Dear Firefox,

Yesterday 1-2-23 I lost my tabs. When I tried to restore them I followed the suggestions listed in "help". I clicked on the "menu" on the top right of my browser, found the "history" and selected it. The "restore" option did not appear. On my macbook pro 2012 os 10.13.6 I had 3 "desktop" selections. I had a browser window on each of the desktops that held multiple tabs. The third "desktop" was the "dashboard" which mostly had widgets. Somehow the browser window from one of the Desktops was applied to the dashboard and when I tried to remove it the result was that it closed and was removed from all desktops.

How can I find the sessions or tabs that were present on Jan 1 or before? I'm not that tech savy and would love to be able to speak with a real person that would be able to walk me through a solution if there is a solution.

The latest Firefox version 106.0.5 (64-bit) is not working with Fed Ex Ground tracking (https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/system-error?trknbr=004262400138295,004262400138301) on Macbook Pro, OSX 10.13.6. Previous FF version was working. Chrome & Safari browsers are working.

" Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later. "

This for the last couple of days.

Mac OSX 10.13, FireFox 115.1.0esr (64-bit): previously cmd-click on link would open in new background tab. Now it opens the link in BOTH current tab and a new background tab. This has started occurring in the last few days (mid Aug 2023). This is especially a problem when viewing CraigsList where it was very helpful to be able to cmd-click on links of no interest to mark them as "read" while remaining on the main list page. Now it is necessary to back up to previous page (main list) after clicking on each link... Is this perhaps a recent change (I had auto-update turned on)?

Unable to login to Medicare account - Medicare Plan Finder

Keep getting: "We can't process your request at this time."

https://www.medicare.gov/plan-compare/#/?year=2023&lang=en

Have been getting this error message for many days now, even in troubleshooting mode with all extensions disabled.

Bug?

However can login to my Medicare account directly with Brave browser without any issue. Seems to suggest some fundamental problem/incompatibility with Firefox (102.4esr)

Note, have tried everything that would appear to apply from this reply to same question : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1393619

+ would think that starting in troubleshooting mode with all extensions disabled suggests some fundamental incompatibility/bug.

I often visit the website rsn.org. This is a media site that allows people to post comments. In the past, I never had a problem using Firefox and the pages always loaded with the comment section at the bottom.

Starting this past week, the comment section is no longer visible. I did not change any settings in Firefox nor did I upgrade my OS or anything else. I queried the site owner to see if there were problems or changes that could have instigated this but there were not. I copied the url into Safari and was able to see the page as it should appear.

WHAT HAS FIREFOX DONE AND WHY??? I have read all the articles but nothing seems to address this problem which is clearly of Firefox' making. Why is Firefox blocking this access and how do I get them to stop?

During an initial visit to slashdot.org Firefox hangs for approx 45 seconds while the status bar says "looked up a.fsdn.com." Subsequent visits during the same browser session load promptly.

This is with Preferences -> General -> Network Settings -> Enable DNS over HTTPS -> Cloudfare or NextDNS. With Firefox DoH disabled the problem is not present. [Interesting side, the machine's systemwide DNS settings are configured for Cloudfare 1.1.1.1 ]

AFAIK all other sites load normally. I've been using the Firefox DOH for several months with only the above site as a problem.

Ideas?

Environment: Firefox desktop 106.x and 107.x macOS 10.13.6 The problem is present in "Troubleshoot Mode" when Firefox DOH is enabled.

I collected screen shots for doc. I get the message that there is a problem sending the report to Firefox. Website is: https://signin.guardianlife.com/signin https://customeraccess.guardianlife.com/overview

I tried starting with all extensions disabled - same results.

Is the development crew monitoring this? Something changed with this release that's causing this. I wouldn't mind if it didn't work, but crashing the browser is a no-no.

Hi, I have an old mid 2011 iMac running on OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I have updated to the latest version, I restarted my computer, and Firefox crashes suddenly at least a couple of times a week, if not more. Is this a problem that can be fixed or is this just going to be the status quo now?

Thanks for any help or suggestions that may help. Mz. C

Firefox did some update and bookmarks disappeared. So I tried to restore the backup and it is also empty. In fact all the backups seem to not populate any bookmarks. I have another laptop and airdropped the backup file to that laptop to see if I could get the bookmarks back on firefox on there. It worth pointing out that firefox was not updated on my other laptop. When I tried to restore on the other laptop is erased the few bookmarks I had there but didnt give me the missing ones. So now I have 2 computers with no bookmarks.

Please help! Tried to restart , shut down, multiple times and nothing is working.
