i have m2 mac book air with 15.1 Beta (24B5035e) OS when i try to download firefox for my laptop it always defaults to 64-bit version not arm64 version due to this i am facing multiple performance issues. I searched online but it seems that no one has my problem. I like to use firefox but i am not able to.

New browser opens everytime i click on a link.

I have a problem that has started in Firefox whereby a new browser opens up everytime I click on a link. I can end up with 10 Girefox browsers ope at ny one time. How can I stop this please?

Thank you

I have Windows 11 on my computer, it is up to date, and I have downloaded Firefox several times and yet it keeps telling me it has a problem, shuts down and restarts . I have lost many downloads and emails because of it. I just made an e mail and just before I finished it to send, it told me there was a problem, it needed to restart and the email was lost. The same is with Windows 11. I have downloaded it many times, saved pages , news etc. and when I open the document or item, it tells me that I need to update my browser It is not my computer. I have even at times done Recovery and eventually have the same problem app

Ever since Firefox upgraded to 128.3.0esr (Linux, 64-bit) a few days ago, ALL links are being underlined (this never used to be the case).

"Always underline links" is unchecked (settings -> general -> browsing)

"layout.css.always_underline_links" is set to "false" (about:config)

It seems that 128.3.0esr is ignoring the above settings.

a friend or roommate of mine is having issues successfully importing a backup of his passwords and bookmarks. he has a backup downloaded on another part of the hard drive. I've also read that firefox stores it's own back up during an update. any possible way that might work better?

Since updating Firefox today and setting my profile as the default (since the update required me to make a backup) I haven't been able to click tabs. I can make new tabs and open link in new tabs, but i cannot click from the main tab that opens when firefox opens to any other tabs, ctrl + 2 also doesn't work. I can't even open settings because it automatically opens it in a new tab.

It looks like they are loading correctly, since i can see the mini popup if I hover over the tab.

Whenever i change Firefox window sizes(moving to second monitor) or full screen on other videos, random YouTube videos in the background will start unpausing and randomly playing.

My firefox installation failed to play any videos. It would load the video forever (longest time was 15 minutes) and never actually play; this persisted on all media sites I tried and was exclusive to firefox (other browsers worked fine). I reinstalled firefox entirely as a last resort. I now cannot sign in with my account to sync any of my browser data.

I use firefox on three places: macOS laptop, windows PC, and mobile phone (ios). When I try to sign in on the windows PC (the new installation), it lets me sign in and then says the sync failed and I need to sign in to sync data. It forces me to verify my sign in every single time. even if I just signed in and hit the sync option, it makes me sign in and verify my account again. It has been an hour of troubleshooting and I'm so goddamn frustrated with this. Never had any issues like this in the eight years I've used FF, but this mess makes me want to switch browsers entirely. IDK what to do.

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

I find that I can not run or even access the macro function in google sheets. These functions work fine in all other browsers. The menu items are grayed out and just like the macro buttons, they do nothing when clicked. I find many other talking about this with no resolution. I do find it odd there there is nothing listed about this omission in the Firefox help forums.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why my ComfyUI (local AI image generator) stopped working with Firefox. There were no error messages from ComfyUI, it just failed to load workflow files.

It turns out that it's because Firefox is installed as a snap package and wherever the snap configuration for Firefox lives thinks it knows better than I do what files and directories on my system I can access in Firefox.

I also had this problem with trying to open PDFs in my home directory where I kept getting access denied errors. I tried to solve the problems with the snap version and found several proposed solutions by google search which people claimed worked but did not.

I finally found a web page that described how to uninstall the snap package and install an alternate non-snap version of Firefox, and now everything works like I expect it to.

How do I make sure this snap version does not ever come back?

I have been using a usrChrome.css in my profile to create multi-row tabs. (Why cant Mozilla see the need for this with 4K monitors?) The Oct update broke this and I cannot get FF to load the css file that has worked for more than a ywar.

Help please?

Hello, i lost all my saved data in my account, When i logged in it seem like a new account, and i always used this account to store my passwords and websites.

Please help it's urgent

When I go to listen to my KQED passport films, I used to be able to hear the dialogue at less than 50%. Now I need to turn it up to 100% to even vaguely hear anything. I was wondering if there is any way I can make it louder. This happened only recently. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have followed various instructions I found (such as stopping all add-ons etc, starting firefox in safe mode etc etc), but still no joy.

When I click on a link in an email (outlook although not relevant I dont think), Firefox opens a new instance, starts in first tab with my default home page and then .... nothing. If I copy the selected hyperlink and put it in the search bar it works fine. More importantly, if I change *all* my defaults to say Chrome and try, it works fine.

Any suggestions on what I am missing from the various solutions? (Been happening for ages - maybe a year or more I think).

I have noticed that many a times (even with the latest update installed) randomly etrade website does not load. Not sure why? I have deleted the history etc and still...

On the bottom left I see "Read c.evidon.com" the hourglass in the tab.
