Hey there! System: Windows 10 x64, Firefox Nightly.

Problem: Out of the blue, when I start Firefox Nightly (I think 2-3 days ago), it just crashed with no extra info. I see the "window of the update process", it goes to the middle or to the end, immediately closes and doesn't bring up the Crash reporter. However! When I tried to run a Nightly Installer that I downloaded through Chrome, it quietly runs and then just opens up my browser no problem, profile and all. I checked and it seems to be the exact same .exe file (according to the Task Manager).

So in short: it breaks if I run it straight from my usual shortcut, or with .exe. But if I run the installer myself, the browser opens up fine.

However, the installer didn't bring any new updates that would fix the problem, I have this for 2-3 days now, I don't remember. I start working, I see I didn't fix it and run the installer again.

Any ideas on the fix? I would love to not lose my profile, settings and, if possible, tabs. I'll try disabling all the extensions after I post this, I don't think they contribute, though (seeing how the external Firefox Nightly Installer opens up my browser just fine).

Thanks in advance!

I am currently on 133.0a1 (2024-10-04) (64-bit) Nightly and the new tab button to the right of the tabs is missing. It will show up sometimes, but I have to go to customize and move some things around, then start browsing and it will pop back up.

I use that button often, how do I get that back?

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.

Good morning,

We are seeing that the key "DisableAppUpdate" being set to TRUE in about:policies. Not sure why this setting is being set. The result of the setting is "Updates disabled by your organization". So we cannot manually update firefox and are not sure why the setting is being set.

We used Procmon to capture logs:

Line 5169544: "2:29:45.2062951 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169546: "2:29:45.2063211 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169547: "2:29:45.2063338 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169548: "2:29:45.2063563 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1"

Is there anything in Firefox that can trigger the setting of this key?

My links on Firefox worked until I upgraded my Mac OS to Sequoia 15. Now the browser does not even get active and keeps buffering. Where is the problem and what can I do to solve it?

Thank you!

There used to be an option for a separate search window on the address bar. I found it really useful especially for a instant spell check. The option was there then after an update, it wasn't. WHY WHY WHY????? Is there any way for me to put it back? I hate using the address bar to search! Unless I open a new tab or window, regaining control of the prior tab/window is difficult.

Good morning,

When I attempt to download the Firefox 115.16.0esr 32 bit download from the site it will only supply me with the Firefox Setup 128.3.0esr. I have tried several times with the same result. Given my PC is far from thr newest (funding prevents large outlays) I must continue with my older 32bit system but try to keep as current as possible with updates.

Please can you advise as to what is going wrong or where I can download the update I need?

Many thanks in anticipation,

John Andrews

My Linux distro is Debian 12.7.0, 64bit, US English.

Can I use firefox-115.16.0esr.tar.bz2 instead of firefox-128.3.0esr.tar.bz2?

There's this statement in Release notes. It says:

Version 115.16.0, first offered to ESR channel users on October 1, 2024" Firefox ESR 115 is now supported only on Windows 7-8.1 and macOS 10.12-10.14. Users on other operating systems should use Firefox ESR 128 instead.

But I am not using Microsoft Windows or macOS as my operating system.

Thanks for your help.

After recent update bookmarks disappeared. When I restore them and then close firefox developer edition the bookmarks toolbar is gone again. It seems like a bug in that recent update. Please advise.

I updated a few days ago and I noticed that dragging and dropping a tab is creating a copy of the tab in the place where I drop it, instead of moving the tab which was the previous behavior in older versions.

Good morning,

I am developing a browser add-on for Firefox. I would like to ask a question. Is it possible to publish the add-on in an unlisted way, but making sure that when it is installed in the browser it always maintains the same internal UUID (which does not correspond to the add-on ID)? If it is not possible to do this by publishing it unlisted, would it be possible to do so by publishing it in your store in a listed way?

I await your kind reply Thank you, best regards

Is there software that will being me (more or less) up to date? I'm pretty much computer illiterate, so keeping it simple would be greatly appreciated. Buying a new iMac and transferring files is a last resort...
