I believe I got an automatic update to Version 154.0 yesterday on my Windows 11 laptop. When I opened Firefox after the update I got stuck

My Bookmarks appear to still be available, but my passwords are gone. The passwords are still available on my iPhone and iPad

I have tried syncing to no avail.

I need my passwords. How can I get them back?

I've been using Firefox for so many years I don't use any other browser unless a site doesn't work,then I use 'Opera' (very infrequent). I updated Firefox to v154.0 and now searching does not work properly.

I used to be able to enter a question into the bar/box where one would normally view any given URL, select return, and Firefox would bring up Yahoo! search results.

With this update, that doesn't work. When I select return the URL that had been in the space just reappears. If I visit the Yahoo! main page and try to use the search box with the magnifying/eye-glass, it launches a blank tab.

I'm forced to use the AI icon to get a search result. I do NOT want to use that feature.

Also, with Firefox 154.0 I cannot remove other search engines. With every update I remove Google, Bing, Duck-Duck-Go, Wiki, Amazon, etc. because I ONLY want one search engine, Yahoo!

I checked the Yahoo!Search Extension and made sure all the "allow" buttons needed were selected.

I want to remove the other search engines from the Settings tab, and I would like to have the same behavior prior to the update: simply type my question or text into the main html bar/box and select return, and get results.

I see that other had an issue starting with version 142 or so that was similar, but I've not had this issue until two days ago.

Any help is appreciated. And yes I delete my cache etc. regularly. I'm on Mac OS 15.7.7 and again, it has never been a problem until updating Firefox to v154.

I got a pop-up when windows started that I was using an older version of Firefox and my bookmarks could become corrupted. It also said that when I updated that my data/bookmarks would transfer, now all my history, logins and bookmarks are gone. I can't believe I have to put this on a forum, I need actual support.

I want to be able to restore my bookmarks from a backup file I created, but I cannot get it to restore my bookmarks. Also, this seems to be a recent problem. How do I prevent it from happening again? I am not actively deleting my entire bookmarks menu.

As of 20 August 2026 Firefox update, my right-click menu is messed up. It USED to be black with white text; now it's unreadable gray with slightly darker gray text. Putting Firefox in "Dark Mode" brings that back, but makes everything ELSE completely unusable. I use the "default" setting under the Appearance Settings, and always have (as in really always, from the day Firefox was first available). I use "Orion Nebula Center" by Lightyear, and have done for years. Disabling it doesn't do anything as far as the right-click window. I've uploaded a screenie of the specific menu, in case my description isn't clear. I did try a Firefox "recommended" add-on called Stylebot, but it appears to work only on a specific element of a specific page, and not globally to correct the issue on any/all windows. How can I get the black background, white text version of the right-click menu back? Thanks!

I'm encountering some UI errors with the last couple updates. With an update from a couple weeks ago, I noticed when viewing PDFs in the browser, random characters would be invisible, and in Google Sheets I'd notice some cells appeared blank, though selecting them showed that there was text inside. I also noticed disappearing text in a Google Doc I was working on. Now with the update that was just released today (154.0) all PDFs, and entire screens in Sheets and Docs, and other random graphic elements, are showing up as just flat black (see attached screenshot). My job involves working with spreadsheets and PDFs a lot so this is severely impacting my workflow, and I am reluctantly working in a different browser today.

I did a browser refresh, and then I uninstalled and re-installed, and that didn't help anything. What should I try next?

I should note I am using Firefox on Windows 11. I am not experiencing any issues with Firefox on iOS or Mac OS.

Edit: I was able to troubleshoot and fix this by disabling hardware acceleration under performance settings. Problem solved!

Latest Stable Firefox, windows, over 4000 tabs. Overall Firefox works great for me. but when I restart it to install the latest versions etc, it only restores one active/loaded tab per window. Rest are restored, but in a closed/unloaded state. I usually have 5-20 open tabs per window, and hundreds more unloaded, it's how I work. How on earth can I get it to restore all the open/loaded tabs as they were, not in the unloaded state they default to?

Issue still occurs in a new install with no addons, default settings, under 30 tabs etc. Ditto Win 10 or 11.

Also, how on earth can I get official Mozzilla pages to use Dark Mode??

I had to do a refresh of Firefox to its default settings and have the copy of the old data folder sitting on my desktop. How do I restore it back to the state it was before doing the refresh ? Does this also restore the automatic login for sites where I had checked the "Remember Me" button on my initial login?

I have to use Edge in order to edit my Etsy shop..I can still do everything else in Etsy with Firefox. this all changed after the last Firefox upgrade a couple days ago

После обновления начали намертво подвисать странички (на данный момент заметил на youtube и в google, при попытке войти в аккаунт кнопка просто не прожимается), как выяснилось причина в том, что новое обновление не совместимо с расширением absplayer, когда его отключаю всё работает исправно. Что делать в такой ситуации, и будет ли патч в ближайшее время? Расширение мне крайне необходимо, а с их стороны никаких обновлений также нет

I turned off my HP computer with Windows 11 on August 1. Everything was working fine at that time. When I turned it on again on August 18, everything worked except email. I can get email on my iphone, but not on my computer. I spent over an hour trouble-shooting with someone representing my email server, tds.net, with no resolution. I tried to access my email thru Firefox, my usual browser, as well as thru Edge. The message I get when trying to access my tds email is: "The connection has timed out. The server at mail.tds.net is taking too long to respond." I then went to an IT specialist who tried everything he could, including disabling Bitdefender, and nothing worked. I then tried to open an email account with gmail.com and received this message: "The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox can’t connect to the server at accounts.google.com." I don't know what else to try. Everything I read said the it is likely a problem with my anti-virus software, but the problem still exists when that is turned off. Is there anything else I can try???

The Windows Firefox desktop program disappeared from my work computer, and now there is no recoverable profile that has all of my work bookmarks. Our IT company checked local backups and there's no data from before the random uninstall. They also did a system restore point with no luck. None of the help articles from Firefox or online are solving the issue. Help!

My macbook ran aFirefox update, when i opened the application, my history, bookmarks and passwords were missing. I was able to locate the previous profile from the previous version of Firefox which I used to restore the bookmarks. But for some reason my passwords are still missing. On the old profile folder (backed up one) I can see the logins.json and Key4.db files which I copied to my current Firefox profile folder but im still not able to access my passwords and autofills. Please assist.

All worked fine before I assidentally updated. Befire, I clicked rmb and then "Copy" and then I could click on a desctop or folder with rmb and "paste". Not the "paste" field id grey like it never been copied in the first place, even though I can paste the image into paint or messanger or anywhere else. I don't want any workarounds like "save as" every time I want to save something. How do I change it back Everything worked fine before I accidentally updated. Before that, I would right-click, hit "Copy" and then paste it on the desktop or in a folder. Now the "Paste" option is greyed out, as if nothing was ever copied, even though I can still paste the image into paint messenger or anywhere else. I don't want workarounds like using "Save As" every time. How do I change it back?
