I use Primary Passwords on important sites. Since v136 installed this morning, no matter what site I OPEN Firefox to, even search sites, the Primary Password is requested. If Firefox is already opened, if I open the "unimportant" site, no password is requested.

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.

All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!
They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg
If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg
The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

Last night, firefox just disabled all my addons and all attempts to reinstall any failed with a red warning that everysingle one I had or new to add failed. I tried a few suggestions I found online like refreshing, clearing cash, restarting, but nothing worked.
I have a vwersion 88 (and some change) running on a windows 7 computer.
Any wisdom is highly appreciated.
If I won't be able to fix this, I'll just move on to a different browser after using it everywhere for so many years and it will be sad
how do I allow pop ups on a specific site

After updating FF to v. 136.0 in Linux Mint 22.04, I noticed a problem with video playback in Facebook in some posts. A black screen appears with the message "Sorry, there were problems playing this video". The problem also occurs after disabling all plugins and deleting the user.js file from the profile. The problem does not occur after starting firefox in troubleshoot mode, but then hardware acceleration using the GPU does not work (Compositing: WebRender (Software)). I noticed that in version 136 there were some significant changes in the topic of video decoding. https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/desktop-linux/1524008-firefox-136-beta-finally-enables-hardware-video-decoding-for-amd-gpus-on-linux-by-default I have an NVIDIA GT1030 GPU with 2 MB VRAM.

We apparently lost power sometime during the night. When I turned on the monitor and opened FF, I got the error message that it had crashed. As my subject line says, I lost all my tabs, the pinned ones (probably about 10) as well as the open ones (probably between 10 and 15). I also lost all my history. I can't use the 'Restore Previous Session' because it doesn't give me that option.
I've restarted Firefox and also rebooted my computer...still nothing happens. It's up to date, version 133.0. But I have no history beyond this morning. Is there any way I can recover those tabs or history?
And in my FF Settings, there's a link at the top that says "Your browser is being managed by your organization". I don't have or belong to an organization. When I click on the link it takes me to another page that says it's "Active" and there's a huge list of "Documentation" that apparently involves a lot of code. Can you please explain what all that means? Thanks so much for any help!

I'm using Firefox v136.0 on a Windows 11 host.
Each time I open Firefox the software prompts me two times (via a dialog) to enter the primary password. (I previously enabled and defined a primary password.) I'm also prompted twice to enter the primary password when I open the Firefox's SETTINGS page. This happens in "regular" and SAFE mode. I do not have any extensions installed nor themes installed/enabled. The only plugins that are installed are "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." and "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc."
When I delete the primary password, the browser does not prompt me to enter the primary password on startup or when opening the SETTINGS page.
FWIW, I've tried the following sequence, but the problem persists:
When I reopen Firefox, it prompts me twice to enter my primary password. When I open Firefox's SETTINGS, I am prompted twice to enter the primary password.
Any suggestions as to how I can convince Firefox to not prompt me twice for the primary password when opening the browser would be appreciated.

Today the icons on New Tab have been resized which makes it difficult to see the differences. As seen in the attached images the logo icons have been reduced in size but the generic letter icons have had their outside edges overlain with the border. Not only has the visible area of the thumbnail been reduced but the title for each of the icons has also been truncated. Another thing to note is there is also more vertical space between the icons.
When I looked into this further I found information about the about:config page. As per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1338808 I found and edited the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabExperience.enabled key to false. This did not change the icon size.
I also noticed the next key browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newNewtabLayouts.variant-b So I changed it from true to false. This seemed to work... Hooray!!!
Unfortunately after I closed and reopened firefox the small icons were back.
Please help, the shortcut icons are only helpful if they are readable and identifiable.

Hello, The typeface/font size on the browser tabs and booksmarks are TINY, like maybe 4pt font in context. I've seen some solutions posted (and archived) as recently as Sept. 2023 but I've tried dozens of times and they still do nothing. The font size adjustment choices in Mozilla / Firefox settings adjust the font on WEBPAGES themselves, NOT the still-maddening teensy tiny font at the top of the webpage, where it frankly really counts. HELP!

My laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad220s) did an automatic Windows 11 update (I believe it was the 2H24 update). After that Firefox (version 133, 64 bit) would only open with the message "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Nothing I tried has worked, not any of the remedies found in support pages. I somehow did a Firefox software update and it shows as a separate icon and has not migrated any of the passwords and bookmarks I had in the software version that keeps crashing (my default browser). Trying to get access to the encrypted passwords to the many sites I've got with Firefox I opened the browser in troubleshooting mode. In this mode I have access to all the passwords saved over time, and the browser seems to work fine.
Any suggestions on what I need to fix or if this is related to the Windows update? I'd like not to have to go through the two-step process to use the browser.
Thanks!

I can't get to my yahoo email account because they say I have an ad blocker. As far as I can tell there is no ad blocker on my computer. I've never added on and on the game I play ads come on all the time. I would love to find anything on where to even find where an ad blocker would be on my computer. I've searched add ons and extensions and apps and everything I can think of and no ad blocker. Please help

Firefox suddenly and inexplicably started asking for my primary password twice when I start the browser. I am not in sync enabled mode. When I cancel the primary password request twice Firefox behaves normally. It does this even after I disable extensions and it does it when I start Firefox in troubleshooting safe mode. My other computer is not doing this.
