I had a problem where FF 140.0 would not update, and in trying to get FF yo update, I used a re-install tool to which I was pointed in my problem report. This caused FF to wipe out my configuration, and I lost all my windows and tabs. I have gone to

    \Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Proifiles\abnfpged.default

cleared all of the data therein, and restored that directory from a backup I made last Monday. But I cannot get FF to use that directory. "about:profiles" shows only two profiles, but the Profiles directory has five profiles:

03/10/2026 09:39 AM <DIR> qf00ka5x.default 03/10/2026 09:39 AM <DIR> v842ceue.default-release 04/11/2026 09:16 PM <DIR> .. 04/11/2026 09:16 PM <DIR> . 04/12/2026 03:08 PM <DIR> abnfpged.default 04/12/2026 06:29 PM <DIR> jdfj91sd.default-release-1775960183850 04/12/2026 06:48 PM <DIR> f1jq4mlq.default

Only the profiles beginning with "j" and "f1" are seen in the "about:profiles" screenshot I have attached. And I have attached a screenshot of my profiles.ini file. Also, in the abnfpged.default directory I restored, where is the list of all of my open windows and tabs? FF used to keep that in a sessionstore.jsonlz4 file, but that file is only written when FF closes. I tried to save a copy when I was having problems, but I stored the copy in the same directory, which FF changed during the re-install process. Here is my profiles,.ini file:

[Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/jdfj91sd.default-release-1775960183850 Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/f1jq4mlq.default

I have not worked with the ;profiles.ini file in many years, as my FF configuration has not had problems. Thanks.

I can't open netflix or https://predatorhunteroutdoors.com . Why am I getting this message?

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

bold textWhen I opened my computer this morning without warning the Firefox had a new default page and all my information was gone. I've tried deleting and redownloading and trying to follow the instructions on how to transfer the information, I could not get anything to work. I know I'm doing something wrong but have no ideas what I am suppose to do. Very disappointed I had some importat information on the desktop and would like to get it back.

A very anoying popup appear asking if If I want to start Firefox when Windows start.

How can I click: Never ask again. Why in the world would anyone ever want this enabled.

I've just discovered that a lot of files I've downloaded in the last few months have the original file date instead of the download date. This has created total chaos and confusion with my organization as I have no idea when I did anything!

I presume Firefox has changed something. But why? When? What files does it affect? How do I change it back?

And why weren't we told about this huge change? After over 30 years downloading files from the web, it's become second nature that downloads always take the download date. A monumental change like this needs to be clearly signposted or it's going to create chaos with people's file systems and organization.

Update: On reflection, I think this is a Windows 10 bug, rather than a Firefox issue, so perhaps this thread should be deleted? I looked at the properties of the files in question and discovered that all three dates DO match the download date. The problem seems to be that WINDOWS ITSELF is displaying EXIF data dates instead of modified date. I only recently started using Windows 10 and this would seem to be a Windows 10 bug.

Hello, My brother clicked on "I am not a robot" popup after he clicked on an image to enlarge it on a website and then click on "allow" permission to send notification. So now there are always 3 notifications (like warning, viruses found, system alert, etc.) on the screen that will pop back on right after I close one. This is pretty annoying. I went to the firefox settings, in "privacy & security", scrolled down to "permissions" and "notifications" section, changed the status of that website from "allow" to "block", and then (and it may be my fault here, but how could I know ?) clicked on "remove website" just below. Well, now the website is not there anymore, but I am still getting annoying warnings notification that can't be close. We can see the adress (don't know if I can write it up here, but you can see in the photos attached) on the notifications, so I opened up a new tab and wrote it down manually to be able to click on "block" directly, but I am just getting a white page (no window to click "I am not a robot" and no window to ask to allow notifications). I clicked on the little shield icon that is at the left to the address bar and then clicked on "clear cookies and site data", but it did not change anything. I am at loss here. I went back to the website with the image on it that my brother clicked to enlarge, and I clicked this image too. The same thing happened (robot, allowing notification popups), but the address is different (you know when it's a long non sense address... always almost the same but with some different letters/numbers) . So I can block this one, but not the one that is still allowed somehow to send me notifications. I closed firefox then restarted it, no change. Any ideas ? (Sorry the photos are not straight, don't know why because I can see them just fine upon opening)

After the update to 150 it opened with a screen advertising the new free VPN, says to click here to turn on, when I click that it takes me to a help page, says to Look for the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of your Firefox toolbar, I do not get that?

How to turn on? Thanks

Firefox browsers are not working on the Office 365 web portal. None of the links in the site work. The apps link for Office apps is missing. We have tried it from multiple computers and used both Firefox and Waterfox. The Office portal loads but is stuck on Web more and clicking on the Work tab at the top does nothing. Clicking on anything else on the page also does nothing. The same portal page works normally in Edge and Chrome.

Since updating to the new Firefox 150.0 (aarch64) - two of our client's websites are having issues with too big/distorted logos (png files).

Sites are A-OK in Sarfari and Chrome.

Remade the images and re-uploaded (thinking the files were corrupt). Did not fix the situation. Cleared every cache available (object, builder, browser, hosting).

Could there be an issues with the browser?
