Hello! After installing update 129.0.1, in the profile folder, along the path: AppData/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles, a folder "extensions store menus" appeared, it contains the file data.life.bin, which changes its modification date as if it was synchronized when the browser closes. I would like to know if anyone else has this folder and file? . I checked the file for viruses, it is clean. Thanks in advance for your answers).

I can't see all of the bookmarks added to a particular topic. I can only see the oldest ones. When I try to search them or edit them they are all there but there seems to be a limit to the ones which are displayed. I think this behaviour has just started after an update.

My home page on Firefox is https://www.google.com/ which brings up a Google search box I enter something to search and invariably I get the following message (not always, but most of the time):

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, www.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

I am advised that: "Website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it"

I click "Learn more" and find: "To visit a site that displays this error message, you can right-click the link and select Open Link in New Tab or Open Link in New Window"

What is "the link" I am supposed to right-click?

All I see is the "Learn More" link, which takes me to the aforementioned statement, whether I right-click it or left-click it..

Then I give up on Firefox and switch to the Google Chrome browser. I prefer to use Firefox, but if this is what happens each time, I will switch to Google Chrome as my default browser. Goodbye Firefox

I used to be able to press Enter in the empty Firefox search bar to bring up the (DuckDuckGo) search page and enter my search from there. Don't ask me why I like doing that, but now after the latest Firefox update, 128.0, on my MacBook Air I can't do that anymore. I have to type in the search bar to bring up the search page.

I know it's a small thing but I wonder if it can be put back to the way it used to be.

Looks like [removed] garbage, stupid [removed] decision to make. I want them gone you ignorant [removed].

Why is there so many restart to update firefox I have gotten them so many times in a week and sometimes twice a day. But checking the update history it doesnt show up as so many updates.

Why is this happening?

I get error messages claiming FF is rejecting cookies in email log in the bank log in claims Unfortunately we are unable to process your request at this time. For assistance, please contact the Customer Contact Center at 1-877-768-2265 and select option 4 to speak with a Personal Banking Representative.

The folks at the bank have one response, Use Chrome.

It does work using the same credentials but it's not what I want to use ANY ideas are appreciated I've tried allowing all sorts of permissions but even 'clear history' options were changed with this windows update.

I recently added an ADDON that function to, OPEN A LINK IN A NEW TAB.

I saw something about that the Addon wasn't monitored for security.

This lead me to ask this question:

DO ADDONS SEND INFORMATION TO OTHER ENTITIES BESIDES FIREFOX, FOR EXAMPLE DO THEY SEND INFO TO THE DEVELOPERS OF ADDONS?

Thanks for your help in advance, Kavin King

Everytime I close Firefox, it logs me out of all of my accounts (gmail, amazon, sites I use for work etc.) I have tried refreshing Mozilla to default settings, uninstalling and reinstalling it, changing preferences under History but nothing is working. It is frustrating as I have to go through the security checks each time I log back into my accounts which is using a lot of time. I am the only one who uses my laptop and it's password protected, so I prefer to stay logged in to frequently used sites. It's been happening for over a couple of months now and I don't know what else to try and I've gone through so many help pages and advice pages already. I may have to switch to another browser if this keeps happening, which I am reluctant to do. How can I stop Firefox from logging me out all the time?

Occasionally, and typically only after a reboot, Firefox starts consuming a significant amount of CPU time. This typically goes on for several minutes, and if I close and reopen Firefox, the process begins again. It's enough CPU that the fans kick on high through most of the process, and considering I'm only opening the browser (not even switching tabs to actively load any other pages), I don't know why it would do this. Similarly, if it were related to typical startup behavior, why doesn't it do this every time?

While I generally trust that this is intentional and is unlikely the result of malware, I'd still like to know why Firefox does this at all and what it's doing. I'm not sure if I can collect any logs or get any other info about this. From process monitors, it appears to be the main executable that's consuming the additional CPU and not any of the isolated instances.

I collected the troubleshooting information, and saved it, but I am hesitant to share without knowing what type of information is contained (and I can see some sensitive stuff like file paths)

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Linux 6.8.0-36-generic) Firefox Version: 127.0.2 (deb) Build ID: 20240624183754

Seems Bitwarden will not populate the information on sites we have bookmarked. Typically, logging into a site would show an entry for that site, clock and it populates the ID and password.

Now it seems it will not populate and I have to copy and paste the information. Never had this issue before and it will work as usual on my iphone but not the desktop Mac

My broadand and mobile are with the same company. When logging in to Yahoo with the broadband it says there is a problem so I use the mobile hotspot to log in. Then if I switch back to using the broadband Yahoo will load and update the mail etc. It was working with the broadband after the recent browser update but has stopped again.
