Hello, We use the following code (in a Dockerfile) to download the latest Firefox for testing.

curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US" && tar -C /tmp -xjf /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 firefox

Starting with 135.0 the tar command fails with:

bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 

134.0.2 works: curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-134.0.2....

A couple questions: - What has changed? Is there some other way we need to download and uncompress? - Is there any documentation of the supported query params for https://download.mozilla.org

Thanks, Paul

Hi! I would like to turn off the Reviewer Checker drawer that appears when I visit Amazon because it keep crashing my browser. Unfortuntely, using the settings at the bottom of the Review Checker also crash my browser so I can't untoggle the "automatically show review checker" setting. I searched for review checker in the main browser settings but it didn't pop up.

Amazon is completely unusable and I'm too lazy to log into Amazon on Microsoft Edge instead. Please help!

Hi,

My application has recently been incorrectly flagged as dangerous by Firefox when downloading from https://librelancer.net/downloads.html, particularly when downloading https://librelancer.net/builds/librelancer-sdk-daily-win64.zip

Checking the URL at google safebrowsing https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing seems to show a clean report.

Is there a way of submitting the file as a false positive, as it is affecting my users.

Hi, I have been experiencing issues lately with Firefox. Attempting to install it often comes up with errors suggesting file corruption but I eventually got it to install. However, now it crashes as soon as I open it and in the past before a system reboot on my PC, Firefox tabs crashed very often. I'm trying to diagnose the issue. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox multiple times.

As my laptop is currently experiencing other issues, if there's a specific driver that is causing trouble, it'd be great to figure out what's wrong and what is causing Firefox to not function.

My specs are: Asus Rog Strix G614JIR - (GPU: 4070RTX, CPU: IntelCore i9, SSD 1TB, 32GB RAM).

I have attached the most recent crash. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

I have a question about using Firefox PDF Editor. I copied some text from a PDF document that is on my computer, by highlighting the text and then hitting Ctrl+C. The text copied onto my clipboard OK. Then I opened a blank PDF document in the Firefox PDF Editor and tried to paste that text into the blank document, but I wasn't able to do so because when I right-clicked on the blank document and then clicked on "paste", nothing happened. This apparently is because the word "paste" is faded-out in the drop-down menu (i.e., it does not appear in prominent bold print). Google's Artificial Intelligence seems to indicate that the technique I used would work (see screenshot which I've uploaded). But it didn't work, so can anyone please tell me how can I paste text into that blank document?
