecting my fullscreen viewing experience.

Before updating to version 138.0.1, the Windows taskbar would hide correctly when entering fullscreen video.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with the Windows taskbar not hiding, or if there are any suggested solutions to help resolve this problem.

Thank you for your help!

Periodically (in the nature of 2 to 5 days) my Firefox will remove a selected setting that autofills my passwords to various familiar sites. Specifically, the box labeled "Ask to save passwords", is the box that will 'uncheck' itself. I want it to stay checked. How do I make it stay checked?

I have exported my theme made in Firefox Color (love it) - both xpi and zip. The theme has been working for 2 weeks. I just want to reinstall it to check, and eliminate Firefox starting with "default" and then loading my theme. I also have no backup if I had a computer malfunction.

I'm not sure how it can be "corrupt" since I'm looking at it working right now. I exported using your site and your buttons - but when I try to install it says "unable to install because it's corrupt."

Updated recently from (I believe) 138.04 to 139.0.1, and immediately noticed that the size of font (and icons) had changed in the folders I have in the bookmark toolbar, that is they are much smaller and thus also less space between. Why this, and is it possible to change the size, without changing something else?

It's possible that many don't have folders in the toolbar and thus don't notice, but I have 2-3 apart from bookmarks.

I remember a change many versions ago that increased the space between entries in the bookmark menu, and also in the bookmark toolbar folders. That was too much and I found a setting [in config] that could be changed to decrease the space back then. (I haven't looked for that solution now, probably have some doc somewhere, and won't bother searching since this is different. Same with this case; I did some quick initial search but found next to nothing and older. BTW, this is one of the downsides of changes like these and similar; the day you have too move to another OS version, i.e. reinstall everything you also have to keep documentation of all these little changes, apart from all the other things you'll have to export or save.)

Firefox is asking me for my primary password, but I've never set one up. If I try to turn off using the primary password, it says I have to enter the current primary password to do so. Firefox only started asking me for a primary password earlier today. I tried to log into my Mozilla account, but it said I didn't have one. I've created one now, but still can't get past the screen asking for my primary password. My email address is alexduckett1@yahoo.com
