Firefox iOS updated this morning to 143.1 In private browsing it’s in dark mode automatically and won’t change even if changing to light in the settings.

Any help? Steve

So I recently reinstalled windows and noticed that if I select the option that asks me each time where a file should be saved before downloading it, the browser appears to begin downloading the file (I can see the .part file in the default folder) but the window that actually allows me to browse for a location in windows explorer never shows up and thus, I am not able to actually download the file. However, if I select the "pick a folder and everything will download to that folder" option, it downloads just fine. I'm wondering if there was a way to reinstall firefox but keep all if not most of my settings and tabs etc.

Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

Thank you!

For the past few weeks, my Firefox app for android has been asking me to rate it in the app store everytime I open it. I've already rated and reviewed it in 2022, so there's nothing more for me to do. I tried editing my previous review to see if that would help but it hasn't. At first, regardless of which option I hit (whether I'm having a good or bad experience), it did nothing and just let me continue using the app. Recently, it's been bringing me to the app store everytime regardless of with option I hit, which is getting a bit frustrating. Is there anything I can do to get it to stop prompting me to rate it?

I have an entry in my address book which I want to update. I right click on the listing and a popup menu appears which includes "Edit". I select that, make changes, but I find no way to SAVE the changes I entered. How do I save the changes?

I have a chromebook with linux enabled and installed firefox according to mozilla's instruction - via the sudo get-apt command. The cursor changes from the default to a very small adwaita. I've spent hours googling this issue and everyone I've come across had used some third party repo or was trying to shove in their own custom cursor theme. Literally all I want is my regular cursor back, and I have no clue why mozilla would have a specifically set cursor for their browser instead of just having it default to os. I don't really know what I'm doing here, but I cannot begin to state how tired I am of messing with this dead-end issue.

Seem to get this (or similar) error frequently. It's like the things I set randomly revert or change. Have sent images of settings. I certainly don't know what to do.

I'm begining to regret installing v146.0!

One of the most useful features of Firefox is the PDF editor and with this update, I've found that after annotating a PDF with several text boxes, clicking the text box icon (as shown in the attached screenshot) does absolutely nothing and it is impossible to enter any further text. The only way out of this is to refresh the pdf (after saving otherwise all changes will be lost) and then starting all over again only for the error to repeat itself making the editor almost unusable. Would really appreciate knowing how to work around this especially since to make my notes clearer, I change the color and the font size which is all lost everytime I have to refresh the PDF :-(

Incidentally, why are there so many updates? I prefer stable software that works rather than 'new features' that I never use!

Finally, Firefox used to have an amazing facility of making the Firefox private browser the default browser for Windows 10 but this was removed some years ago and can only be reinstated by changing registry keys. Everytime there's an update, these registry keys are overwritten :-(. Why was such a useful feature removed please?

Thanks in advance.

Bank Accounts: I can no longer access my Bank accnts online. My Bank says they no longer support my current version (ESR) & I must upgrade in order to access accnts online. Don't know what to do.

When I open an email messages in message pane the window is really small. I resize the window, using ctrl+ scroll, but next time when I open thunderbird goes back to being the same small size again. How do I get Thunderbird to persist the messages size that I would prefer?

I am using Version 146.0, released December 9, 2025, on a Win 11 Pro, v. 25H2 pc. No problems until today. Messages won't download from two AT&T (ameritech.net) accounts. T-bird is not asking for mail key. No change after restarting T-bird; same result after rebooting pc. How do I restore email access? Thanks.

I have three accounts set up in Thunderbird and my "ALL MAIL" folder has disappeared from my GMAIL ACCOUNTS. I did however appear to have 2 x Archive folders but in schofijnet10 one has disappeared in john.schofield10 i have 2 x DRAFT Folders and 2 x Sent folders in schofijnetQaol I have 2 x ARCHIVE and 2 x SPAM Folders Please see the image

I can complete the sign in and enter my password, and then I get a spinning wheel and can no longer click on the tabs or minimize the window. I have to force close it and it shows as not signed it. I've also tried signing in using my phone and the QR code, same thing. This happens with or without 2FA, I turned it off and the issue persists. Everything else about the browser works completely but I can't sync across devices without the Mozilla login working.

The system asks me to sign in using my passkey or to try another way. The screen is frozen - can't enter passkey, can't choose another way. The only way out is to close firefox. I have no problem signing in with a different browser (Safari).
