When accessing Outlook (https://outlook.office.com) using Firefox ESR version 128.9.0 and attempting to download a file attached to an email, the string 'UTF-8' is automatically inserted at the beginning of the file name, which is causing issues. This phenomenon does not occur with other browsers such as Edge or Chrome.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Until a week or two ago, Amazon Prime Video worked without a problem on my Firefox browser. Now I cannot get Prime Video to open any show, nor can I access previous episodes of any show. I tried removing all my add-ons, including all my ad blockers and making Prime Video an exception to the enhanced Firefox browser feature. Nothing worked. Can someone at Firefox fix this problem or tell me why it happened? I CAN use prime video without difficulty on Safari and Chrome.

I have Firefox's New Tab set as my home page, since I'm choosing to divorce myself from political doomscrolling for the next four years. The New Tab page is perfect for having frequently visited sites at the top, Pocket stories I can curate in the middle, and what used to be a history of articles and sites I've read most recently in "Recent Activity" along the bottom. Within the last few days, "Recent Activity" has been blank, and will no longer keep track of articles I've recently read. I've tried clearing the browser history and cookies, and it came back for a moment, but quickly went back to being blank. And the major downside to clearing the browser is that my four rows of most frequently visited sites gets wiped clean also, and I have to spend time getting them back on the list. I do not have Firefox set to automatically clear history upon closing it. I've tried turning "Recent Activity" off and on with the page's Settings (cog in the bottom right corner). I'd really like to have this back, as it can help me find recently read content (especially Pocket content) easier than wading through the History log. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

I had two profiles, was in the process of trying to learn how to use the 2nd profile (as seen in the link below), which I still have no answer for. Somehow, maybe I held down SHIFT for too long and clicked on something by accident, idk, but somehow, I ended up REFRESHING the 2nd profile, causing it to delete everything I had done with it, and it backed up the old profile onto my desktop in the process. I figured I could just simply delete the new profile folder it had created and put back my old profile in the profile folder, but now, Firefox will not open at all, saying "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." How do I get it to recognize the profile folders again? OMG, I'm using Microsoft Edge, please, get me out of this!

I am blocked from opening my Asus Router in Firefox for Mac. I added the router's address to every exception list I could find in Settings and still no luck. I can reach the router through Safari and through Firefox and Edge on a Windows 11 machine. I like my present Security settings on my Mac except for this annoyance. Can anyone suggest a workaround or a setting change that would fix this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, this is a weird one.

I can't load https://duckduckgo.com. It breaks search in a new tab, but I also can't visit it directly from the url. The tab simply does not load.

I've cleared cache, cookies, and extensions. I've refreshed Firefox more than once.

I can visit https://html.duckduckgo.com. I can visit https://lite.duckduckgo.com.

However! In a private window, I can visit https://duckduckgo.com It still breaks in a secondary normal window.

No other site appears to be broken.

Every so often for the past few days this "unfinished" program window has appeared on my pc on top of a normal Firefox window (see attached png). Does this have something to do with Firefox? I think the same thing appears when I first open Firefox, then it gets "filled in" and appears as a normal Firefox window. I am running Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 build 19045.5247 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0.

On the Dallas Theological Seminary site, only this site, suddenly I'm unable to login - it doesn't recognize my password. Nor will it allow me to make a donation. I complete the donation form and it just keeps going round and round "processing" but never does it. I cleared my cache, re-started my laptop, made sure Win 11 is updated, still same problem. I did not try disabling extensions because they haven't changed in a long time. I opened it in incognito window and was able to login and make donation there. However I could not log in to my Gmail account from there. I went to a different laptop that runs Opera browser and logged into DTS just fine. This problem just started. Until recently I had no trouble with this site.

The same address www.nebula.fi works fine in Edge browser, which claims: Connection is secure. This site has a valid certificate, issued by a trusted authority.

I would prefer using Firefox. Is it somehow possible?
