Firefox Community Forum

Also McAffee notification with all these popups stating that my McAffee protection expired yesterday - I have never had a McAffee notification for a virus or pair for protection from them. Popups are happening every 10 seconds continuously! looks like about 20 or more popups describing different problems with 20 digit numbers and letters as a serial number of the problem!

My entire Firefox account has disappeared, bookmarks, passwords, email, history, everything. I shut down my Mac Airbook when I left town Tuesday, powered up when I got home today and when i clicked on my Firefox icon at the bottom of the page, a new, unrecognizable Firefox page appeared asking for a signon rather than my default page, my email. Can you help me recover everything? Lloyd

[article] This article claims there is an "AI Controls" section in Settings. This is not found in v 147.03 (up to date) for Mac. Please let me know how to disable all AI in Firefox.

The Firefox advertising page

I clicked on the Wellnee link and their site is rigged to extort money! I chose the product (advertised as a discount), entered my bank details then instead of buying the product, I'm sent to a page where aside from just leaving the page, I find that i have to order 3 more of the same product, if I want to get the discount, so I exited the page, only to find that not only had I been charged for the original (without the discount!) but an additional charge had been taken!!!

Then I get a text message saying they couldn't connect to my email, so everything is done through texts (they had my email). When I went to their site they use a fake US phone number; there's no email, only a form (does it work?)

The fake US +1(844)961-3766

And why can't I contact Mozilla directly rather than this forum?

Second time asking for help: Firefox "hangs" for 30-60 seconds the first time I open it on my MacBook Pro. Am running Firefox 148.0 (aarch64) on Mac OS Tahoe 26.3.1. This has been going on for three months. Have tried uninstalling Firefox and using AppZap to erase my Mozilla profile from the Mac -- rebooting the Mac -- and re-downloading a fresh copy of Firefox. I shut the Mac down for about an hour, rebooted, and Firefox launched right away. But the next time I launched Firefox on reboot, it "hung" again. Spinning beach ball for about 45 seconds before it then opened its default page at open. I do not run a VPN, and disabled some Safe Browsing "features" of Intego Virus Barrier.I tried to eliminate any other third-party extensions from my Firefox that might cause the delay. Am attaching an image of the extensions Firefox currently uses on the Mac. I absolutely <loathe> Safari, but can't have my Mac use Firefox as a default browser if it "hangs" on first launch. One last thing. Early on in the process, I tried deleting my Mozilla Firefox User Profile, but Firefox refused to start because it couldn't find a profile to launch with. So did not go there on this last attemt. Thanks in advance.

I am using Firefox 148.0 and Mac Tahoe 26.3.1.

When I click on a link in an email, two Firefox windows open. The window to the link opens, along with my homepage window, so two windows are opening in Firefox instead of just the one containing the link address. This is happening when using Thunderbird. However, I have tested this using Apple Mail and Outlook, and the same problem occurs. This problem happens whether I have Firefox already open or not. I have opened the email links with Firefox running in Troubleshoot / Safe mode and the problem persists. I have also cleared Firefox cache / site data / history and the problem concerning email links is still there. This problem arose after installing Firefox 148.0.

Anyone able to help solve this problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this report.

when I click a url link from mail it opens a new firefox window instead of a new tab on existing window. I like to keep all tabs in one open firefox window. Firefox crashed last night and lost all of my tabs; I was able to restore but now having issues with email url links opening in a stand-alone new window - HOW do I revert to former option?

I use Firefox on a Mac to access Brightspace for my classes. I also use Grammarly. When copying text from the Grammarly widgets and pasting it into the Brightspace HTML editor, the text is stripped of hard returns, causing paragraphs to collapse without any breaks between them.

I have tried pasting as unformatted text, and the issue persists. This issue does not occur in Chrome, so I suspect it is due to how Firefox handles clipboard data. I have not found a workaround or resolution for this.

Topic is Extensions. How do we get an extension to be recommended by Mozilla? Maybe we can upvote to do this.

"Gmail Conversation Reversal" - likely the first one with the most reviews and most recently updated. SS attached.

Thanx

This is the most annoying behavior. For the most time I would like to use panel once or twice a day to ask some question to continue on conversation in some chat but whenever I close the AI chat-bot panel it resets its context and throws me onto the default page of the provider of my choosing. I have to click my way into the proper chat every time. Could a chat-bot panel keep its context or keep it session at the place where I left it?
