duplicate of /questions/1464243 thread.

I have latest version of Firefox for Windows 10 and about 2 weeks ago the Last Pass extension from your website stopped loading correctly. The extension installs in the toolbar, but does not work. It partially loads and then freezes up. I was able to resolve by removing extension and then going to Last Pass's website and downloading their Last Pass 4.0. Your extension is messed up. Tom Weaver

Hi, I used Firefox browser at work since it had the best add-in for tab groups (Simple Tab Groups). Unfortunately browser is not supported any more. Is there a portable version that can be run without installing, from Mozilla.

I read a post that indicated it was available from PortableApps, but am not conversant enough to know that it's 100% safe. Believe that it was able to be updated as well.

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.

Latest update, 4. oct. Using Firefox Developer Edition. Closed the browser window for the day, and then on opening again it had updated, my entire toolbar, and also icons where the tabs are, are just gone - including the "+" icon for creating a new tab, along with the bookmarks bar having vanished. Picture added below.

It seems like the bookmarks bar is still there, you just can visibly see any bookmarks. Tried adding a new bookmark, but nothing appeared.

How can I fix this?

After an update of both macOS (to macOS Sequoia 15.0.1) and Firefox Developer Edition (to 132.0b3 (aarch64)), the Bookmarks Toolbar stopped working. The same issue appeared on my Windows PC.

Bookmarks toolbar is visible, I can show and hide it but it does not display any of my saved bookmarks. Luckily, they were not deleted and I still can access them via Bookmarks Menu, which is less than optimal.

The Drag&Drop functionality does not work either. When I grab the opened Tab, drag it on the Toolbar and release it, the Tab gets opened in the new browser window and it's not saved.

Please provide an option not to nag users for updating Firefox

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b3 (64 bit) which I downloaded just a few days ago. Already, there's an update for it, to version 132.0b4. Each time I open Firefox, there's this popup that tells me that there's an update available and that I need to download it. I'm using Linux Mint 21. I've already visited about:config and changed app.update.silent to true, changed app.update.manual to true, and changed app.update.url.details and app.update.url.manual to fake hyperlinks. Despite doing this and despite restarting, I'm still prompted about the update available every single time I open Firefox. Could someone kindly tell the specific developer who implemented this annoying feature, to please provide an option for Users to not be bothered with such popup notifications?

ps: Why does this website have a white background and not allow extensions to change it to a dark background? I have Dark Reader extension installed, but it says that it cannot make changes to this website. Even uBlockOrigin is unable to. Please either allow extensions to change the background, or at least change the background color of this website to dark. It gets strenuous on the eyes to keep staring at a bright white backgrond.

Running Firefox on macOS Sequoia 15.0. Afternoon of Tuesday, 8 October, Firefox abruptly ceased loading any pages. I eventually learned of the malware incident and downloaded Firefox 131.0.2 last night and overwrote the existing file. It worked for a brief moment, then also ceased functioning. Have downloaded 131.0.2 several times now, with no further success. Currently dead in the water with Firefox, and stuck with Safari. :(

Hello, I have an issue with installing other extensions. Every time I have been trying lately it keeps prompting me to check my internet connection. I have checked it, it is fine, going strong, supporting constant gaming with no lags or spikes, I have no VPN active when trying to install. Are extensions no longer supported by newest mozilla version or something? It is the only browser with this issue and I will switch the main browser if I cannot get extensions to make life easier.

Currently on 131.0.3. Started having this issue around the time 131 dropped.

I press Ctrl-shift-O and bookmarks manager won't open. Bookmarks manager opens normally if I use the menu to open it. Keybind won't work in troubleshooting mode so I know it's not an addon, and the hotkey works fine on other computers with Sync enabled so I know it doesn't have to do with my synchronized settings. Also won't open with a fresh profile so I am very hesitant to reset all my settings.

I use this keybind multiple times per browsing session so it has had a major impact on my usage. Not sure what to do. Please help!

I'm going to try a graphics driver update in the hope that helps. This is on Windows btw.

I am trying to verify specifically which versions of Firefox are vulnerable to CVE-2024-8387.

I know that typically mozilla does not put a low bound on advisories, and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-40/ is the advisory for vulnerabilities fixed in ESR 128.2. CVE-2024-8387 is listed here. yet the advisory for 115, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-41/ does not list this vulnerability. Was this something that was only impacting 128 (for the ESR builds) or is there a mistake that either 115.15 did patch it but it wasn't documented, or the patch has been missed and ESR 115 is still vulnerable?
