Firefox Community Forum

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:

 "name": "eBird reviewer utilities",
 "version": "1.3.46",

to

 "name": "eBird reviewer assistant",
 "version": "1.3.47",

(This was sufficient for Chrome.)

Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.

I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)

However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)

So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?

i AM SICK OF THIS. eVERYTHING i HAVE ALREADY IS PROTECTED. i DO NOT NEED fIREFOX BLOCKING ME OR SENDING MESSAGES TO A PHONE THAT IS DOWNSTAIRS. do YOU KNOW HOW IRRITATING THIS> i GUESS IT IS TIME TO FIRE YOU AND FIND ANOTHER BROWSER THAT IS NOT DISRUPTING MY LIFE.

Whhhhyyyyyy am I suddenly unable to access certain parts of the Delta.com website?? I had no problem with the website re my outbound flight and now I can't access any info on my return flight on their "flight details" page. They had to send me a screenshot of what they had on their screen because I cannot get it on my own screen. I am worried as I get closer to my departure date that I still will not be able to access my flight info and will not be able to check-in! They told me to change browsers! Help! 😳

Hi,

I am pretty mad at the iOS team since the latest release came out. I use Firefox for iOS for a long time now and the latest version has the most annoying bug I have ever encountered on a browser: it erases all of my cookies. FF 142.0.1 on iOS 18 first did this last Friday, when the loading of a web page was slowed down because of a network issue. When it resumed, my connexion to the website’s session was lost because the cookie was gone too. But it not only erased this website’s cookie, it erased ALL of the cookies contained in FF. Which is fucking annoying. And it did it again ten minutes ago, without any reason. I would also like to mention that the browsing is quite slow and the app tends to freeze way faster than before. It’s not the first time FF upsets me because of bugs, but such a mismanagement of something as fundamental as a cookie is not acceptable and I would very much like this bug to get fixed quite promptly. Thank you for your attention.

For some reason all of a sudden my bookmarks don't show their identification icons that are associated with that web site. Those icons are to the immediate left of the site address. I used to use those colored icons as a quick reference to select the web site I wanted. Being I have MANY bookmarks, those icons to the left weer a GREAT help to locating a specific bookmark.

   How do I get my bookmarks to show the way they used to show before? Is there a way to show my bookmarks to a earlier date? Maybe that way my bookmarks will show the way they used to ?
   Can someone please help. This new bookmark menu listing I now see is not user friendly! Thank you.

Your new home page "recommended stories" are now categorized under topics (Popular, Science, Education, etc.) I blocked the category of "politics" and it no longer shows that category in the customization menu as an option. Furthermore, there was a Travel category that I wanted to see regularly but it has completely disappeared (as of today)! (I was just reading from it last night!) So frustrating.

I went into the settings to see if I could coral these categories, but both politics and travel are missing from the list. Please see attached screen shot from the customization settings tab. Furthermore, I'd like to know if these "topics" can be saved in the order that I'd like to see them.

I'd appreciate any help. thanks.

I was on the ESR channel and after the recent updates to 142.01 or 141 the ESR is missing from the about Firefox. I had got the tab groups option a few updates back and liked it. This latest update changed how a tab group collapses, instead of showing only the tab group name and collapsing all the tabs it leaves one open wasting space when I have several other tabs open. At least I don't see any sign of the annoying AI junk getting in the way yet. I thought you had a choice to stay on the ESR channel according to this link and others. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-support-windows-10-end-support I'll probably be forced to update to Windows 11 to do my taxes next year but I thought at least I could stay on the ESR channel to avoid new features getting in the way.

Hello,

Pixel 8 und Pixel 10 Android 16 und 15

when I want to download a podcast from ARD Podcast, I can click "Download," but the "Download" button is missing from the subsequent window. With Duckduck, it's no problem.

the download button is missing here on the right side

I have a problem while reading newspapers/magazines in firefox i see all the text and pictures to start with but when i zoom it disappear as the added screenshot show. Any setting i might change to get it to work?

Hello, I'm bilingual French/English. I browse in French, 90 % of the time (Using Firefox and DuckDuckGo). Unfortunately, more and more often, search results bring up sites which are obviously produced by AI sources for an English-speaking audience then automatically translated into French., which isn't what I'm looking for. For instance, If I look for some information on a medical condition, I get tons of answers from unknown and dubious sources and the content is very obviously Ai-related and translated into French. It's as if all the trustworthy sites (in English or French language) I used to easily access have been downgraded and sent to the bottom of the web never to be accessed again. This is really frightening. Any clues how to avoid this, or are we now locked against our will into the AI grasp ?

i switched the download folder to the "desktop",but still it saves whatever i download in the "default" folder of downloads....even when i checked that it actually in the settings says it was changed....im using Firefox142.0.1 (64-bit)
