For some reason, IDM will not work in Firefox/DuckDuckGo. even though it worked a couple of weeks ago. I contacted IDM support who have tried everything they have, but no change.

Here is the issue: 1. I open Firefox (Duck Duck Go is my default) (132.0.2 (64-bit) 2. I type "vintage sci fi movies" 3. Click on "videos" 4. Pick any movie (example: The Phantom Planet (black and white but this does not matter) 5. In the Choose How you Watch, I click the left icon - Watch Here, and not Watch on YouTube; also click Remember my choice 6. The movie starts but there is no IDM dialogue 7. If I then click Watch on YouTube inside the movie, it switches to YouTube and the movie starts, AND the IDM dialogue pops up.

As I said, this worked in Firefox/DDG a couple of weeks ago.

IDM version is 6.42 Build 23, full (paid for) version Oct 15 2024 The IDM Integration Module in Firefox shows as Version 6.42.22, last updated Oct 28 2024.

Can you assist please.

I ran into a glitch in another program, and as part of trying to fix it I rebooted my computer. On doing so, I find that the VAST majority of the tabs I had open in my main browsing window have disappeared - some of them out of tab groups I'd created to avoid losing the tabs in question. Neither tab history nor browser history show the missing tabs.

What gives?! Is there any way to restore the window as I had it, say, yesterday?

(Title): VPN is not working on my laptop

(Description):

Hello, I installed a VPN on my laptop, but it is not working. I cannot connect to any servers. I have tried restarting my laptop and reinstalling the VPN, but the problem still exists. How can I fix this issue?

Thank you.

As of the last update, I cannot log into my at&t email. I can log in using google chrome but can't using firefox.

I've spent 4 hours on the phone talking to at&t tech support with no solution; therefore, it appears this log in problem may be because of a firefox update.

Is there any way firefox can fix this?

Thank you, George

Every other day, I open FireFox and may get the following error: XULRunner - This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile. Also, this error may come up while I already have had FireFox open for a while. Once this error comes up, I check the version, and sometimes the version is older than what it was, meaning, FireFox reverted back to an older version on it's own. I created a new profile, but the error comes back. I removed FireFox and all folders, and the error still comes back. There is nothing I can do to stop the error from showing up again. See attached images. I am on Windows 11 23H2, all windows updates caught up, and the current FireFox browser version is 138.03.

Today I was no longer able to stream movies on Amazon Prime or Youtube. I watch Amazon movies most nights, watched last night. Tonight I got a message when I tried to continue watching a tv series on Amazon that I've watched for weeks. It said I had to update Firefox and told me how, but when I went thru the process Firefox said it was up to date. On Youtube I got an error msg. 99,999 . What is happening?

I have been having so many problems with Mozilla ( Firefox ) this year mostly due to freezing and the browser hanging. I have tried different fixes including refreshing and removing ad blockers but the problems come back and seems to persist with some sites being worse than others: I really like the layout of Mozilla but I have started using Chrome and Edge and I DO NOT have these issues with those browsers, actually Chrome is super fast and responsive. My question is what is going on with this browser that suddenly it becomes inoperable. If this situation does not change i will have to relegate Mozilla to little or no use except for the VPN version which so far seems fine. Help !

Currently I can not access any website through firefox without a VPN. Other browsers are working without a VPN. I wonder if now China is blocking the firefox browser. Never had this trouble until today. Maybe it is a new setting i am missing or unaware of?

Since new update was installed today, in touch screen mode, every time a touch a link of any kind my touch keyboard pops up. This is very annoying. Where can I find the setting to turn off this option?

There are reports of conflicts between Firefox performance and Sequoia, how to resolve it? I would like to update from my current MacOS and I‘m not willing to give up Firefox as my primary browser. Could I get advice when it‘s save to update? Best regards RB

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

I'm using windows 11. Formerly, I was downloading videos from YouTube to folders on my virtual desktop, with no problem. When selected the video which I wanted to save, a window from File Explorer would open, and I could select where I wanted to store the file. I could select a folder I created, on the desktop, and the file would be saved exactly where I wanted it. Lately, the File Explorer window which opens up, has a different menu, which shows the cloud of One Drive, which wasn't there before, and the only selection for "desktop" is there. The downloads always fail, and I can't even find them on the cloud. The Microsoft techs claim that the problem is with FireFox. How do I get back to normal?

My YOROI Wallet extension will not load. I have removed it and re-installed YOROI and still no Wallet connectivity. I need access to this wallet to transfer funds. What can I do? I have never had an issue with this extension. Thank you. D. Fox

I have used Firefox for years. Suddenly, when I try to use it, it is replaced by yahoo.com. What is happening here?
