I see in one of the past recent updates, I notice that "- Original Profile" is in the windows and not just the title of the website I'm on. Any way to remove it? It looks off and not necessary to me.

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

Hello Firefox community, I use Firefox Desktop on two devices — one for work and one for personal use. I’d like to have different bookmark toolbars on each device, but they keep syncing and becoming identical. Is there a way to prevent this (without turning off Sync entirely)? Or is it simply not possible to use more than one Firefox Desktop setup with different bookmark toolbars under the same account? Many thanks! Eva

Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

Reporting an ongoing issue where the Saved Credit Cards section is missing from Firefox’s settings. Autofill for credit cards still works in the browser, but I cannot view, edit, or delete any stored cards because the entire UI section is gone. The Payments / Saved Credit Cards section does NOT appear under Settings → Privacy & Security → Forms and Autofill. Autofill still fills credit card data, so Firefox clearly has stored cards. I just can’t manage them.

Older threads are now closed. Here is what I already checked

I confirmed the following in about:config: extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled → true extensions.formautofill.creditCards.available → true Set extensions.formautofill.creditCards.supported → "on"

Restarted Firefox

Hello!

I use a VPN when I access the web and I recently updated my OS (Mac OS Tahoe). I updated Firefox and now DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is enabled in Firefox. When I have my VPN enabled, I cannot access the web, there is some problem with DNS resolution. I have changed my Firefox DoH settings to Standard (I have also used Strict) and have typically been unable to resolve web URLs correctly. There have been a few times that I have been able to use 'Standard' DoH strictness / settings and also use the VPN successfully at the same time, but typically when I have the VPN enabled Firefox cannot access whichever 'mozilla.cloudflare' address it is attempting to use for DNS resolution.

The VPN vendor suggested always using the VPN's DNS resolver. I have done this and I still have the same problem. What should I do to ensure that I have secure DNS and can successfully use a VPN?

Thank you.

When I sign in to the NY Times (for example) I get a dropdown of autofill email addresses. Some are even mistyped addresses or bogus addresses I've used to access webpages that'll take any email address. I cannot delete these. I've tried shift-delete. These email addresses cannot be accessed via Firefox preferences: autofill screens do not list email addresses but only the physical addresses that I've saved.

(And then, of course, the minute you submit any email to the NYTimes it immediately creates an "account" and starts sending you subscription offers.)

Whenever I try to purchase anything from the Mozilla merchandise store, the checkout does not load at all, no matter what device, OS, or browser I am using. This does not happen in any other store ran by Spreadshop, and I've asked some friends and they've had the same issues as well.

Any help as to how I could access the checkout, or any other way of buying these products would be greatly appreciated.

I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

When I try to open a link using Mac Mail "open link behind mail," the new tab in Firefox opens in the foreground. ChatGPT tells me this is a Firefox related issue and is giving me a bunch of about:config alterations to try, but they don't work.

Is ChatGPT leading me astray, hallucinating?

Is there a Firefox fix? This is a new problem. Is it a bug? Thanks.

version 145.0 problem with bookmark bar not showing when set on 'always on" setting. I have replaced the places.squlite folder with another one from a previous computer. there is only one profile available in the user lib on my mac os Tahoe and have done this replacement file numerous times in the past so don't know the the problem is. Any help would be apreciated.

Sometimes, when I have multiple windows open, closing a window won't completely close. It leaves a blank area where it was, the title of the window is displayed, but clicking in the area just switches to one of the other open windows, and there seems to be no way to finish the process. This has been a problem through the last few Firefox updates. Any thoughts? OS -- macOS Tahoe 26.1 Firefox -- 145.0 (aarch64)

I have the files of my original firefox profile, i just need someone help me figure out if i can recover my passwords from here, i put all the files back into a new profile but it just gives me my old bookmarks, nothign else.
