Firefox has stopped obeying target="_blank"

Started a month or so ago.

Take a look at Firefox target="_blank" problem for details.

There is not a topic in the dropdown list that remotely addresses this issue so I just selected Performance and Connectivity for the hell of it.

Hello

I'm using a Mac with 15.0.1. I downloaded Firefox a couple of days ago. All seems to be working fine. I've not made any settings changes and all websites seem to be operating as expected. However, I cannot get Facebook to load at all. I know that when I tried using Mozilla Firefox in the past I had the same problem and eventually just gave up. When I enter www.facebook.com with a URL and press enter, I get the following: "

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at facebook.com.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.
   If you are trying to load a local network page, please check that Firefox has been granted Local Network permissions in the macOS Privacy & Security settings.

"

It's important to note that I have not made any changes to the default settings. I have not in any way configured or changed any settings at all. So I would expect this to work out of the box. Firefox is: 137.0.1 (aarch64).

Not sure why this is happening and why I need to go through so many directions to trying work out why a simple website won't work. Any help would be really appreciated.

I have disabled all the other search settings in order to get rid of this field years ago. Now, suddenly it starts to show up again. I go to the settings, somehow it has all renabled itself, so I disable it. And yet, it STILL shows up with no content in it. How do I remove this?

Recently clicked to update to the next version of Firefox. Then I get the message "Restart to Update Firefox." I restart Firefox but the message is still there when I click Help > About Firefox. It would appear that the update did not happen for some reason. Do I need to re-install Firefox to get around this problem?

Hi can anyone help me figure out how to restore my bookmarks from my old browser? I have my old firefox data in a folder on my desktop but it won't link automatically because I had to reinstall firefox because it wasn't opening. Whenever I try to follow the main help page to copy/paste the files into my new profile it isn't working, and I am not sure if I should copy the files into a different folder (I opened the root directory for my new/named profile).

My PC was accidently got blue screen of death and cannot boot window anymore only way is reinstall window. and then I sing in to my mozilla account but I forgot my password so I have to reset it. but I didn't know that you have change the sync system that need to use recover key and yes now I lost all my 10years sync. this cannot recover anymore? or how can I recover it. Honestly this recover key thing is shit in google chrome you won't lost anything from reset the password. this make me really sad and upset. so is there any way to get my sync back? or it lost forever? if it lost forever I would say goodbye to firefox thanks.

An hour ago I had all of my Firefox bookmarks. Ten years of meticulously filed and regularly culled references that I use multiple times daily. I rarely log out of Firefox sync, so that I can keep them up to date.

I now have no bookmarks and no tags.

For some context, two things just happened simultaneously. So, I'm not entirely sure which is the culprit.

1) Firefox just updated and I rebooted my computer.

2) Norton 360 updated sometime in the past two days. I attempted to familiarise myself with the new interface. Foolishly, given the track record of Norton-360-for-breaking-your-games, I ran the disc cleanup, which recommended I remove approximately 400 Mb of data. Norton stated this data was temporary files. If they were indeed my bookmark history, nowhere did Norton indicate they were bookmarks. Also, never have I encountered a disc cleanup that wholesale wipes bookmarks. I do hope Norton is not the culprit and this is just a glitch, because if this were due to Norton having no safety net for deleting an entire library of bookmarks - and they can't help me restore them - then that will be the final nail in the coffin for me doing business with Norton.

The suggestion to go to Import and Backup in Firefox, then click Restore, offers only the option of Choose file... - and then launches nothing.

Currently, I'm seeking any means of restoring my bookmarks. Any help would be appreciated.

I had presumed that I was taking reasonable measures through my Firefox Sync settings to protect my bookmarks and ensure they could be restored in the event of accidents. If these bookmarks are permanently lost, the amount of work I've just lost is quite the blow.

Edit No. 01: After writing this, my Bookmarks Toolbar is also now empty. Perhaps it had wiped earlier, but was merely waiting for a refresh to take effect.

Edit No. 02: Also, it seems I am unable to create any new bookmarks. I shall read the help suggestions relating to that now, to see if it's a relevant issue.

For about the last 2 months, when I either get a notification that an update is available or I manually check for updates, both Firefox and Thunderbird are stuck in "Downloading updates -- 0 bytes" on 2 Windows 11 computers. Eventually, like a half an hour to an hour later, the update downloads and I can install the update. This has been going on for 2 months now. As a 20 plus year user of Mozilla and also a long-time financial contributor, this problem going on for 2 months is getting old. And yes, I have checked my antivirus and firewall. Is Mozilla aware of the problem and is there a solution?
