Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

It was good to see on today's (2nd June '26) flyer that I can get the free Firefox VPN, excellent for my laptop. I took my previous one off because it was clogging everything up.

I am from the UK and living in Spain. I have recently bought a Firestick but cannot get any UK programmes due to regional restrictions, so I need a VPN to get round those.

Proton VPN offer a free service that I can put on to the Firestick. Their site gives you the instructions. My question therefore is, can I put the Firefox VPN onto the Firestick and if so, how? It makes sense to have all your VPNs in one place. Kind regards Mike

I'm trying to open a file that was sent to me, but my computer is asking me to update Firefox. When I try to do that, it shows that I already have the most current update.

Just started getting messages when I log into Schwab that my browser, Firefox 115.36 esr, is not fully compatible and that I may see some performance issues. Yes I do see issues such as misshapen popup windows when buying/selling shares.

I'm on an older, unsupported operating system (MacOS 10.14 Mojave) and am currently using Firefox 115.36.0esr which for the most part works fine. But there are increasingly websites that complain about having an outdated/unsupported browser and won't let me log in or whatever. For some sites I've solved the problem by using the Opera browser, but I've grown accustomed to Firefox, so......

There are a couple of options (that I know of) with browsers based on Firefox: Firefox Dynasty which has now become Firefox Momiji and Pale Moon.

I've given Momiji a quick try and function-wise it seems more or less like the regular Firefox, but does anyone know how safe it is to use? Both in regards to whoever is behind it and as a browser in general? I know nothing about Pale Moon. In addition to working with most current websites and be safe it should ideally be compatible with the current (115.36.0esr) version of the normal Firefox so that I can transfer all my open windows, bookmarks, tabs, passwords etc.

How do I change a profile folder's name without causing any problems? I'm on a Mac.

I know I can change a profile's name for internal Firefox use (by going to about:profiles in the URL address section of the browser), but the cryptic folder names remain the same. I've read that you should never change a profile folder's name directly (inside ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/), so is there another way?

I run both the standard version of Firefox and the developer edition on the same computer, so it would be nice to immediately see which profile folder belongs to which Firefox version by their names.

Mozilla Firefox desktop : As at evening of 22nd May 2026, UK time, Firefox will not interface to Aol email. Gives " We can’t connect to the server at mail.aol.com ". Connection was fine earlier today, & as I know of no Mozilla changes, suspect this is a change at the AOL end. no longer permitting access to Firefox.  ?? Other browsers do connect, hence not an AOL outage.
