Firefox Community Forum

I am facing an issue with Firefox where every time the browser updates, all of my accounts get logged out, including YouTube, ChatGPT, and other websites. I have already tried repairing, uninstalling, and reinstalling Firefox, but the problem still persists.

so for a few months, i was using the widgets in firefox which are the to-do list and focus timer. but one fine day (i guess the browser updated) the widgets have disappeared and i cannot find them in the settings or the customise option on the main screen. my current firefox version: 151.0.4 (64-bit). i have also selected the option for "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" but it auto updates. firefox gives me the option to roll back to 152.0.1.

i want the widgets back.

Dell recently re-installed my Firefox program but it seems to be an older version. Although I can find my bookmarks the bookmark toolbar is gone and that was a very handy feature. How do I update the program and get my toolbar back?

My Firefox program was recently re-installed by Dell. But it seems to be an older version and among other things I can't find my bookmark toolbar. So I'm hoping that updating Firefox will solver this problem.

Win 10

As of today, this was the situation (image 1). I had to do a manual update.

Also, when I first visited here today, I was not logged in. I 'd like to stay logged in. Then, I couldn't have been here for more than 15 seconds, and this appeared. How can a session be expired when there was no session? Is this part of the reason I don't stay logged in?

Out of nowhere, the Nightly browser starts with Windows & a new profile. This forces me to go to Settings to uncheck the setting for Nightly to start when I start Windows.

First, the setting "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" should never, ever be checked by default.

Second, this has happened on both my Win11 computers with Nightly. What is concerning is that somehow a Nightly update out of the blue created a brand new profile--I have a specific profile I use for my Nightly installs--with the start with Windows startup setting checked. This should not happen even with an alpha app like Nightly. The update process should only be using the profile running when the update process takes place.

This forces me to run the Firefox Profile Manager to delete the profile that was created out of the blue.

Honestly, if this is not addressed, I will have to stop using Firefox, Beta & Nightly. I have Firefox since it first was pre-version 1.0, but I refuse to use an app that thinks it is acceptable to make default a setting like Start with Windows startup.

FireFox Browser messed up my Internet Download Manager and made it impossible to copy and paste from MS WORD to my emails. Once I uninstalled IDM, I was able to copy and paste. I could not even open a picture in another TAB as before. So the browser was updated and messed everything up. I tried the MS EDGE browser, and it functioned like FireFox browser use to as of today.
