Emojis do not show on Firefox 146 on macOS. I downgraded to 145.0.2 and they do show, so it seems related to Firefox 146.

I have macOS 26.2 running in both test cases.

Emoji in question: 👨🏻💻

Hello community,

I've been moved to MacOS at work and since then, Firefox will not always restore my pinned sites when I start it the next day.

Here is what I do:

1. Right click a tab, select "Pin Tab"
2. Go about my day
3. At the end of the day, I close Firefox by using command Q and shutdown my Mac
4. The next day, I start Firefox and most of the time, my pins are gone

I did not have this issue on Windows Firefox. I am using MacOS 26.5.2 and Firefox 152.0.4 Firefox says "Your browser is being managed by your organization" in settings. It is a link that can be clicked and the only active policy showing there is "DisableAppUpdate" which I assume is because we have our own tool to manage software updates.

Any idea what could cause my pinned tabs to disappear? I did not really customize the settings so far, I do NOT clear browsing data when exiting FF and the startup option "Open previous windows and tabs" is NOT selected. I have Ecosia and 1Password as plugins.

Any help appreciated, thank you.

On some forums - not this one - I am unable to complete the relevant text box to compose a reply. EG the Devon forum: https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/sync-between-mac-and-ipad-works-and-iphone-not-working/87390/7 No text appears and the text box is completely inoperative. The problem is not confined to that site, but I have experienced similar on other Forums.

I use Ublock Origin which I thought might be causing a problem but disabling it has no effect, neither does disabling Little Snitch. As a result I've concluded this is probably caused by something in my settings but I don't know which or where to look.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Mac Mini M2 Pro; MacOS 15.7.8. Firefox 153.0.1 (British English)

macOS Tahoe, Firefox 152.0.3 macOS settings include "Appearance - Auto"; i.e. system switches from light to dark at sunset. While the "top area" (tabs, address bar, bookmarks bar) of Firefox follows this - some of the pages themselves do NOT???

I found this website which was at top of the search results. I tried to follow it, but it seems to be badly outdated in certain key respects: esp wrt a setting called "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" in about:config. I set this to "True", but may have screwed this up!! First question: Should I "reset" this somehow?

Finally: To get at the primary question, there are two "sub-questions" that may explain my confusion more clearly:

1. Is there no ***simple way*** to get Firefox & webpages I view to follow macOS Light/Dark appearance?? What are the CORRECT steps?

2. Do individual webpages have the ability to "decide for themselves" whether or not they will adhere to the system light/dark settings. This may well be an officially "stupid question", but while "most" webpages remain "Light" (including this Support page), a few pages appear dark.

Thanks, ~S

My question is how do I temporarily remove my bookmarks. I have many bookmarks, hundreds, and I want to disable them temporarily for a few days so they can't be seen by another person using my computer. How can I disable them, but then make them all reappear a few days later? Can someone help? Appreciate the help. Thank you.

I cannot login into a website because they complain that I have an old version of PHP. Is that already included in Firefox? I am using Firefox Vers. 143.0.4 on a MacBook Air with MacOS Big Sur, Vers. 11.7.10 Shall I go to the PHP website and download PHP?

I want to cancel my subscription and get a refund but I already deleted my account. I read all the directions but can't find the links to make this all happen. I would appreciate some help. Than you,

Firefox updated on my macbook pro running Sequoia 15.5 but failed to restore my previously open windows. The option to restore previous session was missing. How can I get my previously open windows back, bearing in mind I'm not not a computer nerd? Thank you, Edouard.

Since the latest Firefox update, I cannot load my primary banking account, and one of my work websites won't load. I can access both of these sites on other browsers.

Hi,

when I try to access the Gallery photos page on OneDrive, especially in the 'For you' section, I get a gray screen and nothing happens. When I check the console, it shows the issues I've captured in the screenshot. I tried this on Mac and Ubuntu with a fresh profile and a clear internet connection. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Firefox Version is the latest 142.0.1 No problem with Vivaldi, Chrome etc.

Thanks, Dirk

The errors I get are kind of all over the place though. I've completely deleted and reinstalled Firefox, and removed all extensions too.

It will loop to the login screen over and over, or I get the message 'An error has happened, try again later'...

I used the browser console and didn't get anything that seemed usable. I use Strava nearly every day so I'm having to use Safari. And this issue is on all of the mac and Windows systems I use. 'Troubleshooting Mode' didn't work either.

Help!

I run a mac mini with OS X Catalina. I keep to that operating system as a number of my work apps work better. I am on the latest version of Firefox (64 bit) 144.0

In the last couple of years I have found webforms on Firefox seem to omit links or progress buttons like CONTINUE. When I check with the issuer or my colleagues I find they all use CHROME.

I have wasted a great deal of time on what I would have thought is a Minimum requirement issue.

Please give me one reason why I should stay with Firefox and not change to Chrome

thank you

I'm encountering some difficulties with my current account, which is locked out. I would like to request assistance from the support team to help me delete my account and remove my personal information from the platform. However, I'm having trouble finding the contact information for the support team. I couldn't locate their email address or phone number, and I'm hesitant to post my personal email address and information on a public forum.

I'm feeling quite frustrated, as I've never encountered such challenges with an app before. It appears that I'm unable to reach the Firefox support team at the moment. Can someone please provide guidance on how I can securely and privately request their assistance in deleting my account and personal information?

I had to create a new account just to post this question because my original account got locked out. This happened because I recently acquired a new phone and didn't transfer the two-step authentication information to my new device.

!. link to youtube only flashes then plays only audio. Full video requires opening link in a new private browser window

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.

When I start VPN, it brings me to a page to choose a subscription, but I have a yearly subscription paid in November 2025. Then my Mozilla account says I am logged on but when I click on the application icon I get a circular icon in the window with a cancel button underneath it. See attachment.

When I use Facebook with my Firefox browser the site just has to many issues. The site keeps hanging up and just sort of stalls out when I try to access messages and notifications that I download from the site. I took the suggestion of clearing my cache. That did nothing. Clearing my history didn't make a difference either. Being this problem doesn't happen with Chrome or Safari, it must be a Firefox problem. So, what more can I do to make using Facebook with Firefox a better experience? Sure would appreciate help.

So I've been looking for the saved payment methods in my browser since I got a new card.

I realized that it is gone and that has 2 consequences for me.

1. I Cannot for the life of me remove the currently old saved one.

And

2. I do not want to save the new actual one, since I seem to have no control of my saved cards and will not be able to remove it.

Also I made Firefox stop asking, but it does not get the memo and keeps asking to save my new card.

So the common thing is that the saved cards should be in "about:preferences#privacy" under "Autofill" and there should be a button that says "Saved payment methods".

There is media on this. pictures etc. youtube videos and it is a box that appears when you press it unlike about:logins which is a tab in itself, so accessing it this way seems to be no option.

Doing some digging and found this article https://support.mozilla.org/kn/questions/1443578 It does not work for me being in DK.

Downloaded a older version of firefox 142.0 to be specefik and it does have to feature / Button but, it also does not have any data.

So what gives Mozilla? Why did you remove the button and why is the data locked away?

Included are images of current version (146.0.1) having the button removed and 142 having the button.
