Hello. I'm afraid there has been a data breach from either Firefox or Lockwise.

I have passwords that are used only in local development virtual hosts accessed only from Firefox that are showing up in Google password alerts.

This is a bug report & fix I found.

Firefox x64 DE 130.0b1 (however, it is not specific to this version of FF.) AMD 3900X CPU (all hardware clocks default unless otherwise noted) AMD RX 6900XT Corsair HX-850 PSU Latest device and chipset drivers from AMD and the respective manufacturers, from their sites Gigabyte Aorus Master motherboard (rev 1) 32GB DDR4 system ram (4x8) stock clocked at 3733Mhz, default timings Windows 11 Build 22635.4005 (Insider's beta-channel build--problem and solution are not build specific, I found)

Problem description:

• Two-three months ago, my previously rock stable system began regular crashing events, every 2-4 days average, sometimes twice a day, sometimes once every 4 days.

• Kernel Error 41, and I spent inordinate amounts of time trying to trace the problem as you might imagine from PSU to device drivers, you name it.

• Finally dawned on me that the hard crashes did not occur when playing a game or when punishing the CPU in some computational tasks--nope, I realized that every time the system crashed I was online running Firefox.

• I got it in my head (through some reasoning I don't even recall) that possibly the CPU stop error that triggered the critical Kernel error and crashed the system was due to a multi-threading bug in my trusty browser!

• So, I checked out Mozilla bug reports and stumbled upon this Windows environment variable, MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S 1, which I decided to try. It has now been two solid weeks without another episode--not even 1--and while I am not whooping and cheering wildly, quite yet, I do believe the problem boils down to some sort of obscure Ff multi-threading bug! Something was locking up process threads between cores! So, I thought I'd report it! If this gets ID'ed and fixed I'll be happy to try it on at some point...;)

Hi all,

I'm using Firefox 125.0 (64-bit) on Fedora and for file downloads, I have the options "Ask whether to open or save files" and "Always ask you where to save files" enabled.

This basically works, Firefox opens a file selection dialog and I can select where I want to save my downloads - so far, so good.

The weird thing is, the default location that is shown in this dialog seems to change every time I download a file. I would expect to see the last download location as the default option, but that is not what happens.

When I check about:config, I can see the last used download path is saved as browser.download.lastDir perfectly fine, but it is not set as the default for the next download.

Is there a parameter I can set so this last path is used again?

Thanks,

M.

YouTube is not opening for you to understand see I have shared two images this text is coming again and again what is the reason and why is this happening please solve this problem very fast thanks'

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Example:

Supposed to be: test [sound=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fe547nk.mp3].png Downloads as: test [sound=https_3A_2F_2Ffiles.catbox.moe_2Fe547nk.mp3].png

Does somebody know how to disable firefox to start in the last used workspace? I use Firefox under Linux in a Window Manager and defined a rule that should put firefox in a specific workspace but in this case firefox remembers its last used workspace and does not 'obey' the set rule...

Hi. In recent weeks, I have been having daily issues with pictures in messenger not showing when they are sent to me, though I can see the ones I send out.

I have done the usual running in troubleshooting mode etc, but it makes no difference.

I have added a screenshot of the issue below.

I use Firefox beta and the issue does not happen on other browsers such as edge.

I know it takes just two mouse clicks to open the About dialog, but I'd like to bookmark it so when I check my daily bookmarks by right-clicking a folder and clicking "Open All Bookmarks", it would be displayed. This would be a convenient, albeit forceful, way to keep Firefox up-to-date. The About dialog isn't modal, so that shouldn't be an issue.

OS Version: Windows 11 Home, 23H2 Firefox Version: 127.0.2

I have several virtual desktops: Desktop 1, 2, 3 and 4. Case 1: Assume that there is at least one opening Firefox window in any virtual desktop. And, if I try to open a new window in Desktop x (x = 1, ..., 4), it will appears in Desktop x as expected. Case 2: Assume that there are currently no opening Firefox windows in any virtual desktop. And, if I try to open a new window in Desktop 2 or 3 or 4, it will only appears in Desktop 1.

I develop wordpress websites on FF Dev Ed on a Mac running macOS12.7.4. This current problem is one I've never seen before.

• In a regular window of FFDE, dropdown items on the menu, don't drop down.
• A youtube video, visible in the source and in the editor, doesn't display on the page.
• A gallery of logos doesn't appear on the page, though it does in the editor and the editor's preview.

These problems DON'T APPEAR

• in a private window,
• in vanilla Firefox,
• in another user account, using FFDE
• on other websites, using FFDE
• in other browsers,
• on other computers, using FFDE

In all those cases, site works perfectly. Actions:

• refreshed the page (dozens of times),
• cleared the site cache, the browser cache (Managed the data AND cleared the data)
• turned off all extensions,
• put the browser in troubleshooting mode,

all with no change. Although I don't think anyone else will see the problem, the site is https://homeopathyschool.org What am I missing?

Hello, I'm having similar issue like this person https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1b8e2za/everything_is_missing_after_update/, where my shortcuts and recent activity is just blank. I tried to reinstall firefox, install beta version, remove cookies and cache but nothing helped me. Seems it happened after a update.

This started a few weeks ago. I thought it might have been because I synced the passwords with other devices. I reverted it back.

When in about:logins, I click on the log in button but nothing happens.
