I recently updated to Firefox 135.0 on MacBook Pro, Catalina, OS 10.15.7 In the past, with multiple Firefox windows open & multiple tabs open in each, when restarting, "reopen pages on startup" selected, system loaded & ready to go, I'd find all windows, tabs & history available upon launching Firefox. Since update to 135.0, shut down & restart, launch Firefox and I find a single blank new window, no multiple windows, no tabs, no history. I've tried to find [Settings] to make everything come back - no joy, to no avail. Suggestions? Help? Thanks, JS

Opening Firefox sends packets to Google IP e.g 34.149.100.209

I've been looking at firewall logs for my client and router software firewalls. My 3rd party firewall flags repeated outgoing TCP packets to IP 34.149.100.209 as coming from Firefox and 'Restricted', although restricted is the firewall apps syntax. When I look at the router firewall on WAN it was seeing the same IP outgoing. These packets only originate when Firefox (latest version) opens. Perhaps there's nothing to worry about or it's there to poll for those who want to select a Google search engine? Anyway, I've added a rule in the router to block the IP, although I think Google use other IPs.

There is plenty of web discussion to REMOVE restricted from Firefox but I want to make sure 'Restricted' in my case means BLOCKED, is that possible or do I misunderstand what restricted means? Thanks

I have over 100 open tabs spread over 4 Mac desktops. I can no longer access ANY of them after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26 and installing ESET Cyber Security Pro. I've used ESET with Firefox for many years without ANY problems. But now I have to choose between uninstalling ESET and being unprotected in order to use Firefox AT ALL. Every single webpage is blacked out with the message below. ESET support says that Firefox needs to issue an update to fix this problem.

I have be using Firefox Browser with Norton VPN turned on for a few years now without any problems. I was browsing and got connected to a website, then ever since Firefox stops working when Norton VPN is turned on. I tried uninstalling Firefox completely using software, and reinstalled Firefox it, with no success. The Virus scans are clean. I have a dual boot of Windows 10 and 11. I use Windows 10 the most. I changed to Windows 11 and had no problems with Firefox until I imported bookmarks from Windows 10's Firefox.

Hello,

Recently I have noticed 'Your browser is being managed by your organization. - That being ImportEnterpriseRoots' appearing in settings. I have seen this mentioned by others but as of yet I cannot see if it has been sorted yet. I have uninstalled and it went away, but it has since returned the following day. I Do not have any other anti-virus on this laptop other than Windows Defender so it cannot be that. I will not be using Firefox as default until this is gone, or at the very least know that its safe.
