I am using FF 158 on Win11

I noticed that apps after login are being restored with my previous session even if i close the browser and restart the browser!

ways to reproduce the problem: - Login to an app - Exit the browser, ensure the Firefox.exe is not running using Task Manager - Restart the browser and go to the same app URL. - At this point I expect the app to prompt for a password again (It does prompt for a login on Chrome and other browsers including FF 154) however on FF 158 the session is still active!

I have checked the settings in FF 158 and disabled the restore Tabs option on startup however the bug still exists.

This is a serious security issue. Kindly investigate and address

Hello,

I use Firefox on Windows 11 and it is up to date. I use Youtube and for the last week or so it has been a little weird. You cannot click on links for videos to load. Youtube will tell me that I am off line even though the PC is connected to the internet.

The comments underneath are not displayed at all. I only see grey bars and the circle for loading.

If you click on the 3 bars on the top left I only get a message about copy rights....

I did delete all the cookies, history, refreshed.

Youtube does display o.k. in edge.

Is this a problem with Firefox or youtube?

Firefox has exceeded all previous mess-ups by upgrading itself today (apparently sometime when my battery went flat and was then left recharging), and this happened despite my account being set for 'upgrades to be only installed manually'. Now every bookmark, all passwords and all the settings of my Home Page have been erased. I have no 'restore point' to resort to as supposedly all this info is synced to the cloud. But I can find no method to retrieve any of these files let alone one to restore them. This is a nightmare. Please help.

Every time there is an update, Firefox creates a new profile and hides all passwords etc. It is therefore impossible to work with it now. With 157 I now have a worthless Firefox, because all links, passwords, settings etc have been cleared and a new profile has been created.

How do I recover the normal additional toolbar in firefox that shows options for maps, images, videos etc. This toolbar is no longer shown on firefox - perhaps it's because firefox has recently been updated and no longer gives that facility?

ΜΠΟΡΕΙΤΕ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ ΝΑ ΜΕ ΒΟΗΘΗΣΕΤΕ ΝΑ ΑΠΑΛΛΑΓΩ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑ ΠΟΥ ΜΟΥ ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΕΙΤΕ ΕΠΙ ΣΕΙΡΑ ΜΗΝΩΝ? ΕΚΑΝΑ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΙΟΥΛΙΟ 2026 καλημέρα, παρακαλώ πολύ πείτε μου τι ειδους ιστορια ειναι αυτή στην εικόνα που σας στέλνω? τι πρόβλημα υπάρχει με αυτή την εφαρμογή που έχει κατέβει τόσες φορέσ στον Η/Υ μου & προσπαθεί να εγκατασταθει κατά την εκκίνηση του? ενω την έχω ήδη εγκατεστημένη εδώ και χρόνια? πως θα απαλλαγώ απο αυτή την διαδικασία? δεν αντιλαμβάνεται ότι την έχω εγκατεστημένη?

ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΗ ΠΟΥ ΕΛΑΒΑ Η εικόνα δείχνει τις ρυθμίσεις των Εφαρμογών Εκκίνησης (Startup Apps) των Windows, όπου το Firefox εμφανίζεται πολλές φορές, αλλά είναι ήδη απενεργοποιημένο («Ανενεργό»). Δεν πρόκειται για πολλαπλές εγκαταστάσεις του προγράμματος στον υπολογιστή σας, ούτε για προσπάθεια εκ νέου εγκατάστασης. Το πρόβλημα οφείλεται σε διπλότυπες εγγραφές στο Μητρώο (Registry) των Windows, οι οποίες δημιουργούνται συνήθως μετά από διαδοχικές αυτόματες ενημερώσεις (updates) του Firefox, χωρίς το λειτουργικό σύστημα να διαγράφει τις παλιές καταχωρήσεις εκκίνησης.

ΞΑΝΑΚΑΝΩ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΙ ΣΕΠΤΕΜΒΡΙΟ 26 Καλημέρα, Παρακαλώ πολύ, είχαμε συζητήσει για αυτή την προκλητική και ανυπόφορη εφαρμογή στις 30/7/2026, σχεδόν 2 μήνες μετα εμφανίζεται κατά διαστήματα η ίδια ενοχλητική συμπεριφορά της, θα την είχα ΔΙΑΓΡΑΨΕΙ ΟΡΙΣΤΙΚΑ απο το pc μου, αλλά δυστυχώς την υπομένω λόγω χρησιμότητας μιας λογιστικής εφαρμογής. Καλά δεν γνωρίζουν οι δημιουργοί της τα προβλήματα που δημιουργεί και σας είχα περιγράψει, πώς θα απαλλαγώ οριστικα απο αυτα? έχετε κάποια ιδέα, Αυτοί έκαναν κάτι για αυτά? Έβγαλαν κάποια ανακοίνωση πως διορθώνουμε αυτά τα προβλήματα? 25 Σεπτεμβρίου 2026 ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΗ ΠΟΥ ΕΛΑΒΑ Καλημέρα σας. Καταλαβαίνω απόλυτα την αγανάκτησή σας. Είναι πραγματικά εξοργιστικό να αντιμετωπίζετε την ίδια αυθαίρετη συμπεριφορά από μια εφαρμογή που κρατάτε στον υπολογιστή σας μόνο και μόνο από ανάγκη για τη δουλειά σας. Οι δημιουργοί του Firefox (Mozilla) γνωρίζουν το πρόβλημα, καθώς αποτελεί γνωστό Bug που προκύπτει από τη σύγκρουση της έκδοσης του Microsoft Store με τα Windows 11. Δυστυχώς, επειδή πρόκειται για πρόβλημα που επηρεάζει κυρίως τη συνεργασία του Store με το Μητρώο, η Mozilla δεν έχει εκδώσει κάποιο μαγικό κουμπί διόρθωσης, με αποτέλεσμα οι μεγάλες ενημερώσεις των Windows να «σπάνε» τις ρυθμίσεις ασφαλείας που είχαμε κάνει στο Μητρώο (Registry).

Firefox 158 – Incorrect Date and Time Field Display in Hebrew (RTL)

Hello Mozilla Support,

I'm experiencing an issue with how Firefox displays date and time input fields on websites when using Hebrew (Israel).

    • Environment:**

- Firefox version: 158.0 (64-bit) - Operating system: Windows - Browser interface language: Hebrew - Regional locale: he-IL

    • The problem:**

Date fields are displayed in the format YYYY.MM.DD (for example, 2026.10.14) instead of DD/MM/YYYY (14/10/2026).

Time fields also sometimes display their components in an incorrect order, apparently due to right-to-left (RTL) handling.

This issue occurs across multiple websites, including the standard HTML date input example on MDN, so it is not specific to any particular website.

    • Troubleshooting already performed:**

1. Verified Windows regional settings: Hebrew (Israel), short date format dd/MM/yyyy, and time format HH:mm. 2. Verified Firefox regional preferences show he-IL. 3. Tested intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales with both true and false. 4. Tested intl.locale.requested with he,en-US, he-IL,en-US, and he-IL. 5. Changed the preferred website language order to prioritize he-IL. 6. Restarted Firefox after making changes.

Unfortunately, the date issue persists, and the time field display is also inconsistent.

    • Expected behavior:**

Date fields should display DD/MM/YYYY, and time fields should display HH:mm in the correct visual order, while keeping the Firefox interface in Hebrew.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known Firefox bug and whether there is a supported workaround or a planned fix?

Thank you.

Hello, thanks for allowing me to ask a question. I would like to know how to change the Primary Accent color in Mozilla Nightly to a mid grey color. Even when I try new themes, the funky Pink/Purple highlight is present. Where is it getting this and how can it be modified. I've read the help pages, and have even had info sent, and that's rather confusing because I've changed the userContent.css and userChrome.css files as the pages I've ready advises. Again it's confusing and it doesn't seem to work. I've even set the toolbar legacy to true in the config:about settings. Nothing seems to work and it's frustrating.

It looks to me like the RT's URL was hacked yesterday. I received a warning from Firefox urging me to go back because of suspected for malware found when I attempted to log into RT. I backed off as suggested. I have successfully logged into RT hundreds of times using without any problem, using my Firefox bookmark. The Firefox warning told me that the suspected malware was due to the fact that https was missing in the address, which is highly irregular for the RT website. The details of the address in the bookmark is https:///www.rt.com, yet when I clicked the enter button, the https had disappeared. RT streams news on Rumble and I successfully used it instead of the RT website.

Later in the day I found information that the RT website could now be used. I tried it using my bookmark. RT opened but there ere changes in the appearance on the page. There was big new banner at the top of the page announcing that I was on RT English. All the images except one were missing and I was unable to access RT news streaming. Today I again checking the bookmark address I have used for a lng time. Today I find the Firefox URL still gives me https://www.rt.com but when I press the enter button the address now changes to https://rt-english.com. When I manually asked Firefox to open rt-english.com, Firefox told me that address does not exist.

This is the best I can do to explain the problem I am encountering, and I need help to resolve the issue. Perhaps other Firefox users have run into the problem and would be grateful for help from Firefox. I am a using Firefox and it is an excellent browser. Thanks for all your good work.

Recently downloaded an update to Firefox and installed it. Now it says I have a new recovery key but I can seem to get it to show me the key. There is a link that I found that says: View Recovery Key, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I would have expected that it would have revealed the key and I could then save it for later use if needed.

I can't implement the suggested solution

• Open your profile folder: Windows: C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\

because no Mozilla folder is being found

No Firefox folder is being found either.

My laptop did something funky upon booting up. It showed a "Desktop" and then a "Desktop 2", for what that's worth.
