After updating to newest Firefox 140.0.2 (64-bit) does all PDF attachment stop working it doesn't offer to save or open them as it used to, we tried sending a Doc document to the email and it will download them and open them so it is only PDF files.

I tried new profile with blank slate on her PC.

OS: Windows 11 Have Bit defender security and Malwarebytes

I also tried on my PC logging into the work email as neither me or wife use Apple and same problem PDF attachments will not open or work.

I didn't create a new blank profile on my PC.

My PC: Windows 10 Enterprise Have same Bit Defender security and Malwarebytes

It worked in 139.0.4 for her, but downgrading is not a option as if I read the downgrade page right it will make a new profile making her loose the profile she is using now.

Do anyone have any ideas why after the update does Firefox now not open PDF Attachments, we tried Edge and it work fine there, if she forward from the work email to her private which is a gmail account she can open the PDF files, but that is not a good way of doing things or acceptable as it is work emails sent from companies her boss work with, he is a car mechanic with his own mechanic business.

Please tell me what details you need from me to help her find out why it stopped working or anything else I can try.

The Work place is just her and her boss plus 1 employee so I help with the IT on the work computer so I need to find out why this update stopped PDF attachments from working.

I have a Mac - version MacOS High Sierra. I am an 'oldie'. I wish to add an additional email address in Mail {to enable me to register with a new Doctors Practice as well as my hubby] but cannot as I am told that the version is not secure enough. For years I have shared my husbands email address [neither of us are technically trained or minded]. I have attempted to update my Firefox version but cannot do so as my menu does not show the 'About Firefox' option from where I hope to begin. Can anyone please advise me how I can update Firefox plus add an additonal email in my Mail option. Fairly simple instructions would help. I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can give please.

I am unable to get access to my Gmail accounts. Every time I select a bookmark link to Google email I get server time out error pages. I have looked at Windows 10(64) Firewall settings and I do not find anything blocking Firefox from accessing the internet(Inbound or Outbound Rules) are set to allow. NordVPN is not set to block any program or connection. I have never seen anything block access to Google.com or any related pages within Google. HELP Please!

I was planning to start using the AI chatbot sidebar finally, tried out all of the free options available and settled on HuggingChat. The very next day, HuggingChat ceased operations. I don't really like the other preset options, but I have a couple of other models that I would be interested in trying out. Is there some way to add a different model than the five preset or am I just out of luck?

Please,

I have a Debian 11 VAIO laptop, with Firefox ESR 115.14.0esr 64.

I have tried the settings menus (there is nothing about translation there, not even in languages.

Tried as well the about:config (several entries).

Nothing happens, annoying auto-translation bar shows up all the time and automatically translates several languages.

Really can't stand any longer...

Please help!

Appreciate.

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!

Recently I have been unable to go to websites where I have had accounts for years. I can no longer access sites like Chewy, Etsy, and even Pinterst. On the latest failure to sign in to Etsy the message I got is "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker" I don't want to learn another browser. Please understand I'm a senior so not as savy as you young folks. My Firefox browser is 140.0 so it is up to date

Hello.

I use Firefox on an computer with Ubuntu, (installed as snap) and have noticed that since the update to version 140 (specifically, version 140.0 canonical-002-1.0), closing a tab causes a noticeable delay : that is, upon any action that would close a tab (clicking on the cross, pressing CTRL+w, or middle clicking), there is a delay of about 200 to 300 ms before the tab is actually closed.

However, during this delay, the window still responds to inputs, leading to rather annoying situations. For example, during regular usage, I usually open a great number of tabs. When I am done with browsing, I close them, by repeatedly clicking the cross button on the tabs. It used to be that the tab under the cursor would immediately close, then the next tab would slide under the cursor, and I would click again to close that one, etc.

But now, when clicking the cross button, the tab is not closed, and when I click again after a small delay (because of muscle memory), the tab is still there. This cause the two single clicks to be treated as a single double-click, which for some reason puts the window in full-screen mode (but only with the snap version; I'm not sure what's going on here).

When using CTRL+w when closing tabs, the delay is still there, but the inputs are correctly handled. If I press CTRL+w three times at the usual rate, I can see the three key presses, then nothing happens for a few instants, then the three tabs close at the same time (i.e. the delay is from input to tab close, not from tab close to other tab close).

This behaviour is completely absent on Firefox (also version 140) on my windows computer.

This delay does not appear when creating tabs, and it does not occur either when closing the window or when closing the last tab in the window (leading to an amusing situation where shutting down Firefox is actually faster then closing a tab). These operation keep going at their previous speed, immeasurably fast to the human eye.

Navigation does not appear to be meaningfully slower than before the update, and the CPU/memory usage is very reasonable.

Curiously, this appears to be a fixed delay. Closing an empty tab takes the same time as closing a very busy one. Closing a tab when there are five takes the same time as closing a tab when there are thirty.

This issue makes browsing feel incredibly sluggish.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

Edit 1 : I have tried to run Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but there was no difference in behaviour. Edit 2 : Fixed typo. Edit 3 : Added exact version. I also tried to refresh Firefox, but the issue remained. Edit 4 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.1 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 5 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.2 canonical-002-1.0.

I use Firefox as my default browser. We I download something (a program update, an xlsx file from my back) I get a downlaod failed, so I have to use another browser to download it.

How can one search for bookmark-folders? (not a a bookmark contained by a folder) I have my bookmarks sorted in a tree-like structure via bookmark folders. It would be essential to me to be able to search for the folder in a search bar (like in the bookmark sidebar), since I have many folders/sub-folders.

I tried to add maps.coogle.com to a specific container. this ends opening maps forparts of a second in this container displaying the cookie content page. regardles if a agree or not, it opens the cookie consent page in a new tab (looping forever) is there a way to add a site to a specific container using a config file? is here a way to add a site to a container, without having the subsites after the TLD, in the URL

Kind regards

I have spent the past month trying to get things done on the web and on every site I have encountered something that failed to work properly. In your case the "Mark It As Solved" button on you emails doesn't work. So even though my issues were resolved (Not by your help), I can't tell you that.

Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

I asked for an export of my saved Pocket articles and when I click on the link sent I get this:
