Hi Google Maps all of a sudden is not showing the names of places in Firefox. When Google maps loads initially the names show for about 1 second and then disappear.

 I am on a Surface Pro 9.  

Google Maps works fine in Chrome.

I have already tried disabling extensions, clearing cache, and ensure the performance is set to run normally. 

What else can I do to fix this?

The screen on the monitor flickers when I clip on the page. To stop it from flickering is to click outside the page which means I cannot use the full page. currently I'm using window 11.

Bookmarks in Firefox disappeared and cannot import my Bookmarks backup. I have tried to restore an older Bookmark file through /manage bookmarks/ import and backup/restore to no avail. thank you

About a third of the time when I go to a new site I have to "reload tab" once or twice. Sometimes it will open the site and then stall and I have to "refresh". You keep upgrading so I assume my software is up to date.

So long story short I was trying to selectively wipe a cache for an unrelated site to get up to date information, and in the process I accidentally wiped my browser data for a chat site I use.

I clicked "clear browsing data" and set it for the last hour, thinking it would only y'know, delete the last hour of content. I had the chat site open at the time, it didn't log me out of anything, and all of those logs were still there as far as I could tell.

Come today, I log on to the chat site, and all of my conversations are gone. And I would very much appreciate getting them back if possible. No I have not recently updated my F-list backups or anything of the sort, so my only option is to find where the (deleted) browser data is stored and recover it from there. Which I really, really hope is possible.

Please help.

For bunnings.com.au and youtube.com I can't get the websites to respond to mouse clicks. I run Firefox ESR. I can't install any chrome based browser as they are blocked. I plan to stay with Firefox. I am on 140.6.0esr. This problem has been happening since at least 140.2.0

When I go to youtube.com and type in the search bar, nothing happens. When I go to bunnings.com.au same. I can't search. Clicks on anything are ignored. There may be other sites I have not yet discovered. I can type in the search bar but pressing enter or clicking search does nothing.

For you tube, if I go to DDG and do a search, the you tube videos will play when embedded there, but the actual youtube site won't work for me.

What I've tried. Disabled all add ons Uninstall all add ons Disable enhanced tracking Run Firefox in troubleshooting/safe mode Disable WIndows firewall Remove WIndows hosts file Disable all router firewalls Disconnect from VPN Restart router Clear Firefox cache Delete all cookies Rename prefs.js and restart Firefox with defaults Create a new Firefox profile Run virus scan - nothing found. Reinstalled Firefox Reinstalled Windows

Not sure what to try next.

After defaulting Firefox, the previously used add-ons Easy-YouTube downloader, Easy YouTube Video Downloader Pro as well as YouTube Online Video Downloader do not appear on Youtube anymore, like they did before. This never happened before. It was always possible to add and use them again. What to do? Thank you for your help.. I should maybe add that I use a Laptop with Windows Seven. Laugh if you like, I want nothing else, why would I ? I know how to use this thing and it took me long enough, the newer Microsoft Programmes I came across are so terrible, I wonder how any-one can stand them. Thanks again for your time.

On my main desktop computer whenever I try to open a Channel page on YouTube, Firefox will start to lag and either tell me it is slowing down Firefox and I need to stop the tab or just crash.

Sometimes after I refresh a random number of times, it will load the videos tab and then be fine on that channel. On other occasions it will never load the channel's Home page or Videos page and I have to close the tab because it won't load or change.

This only happens on my desktop computer. It it more likely to happen if the page has a home screen video.

Let me know what you think. Thanks

When I do this:

Click the menu button Fx89menuButton to open the menu panel. Click Bookmarks and then click the Manage bookmarks bar at the bottom. In the Library window, click the Import and Backup button and then select Restore.

I get a blank slate. No files listed.

When I go into the Profile, I see C:\Users\whatt\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\shgdgxn6.default-release-1752271533405\bookmarkbackups

How do I restore bookmarks from that file?

I want the whole screen when I press F11. But the address bar and tabs bar are no longer hidden. How can I hide them, or better make F11 hide them as it did before.

When I watch videos (reels) on Facebook, and sometimes on YouTube, I share a video either to messenger or my page, the whole string of videos I have already watched goes back to the beginning of the string everytime. Only Firefox does this. I have 3 other browsers that work fine, but I prefer Firefox of course.

I'd appreciate a fix for this, Thanks

Hey all!

I was just wondering why when you were platforming as one of the only browsers that didn't use AI, a CEO change-over was enough to completely backtrack on the values of the company to instead push for a use of AI. As a concerned adult I'm no longer able to verify accurate information in my searches because the first things to come up are AI inventions of information, not the actual websites that people put time and effort into running to ensure we get as close to human information as possible.
