On some sites where the text input isn't a proper input box, pressing Back Escape takes me back to the previous page is there anyway to fix this? (for example the wordle page.)

I have Firefox installed on multiple devices and most/all of them don't keep sessions or browsing history

I noticed that these files are updated while browser is open and get deleted once browser is closed:

• sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4
• sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4

No other files are related to sessions

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" checked

Installations:

• Windows 10
• Debian 12
• Debian 13 (Firefox 148.0 Snap)

On Firefox for Android, this issue doesn't happen, I can even see the whole browsing history including history lost on PC installations

Hi!

What goes wrong with a simple tracking request on the UPS website? Try my actual case with the following link: https://www.ups.com/track?tracknum=1ZA06B736800244687&loc=fi_FI&requester=QUIC%2F/ The response in Finnish is always: "Emme voi suorittaa seurantapyyntöäsi tällä hetkellä. Yritä myöhemmin uudelleen." A quick and dirty translation is: "We cannot execute your request right now. Try again later".

This is an everlasting problem. But try the exactly same link on Chrome or Edge, and it works fine.

I have an idea for improvement of the mozilla browser, but I don't want to send it online here. So can you please give an email address and I will send it there instead(?).

Hi, I don't understand why I can't access the Accor Hotels website using my preferred browser, Firefox. I'm using an iMac with OS Catalina v 10.15.7 and Firefox 147.0.1 (64 bit)

I can access the site using Chrome. Chrome version is 'This computer is using macOS 10.15. Learn more Version 128.0.6613.138 (Official Build) (x86_64)'

I've checked every Firefox setting I can think of, passwords etc. but the site freezes. Please see attached screenshot. Accor tech support say they have no problem at their end.

This is the link to Accor - https://login.accor.com/as/authorization.oauth2?client_id=all.accor&response_type=code&persistent=yes&accorregister=true&origin=LOGIN&request=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiJhbGwuYWNjb3IiLCJyZXNwb25zZV90eXBlIjoiY29kZSIsInJlZGlyZWN0X3VyaSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYWxsLmFjY29yLmNvbS9sb3lhbHR5LWZ1bm5lbC9jaGVjay1hdXRoZW50Lmh0bWw_YXBwSWQ9YWxsLmFjY29yIiwic2NvcGUiOiJvcGVuaWQgQVBJV0VCLlVTRVIuQUxMIEFQU1IuQUxMIiwidWlfbG9jYWxlcyI6ImVuIiwic3RhdGUiOiI1ZjcwNzA5NjdiNWVkODBjYWZmOGY5Iiwibm9uY2UiOiJjNmNhYzBlMzQ4Zjk1NmNlMGQxNWE2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzY5MjY0NTMyLCJpYXQiOjE3NjkyNjI3MzJ9.DrUJZC2GmtZoLJAWv7lYORQij3C0tcwq4bGNezAINae8_qSHgs4hOKKiq0Cso6sJnhODcMeyrMOP-v1uZBR4Lt0NMpW-8CmprMoSmtORWrD5lWngZg2_3W4gfWViC_Phkj5tVzxdpMx5UoRWC-zvALjP_PNhE4Ca70UnRnvqDi4LFdOYZm4S52kqn_TBQq2VtSzRlLJZwBwAKUIgQG7fYaLknLXnbTd9zKSGHlwEAeO94Y6o59sQ3fHFWrWqjuJFbEl1MJEPu0tPJREmy4D70LkpV8N3TTMfDNzG0O_eLj4wX9Mipv8Q9jdOoTG8wodT5zXLkL0mRYlcdygo_MacIQ&redirect_site_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fall.accor.com%2Fa%2Fen.html%3Futm_term%3Dmar%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMI6r3v44eOkgMV1SV7Bx2bTCqUEAAYASAAEgJojfD_BwE%26utm_campaign%3Dppc-ach-mar-goo-uk-en-pure-mix-sear-%26utm_medium%3Dcpc%26utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_content%3Duk-en-ALL-ALL

Other sites all seem to work ok.

Any ideas pleas on why just this website and how I can access it without having to swap browser?

To whom it may concern,

I have attached a picture of the error message I get when trying to play a video. I know the website is not at fault as I can use your competitors browser (Chrome) and the videos play with no issue. I have also tried a few media player extensions with no success. Please help me find a solution so I do not need to use another browser. Thanks

as title says, what the [expletive] hell is this [expletive], why the [expletive] is it enabled by default and how the [expletive] hell do I get rid of this [expletive] [expletive]

Ok so I usually choose these option to remember history and from time to time delete Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages.

Note: I have "Open previous window and tabs" ticked in general settings which also has a restore previous session option in the history menu. This brings back previous session with tabs etc as is when I close FF. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-51-cf2daf.png

I thought I could automate this on exit but don't think its working right. So I change the option to "use custom settings for history" and tick all three options:

Remember browsing and download history Remember search and form history Clear history when Firefox closes For "Clear history when Firefox closes" I ticked Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-43-b10213.png

The issue is the restore session option is missing and FF opens with all previous tabs gone. I am frankly not even sure what else is missing such as cookies, site data etc. Is this meant to work like so?
