That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.

It's not showing recent activity - only blank grey boxes. And its not showing my things saved in pocket at all even though I've selected in settings to show it.

Im using version - 135.0 (aarch64) - it says its up to date.

Hello, is it possible to disable or alter the hotkey for viewing source? It is overriding my config for gtk-3.0, settings.ini, where gtk-key-theme-name=emacs. While I do have the emacs keybindings go to start of line, go to end of line, and delete to end of line but not this (personally) most used hotkey. I looked in about:config for source, but those appear to only modify the tab/window/editor which the source is viewed in, but not the shortcut to reach it. It does work for most of my applications, except fltk-based ones and ones where the application sets its own macro overriding the gtk config.

using 64 bit Linux here.

I download an update, but it doesn't do anything. It constantly tells me I need to download an update. Currently using 133.0.3

I managed to get an update through Linux, but now I'm having trouble with Linux. I suspect I need to remove Firefox and reload it. I tried to do that one time but it didn't fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I said most of it in the title. Somehow, my Firefox DisableAppUpdate policy got set to 'true' & when I try to change it Firefox says sorry "this is managed by your organization". But I'm not currently signed in to an enterprise network. This is on private wi-fi. Can you all fix this? I need to be able to manage policies like this *for my personal browser*, less is not okay. Thank you for your help.

Subject: Assistance Required for Frequent Firefox Crashes on Ubuntu

Dear Developer Team,

I am facing persistent issues with Firefox crashing on my Ubuntu PC, and the problem has been ongoing for the past 40–50 days. Despite multiple attempts at troubleshooting—including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, clearing all caches, and other measures—the issue remains unresolved.

I’ve noticed that Firefox works for a few days after reinstallation, but then problems begin to surface, such as a half-screen display. Eventually, after restarting the PC, the browser starts crashing again.

Could you please investigate this matter urgently and provide a resolution? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could clarify whether this might be related to a RAM issue or some other underlying cause.

Looking forward to your assistance.

Best regards, zimmi

How does Firefox determine where the Kerberos keytab is located?

The default location for Kerberos keytabs on a Linux box is within /tmp. /tmp is very temporary these days and is wiped on reboot and it looks like on the various power save/restore.

So, I decided to move the keytabs to a static location to allow them to work according to the usual schedules and timeouts, instead of being wiped out on a whim. I settled on /var/lib/krb5tabs/krb5cc_%u I configured that within /etc/krb5.conf

I use pam_winbind from Samba to do the Kerberos login and the keytab is filled in and the environment var KRB5CCNAME is set correctly.

Before the change of the location of the keytab from the defaults, everything works fine apart from after a resume and creds need re entering (which is the pain I am trying to avoid).

After the change, Evolution is still able to authenticate via Kerberos but Firefox is not. So, does FF just assume defaults or actually follow KRB5CCNAME - which seems to be the standard for Kerberos?

I am getting notices that I need to update my FireFox. I went to update and saw this message "updates disabled by your system administrator". What do I need to do to be able to do the update. Email:[edited from community support forum]
