'bold text My updated version of firefox does not have my bookmarks, will not print all pages, will not allow to select print in color, will not display images in downloads only text.

I used Chrome until two days ago. I just got tired with how shitty the browser was, how bloated it made my computer, and how much Google treats everyone like a data product. However, I use hella google systems from Voice to Chrome to Drive to more and it all worked great together. Choosing to change to Firefox wasn't an easy decision but I knew it was a good one

Which makes it super irritating that some of the functionality is already facing problems. I have shortcuts I built to make it easier to study or do random things so I don't get distracted or tired. One shortcut is clicking a key that should launch UWorld in my default browser & use Lastpass to autologin (I couldn't get it to launch the service but that was a separate issue).

I check if autologin was on for the password on LastPass I've allowed all permissions to the LastPass extension I clear my cookies on UWorld & turned off enhanced tracking protection for the UWorld login portal site

What should I do to fix my one button shortcut again?

I really don't want to go randomly turning off every protection that Firefox gives me to figure it out so I'd appreciate someone who understands the browser better helping me out. Also, bonus points if you can help me build a single shortcut button on my Mac that can launch UWorld & navigate me straight to the question bank. (I do think the issue with autologin on LastPass is going to become more of an issue as I start opening up more websites I used to use on Chrome so I'd rather nip it in the bud before I see the problem occur more often)

Hi,

I've got a site that shows up in my addressbar that is no longer online. I use the other shortcuts regularly, so I'd prefer not to switch them off. Is it possible to delete the non-working shortcut?

Thankyou

1. I downloaded the latest Firefox from Mozilla official website, installed the app, made sure I can see the Firefox app in my applications. I start using the app. 2. Everything will be fine for a few days (say 1 week or 10 days) and one fine day, the browser stops working. Even google.com doesn't open. 3. I quit Firefox and try to re-start it. I cannot find Firefox in my system. It just disappeared. I cannot find in my applications. The search doesn't show Firefox.

I re-install by going back to step #1

This has happened not one time but many times. I searched if others have this issue but did not find anything that i could use. Hence posting this question here.

I have Firefox installed on a lot of other Macbook pros in my home, no other system has this issue. I don'ty understand what is happening. Just wanted to get some guidance in resolving this issue.

Thanks _Krishna

A few weeks ago I purchased a MacMini M4 and am unable to login to sync. MacOS and Firefox are up to date. When logging in to Firefox sync, I enter my email address and then password. I'm then prompted to enter the code sent to my email. I enter the code. I'm then prompted to enter the MFA code from my authentication app. I enter the code. An error shows up that says unable to process. I also deleted the Firefox app and the app data and reinstalled several times. I've tried logging in via Private Browsing. Nothing seems to work. I don't have any extensions installed or other applications or unnecessary processes running.

I have successfully logged into a MacBook Pro, a gaming PC desktop, an HP Windows 11 laptop, and a couple Linux devices and VMs...so I'm familiar with Firefox - been using it for forever. This is the only computer I can't seem to log into. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be helpful. Thank you.

Hello!

As you may know I have great El Capitan laptop - 10.11.6 which is good for over 15 years but suddenly they stopped supporting your browser. I am not able to go to online banking even computer is good. Can you help to do better upgrade on your browser please?

P.

My upper Apple menu is not visible unless I move the cursor up to the top of screen. This is the menu bar which includes the File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Window, Help, icons and clock. I can't find how to correct this.

Thank you.

I am looking for the folder a particular bookmark/web page is in. Steps I took: Open Bookmarks Manage bookmarks (which opens the Library) In the SEARCH box, I key in a search word, "intention" This brings up a list of possibilities, however it does not show me which folder the bookmark is in.

TIA for your assistance Carol

I'm trying to configure Firefox on Mac using our MDM. The goal is ultimately to control a bunch of settings, but I'm trying to start simple by just installing the 1Password extension.

When I deploy this .mobileconfig file, nothing seems to happen to Firefox. I made this by following the example at https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/mac/org.mozilla.firefox.plist but it doesn't seem to work and I am not sure how to debug.

Hi,

I've been getting a glitch while typing emails in Outlook Web Access for the last couple of days where superscript type in dates looks like the image attached. It was working fine until sometime this week. I've tried using Microsoft Edge and the issue doesn't happen so I'm thinking it might be browser specific.

I'm running Firefox Version 135.0.1 (aarch64) on a Mac Studio with Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70).

Can you advise please?

Thank you very much.

Calum.

Yesterday I could access my passwords saved in Firefox, but today there were only two & those were in an open window for passwords. How can I recover my list of passwords, please? I'm using a MacBook Air with an M3 chip, Sequoia 15.3.1 Thanks so much!

I tried to print directly from a website, but it will not print. If I print an image or PDF, it will print just fine. I am currently using Firefox 135.0.1 on a macOS Sequoia 15.3.

Firefox is creating very high CPU use with many WebThumbnailExtension Web Connect processes. The processes disappear after shutting down Firefox and other programs that access the internet. Does anyone have an answer on how to prevent this from happening?

MacBook Pro M4 with MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1

I just migrated from an older Mac to a newer one running Mac OS 15 (Sequoia) and none of my bookmarks, autofill info, passwords, cookies and browsing history etc migrated to the new version (135) of firefox that I downloaded. When I check the updates section of 128.7, it says it's up to date, but I know you can run 135 on Sequoia, so that's why I downloaded 135. When I looked at the profile folder in 135, which is existing separately on the Mac from 128.7, I noticed that it was pointed at the folder with release in its name that was inside the profile folder. In 128.7 it's pointed at the other folder with default in the name (the profile folder only seems to contain two folders). How do I get all of my old info to migrate to 135? Or how do I get 135 to point at the proper folder inside of the Profile folder?

Thanks

When printing the same page repeatedly, FF gets increasingly slower and slower each time until it is downright ridiculously slow and takes up to a minute, perhaps more, to get to the print menu. However, if you reload the page, printing is instantaneous (at least for the first or second time). Some history or memory management problems?

FF Version 135.0 (64-bit) on MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.3.1

One test case would be https://api.razzlepuzzles.com/cryptogram. Keep selecting New Game from the pull-down menu on the right and try printing as PDF (or anything else).

Since the latest Sequoia 15.3.1 update and the latest Firefox update, when I click on a link in a page, I often get a message that it "didn't redirect properly" and I have to click on the address bar to make the page finally appear.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS 15.3.1.
