Firefox Community Forum

I use Lightspeed Retail at work and it worked fine until recently. I can print labels, but if I need to print anything else, both tabs (print tab and main Lightspeed tab) stop responding. The print tab brings up the print preview popup, but gets stuck and I can't actually print. Both tabs essentially freeze and I have to close both and reopen Lightspeed in a new tab to do anything again. This has been going on for weeks, I'm not sure exactly when it started.

Lately when I reconnect to my Mac laptop after a period of sleep, the Firefox browser windows are unresponsive. It seems to be receiving input but does not update the display. I have to quit and reopen Firefox to get it to work again. The menu works, I am able to quit, so it's not like the whole app is frozen. Plus, if I clicked on the "new tab" icon while it was unresponsive, those new tabs show up open after I quit and reopen the browser.

Over the past six weeks I have had two failures of Firefox [running current version 146.0 (aarch64)] in completing CC payment processes -- at least one involved updating an expired car, I can't recall if the other involved such a change or just entering a card.

I am using Firefox on a mac mini M4 Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 (up to date, fully supported, but not Tahoe the recently released new version of macOS). I am running Firefox with 4 extensions -- 1 Password, Print Friendly, Raindrop.io, and Authenticator. None were being actively used during these incidents.

In both cases when I switched to Safari and opened the sites, I was able to successfully complete the CC changes and payments. So it does not appear to be related to a problem in my internet connection.

My questions are: a) has anyone had a similar experience with Firefox

     -- particularly incidents related to online financial transactions

b) if so, have you found a solution c) regardless, do you have any suggestions about the cause of the problem or changes to try

Otherwise, my experience with Firefox has been excellent and I am very happy with it, but this is obviously a frustrating and time-consuming problem.

I have reported it to Firefox -- the response was that they will look into it but that my next step should to ask "the community" here.

My thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hello

As in the subject written, it is newly there again that when klicking on a URL-file (such as *.webloc) on the macOS desktop or somewhere in a folder, Firefox (actual 146.0.1 (aarch64)) is opening that URL and an empty browser-site behind. That one is absolutely not helpful and has always been klicked away…

Is there any adjustment possible or is it a mistake. The version before that did not happen and some years ago it did. In Safari does it work as it should (starting the browser itself opens an empty browser window; startin via a safed *.webloc opens only that URL)

Thank you for any help and all the best

Firrst off, I find I must be learning disabled when it comes to Firefox! I already mentioned the topic above, and someone emailed 2x from the f.f "Team" and wrote helpful info on WHY I might have gotten this red flag-still ain't sure right now, and last n. I tried the question in terms of the white flower.

  I got an auto info reply which matches what appears to be two profiles..there's one ff. on left with white flower, and 2nd on r. in mac dock with a heart!
  The 2nd, newer profile on r MUST be the new one it forced me to creat....

to me, this is like the scene in Star Wars when Luke Skywalker looks up at the two moons of Endor...unlike him, I am terrified to delete 2nd/neweer/heart account (which I created Thurs. night "mac 13"...b/c when it was created, it didn't have my bookmarks and p/w and I could NOT get the p/w s. and STILL can't import them back to classic/original profiel!!!!!!

The profile issue is thus 1) fear to delete 2nd newer "forced" profile, and 2nd is again, NO bookmarks in original once it forced me to make a 2nd profile.

The steps to get bookmarks are incredibly complicated...I DON"T KNOW WHY they were pushed out of the original, BUT HAVEN'T GOT ANY IN ALL PROFILE/SETTINGS/SAVED P/W'S I wasted Apple support help x 1 hr., and they have limits b/c 3rd party. Mac inro'd a "passords" feature in apps but there is no file (three letter --- type to reimport, I guess b/c they weren't in icloud-am not sure)!

  Where oh where have my p/w's gone...am I forced to go to another of my four macs and see if they're gone there too..I think so..haven't even checked the phone...UB HOW TO TYPE IN ALL P/W'S AGAIN MANUALLY IS A DRAG-AND THE INSTRUCTION SETS ON FIREFOX ARE OVERWHEMINGLY DIFFICULT!

Firefox is set to restore the session on launch, and that used to work flawlessly. I have two monitors and a couple weeks ago I installed Windows 11, after that Firefox still worked properly. But since I've had issues with the DisplayPort connection for the primary monitor being unstable, this weekend I swapped it to HDMI, reset the primary/secondary monitor settings in WIndows accordingly, and now Firefox won't open its windows on the primary monitor on first launch after windows loads.

I've got three window at the moment, with multiple open tabs in each. Two windows are supposed to on the primary monitor, and one on the secondary, but now Firefox will send all three windows to the secondary monitor. So I move the two windows to the primary monitor, exit Firefox gracefully, give it a moment to shut down properly, restart Firefox, and all the windows are where I left them.

Then when I restart the computer, Firefox shoves all the windows onto the seconday monitor again.

The primary monitor always come on first, and I alway wait to login to windows till both monitors are awake, so it's not like the one monitor is missing. I also have MonitorKeeper (https://github.com/hunkydoryrepair/MonitorKeeper/) which normally works for keeping the windows on the right monitor, but it doesn't work when Firefox launches the windows on the wrong monitor.

All other programs have no problems like this and open where I left them. It only seems to be the Firefox restore session that somehow fails to put the windows in place on first launch of the day.

When trying to "Save" after pro-cococut finishes downloading a file that is larger than 1 Gig and I can't find out what to do in order to have it save large files.

About a third of the time when I go to a new site I have to "reload tab" once or twice. Sometimes it will open the site and then stall and I have to "refresh". You keep upgrading so I assume my software is up to date.

So long story short I was trying to selectively wipe a cache for an unrelated site to get up to date information, and in the process I accidentally wiped my browser data for a chat site I use.

I clicked "clear browsing data" and set it for the last hour, thinking it would only y'know, delete the last hour of content. I had the chat site open at the time, it didn't log me out of anything, and all of those logs were still there as far as I could tell.

Come today, I log on to the chat site, and all of my conversations are gone. And I would very much appreciate getting them back if possible. No I have not recently updated my F-list backups or anything of the sort, so my only option is to find where the (deleted) browser data is stored and recover it from there. Which I really, really hope is possible.

Please help.

I downloaded capital one shopping add-on. But I never established a user name or password anywhere. If I need to do this before using it, please tell me exactly where and how to do this! (All of this stuff confuses me.)

i have no sound in firefox ,while other applications and edge or chrome give me normal sound.It ia no muted ,checked the volume mixer everything should be working but no sound

Since the last update the fonts have been too small. I have altered the fonts on the web pages, but the fonts on the menu bar remain too small and I cannot seem to alter them. I have increased my overall settings to 120%, but this has not helped. Any ideas?
