Firefox Community Forum

I have upgraded my Firefox to version 146 and I have a disruptive color of active bookmark in left sidebar. How could I change this color into moderate one - dark grey.

A few days ago my saved passwords all disappeared. I have been logging in manually and when I do Firefox asks if I want to save the password and I click yes. The password then shows up in the saved Passwords. But... in a day or so it disappears again. What's going on? I have not changed any settings.

There is a common error documented in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding but none of the solutions fix my problem.

I have signed out of my PC and mobile devices Done a complete uninstall of firefox on the Windows 11 machine Searched and removed ALL files on the drive associated with Firefox or Mozilla, including cache and temp Searched and removed ALL Firefox or Mozilla keys in the registry Checkdisk Used update to refresh the windows install Multiple reboots

and a fresh download and install of Firefox. And still get the "already running" error. If I wait long enough - several minutes - I will get the "crash report" screen as the background process finally ends.

Any suggestions?

Firefox has been the most mainstream "good guy" browser for a long time, but it's no system's default. People use Firefox deliberately -- installing it by choice. We have other options (like LibreWolf) waiting for us, and we'll leave with one of them as soon as it's the better option. Save your money, save your customer base, save the environment, and don't try and shove another useless AI down our throats.

The rise of AI in a browser i specifically use to not have to deal with it is honestly not making me want to use it anymore. Stop implementing AI and get off the enshittification train.

Why suddenly and for no reason after years and years on the same computer am I not able to access espnaudio.espn.com Makes no sense!

I've been using Firefox for 20 years. I love it for the accessibility, the ability to control what I want and how I use it without a bunch of shady corporations peering over my shoulder. But if this new CEO decides to force AI into it, just like every other business and browser out there, I'm done. I'm going to move on to Librewolf or something similar. I am so sick of everyone and their mother deciding we all need generative AI in our lives, forcing it down our throats even when a person takes a clear stance that they have no interest in it. I'm not interested in it. I want to do my own writing, and my own searching, and make my own decisions, thank you very much. Adding in a bunch of AI crap now means Firefox will no longer stand out from the rest of the big-name browsers. You'll be just like everyone else.

Firefox does not start automatically when Windows 11 starts. When I do start it manually, then a small rectangle appears on the screen in the upper left corner of the screen!

Please address issues.

Whoever they are needs to be taught a lesson in user retention. Allow me to help. Now, in the wide world of the web, there are a lot of browsers to choose from, and while firefox is a big enough fish to get mentioned regularly, it's still rather small in the grand scheme of things. The thing about that, is I would wager the majority of firefox's users are the sorts of people to look at chrome and all the dubious and sketchy things google is doing (including AI integration) and choose better for themselves. Now, what happens if mozilla decides, "hey, we're not enough like google" and start implementing the questionable policies that are in place with chrome (such as AI implementation)? If you said "those people will look at the same stuff that pushed them away from our biggest competitor and leave us too" then congratulations! You're correct, and also smarter than the average ceo. Anyway, someone please get the ceo to reconsider his decisions or I'm going to have to reconsider my own to use firefox.

I'm deleting this browser, and I'll re-download if the CEO is removed and the AI plan is scrapped.

The Mozilla CEO making Firefox an AI-driven browser is the antithesis of why I used Firefox to begin with. I recognize this is a loaded question, but I am still driven to ask it: Does Mozilla want to keep their users?

Cheers. See yall on Librewolf.

There is absolutely no reason to invest so hard in AI when the vast majority of your users do not like it and do not want to use it. At the very least, it should be easy and straightforward for users to opt out of AI features and or disable them permanently.

i was tired of chromium browsers being an absolute mess so i switched to firefox. now it seems firefox is headed the same way, very disappointing but sadly unsurprising. i guess i'll have to find a new one to use

I'm sure you've seen the many, many other responses detailing how a lot of long time users are upset, caught-off-guard, and losing their faith in Firefox and its team.

And I'm adding one more.

I am, for lack of a better term, not an op-sec obsessed redditor ready to move into the woods and only use tech from the 90s. I'm just a guy, who switched from The Other browser after constant data-focused scandals, and disregarding of their own userbase. And now! My beloved fox browser seems to be diving headfirst into that same kiddie pool. That sucks immensely. I won't lie and say I've been reading every single update, and blog post and whatsoever about the CEO change. I read about it 10 minutes ago! But it is still, confounding to me the change in direction, and I will no longer be holding others' hands and helping them switch over to Firefox.

This bubble will pop. It saddens me to see how greed wraps itself around peoples' hearts and suffocates them.

I am unable to login to National Savings and Investments where I have premium bonds, savings certifcates and a savings account. I contacted them and they informed me that it was because of Firefox and I should use a different browser. I have cleared all cookies, caches, temporary files and browsing history but still no change. I am told that the connection has timed out and that secure.nsandi.com is taking too long to respond.

The continued addition of AI features in Firefox has shaken my belief that this browser centers privacy for their users. AI is bloating the Firefox service and creating my strain not only on my devices but our environment as more and more data centers are being built. This "tool" is often inaccurate, plagiarizes, and poses a threat to the security of our data. Firefox has always stood their ground to being a quality browser as other browsers got worse and more invasive, but with the addition of AI tools, it would seem it is eager to join the ranks of Chrome and Edge. If this is the trend Firefox intends to continue, then it is time I look for a safer alternative.
