Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

After updating to Firefox 147.0.3 all of my browser history (along with open tabs at the time of updating) is lost. I just updated to Windows 11 workstations (plus a couple of older Windows 10 workstations) to the current (Feb 2026) updates too. However the history data was lost before the Windows updates. I noticed that with the previous update of Firefox that saved login information was also lost. Who is doing your program updates, a chimp?

In the past when an update was done the browser would open back up with all of the previous versions session tabs in tact. But not now.

I've lost several tabs of research that was being done. Based on what has been happening, I will HAVE to change to some other browser. This is a shame as I've been a loyal Firefox user since day one. Good bye Mozilla and Firefox.

Hi! So I have Windows 10, but don't know if that's what's causing these issues. Certain websites, that is, Instagram, Bluesky, Youtube, Yahoo, Facebook, and Norwegian news site NRK, as far as I've seen, are not loading properly. Insta and NRK are in simple mode, no matter how many times I refresh Yahoo initially says "failed to load", then resolves itself upon refreshing, but it's really annoying to have to refresh for every message and going back to the main inbox Youtube videos are stuck on the spinny wheel of death, and along with Reddit, one other symptom is that the profile pictures won't load. Reddit posts also won't load beyond the first few, and "continue thread" doesn't do anything Facebook won't load at all, still nothing as I refreshed just now. Bluesky, I'm not sure is Firefox's fault, or what, but I get the "Oops network error", at least on one user, it turns out, but not another, nor on Bluesky main page (I swear, it sometimes feels like at least Meta has something against Vivienne Medrano, because I was also having issues with Insta not showing posts in full screen mode before this became an issue, and it was only majority Hellaverse accounts that had these issues. The Bluesky account that won't load is also a Hellaverse account. Either way, that's not here nor there regarding this issue)

What on Earth is going on?! Is it that I have too many tabs? I do have around 1000 tabs, which I guess could be an issue, but it hasn't been until today, two or so hours ago. I was even fine last night! Is 1000 the limit, or something? I do have some ad removers, which btw, some other video watching sites suddenly won't load the videos unless I turn the adblocks off, not cool

Please respond quickly, I am losing my mind here /halfjoking -Helene

Examples of webpages I've entered today that receive an error message are https://leafscape.com & Mint Mobile

"Oops, your browser's HLS setting is too low." Trying to stream, in browser, and I'm completely blocked today. The browser says it's fully updated. And yet.

Whatever the case, where and how do I check and/or adjust the HLS setting?

I run Firefox on Fedora Linux (Silverblue). For several releases I've noticed that the reader mode only displays the Close Reader View, Text and Layout, and Theme options and nothing else i.e. no content.

When I run it in troubleshooting mode, it works. I've tried disabling all my extensions, deleting all my extensions,restoring the browser to default settings but nothing makes a difference. I'm always on the latest release (currently 147.0.3). I currently have multiple profiles, but it didn't work even before I rebuilt them. I'm out of ideas.

Any help is appreciated

Most of the keyboard shortcuts are not working. Copy-paste works, but others for example, Ctrl + F doesn't work. Very confusing and frustrating. Attached is the screenshot of Browser Console and it does show missing attributes. Not sure if this is a browser issue (currently using 147.0.3 (64-bit)) or I need to make certain change settings. I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.

When Fox News has a new article and I click on it to read, I now get a 500 Error over a blank page. Is there a way to correct this? It has never happened before and only seems to have appeared in the last update of last week.

Thanks for any help. Rick

After it updated to 147.0.3 it says that it is not compatibile with miniversion 147.0.2 nor with maxiversion 147.0.2. It suggests re installing (done) so can now at least access Mozilla again but still says at varying times not compatible etc. It is Windows 10 Any suggestions?

Dear Folks at Firefox, Mozilla

In last few days I really have a big problem with trying to browse with my favorite browser Firefox. It is that cursor always goes to address bar instead of search bar when I am trying to surf the web. I tried all the fixes that I found online with changing things in about:config still with no solution.

I am running on Windos 11 and using latest Firefox version.

Kind regards Aljosha Mileta

When I try to exit the fire fox browser I delete all cookies then select exit and close it out. However when start my computer the next time I get a message that fire fox is already running and if I hit the cancel button it freezes the screen and I have no options to move on. So how should you do a normal shutdown off the browser?

Please return my Computer to using Firefox default as my browser as it was 2/01 /2026.Ive tried several times to do this w/o success . I was using windows 11 and have been trying to get rid of MS365 which I never used but have been charged for a solution , but have been blocked and refused cancellation after they asked me to change my email address and PW . Insanely confusing !

Hi there,

I am trying to access this site: https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ I am logged in on the site with my membership, which is up to date.

But whenever I try to search a word, it redirects me to the login page. I can only assume that something is wrong with my cookies, privacy settings, and extensions in Firefox. After having cleared my cache, allowed cookies for the site in question, and messed around a bit more with my settings, the problem persists.

This is not happening for any other sites. Can you help? Thank you!

Desktop Firefox 147.0.3 (64-bit) When I open Facebook, pictures of accounts are continually blinking (not flickering). This problem is new and appeared just after last Firfeox update.
