I have been a long time user of FF and have been puzzled by it's recent failure (to both start, and subsequently re-install) For the last 18 months I have been running Win 12 without problems. That is until last week, when I can only assume the Tuesday udates ( MS) has created havoc. I would appreciate any assistance as I am not fond of MS Edge, or Google Chrome. Dave Hickman.

After many years of untroubled use, I suddenly cannot connect to any Rapidgator address on either of my computers: • Mac Studio M1 64GB Sequoia v15.6, Firefox v143.0.4 and • Macbook Pro i9 16GB Sonoma v14.7.7, Firefox v143.0.4 though I have no problem loading the same links on the same devices using Safari. Interestingly, I have no problem accessing Rapidgator links using Firefox on my phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max, IOS v18.5).

This is a big headache, as most of my material is archived using Rapidgator and my workflow is built around Firefox. I have quit all other apps, rebooted (many times), disabled extensions, turned off Little Snitch, but I keep getting the same results. Any idea what is causing this?

Hello,

I use a Powershell script to manually install a Firefox update.

Starting with version 128.10.xx and higher, Update.exe expects different parameters, but I'm not sure what the parameter names mean (see screenshot).

Can someone explain to me what I need to pass for “arg-version” and “wich-invocation”? All other parameters were already present in the previous version of Update.exe, and I understand those, but unfortunately I don't know exactly what I need to pass for these two.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how long Firefox will continue to receive updates (security fixes, compatibility patches, etc.) on macOS Big Sur.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Fedora froze and I had to reset my PC. Firefox hat quite a number of tabs open wich are still visible in history Recently closed tabs. When I click there on Reopen all tabs nothing happens.

How do I open all recently closed tabs?

Hi Team,

A few days ago, Grammarly started not working for the overlay in Outlook.

In another browser or on other pages in Firefox, it works just fine, but I can't get it to work in Firefox.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

First, why does the "recently closed tabs" doesn't work if you close an entire firefox window?

second, why isn't there a place to search through your tab groups?

I just accidentally closed a firefox window with a lot of tabs, including unnamed tab groups.

This is a pain for all browsers, but firefox took it a step further.

There is a "recently closed tab" page which is really convenient, until you need it most when you accidentally close multiple ones. On top of that, I lost multiple unnamed group tabs.

Am I missing something, or is the experience still subpar? I've been a power user of firefox for years now, and I get why I get clowned by chrome users ngl.

look, i have no idea if this is a bug, but i have been dealing with this for over a month now. i even have tried to use what was suggested, still does it. it all started AFTER i used mozilla sync, now for some reason it forces me out of my accounts every time i try to restart my browser, forces me to log back into them, then does it again if i close out mozilla at any point after to make sure it isn't about to sign me out another time.

it's getting frustrating because i am tired of losing my history, my bookmarks, and my extensions. this is also reaching a point i am considering changing web browsers because it won't fix after trying the suggestion given before of deleting the files.

As stated, when I close browsers usually some random group of tabs, usually at the starting left side, will be moved to the end of tabs. I need to go in and manually select them and send them to the start or manually move them. Sometimes another group that was to the right of the starting tabs shows up in front of those moved to the end. I have 4 working windows with multiple tabs open. When all are closed, say as to reboot, the last one I was in usually is the one effected. Happens probably 7 or 8 times out of 10 closings.

Earlier today there was a one second power outage in my area that obviously turned off my work pc. While helping customers I saw that it was throwing error codes while restarting. After getting it fixed by power cycling the pc. When I would open Firefox it would start loading tabs but when I clicked on anything it would freeze then crash. I tried to power cycle the pc again to no avail. Everything else along with other browsers worked fine. I then uninstalled and reinstalled and it would get to the end of the install and would pop up with hmm for some reason, we could not install Firefox. I have updated all drivers along with windows and nothing has worked. The weird thing is that it makes a desktop short cut that I can open with a get started tab but when clicking on anything it freezes and crashes. I also uninstalled the old Firefox folder to make sure nothing was conflicting and it still doesn't work.

Still having trouble viewing Fox News with a spinning circle. The link below may provide some help in providing an answer. Tried other browsers and all seem to work OK. Any help would be appreciated.

I was signed out from my Firefox-Account on my PC for no apparent reason. I reset my Firefox Sync Password today and when I checked my saved passwords they were empty. In my profile folder there is a logins.json.corrupt file which probably contains all my saved passwords. How can I recover them and why doesn't Firefox sync them back like it's supposed to?

Thank you.

I get an error (Sorry, the video player failed to load.(Error Code: 101102))when I try to watch vids on weather network. No problems on other sites (youtube etc.)) Is there a fix for this??

Thank you Rick

Windows 11 Pro on Lenovo ThinkCentre. I switched to ESR a while back, when the regular and ESR versions coincided. All updates since then have worked fine, until now.

When I allow Firefox to update to 140.3.1esr from 128.14.0esr, then the Firefox browser no longer works at all. It comes up, but entering a URL (by typing or bookmark) does nothing and goes nowhere, so I can't use the internet at all.

I had to use Macrium Reflect to restore my system drive to an earlier time to get back on the internet, using version 128.14.0esr, which lost some recent bookmarks, etc. I have tried this twice, with the same result.

Now, a couple of sites no longer work because they say the browser isn't current.

What can I do about this? I hope I don't have to switch to another browser, because there are Firefox extensions I use all the time. However, I can't use a non-updatable browser indefinitely, because more sites won't work.

Can I fix this?

Thanks for your help, AnneF

Trying to sync my old PC to my new PC by using sync to my iPhone and then back to the new PC Following online instructions for phone to PC but the instruction to go to the menu and tap Sync and save data does not exist. I’ve already downloaded Firefox on my iPhone but it keeps asking me to download Firefox Very frustrating. Please help, thank you.

The NY Times home page has taken to​ animating many of their illustrations. I would like to prevent that; they​ sometimes cause Firefox on my Windows 11 system to freeze for​ periods of varying length, and I simply don't want them. Their helpbot suggested restarting FF and clearing the cache, both​ proved useless. Changing the setting in Firefox to block audio & video has no​ apparent effect. Videos still play from the NYT page and the browser​ still freezes. Is there a way?
