Modifier Keys will not work at the same time in Developer Edition

I have 2 instances of Firefox: I use stable for all my professional work, and I use Developer Edition (Aurora Channel) for personal things. The stable branch works fine. In Aurora though, certain key combos will not work. This even persists in troubleshooting (safe) mode.

Specifically, it seems anything using both ctrl+alt will not register alt, only ctrl. alt, alt+shift, and ctrl+shift all seem to work fine, but ctrl+alt and ctrl+alt+shift do not. Again, this works fine in stable, so I am clueless as to why it doesn't work in my other instance.

Another detail is that this happens on multiple websites, not just one. The post prominent one is Google Sheets. In sheets, you can insert the date using `ctrl+;`, the time using `ctrl+shift+;`, and both using `ctrl+alt+shift+;`. Inserting them separately works fine, but both causes only one to insert.

I am repeatedly getting this pop up window after starting my computer and selecting the Firefox icon in the toolbar to start the browser. When using the Firefox browser I always update Firefox when prompted, so it should be the latest version, unlike what it states in the popup window. If I want to use the browser, I have to sign in to the browser and sync my data and I have to re load all my tabs from my history. It is time consuming to the point where my colleagues who were using Firefox have uninstalled Firefox and are now using a different browser. I could do the same...but I want a solution. I'm using Windows 11.

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?

I had an issue with the hidden task bar not showing up when I moved my cuser to the bottom of the screen, so I was "playing around" and messed it up. I created another profile, but lost all my bookmarks and so forth. I copied files from my old profile to the new profile, but now I can't get to michaels.com - it won't load. Also, I have my yahoo mail tab looks like it's loading, but I got in my email and when I went to blackforrest.com it does the same thing.

I still have the issue of my task bar not "unhidding" when I go to the bottom of the screen. I have to minimize my screens to see the task bar.

Can you help, please?

Firefox seems to update in the background, then accuses me of launching an older version, wiping my bookmarks

I'm running Firefox 139.0.1 on Mac Sonoma 14.7.1.

Since FF V138, I've had this extremely frustrating problem where, approximately once a day and while the application is still running, Firefox seems to either auto-revert to an older version' 'or otherwise mess up the installation files. I don't get any notice this is happening until I try to open a new tab and it brings up the "You must restart Firefox" notice. When I click Restart, it pops up with "You've launched an older version of Firefox, so you won't keep any of your bookmarks because that would be unstable" error.

The only way I've found to fix it is to redownload the most recent install files, which, after the fresh install, will allow me to keep using Firefox with my bookmarks for the next 5-6 hours, before the whole process starts again.

I theoretically have auto-updates off; my settings are set to the other option, "Check for updates but let you choose to install them". Doesn't seem to make a difference. It only does this on my Mac; the FF install on my Windows machine works fine.

I really want to keep using FF. It's my preferred personal browser. But this is really messing with me! I was hopeful that 139.1 would fix it but same issue, so far.

Whenever I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it brings up a system error that says, "The code execution cannot proceed because C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmls64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I've tried completely deleting Firefox and reinstalling and it opens a new tab, but when I close it i get the same error message.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Whenever I load a website that needs location (for example, Google Maps or my province's lottery) and enable location permissions, the websites come back saying they cannot find my location.

I have refreshed Firefox, disabled all Enhanced Tracking Protection, disabled all extensions, and have even ran Firefox in Troubleshoot mode - all to no avail. Is there any way this can be fixed? These websites all work on Chrome and Edge and work on my Firefox for iPhone.

On Windows 10 22H2.

Multiple times a day when switching tabs the entire screen will turn gray and become entirely unresponsive, requiring me to close and restart the app. This has been happening for weeks. It does this regardless of the number of tabs I have open, and continues to do this even after clearing the cache. There is also no report for it in about:crashes.

When the app is going to turn fully grey when opening a new tab when I scroll down and the address bar moves away there is a gray box where it used to be. Also, when opening a new tab the homepage won't appear; there is no "jump back in" or "recently visited" section, just a fully gray background.

Firefox crashing immediately after install, won't open

I'm trying to install Firefox on my work computer (ARM64 version), but when I do I'm getting the crash report window at the end of the installation process (multiple times in a row), if I try to open the browser (only once), and during the uninstallation process (also multiple times in a row). I've tried a clean reinstall multiple times, including deleting the folders from program files, %APPDATA%, and all registry entries I could find (HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>SOFTWARE, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE>>WOW6432Node).

I've contacted IT and they don't seem to think anything pre-installed should be affecting this. I'm unable to get a crash ID as I'm unable to even start the browser - all I get is the Firefox crash reporter, immediately. Is someone able to help me figure out why I can't get this working?
