Firefox Community Forum

I opened my Firefox web site the other day and it said that I my account was disconnected. As far as I was concerned I had not disconnected it, but as I am 83 years old and my computer knowledge is not very good, I may have done so accidentaly. Anyway I tried to get started again. After a day or so I finally got to where it asked for my email address and password, which I filled in, only to be sent a 6 figure code which I was to enter to prove it was me, but as I could not get onto my Web page, I could enter what this code was.

This worked correctly before the recent Firefox update; the problem appeared immediately after updating Firefox a week of so ago.

Firefox 153.0.3 does not save session when Firefox is closed

Since the latest Firefox update, Firefox no longer restores my open tabs after closing and restarting the browser.

Firefox version: 153.0.3 (64-bit) Operating system: Windows 11

My Firefox startup setting is enabled:

Open previous windows and tabs

However, this setting no longer works.

Steps to reproduce Start Firefox normally. Open several websites in separate tabs (I tested with 3–5 tabs). Close Firefox normally using the Firefox menu / Exit. Start Firefox again. Actual result

All previously open tabs are gone.

They are also NOT available under:

History → Recently Closed Tabs

There is no usable previous session to restore.

Troubleshooting

I repeated the same test in Firefox Troubleshoot Mode, with the same result.

Therefore this does not appear to be caused by an extension.

Session files

I checked the Firefox profile's sessionstore-backups folder.

The folder contains, among others:

previous.jsonlz4 recovery.jsonlz4 recovery.baklz4 several upgrade.jsonlz4-... files

After testing with several open tabs, the current recovery.jsonlz4 and recovery.baklz4 files were only about 2.4 KB in size.

This suggests that Firefox is not correctly saving the current browsing session when it is closed.

The problem started after a recent Firefox update. Before that update, session restore worked normally.

I would appreciate it if this could be investigated as a possible Session Restore regression in Firefox 153.0.3.

It used to be really easy. I have Firefox set to open lots of tabs when starting. If I then decide I don't want some of those tabs any more I simply closed those tabs and then went to settings and there was a button to save my Homepage. Then I closed Firefox and next time I started it all my tabs, less those not required, would open. Now that doesn't seem to be possible.

How do I just get rid of the not required tabs? And, in the future, if I want to add more tabs how do I get them to open next time I start Firefox?

Is there another way to reopen my recently closed tabs which happened yesterday. When I hit the HISTORY button, the arrow I tried to open ( 'recently closed tabs' ) was not accessible (grey). Or did I accidentally hit a wrong button without noticing it, and how can I reverse it if I did? Thanks in advance.

I am unable to log in to Facebook. I enter my email and password (both correct) then another page comes up asking me to log in. I click on log in and a verification page appears and disappears before I can click the "I'm not a robot" button. It then gets stuck in an endless loop. Incidentally, it keeps trying to log me in on a Facebook business page. What's that all about? Grrr.

Hello, I've been using Firefox for years, but last couple months or so - it's been losing Internet connection - I have to stop and restart it and all ok - somtimes for 5 mins - sometimes for 15 or so - but it's doing my head in :) Any help appreciated - Thanks

I want to make the switch from Chrome to FF (to continue using UBO), and a problem I keep running into is media not displaying in Twitter(X)'s DMs while using Private Browsing mode. It only comes up as a gray block that says "Failed to Load" with "Retry" under it, but it never loads. It also asks that I re-enter my DM password every time the page reloads.

Everything works fine in a regular browser tab, the issues only occur in Private Browsing.

I have tried disabling UBO, disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection, and clicking the little shield icon in the URL and turning that off, too. Looking this up really didn't give me any results that actually helped, either.

Help would be much appreciated! This really is the last big hang-up I have to not switch.

Здравствуйте. Я установил сертификаты по инструкции, которая лежит на s.sber.ru/70VQ2B . После этого в мозилле не прогружается полностью окно входа на online.sberbank.ru, не видно содержимого фреймов (сейчас попробую сделать скриншот). В Microsoft Edge работа нормальная. Удаление сертификатов, перезапуск браузера и компьютера не помогли. На других компьютерах ещё не проверял. Посоветуйте, пожалуйста, что можно сделать. Windows 10, Firefox 153.0.3 (64-разрядный).

For the last two or three weeks, when i open a tab that I have entered the URL for, a second tab opens right next to it advertising some service or advertising something. I don't know why this started and I don't know how to get rid of it

I have written about this before, but the problems have multiplied. I've been keeping track of all the sites that I can't access in Firefox, and over the last month or so alone, there have been 23 instances of this. Not only not being able to access actual websites, but other connectivity issues. Several examples:

First, my local newspaper e-Edition comes up in a huge format that is unreadable and cannot be made smaller. It works fine on the Brave browser.

Different example: My daughter sent me several different links over a few days on Facebook Messenger to Amazon products that I wanted to buy. Her message is there, but the link/photo isn't. This renders completely normally on Brave.

Some other examples are restaurant menus listed on the restaurant's website, a Word Search puzzle from the L.A. Times, financial websites in which I have accounts. The list is seemingly endless. My last attempt to get support for this problem did not lead to any fix. This all occurs whether or not my adBlockers are turned off.

As a Firefox user since its inception, I don't like having to go to another browser, but the situation has been getting more and more untenable.

Hi. Every time I go into youtube, the sound cuts out after about an hour. I then have to go to settings, volume mixer and Mozilla Firefox and click on the X to get the sound back. Youtube has assured me this is not their problem, but a Mozilla one. I've been with Firefox for many many years and have never had this problem. Could you please advise me as to what to do about this ? Thank you.

I couldn't see password management page. To be specific, I click the "password" option in the top right corner lists. Normally it will show all the website that firefox saved, but now I couldn't see anything except frame. I will upload the interfance that I see. this problem happend since an update. And problem contines after several patches. The firefox version that I use is "153.0.3(64-bit)" please help!

HI All Recently purchased a laptop and want to have FF sync with my desk top. I am signed in to both devices with the same account and have checked all settings on both and they are identical. Why are they not syncing?
