Hi, in Firefox (macOS Monterey), latest update, my login for Micrtosoft (https://login.microsoftonline.com) is blocked. When I open this page in Safari everything is fine, so this is not a problem of the computer or some firewall! Where is the setting, where I can define this webpage as "secure" and "loadable"? I can't find it in the settings! TIA! - Michael

Recently, Firefox has started to treat my downloads folder as if it were music instead of general items. The folder, in Windows is set as general items, so I don't know why Firefox treats it as music. How do I fix this?

I just want to express my frustration.

Today during removal of Firefox (due to bug in Windows "winget" upgrader I got two versions of FF - 122.0 and 122.0.1 so wanted to remove one) I accidentally clicked "Refresh Firefox instead" without knowing what's going to happen in a few seconds.

Soon I was presented with a nice and clean Firefox window with no open tabs, no history and no addons.

I quickly went to my profile folder (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) only to discover that no full backup was made prior to "refreshing". There were some files preserved - places.sqlite, cookies.sqlite, but no addons, and no sessionstore.jsonlz4. From what I can see, some of the carefully tweaked settings in about:config are also lost.

Fortunately I made my own backup on 10th of October 2023, so I recovered most addons and some of the open tabs. I'm now in the process of restoring other tabs from history. But I like to have them open for weeks or even months, so it's going to take me a lot of time.

The Refresh Firefox thing should be removed because it only destroys data. OR MAKE THE DAMN FULL BACKUP OF THE ENTIRE ***UNTOUCHED*** USER PROFILE ***BEFORE*** REFRESHING IT!!!!!!!!!

You never cease to disappoint, Firefox. Now I'll waste a lot of time to restore what I had before clicking that damn button. And I need to set up a regular profile backup because I cannot trust the software I tried to trust the most... No wonder you're losing users. That is totally unacceptable.

Any clues on how to restore my profile to the state before the "refresh" disaster?

I've been having this problem for some time, and it's honestly annoying me so much that I'm ready to pitch Firefox and badmouth it all over the Internet. Every single time I attempt to access the File Save or Open dialogues boxes from Firefox, as is necessary when uploading or downloading and image file, Windows Explorer (Windows 11) crashes.

There is no evidence of this in the system logs, but it's obvious that Explorer is crashing and relaunching, as evidenced by the disappearance and reappearance of the Taskbar, during which Firefox becomes completely unresponsive. This is dramatically slowing down my workflow to the point where it makes Firefox frankly unusable for most daily tasks.

The problem still exists when I remove all extensions from Firefox. The problem still exists when I restart the machine. The problem does *not* exist when I start Firefox in Safe Mode, but this is obviously not a workable solution. The problem does *not* occur with any other software, only Firefox. I am running Firefox 122.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Professional 22H2 Build 22621.3007, but the problem has been occurring for a long time, months. The system is a Gigabyte Z690 UD AX with an Intel Core i5-12600K, 32 GB DDR5 PC4800 RAM, and a Samsung 980 Pro 500 GB NVMe SSD.

For several weeks now, whenever I close Firefox and shut down my iMac and open Gmail the next day, Gmail seems to forget which emails I have already read, and it marks many old emails as unread. Deleting the Google cache and cookies helps, but only temporarily. This problem doesn't seem to occur when using a different browser, such as Safari, or when using the built-in MacOS email client. Therefore, I'm thinking it's a buggy interaction between Firefox and Gmail. I didn't used to have this problem, so perhaps it's related to a Firefox update? Anyhow, I'm hoping someone can help. Thanks!

I recently switched over to Firefox and for some reason there's just no way to adjust the volume on Twitter. It's either muted or full blast and I'd like to know how to bring back the little slider. I've tried what people posted on Reddit and neither the extension or the Tampermonkey script did anything. I don't know what else I can do.
