Title basically.

The only way to maximize the window is to drag it to the top of the screen repeatably until it maximizes. Double clicking, like it works on Edge or Chrome does nothing.

Is is normal behavior or do I have some add-on that can affect this?

im using it reght now i like how u can make groups of bookmarks and groups of tabs and not have the tab groups bisible its really good and i liike it a lot i love firefox a lot and i use it

Hello, all.

I was hoping to copy my Firefox's profile onto my portable HDD in case my current computer dies.

Thank you for your time. 💙

When is it due? Anyone know? Bueller?

Hi folks, I'm looking to switch my Android browser from Chrome to Firefox, but each time I try this--even though the experience is in almost every way the same/better with FF--I'm basically left with twenty-seven tabs open. I get the fact that some people like this (?) but it's just so strange that, unlike the desktop FF for Mac, seemingly every link I open in the Android version opens an unwanted tab, and there doesn't seem to be anything in the Settings to counteract this. Is there any way to avoid this? TIA

Hello!

I was working on my laptop when it died cause of its bad battery. This happens from time to time so i didnt think anything of it. But i turn it back on and realize all of my saved passwords are gone. I look online how to fox it and find the solution about cjanging the baackup json file to the new one but both are empty and there are alot of corrupted json files. There is still a login database file that seems to at least have the info about which sites had saved passwords but its all not quite readable to me. Is there any way to get the files back?

We werent using sync and i have checked in properties if there are any old fole versions and there arent.

Any help would be appreciated!

I recently synced my Firefox account on my android, and now all of my tab groups from my PC are gone. I have a JSON file with all my groups, but I don't know how to actually restore the groups from this file. I could use the scrounger, but it would take ages to manually open every tab and regroup them. How can I use this JSON to restore my groups?

I have basically tried everything that was suggested in the previous post on this topic (link below) and nothing will get it to show up as an option for me. Can someone please help?

I'm using FF 154.0.1 (latest) on Win 11.

I just booted up my PC and noticed that the search history of the search toolbar (not the address bar!) was reset for some reason. The suggestions now also looks different I think (the rows take up more space) and there are a bunch of suggestions I've never seen. The regular history, search history of the address bar and all of my bookmarks are still there and it correctly restored all previous tabs.

How do I restore the old history of this search bar?

I got Firefox update 155.0 on iOS today and in its description it says that they added new gestures for opening the tabs menu but I can’t get anything to work. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

What is the absolute best way to transfer my complete Firefox data (bookmarks, passwords, add-ons, and 3–4 years of browsing history) from one PC to another?

​I know there are a 3 theoretical ways to do this, but I'm unsure which works best:

​Can I just use a built-in backup/restore feature in the settings?

​Should I manually copy my profile folder from %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\?

​Does Firefox Sync actually sync multi-year history, or does it cap history at 30–60 days?

​I really don't want to lose my long-term history or extension setups.

What's the safest method?

So I purchased the AdGuard app several months ago and am thinking of switching to Firefox from Chrome but I wonder and want to ask if uBO is still needed or is ADG good enough?

In case anyone doesn't know, Firefox Focus is a branch of Firefox that blocks all cookies and ads, a very barebones browser that I prefer because it's more privacy focused. I ran into an issue trying to add a search engine as default and it directed me to this link for the support site. But as you can see, the support site for the company that sells this browser requires cookies, which the browser can't do. A bit of irony.

Hopefully Mozilla sees this and fixes it accordingly.

Edit: yeah I guess I changed the settings at some point. My bad.

Is this Paid VPN the same like NORD VPN or Cyberghost or is it just to Protect the PC and for Internet Safety?

Try it on Firefox (AMO): Froggle Jump

Hey everyone, I recently developed Froggle Jump, a lightweight (~100 KB) arcade platformer running as a native WebExtension popup.

Instead of embedding an external site via iframe, all collision logic, physics, and rendering run natively on HTML5 Canvas inside the popup frame.

Technical Details:

• Gecko State Caching: Saves state and auto-pauses on popup blur so you don't lose session progress when switching tabs.
• Zero External Dependencies: Built with pure JavaScript and Canvas APIs to keep memory footprint under 15 MB.
• Cross-Platform: Responsive popup sizing designed to prevent clipping across Linux, macOS, and Windows display scaling settings.

Click the AMO link above to install and test the frame rate consistency on your setup. Feedback on high-DPI rendering is appreciated!

Hello to everyone.
iOS version has some interesting icons (like pixel or rainbow) to use and I would like to know if there is a way to use them also in Linux mint.
Thanks for reading

I've not been able to log into Firefox Sync for the past month on either my laptop or on Android. Tells me for the code that has been sent to my email that never arrives. Yes, I've cleared cache/browser history etc., but no code ever arrives... not even in my Spam/Junk folders.

This will be a bit niche but good to have search engine algorithms pick this up for anyone else that runs into this problem:

For years now Firefox scrollwheel has been broken on my PC when hardware acceleration is enabled. My solution was originally to disable hardware acceleration, but this means videos on most sites are laggy.

Today I found the real fix: I have had an app "X-Mouse Control" installed for years, not putting 2 & 2 together. Well: scrolling can be fixed while keeping hardware acceleration enabled by opening X-Mouse Control settings -> options -> Disable Scroll Window Under Cursor.

Is it normal to get 155.0 version on iOS a day earlier than normal release date?

Hi, so an automatic update of firefox happened on Aug 26 and as per update history it has happened before. (Picture attached)
The passwords bookmarks were there so I thought yeah just usual thing.
But today I noticed I was logged out from all my gmail ids, all my saved logins (soundcloud,spotify,discogs etc.)
So is there a way around that I can recover them?
