By Firefoxwss working great the last time I used it it is the primary search engine for my iPhone 17 as well as my Mac however, when I loaded it today it the screen just said blank. All of my bookmarks are on Firefox. How do I get this fixed quickly? I am, right now being edited. I’m sitting here looking like a fool because I chose to use Firefox rather than Safari or Google. First question they ask me why are you using Firefox. And then, of course, Firefox /x I/ dies all of my bookmarks are on Firefox. Firefox will not open! I have used Firefox for the last nine years. Never had a problem until today when I needed it not to have a problem.

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

In Protonmail (or is it Firefox?), while reading email I discovered that my tabs apparently disappeared, but then I discovered that my tabs and my Protonmail are now in separate browser windows. Is that because of the update, or something else? I really want my browser to keep my Protonmail tab in the same browser window. HELP.

Some iCloud+ customers cannot sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription or report bugs via Mozilla Connect

I'm unable to file this bug report by myself.

I wanted to sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription to support the development of Firefox. The Mozilla website stated that I can only sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription using a mobile device so I downloaded the Mozilla VPN iOS app from the App Store. I opened the app and an in-app Safari window taking me to a Mozilla account sign-in page popped up after a minute. The website stated "Oops, something went wrong. Please check your connection, disable any ad blockers, or try using a different browser". I didn't know what to do so I gave up and deleted the app.

A few weeks later, I re-downloaded the app and pressed the menu button on the top right of the in-app Safari window, then clicked on the three-dot button and "Show IP address" and was able to sign into my Mozilla account successfully after switching to my password manager app, which was Firefox.

However, I opted not to sign up for Mozilla VPN because Brave VPN was offering a similar service but with 10 simultaneous connections instead of just five and various vertically integrated services and subscriptions that Mozilla doesn't offer in Australia. I also wanted to share my subscriptions with my family without sharing my Mozilla account, which I used for Firefox browser sync. Separately, I was also unhappy that Mozilla VPN is a partnership between Mozilla and Mullvad since one of the two co-founders of the latter uses his wealth to fund 75% of a political party that refers to non-white immigrants as "parasites" and is actively advocating for their "comprehensive remigration". While I wanted to support Mozilla's mission, whatever impact Mozilla has pales in comparison to this.

I believe that the iCloud Private Relay IP address that I was using was blocked by the Mozilla accounts sign-in page and it is possible that most non-technical iCloud+ customers who face similar issues would choose not to sign up for a Mozilla VPN subscription via the Mozilla VPN app as a result. I don't know where to file this bug because the "File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products" page doesn't seem to have an option for Mozilla VPN. I was also unable to submit this via Mozilla Connect as I had closed my previous Mozilla Connect account and it is showing me a 401 error whenever I try to sign in with my Mozilla account.

This is happening a lot, and is rendering Firefox unusable as my default browser.

after the last Firefox update the zynga game Farmville 2 will not load. It gives me a screen to fix mentioning chrome..but all efforts to manually fix referencing Firefox have failed. Odd that I can load the plain Zyngagames.com on Edge but it seems they too only load a "local" game that is not connected to any network. Help also mentions to make sure I allow to redirect but that "Options" feature to do so is not there. In fact it seems like the Firefox menu system is even much different and expanded. I will add the screens I have tried etc. Pop ups are allowed, turned off enhanced etc. but cannot find any reference to "third party redirects" Any suggestions are appreciated.

Heyo! So, I've had this ongoing issue with Firefox for quite some time around trying to access the Newgrounds website, but failing to do so. I have tried several things such as disabling the enhanced tracking setting, disabling DNS over HTTPS, forcing cookies and third-party popups to be allowed but that does not work what so ever and disabling enhanced tracking is greyed out so it's not even clickable to toggle off.

One thing that did work was to use the built-in VPN, but I really don't want to constantly have to use a VPN to browse one singular site every time I want to access it. So now for the question. Has anyone else experienced this? And if you have, how did you solve it if at all?

I’m using the latest stable Firefox package from the official Mozilla repository for Ubuntu, on a system with 32GB of RAM.

I’m also using Microsoft Teams for work calls, in the browser (because Linux) and I notice that Ubuntu has killed the FF process twice last week because it was using too much memory - see attached image. I’ve only had 4 or 5 Teams calls last week so this isn’t a great success rate. It seems that after half an hour or so, FF has hogged so much memory that the OS feels the need to kill it.

If this is a known issue: are there any known workarounds?

If this is not a known issue :Can I help by providing troubleshooting data? How?

Thanks in advance!
