Firefox Community Forum

Ever since the 152 update, every time I go to a Google website only, I am prompted to give Firefox location permission in system settings. They're definitely already turned on. It's so incredibly annoying I had to switch to Safari.

macOS Tahoe, Firefox 152.0.3 macOS settings include "Appearance - Auto"; i.e. system switches from light to dark at sunset. While the "top area" (tabs, address bar, bookmarks bar) of Firefox follows this - some of the pages themselves do NOT???

I found this website which was at top of the search results. I tried to follow it, but it seems to be badly outdated in certain key respects: esp wrt a setting called "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" in about:config. I set this to "True", but may have screwed this up!! First question: Should I "reset" this somehow?

Finally: To get at the primary question, there are two "sub-questions" that may explain my confusion more clearly:

1. Is there no ***simple way*** to get Firefox & webpages I view to follow macOS Light/Dark appearance?? What are the CORRECT steps?

2. Do individual webpages have the ability to "decide for themselves" whether or not they will adhere to the system light/dark settings. This may well be an officially "stupid question", but while "most" webpages remain "Light" (including this Support page), a few pages appear dark.

i have a domain that ( i bought ) i connected to my printify sellers page and this message came up Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, chiradio.printify.me will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window. What can you do about it?

Any time I launch Firefox, and it loads with the six tabs I have setup, it doesn't actually load the site until I click the tab. It shows the tabs with the correct favicons, but it doesn't actually download the site until I click the tab. Is there anyway to get it to load the site before I ever click the tab?

Etrade.com shows a blank page after I log in. Every once in a while it will load, but no subsequent links will load after that. I have cleared 100% of my history/cache. I'm using tahoe 26.5. I haven't found another page with this problem.

I have firefox on imac, ipad and iphone. Recently my imac firefox browser became unable to load etrade after the login page. It just shows a white/blank page. I have to use my mobile devices to see this site. I have tried opening in troubleshooting mode - no change. I don't have any extensions or add-ons. The problem has persisted for 2 or 3 weeks so far. Tahoe 26.5

I am using a Macbook air.

Following the last couple of updates I am now unable to see my Facebook feed, it will load the page except its only sort of highlighted. When attempting to load anything including messages it just hangs.

I have the same issue trying to access my Superannuation account, it simply hangs and eventually tells me to contact my fund due to a technical issue.

If I use Chrome or Safari or my iphone I can get in no problem to both of these.

I have tried disabling the VPN before we had it and after-no good!

Help,

Since the latest Firefox update, I cannot load my primary banking account, and one of my work websites won't load. I can access both of these sites on other browsers.

I have added the "Firefox Multi-Account Containers." I see the container icon, indicating it is "contained."

I have clicked manage containers and created separate containers like news for instance. I switch between personal, news, shopping and used each supposedly separate container.

But, I see the same history in each, which is not what I expected. Do I need a different Firefox account for each container?

Upon restarting my laptop earlier today, I realized that ALL my Firefox bookmarks have disappeared into thin air. Gone (or, rather, "empty") is my bookmarks toolbar, and my bookmark menu, and everything else. What to do? Thank you.

I am running the latest public stable release of Firefox, 151.0.1 (aarch64), and these last few weeks I've been getting prompted to grant my location over and over every time I do a Google search. In MacOS, I've granted Firefox location permission and I've repeatedly saved me giving google permission but it doesn't stop. This is happening on my MacBook Pro and Mac Studio.

Anyone else? Any tips? It's maddening. lol

Since updating to 152.0.3 I am no longer receiving bills from my water company; electric company and natural gas company as well as the payment confirmation emails from these companies. I've checked my spam filters (I use earthlink.net) and blocked sender addresses and they are not on these lists, in fact they are in my contact/address book. I've called the utilities and they have confirmed that the email bill was sent to my email address

I am receiving all other emails that I know of. It seems to be website generated em.ails?

I am using Mac OS 12.7.6

Hello, I have my Apple settings set to dark mode at night time. I noticed even with Firefox having system selected for website appearance, it still does light mode at night. I attached a screenshot showing the discrepancy. Can you please get this fixed!

I am unable to activate the built-in VPN. I am in a loop of getting started -> Activate Firefox’s built-in VPN for extra privacy and protection' then I click 'Continue' and then I get again back to 'get started'. The built-in VPN never activates. I am signed in while doing that and I am using a macbook to run firefox.

macOS Tahoe; 26.4.1 Firefox 150.0.1

I keep most of my bookmarks under the "Bookmarks Toolbar"; I have quite a few of them.

I've always enjoyed the ease and utility of the "Add Folder..." menu item in "Manage Bookmarks", but now it fails on each and every attempt to add a new folder! For example, if I select a folder under "Bookmarks Toolbar", right click that folder, and select the "Add new folder..." item from the drop-down menu Firefox simply "freezes up" - becomes totally non-responsive (spinning beach ball!).

The only way I've been able to recover is using the macOS "Activity Monitor" to "Force Quit" Firefox! If I repeat the "Add Folder..." process described above - Firefox "freezes up" again. I've tried re-booting, and that doesn't cure the problem.

Without trying to confuse the primary issue, I have noticed other "bad behavior" from Firefox:

1. 1. Firefox "disappears" from the menu bar regularly. I can get it back by moving to another desktop, and returning to the desktop with my Firefox windows. However, it will disappear again in short order.

1. 2. Firefox is very slow loading some of the web pages I visit regularly.

When did this start? It started very recently. I have a new (about two weeks old) MacBook Pro. The "Add Bookmark.." issue began only today, but the other issues I mentioned have been around longer.

This is frustrating... I suspect this is caused by Apple's macOS software, but of course have no way to prove that! And in the "FWIW Column": my Chrome browser has basically the same function and interface for adding folders, and it still functions flawlessly.
