This is a problem I only started experiencing yesterday, but if I try to upload an image to a website (such as social media), and I double-click a shortcut for a folder, it attempts to upload the shortcut as the selected file, instead of opening the folder.

This is only a problem with firefox, as I tried doing this in another browser and I was able to open it as a folder normally. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix this?

I have just opened MS Teams on my Firefox 137.0 on my WIndows 11 and I get a blank screen. NOthing happens. I see that by looking in Edge the format of MS Teams layout has completely changed. I imagine that there's a setting to change to enable teams to work but how can I find it?

I have been using the old version of firefox for many years now. It seems that I am now synched in with my work version which I did not authorize. When the work version was updated it also updated my home version (which is a DISASTER for me. When it did this it also removed all of my saved passwords, my bookmarks, and my history. Is there any way I can recover any of these super important items. This just happened today. If I had been given any warning that this was going to happen I would have backed up all of this. As it is now. I have no way to do any of my crucial on line banking, or any of my other super important items.

Can't seem to stream Netflix. Firefox is up to date. New Widevinecdm update today 4/2/2025. Apparently since that update (today) I can't stream. I get Netflix error code F7702-1003. Searched/read several FF articles/forum Qs - no help. did a "refresh FF" - no help. don't want to install Chrome (Google knows too much about me already). Netflix worked fine last night. Tried unchecking "play DRM controlled content" - FF(Netflix site) asked to enable DRM - clicked ok - reinstalled. no help. Hard reboot - no help. Still running a Win7 64-bit desktop OS - works fine.

HELP!! Thanks

I have been setting up Passkeys to log in to the websites which allow them. But I have noticed on Paypal, they do not allow me to use passkey when using firefox, it only seems to allow chrome

Is there an issue with firefox which deems it not suitable for passkeys?

I noticed that sopmeone asked this question this time last year and it was advised that firefox is now able to create and store passkeys Paypal still dont seem to allow it?

I have hundreds of bookmarks imported from Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox on older computers. Many of the bookmarks are duplicates, and many located in different, misnamed sub-folders should be moved to more relevant folders.

The bookmark manager is not the easiest tool to use for reorganizing bookmarks because the Results Detail section changes its focus each time a bookmark file is dragged to a different folder or sub-folder. This forces the user to bounce back and forth in the Bookmark Manager in attempts to find the sub-folder they cleaning up.

If the contents of the Bookmark Manager could be downloaded as a CSV file or spreadsheet; more query tools could be implemented to reorganize the data. Once that is accomplished; the Bookmark Manager could be purged and the organized data could be reinstalled. That would make the Bookmark Manager operate more efficiently and therefore more quickly.

I have auto update enabled. I would like to disable the notification webpage that is shown when and that Firefox has been updated. Is there any way to do this? TLDR: How do I remove the "What's new" webpage that starts every time Firefox is updated.

I am trying to install firefox on my new work laptop. The OS is Windows 11 Pro. It came with an ARM CPU. Specifically: Snapdragon(R) X Elite - X1E80100 - Qualcomm(R) Oryon(TM) CPU. Everytime I try and install Firefox, which is probably over 10 tries by now, it fails with generic errors. I have tried cleaning everything Firefox related off the PC before subsequent attempts and still get the same errors. I am including a screenshot of what I see shortly after starting the install process.

cannot open allmusic.com website anymore on firefox. this website opens fine on other browsers. Only Firefox is the problem. Any suggestions?

Some Firefox option is adblocking some links in Publishers Clearing House emails. The same emails work OK in Safari. There are no adblockers (now or ever installed) on this Mac. It's not the end of the world for me but it should be fixed for possible future use.

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?

I received this email to exhibitdesign@yahoo.com

I always use Mozilla/Firefox for this and have for a few years. It says that I created an account 2 weeks ago.

Here is the email I received:

"A couple of weeks ago you created a Mozilla account, but never confirmed it. For your security, we will delete the account if not verified in the next 24 hours."

Is this a legitimate email?

Yesterday I updated Firefox to version 115.22.0esr this morning when it was released. Have never had any problems viewing video on Netflix but now I am getting Netflix error message F7702-1003. Yesterday I asked "what can I do? I've rebooted computer as Netflix says and it didn't help."

Today, to see if the issue was a bug with version 115.22.0 esr I logged onto both Peacock and Hoopla to try to stream video. On both sites the same thing happened that happened on Netflix. I log into the site, select a video, and when I try to play it I get a message that "widevineCdm plugin has crashed" and video won't play.

Since this problem just appeared after I updated to version 115.22.0 esr it seems likely that there is a bug in this version which is crashing the plugin and preventing streaming video. I note that I can stream some video having checked both YouTube and an online television station.
