Firefox Community Forum

Hi I've used Firefox for decades. Now, since updating to Firefox 158.0 (aarch64) on my Mac Studio and a Macbook Pro, I’ve been unable to open my usual banking websites. They still work in Safari on the same Mac & Macbook Pro and through the banks’ iPhone apps.

Have any recent Firefox security or privacy changes affected banking websites? Which settings should I check, and how can I safely allow these sites without disabling protection for all websites?

When I am using Firefox, which has been my primary web browser for years, I find that in the past month, in addition to opening the link that I want, a separate window with information on Alaska cruises or free shipping webpages, which I am not interested in opens. Is this happening to others, and if so, are steps being made to correct this problem. I am collecting some of the extraneous links that have been popping up,

I am using FF 158 on Win11

I noticed that apps after login are being restored with my previous session even if i close the browser and restart the browser!

ways to reproduce the problem: - Login to an app - Exit the browser, ensure the Firefox.exe is not running using Task Manager - Restart the browser and go to the same app URL. - At this point I expect the app to prompt for a password again (It does prompt for a login on Chrome and other browsers including FF 154) however on FF 158 the session is still active!

I have checked the settings in FF 158 and disabled the restore Tabs option on startup however the bug still exists.

This is a serious security issue. Kindly investigate and address

Regards Sanjay

Why provide a link to say who might see my private browser activity and then say absolutely nothing at the landing page about that subject? I an sick of that crap from all the paid by the word nincumpoops!
