Hi. I'm on Tahoe since 24 hours. I have Lulu installed. Lulu blocked an outgoing connection called ping sender that wants to connect to 34.120.208.123 and is related to Mozilla as Lulu says. But when I run a whois on this ip I get

NetRange: 34.64.0.0 - 34.127.255.255 CIDR: 34.64.0.0/10 NetName: GOOGL-2 NetHandle: NET-34-64-0-0-1 Parent: NET34 (NET-34-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Allocation OriginAS: Organization: Google LLC (GOOGL-2) RegDate: 2018-09-28 Updated: 2018-09-28 Ref: https://rdap.arin.net/registry/ip/34.64.0.0

In Lulu I have ▪ /Applications/Firefox Developer Edition.app/Contents/MacOS/pingsender

WTF?????????

The launch of Firefox Profiles seems to have obliterated everything in my account: bookmarks, history, open tabs, and extensions are all gone completely. I have an option to import files from another browser, but not from my own past firefox. I logged into my Mozilla account, but I didn't have any other devices so I think it was still unable to recover the data? Is there anything I can do about this, or is all of my data truly gone?

I've had Firefox as my main browser on my Macbooks for over 20 years. It is becoming increasingly frustrating working on something and realizing the computer is slowing down when loading websites, only to realize there is yet another update that requires the restarting of the browser. This is especially annoying when on a Zoom meeting for instance, and trying to open a website.

I usually have 80+ tabs open across 4-5 windows. When restarting the browser, I now have to open each tab to log into whatever site I was in.

Why does Firefox have to do SOOOOOOO many frequent updates that require restarting the browser, and why does it have to slow down your computer when there is an update?

It's like you have no choice but to update it. Would it be possible to NOT slow down your computer, but give some kind of notification, say by email, when there is an important update?

SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

I cannot get Bookmarks to sort. If I got to Manage My Bookmarks I can sort by name but when I select Bookmarks from the top menu and scroll to a folder my sort is gone. How do I fix this? This is true of all folders I have.

Hi folks -

I've just seen the update that firefox now allows "profiles" for different purposes (e.g. work, fun, etc.) which seems really handy. But I'm trying to wrap my head around how to approach restructuring my current setup. In particular, do these profiles *all* sync with my mozilla account? Or do I need a separate mozilla account for each profile? (if so, that sort of defeats some of the utlity here unless you're sharing the PC).

I can't tell from the support article, doesn't seem to address this, but you do need to login again if you set up a new profile.

Thanks, Patrick

Hi,

when I try to access the Gallery photos page on OneDrive, especially in the 'For you' section, I get a gray screen and nothing happens. When I check the console, it shows the issues I've captured in the screenshot. I tried this on Mac and Ubuntu with a fresh profile and a clear internet connection. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Firefox Version is the latest 142.0.1 No problem with Vivaldi, Chrome etc.

Thanks, Dirk

Upgraded my Mac to Apple OS TAHOE 26.0.1 and upgraded to Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch 64). Upon opening Firefox, the application hogs my computer's 8 GB memory, taking 6.3-7.9 gigs (!!!) with only one tab opened! When I try to browse and use it, it often freezes and for the first time in using MACs for 40 years I got a warning for excessive memory usage and prompt to force quit other apps. Firefox in this version is practically unusable (unless I get 16 gigs of memory!) I think guys that this version uses an excessive amount of resources, needs serious "diet" and compacting. Please fix our favorite browser in a trimmer new version. Or after 30 years nearly I (and many others with * gig machines) will have to switch default browser, not my favorite solution for sure

I had to wipe clean my iMac today due to some access issue. Everything was gone !!! I had to re-install Firefox as the default browser. Now I want MarketWatch to open on Firefox every time I open the Firefox browser. Please send step-by-step instruction to this 82 yrs old lady user.

Also, I had Mozilla VPN. Please show me how to re-install/download/put back this service so that I can park it on the tool bar and choose to use it at will.

Please keep your instruction very human friendly. I don't comprehend well the "digital lingo".

Thank you for your understanding.

Since I updated to 144.0.2 (aarch64) I cannot sign out clicking on my profile and also have trouble signing into my outlook account. Worked fine before update. Is there a fix? I'm running on MacOS

I am running the latest version of Firefox, using Last Pass extension, and signing into Bank of America US website. I've done this for years. I use a FIDO device to authenticate transactions but now I am no longer able to do that. Each time the system asks me to use my device, I get an error message saying if failed (even before pressing the device) and my only way to get out is to force quit Firefox. I am able to execute the transactions successfully using Safari as my browser with Lasspass and the Fido device.

I have called the bank and they cannot see any issues on their side.

I'm working on a Macbook running Sonoma 14.7, I have firefox on autoupdate. I do not have any passphrases saved for Bank of America.

Hello, I would like my Firefox opening to be full screen automatically. Now it opens on half screen and I have to manually expand it to full page. Can you help me? Thanks

Firefox just updated and ALL of my bookmarks are gone. There is NOTHING. WTF? I am not a computer person so reading help articles just makes my head spin and of course I can't reach a real live person at Mozillabold text. Can anyone help?
