I'd like to use my Mozilla VPN on a new GL.iNet Slate 7 travel router, which has OpenWrt + OpenVPN firmware. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2MR53D6) Their instructions say if I want to use any VPN other than Nord, I need to get an OpenVPN config file from my VPN provider and upload it to the router.

Canadian provinces of BC, AB, and MB are all moving to new timezones on Nov 1, 2026.

Firefox still does not support any of the new timezones. This will break automatic timezone support for many applications, if not addressed immediately.

For the new timezone: Pacific Time (British Columbia): - Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone returns "Etc/GMT+8" instead of the expected value 'America/Vancouver' - new Date().getTimezoneOffset() returns 480 instead of the expected 420

There is only a few days left to address this issue. What is the rollout plan for the required updates?

Thanks.

In your "wisdom" with your "improved" site, when I log into my AARP website, they have attempted to email me a one time code which , obviously, has been blocked.

Of course, they blame you and now I can not log unto my AARP.

Thanks for your "improvements".

PLEASE FIX AND EMAIL ME (WHICH I HOPE WILL GO THROUGH) WITH SOLUTION!

I sometimes experience issues when accessing web-based email services through Firefox and want to understand whether browser settings or extensions could affect them. When using a bulk email service provider such as iDealSMTP, what Firefox settings should users check to troubleshoot email-related issues? Have you experienced similar problems when accessing a bulk email service provider through Firefox?

This is the 2nd issue arising from a v158.0.1 update disaster. FF won't print a page: it seems to start, and then blanks the screen, returns to windows wallpaper. the printer stirs but prints nothing. The printer tested OK from the windows test page. As recommended in the fix suggestions, I tried the clear printer option in troubleshooting, but that does not work. How do I fix this??

This category seemed the most appropriate from the list. Bookmarks are the first of 2 issues I need help with.

On my first start after upgrading to v158, all my bookmarks are missing, normally shown in a sidebar. All the suggested means of getting bookmarks back via a profile simply did not work: the restore panel asks for a file and all the various bookmarks in a profile are in a folder. the 2 did not mix. I do have exported bookmarks as a json file, but obviously it's hidden for FF, but not for explorer. Nothing recommended in the articles worked. In frustration, I removed the software and downloaded a new copy. Same issues applied. I copied the latest json file to the desktop, and restored it from there. AND after a restart, there were none of those bookmarks on the browser page. BUT selecting managing bookmarks and there they all are.

So how do I get the bookmarks from the management page to the normal user interface??

I have no issues on other sites, even sites with embedded video content.

YouTube, however, performs extremely poorly whenever it is the active tab. Page loading is extremely slow visually - the page itself appears to be loaded, but elements haven't appeared, and some elements that should disappear when video playback begins (the YouTube logo, or the play/pause icons) persist on top of the video. Buttons and icons on the page are extremely slow to respond, even scrolling is very slow, and sometimes even mouse movement is slow - clicks take anything up to 15 seconds to register, and it takes several seconds for hover highlighting to appear.

Video playback, when it starts, may not actually be shown - that is, the audio plays, but nothing happens on-screen. Pressing pause often takes several seconds.

And, closing and reloading the tab often takes far too long as well - as in, the time between when I actually click the reload or close, and Firefox actually responds.

Sometimes, I will get the warning banner that the site is slow, but not always. If the banner appears, as long as the video is already playing clicking 'Stop' on the banner seems to resolve the issues (but, I can't use functions like the comment box, 'like' button, search bar, etc). If I do this without the video playing, I can't start the video - the playback controls no longer work.

I am reluctant to turn off uBlockOrigin or Disconnect to use YouTube. I've tried disabling other extensions to see if it makes any difference, and I've also tried switching off hardware acceleration and using the recommended performance settings instead. I haven't found any way to force YouTube to only show videos at 720p at most, but I've tried switching videos to 720p (and where I can, away from 60FPS). It makes no difference.

Are there more fine-grained performance settings that I'm missing? Is there something obvious I'm missing? It seems that it's literally only YouTube that performs this badly, and only for about the last two weeks.

new in 158 states:

"Ad Blocker uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter list to determine what gets blocked. There’s no separate extension to install, and you can turn it on in Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker. It’s off by default, so you decide whether to use it."

There IS NO SETTINGS > BROWSING tab in settings. Where is this? and why is the doc even wrong?!!!

I'm running 158.0.1 on windows 10 pro.

Latest Stable Firefox, windows, over 4000 tabs. Overall Firefox works great for me. but when I restart it to install the latest versions etc, it only restores one active/loaded tab per window. Rest are restored, but in a closed/unloaded state. I usually have 5-20 open tabs per window, and hundreds more unloaded, it's how I work. How on earth can I get it to restore all the open/loaded tabs as they were, not in the unloaded state they default to?

Issue still occurs in a new install with no addons, default settings, under 30 tabs etc. Ditto Win 10 or 11.

Also, how on earth can I get official Mozzilla pages to use Dark Mode??

Network Protocol Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected. What can you do about it? The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.
