macOS Tahoe; 26.4.1 Firefox 150.0.1

I keep most of my bookmarks under the "Bookmarks Toolbar"; I have quite a few of them.

I've always enjoyed the ease and utility of the "Add Folder..." menu item in "Manage Bookmarks", but now it fails on each and every attempt to add a new folder! For example, if I select a folder under "Bookmarks Toolbar", right click that folder, and select the "Add new folder..." item from the drop-down menu Firefox simply "freezes up" - becomes totally non-responsive (spinning beach ball!).

The only way I've been able to recover is using the macOS "Activity Monitor" to "Force Quit" Firefox! If I repeat the "Add Folder..." process described above - Firefox "freezes up" again. I've tried re-booting, and that doesn't cure the problem.

Without trying to confuse the primary issue, I have noticed other "bad behavior" from Firefox:

1. 1. Firefox "disappears" from the menu bar regularly. I can get it back by moving to another desktop, and returning to the desktop with my Firefox windows. However, it will disappear again in short order.

1. 2. Firefox is very slow loading some of the web pages I visit regularly.

When did this start? It started very recently. I have a new (about two weeks old) MacBook Pro. The "Add Bookmark.." issue began only today, but the other issues I mentioned have been around longer.

This is frustrating... I suspect this is caused by Apple's macOS software, but of course have no way to prove that! And in the "FWIW Column": my Chrome browser has basically the same function and interface for adding folders, and it still functions flawlessly.

I want to see all my open tabs all of the time... firefox keeps showing full screen, I don't want that... how do I reset settings using windows 11, logi keyboard HELP!

I started using Firefox because I was having issues with cliches in my banking app with Google. And I don't like using google. My grand daughter recommend Firefox.

I have Windows 11 on my laptop and downloaded Firefox for Windows 11. Everything worked great for a while, then I started having the same cliches with Firefox that I was having with Google. The bank IT tech support advised me to clean my cache. So I did and everything was fine,,,,, for a few weeks and now it has done it again. This caused me to go back and clean my cache again, I did that, restarted my banking app and now it is working fine.

The most confusing part is. when it cliched this time. I went in to verify my Firefox version and my Windows version . The best I could tell, my windows is 11 but my Firefox in 10, so I don't know what I'm doing. Why would is show that when I downloaded the version 11?

Finally, am I going to have to clean my cache on a regular basis or is there some way I can have it cleaned automatically by my computer?

pretty

I am 70 years old and I have worked on my own computer since they first came out with home computers with dial up modems with out windows, We had to use DOS commands,.. So I use to know my way around computers pretty darn well.. Now technology is so advanced it is like Greek to me. I need some easy instructions and a K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly). So can and will someone talk plan English to me?

Thank you for any assistance you can give

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

I tend to have a lot of tabs open at a time and even with the Customize Sidebar > Hide tabs and sidebar checkbox ticked, it is still distracting at times. Could you please help me find a setting/way so that I can hide it and make it re-appear when I hover on it only. Kinda like how we have on windows taskbar? Much appreciated.

I am okay with just being sent the download for win 10 or 11 because I'm not sure why its even giving me such a out dated version. (side note I do want to mention that it is amazing Firefox has the option and goal to let you install a different operating system instead of locking you out to just a Linux version and i do want to say i don't use Firefox as my main browser but a back up from now on because of the accessibility)

I'm trying to add the world cup tracker to my home screen, but when i click the link, it just puts me in my new tab page with no changes. When I click the pencil edit icon, widgets are not an option for me. Is there a place I need to enable them?

Das VPN lässt sich in der neusten Version optisch zwar aktivieren, scheint aber nicht zu funktionieren. Die 50GB bleiben ständig erhalten und reduzieren sich nicht , trotz durch Test´s mit erhöhtem Datenvolumen. Auch erreichen mich bei aktivierten VPN wieder vermehrt SPAM und Ähnliches.

6/21/26 This morning I could not open my FireFox browser, unless i created a Profile. I was forced to use the Profiles Wizard to create a Profiles; when i finished all my Bookmarks had disappeared. Which was a great shock, had lots of Bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, & Other Bookmarks, I need to get those Bookmarks back !! >>More info: I had Hibernated my Dell 15 laptop overnight. This morning when I turned on the laptop, I got the above message that I had to create a Profile, which I did, which made all my bookmarks to DISAPPEAR !! I need them back!
