Firefox Community Forum

In any given day, I have 5 to 15+ browser windows open with various tools or cloud based software, databases. along with researching sites.

Like today, I try to open and type in a new window and I get the famous "Firefox is updated you must restart" All my windows are closed, I loose everything I had opened.

if you are forcing me to "restart" can you not have it reopen my existing webpages/ URLs? I understand that it cannot log me in. However, if I had websites for research open at least I would not forget which ones I had open. Even microsoft will reopen or at least tell me to save my information, etc. before upgrading.

After I restarted my Windows 11 last night at 6:38 EST, Firefox updated to 139. I lost all my open tabs and history, and I've lost a day of work dealing with this. Help!

Your new update deleted all of my favorite bookmarks. Many of which were for business and special research. How do I recover them? They are beyond price. Their loss is a complete catastrophe!

So I just noticed after downloading the new update to Firefox, version 139.0.1 that something new came up in my task manager called Crashhelper. Never seen this before. Closed it down and it seemed to have no issues shutting down at least. I haven't had Firefox crash in recent months, so I'm assuming that this cropping up might be a glitch of some kind? I looked this up to see if anyone else had this issue, and it seems someone on Reddit did encounter this, on Linux, and another on Windows also seems to have run into it. How do we stop this from coming up whenever we start up the browser?

So today I allowed an upgrade of FireFox to version 115.24.0.esr (64bit).

Now both extensions fail... uBlock Origin AND Proton Pass These were last updated May 27th and May 19th.

uBlock Origin manages to "pop up" a blank sub window.

Proton Pass starts an infinite loop displaying, then erasing itself and re-displaying:

Welcome to Proton Pass An error occurred while resuming your session Retry (button) Sign Out

Is there a way to go back to a previous version of FireFox?

Just updated to 139.0.1 and got a surprise. My New Tab Favorites Icons now have Push Pins in their upper left corners, leaving less space for the icons, so of course my icons are now smaller than before. Why do the people maintaining the system at Mozilla keep messing with the New Tabs? Last time, they thought they needed to include a large image of the Firefox icon, again shrinking the remaining screen real estate for my icons. That got fixed. Now they decided each favorite icon needs a rather large push pin to indicate that it belongs there. Somebody thought this would be a good idea? Why can't they just leave it alone?

I'm posting two screenshot images of my New Tab screen. You will know which is before and which is after.

Today, when I went onto Vanguard, at the top of page it said my browser is not supported. However, Firefox says it is "up to date." It had already been changed to 115.24.0esr, as my macbook uses 10.13.6 High Sierra. Firefox says I am good and supported until August 1, 2025, but I am still getting the non-support message on the Vanguard site. Who is right?

My C hard drive is almost full. How can I get Firefox to run from the D drive? I tried copying the files there but it would not run. Do I need to edit something in the Registry? I'm using (for as long as I can) Win 10 on a Dell desktop. Latest version of Firefox is installed.

Thanks for any assistance.
