1. Close Firefox (FF) with some tabs open 2. While FF is closed the websites are updated 3. Open Firefox, tabs reopen 4. Go to tabs

Expected: Tabs should the latest version of the website (ie the page has been refreshed)

Actual: Tabs are showing the old, previous (cached) versions of the website and not refreshing to show the latest

User has to manuall refresh each tab to see the latest version of the page

Are other people seeing this issue?

How to Programmatically Configure FoxyProxy(Extension) in Firefox on Launch?

Hello Firefox community,

I’m currently working on a project where I need to programmatically configure the FoxyProxy extension in Firefox every time I launch the browser. My goal is to dynamically set proxy configurations (e.g., IP, port, username, and password) before or during the browser startup.

I’ve explored several approaches, but I’ve run into challenges with each method

Does anyone know of a more effective way to achieve this? Any guidance on modifying FoxyProxy settings on launch or programmatically managing Firefox extensions in general would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help!

About two or three times a month the PC randomly freezes completely if a video is running in the actual Firefox browser (regardless of the site, regardless of whether it is in the active tab or in the background). First the image freezes, after about 10 seconds the sound freezes. Only a hard reset helps. The problem is observed both in actual Windows 11 and in Manjaro Linux. In games, rendering, stress tests and other PC works stably, does not freeze. How to solve this problem?

I want to stop the browser from auto refreshing in some website but it keep auto refresh despite the fact that accessibility.blockautorefresh is marked as "true". In the past it wasn't like that, but someone who used my computer visited the website and clicked on some note from the website and gave it a permission for auto refreshing. I tried to look in the "permissions" of the website but found nothing about auto refreshing. I don't know how to stop those auto refreshing.

I have version 130.0.1. I keep getting popups prompting me to update. I'm skeptical at popups so I go to check what is the latest version at Mozilla.com. They don't display that; they only want to automate an update. I won't do that. I want to see what is being updated and to what version before I download and execute some unknown automated process. Mozilla should know better than try to cloak an update on us. We are the ones that use Mozilla because of all the "automated" trouble and hijacks out there.

I have an eTrade account and for the past 3 or 4 weeks, I always have to clear cache in Firefox in order to be presented with the login window. The url that comes up when I launch eTrade is: https://us.etrade.com/home/welcome-back. Once I finish with that eTrade session, I log out but the next time I try to launch eTrade, it just spins. Down in the left corner of my screen I see "Read c.evidon.com" but the login screen never comes up and the tab that I launch on is just showing a spin and never seems to time out. Once I go into settings and clear cache, it works (have to close down firefox and relaunch it though). Did something change in the last firefox update that could have caused this. Never had this issue before and I've had firefox and the eTrade brokerage account for many years.

I would like to have different default search engines for the URL bar and the search bar. For example have a query typed in the URL bar use DuckDuckGo by default. But a query in the search bar use Google by default. I am aware that it's possible to use shortcut strings, use alt+arrows to cycle through the options, or select a different search engine from the icons. I'd like to be able to set them differently without any of that.

Hi - Is there an updated bookmarks tutorial? just uploaded a new firefox version that seems to no longer have the recent bookmarks tab?

I'm older (and not computer savvy) and will admit that i find IE bookmarks convenient, easy to use with folders, one or two clicks, etc........ but firefox bookmarks? seems designed to be more difficult and security notwithstanding has forced me to use other browsers. Or am I just making it harder?

Thanks in advance for anyone taking time out their day to help, Bill

Hi I was wondering why Firefox uses so many instances just to run one tab? I keep lagging when I use this browser, and when I check Task Manager, it says its running up to 13 instances. I've had this happen when I've been actively using Firefox, watching videos on Firefox, and even just having one new tab open while I'm doing nothing else on my computer, and it still runs between 7 and 15 instances.

Before writing this question, I searched the already asked questions on Firefox and found someone having almost the same problem as me, only instead of all instances being grouped up (like mine), theirs wasn't. When I tried to follow someones fix to the problem, I soon found out that this was for an old version, and their instructions included an option that my up-to-date version didn't have anymore.

In conclusion, I'm having a problem where Firefox is running too many instances, and all of the answers to other peoples questions are out of date. Thanks!

I could open the email and the options were available just above the mail. If I use other browsers, edge, chrome, opera, etc it works great. It doesn't with FF(my preferred browser) I do not think this is an Apple issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled icloud and reinstalled FF. Didn't uninstall it and lose all my data. I've added icloud.com to allowed list. Still doesn't work. I need help.
