Recently clicked to update to the next version of Firefox. Then I get the message "Restart to Update Firefox." I restart Firefox but the message is still there when I click Help > About Firefox. It would appear that the update did not happen for some reason. Do I need to re-install Firefox to get around this problem?

I have Firefox version 136.0.2. I think it was quite recently updated. The right click menu is broken. The choice list is much longer, and the choices "open link in new tab" and "copy link" (ones I tried) do not work. This only started happening this morning. Right click works fine in Chrome. Screenshot included.

I can X one of them closed, but they both come back when I close a website after viewing. Is there something I can do in settings to fix this? It's a recent thing that I must have changed accidentally. Thank you.

I am trying to upload my picture as an avatar in Gravatar. I keep getting an error message and it won't upload. I read the following message--Please note: If you encounter the error message, “WebGL is not supported or disabled in your browser,” please ensure that the necessary browser settings are enabled.

I'm wondering how I do that.

After recent updates, I’ve been having issues with cookies. Whenever I open Firefox and perform a new Google search, it shows that I’m logged out and the cookie consent popup appears. I have to refresh the page for it to work properly. After refreshing, the cookies load, I’m logged in, and the popup disappears. This issue isn’t limited to Google Search—it happens on about 90% of the websites I try to access right after launching Firefox.

"Capture more" scrolling screenshot not working on Firefox Android?

Since Android 12, many apps can take "scrolling screenshots" that capture more than just the currently-visible part of the screen, with an aptly labeled "capture more" button. I noticed that when screenshotting a webpage in Firefox Android, I don't have the option to do this. When screenshotting the same webpage in a Chromium browser, I do. (See screenshots: 1st is Firefox, 2nd is Chrome)

Is this a bug, or a known FF limitation? Is it on the devs' roadmap?

Variant of "Thunderbird is showing two of everything I send" - for OUTLOOK

I've read the original query from romanroad (4/23/24) and the replies, which related to Gmail. I have the same problem but with a slightly different set-up, which those replies don't cover. My query relates to Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) using IMAP to link with Outlook emails. A reply from sfhowes - 4/24/24, 10:26 AM said [with my numbering] [1] "Right-click the account in the Folder Pane, Subscribe..., uncheck the Sent folder and check the Sent Mail folder." [2] "Also, make the change in Copies & Folders in Account Settings

re [1] When I Right-click the account in the Folder Pane, Subscribe..., I can uncheck the Sent folder BUT there is no Sent Mail folder. (Folders are Archive, Deleted (with subfolder POP), Drafts, INBOX, Junk, Notes, Outbox and Sent [as well as 3 personal folders].) Both Outbox and Sent were checked. If I uncheck the Sent box, leaving Outbox checked, the Sent folder empties completely; if I then check it again, it refills all the sent messages from years back (presumably from Outlook because of IMAP.) re [2] In Account Settings I had unchecked the "Place a copy in:" option - but am still getting duplicates. I do want a copy of what I have sent - just not two of everything.

For some reason, IDM will not work in Firefox/DuckDuckGo. even though it worked a couple of weeks ago. I contacted IDM support who have tried everything they have, but no change.

Here is the issue: 1. I open Firefox (Duck Duck Go is my default) (132.0.2 (64-bit) 2. I type "vintage sci fi movies" 3. Click on "videos" 4. Pick any movie (example: The Phantom Planet (black and white but this does not matter) 5. In the Choose How you Watch, I click the left icon - Watch Here, and not Watch on YouTube; also click Remember my choice 6. The movie starts but there is no IDM dialogue 7. If I then click Watch on YouTube inside the movie, it switches to YouTube and the movie starts, AND the IDM dialogue pops up.

As I said, this worked in Firefox/DDG a couple of weeks ago.

IDM version is 6.42 Build 23, full (paid for) version Oct 15 2024 The IDM Integration Module in Firefox shows as Version 6.42.22, last updated Oct 28 2024.

Can you assist please.

Lately when I manually check Firefox for updates. From the menu Help, then About Firefox. It will download the update, ask to restart Firefox. It will restart Firefox, but NOT install the update. It continues to fail to install until I close Firefox myself, wait a good minute, then load Firefox again and it will install the update. I can make this happen to every computer with Firefox installed.
