I wanted to report that after signing in to get help I received an authorization code email and in it the wrong Windows version is listed. Although the computer is running Windows 11 25H2 Pro, in the email it reported it was Windows 10. See first uploaded image. I noticed that in the Shared Data, it also lists the OS as Windows 10.

Interestingly, after clicking on Show Details below, It does list the OS as Windows 11. See second uploaded image. Also see search results concerning this at: Search results for Mozilla reporting wrong Windows version

Unimportant and mildly disruptive issue: I've been using the about:profiles method to maintain separate profiles. I am aware that this is distinct from the new way to manage profiles (about:profilemanager; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1543697 ).

I normally use my default profile (let's call it profile A) to open other profiles (of which there are 6 + a Nightly profile).

However, recently I've noticed that if I open another profile (B) from profile A: Refreshing profile A's about:profiles makes it inactive, with the "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles" error. Now, B's about:profiles correctly displays the different profiles, and I can launch more profiles from here. But A is still shown as the default profile. I've tried this with a few other profiles (C, D), but even with those open, B still seems to have the functional about:profiles page.

Is there any way to reset this, i.e. to make A's about:profiles functional even when profile B is launched?

Edit: I think this is because profile B has the new profile manager enabled, and under this, B is the original profile. I tried setting browser.profiles.enabled to false in the about:config settings but this doesn't seem to help. Oh well!

MB is telling me to put MB on Firefox! BUT, I already have MB on Firefox. Can you help me.

Thank you,

Bogged down, slow: Win11 task manager(TM) shows more FF browsers than reality. Have 11 FF browsers in use but TM says 55 climbing to 77.... numbers vary up & down! but never accurate to what is in use. Attempted fixes: cleared cookies, ' Refresh', uninstall/reinstall. Troubleshooting Information: Application Basics said "Profile folder" click "Open Profile' for FF ...but no FF in that list. Tried 'clear Startup cache' and it jumped to 82 after... so worse. How do I get a true number of browsers open and not these 'extras'. Thanks in advance..

Hello dear Mozilla team,

It has come to my attention that it is the second time, that Firefox randomly restarts (crashes?) and as an consequence of it Loose all of my tab groups, which are really help-full to separate work and projects at work.

Is there something known about this behavior ?

Just to know if it is known why this happens. Or what should I keep in thoughts to prevent it....

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

I wish to switch to a new primary laptop. I normally use multiple machines in the course of a day. I have probably hundreds of open tabs on my main computer and even though I checked "Open Tabs" for sync, they never show on my other devices.

Following previous help recommendations I searched for the json sessions file...it doesn't exist anywhere on my system. The only other "help" was to "tap" tabs in the lower right corner. There is nothing in the lower right corner unless, perhaps on a phone, which isn't the device in question.

Please help
