Firefox Community Forum

I just installed the new Firefox version (131.0.2) and the installation gave me a new desktop lnk (the old one is still on the desktop). The new link (to an .exe file in "C:...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\browser") starts the new version of Firefox in its newborn virgin state, i.e., EVERYTHING from my previous version is missing.

The old link (which points to an identical .exe file in a completely different directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser" with same date stamp as the .exe file mentioned above) when executed results in an error message: Platform version '131.0' is not compatible with

                                                                                              minVersion >= 131.0.2
                                                                                              maxVersion <= 131.0.2

NOTE: The files in each of these two directories appears to be identical. I really want my old profile back.

HELP!

I'm on Windows 11 and when I type in Discord with Firefox the text suggestions stop working after two words. It works perfectly everywhere else including the Discord app as well as Discord in any other browser.

First of all, there's this new thing called AI. Maybe you've heard about it when you meet a competitor at a party, etc. If you ever choose to use it (a pretty big "if"), you might install it in your forums. Nah, that ain't likely. But here's the question: How can I get FF to quit closing pages (photos, music, Word docs) when I want to save them? One of the problems is your FAQs are programmed to read CRASH, when they "see" CLOSING PAGES. I know, FAQs are there to make Mozilla more $$$$. They have nothing to do with customer service.

I use Internet Bill Pay through my bank, and it has always worked correctly with Firefox. I have enhanced tracking protection turned off for the site secureinternetbank.com and I have cookies authorized in my exceptions list. Today I got this message:

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms:

   Block third party cookies
   Cookie tracking
   Cross-site tracking

Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

Bank says it hasn't changed anything, and no tweaks I tried on privacy settings fixed it. I believe it's an issue with the new version. Can you tell me how to fix it or let me know when Firefox will fix it? The site works fine in Microsoft Edge, but I'd like to avoid using Edge.

Thanks.

I recently updated FF to 128.3.0 ESR and have found that FF no longer appends the suffix to the url I tupe in the url bar. For instance, to go to yahoo.com all I had to do was type yahoo in the url bar and hit enter and FF would automatically add the .com and navigate to the site. This function has ceased to work since the latest update. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) no longer supports Firefox. Please contact them and try to get them to support it. Otherwise I will have to use a Chrome, which I don't want to.

Kaspersky has been changed to UltraAV so I need to add or change this extension in my settings. Also will Kaspersky need to be deleted? thx . THe reason for this is because Firefox will not restart after an updated has been downloaded.

Upon launching Firefox I noticed a notification from Macafee antivirus, I don't really care how to spell their "company" name. But when clicking on the popup it brought me to a firefox addon for macafee. I assume that this is a virus created by the aforementioned company and not a partnership between the two of you. Just wanted to create awareness of this virus as its targeting your browser.

Every time now I get asked additional info just to use FB, as in scoping what's happening. It seems that the info FB has for me to cont6act me is no longer correct, e.g. I want to check the mobile phone number that is on my record. Where can I check that (what is the link) ?

Last February, I installed an update that wasn't compatible with my macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra. As a result, my bookmarks disappeared. For a long time, I've been getting popups on a daily basis, and sometimes twice daily, telling me to update again. Based on my last experience, I not about to install any more updates. I want these messages to stop.

I repeatedly cannot access a couple of websites, receiving messages such as, "Server Not Found" and "We can’t connect to the server at companyname.org." Since this happens regularly with a couple of popular websites (e.g., Consumer Reports), I don't believe the problem is with the sites themselves. So, is there a setting on Firefox that will enable me to unblock access to specific sites?

Thanks!
