When searching on the internet, after entering the search name and hitting enter. The search results are on a Yahoo search page. I can't find any malware, extension, add-on that is associated with Yahoo. I did see a log that was in red that was associated with a website I attempted to convert a png file to a ico file. However, after downloading the software it was for converting PDF's to images. so I uninstalled it. it was after that Yahoo showed up. That log in web history was associated with the software.

How do I remove "firefox browser being managed by your organisation" . I have looked at several posts and don't understand a word of it. I recently re-installed Firefox and lost all my passwords but still have bookmarks, every time I turn off firefox it forgets my account sign in, I then get an email to say I have signged in on a new device. I suspect it is the Norton 360 security software. Please can someone explain in simple terms how to remove it. I have tried contacting Norton but their support is worse than Microsoft.

When I creat a new bookmarks they are not automatically put in alphabetical order but instead are placed in the ned. Why not put them in order when they are made? Anyway, I tried to use the option that allows me to sort bookmarks alphabetically but nothing happens. This used to work but not now. I am using 137.0.1 (aarch64)

I have attached an image to show what I mean.

Hello there! I recently updated Firefox to 137.0.1. But the update doesn't automatically display the status bar when you hover over the bottom of the page. I had to resize Firefox to make it full screen to display the status bar properly. This makes it difficult for me to use Firefox. I'm pretty sure this is due to a version update. This problem occurred after I updated the Firefox browser, during which time my Windows system was not updated. Is there any solution? Or how can I download a previous version of the browser?

Can’t see “Manage Site List” for Multi-Account Containers

Hi there,

I’m using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension and would like to remove a site that’s been set to "Always open in [X] container." However, I don’t see a “Manage Site List” option anywhere in the container settings as seen here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

   I’ve clicked the Containers icon and selected the gear ⚙️ to edit a container.
   I enabled privacy.userContext.siteAssignments.enabled in about:config and set it to true.
   I restarted Firefox (with session restore on), but still no option appears to view or manage assigned sites.

I’m on Firefox Desktop (Mac), and I’ve confirmed that I’m using the official Multi-Account Containers extension.

Is this a bug, a UI change, or something I’m missing? I’d really prefer not to manually edit the containers.json file if there’s a built-in way to manage these assignments.

Thanks so much for any guidance!

When I first open Firefox from the icon in my taskbar the opening window says the following:

'Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 0.0.0.4. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.'

However this is only the first window, after that I can open a new tab in the same window without any problems.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without avail. Can anyone help please?

I am evaluating a password manager application and exported my FF passwords and imported them into the app. For testing I removed all of the passwords from FF. I want to password protect the csv file rather than delete it in case I need to import the passwords back into FF. When I go to File/Info, the "Protect Workbook" option is greyed out. When I go to the "Review" tab, the option to "Protect Workbook" is available, not the "Unprotect" option, so the workbook is not protected. If I click on the "Share" folder on the right side of the ribbon, there is no "More" option. In Windows Explorer the file is on my desktop, not OneDrive - Personal. I right clicked on the file, selected "Give access to" and took the option to remove access. The File/Info option is still greyed out. How can I password protect this file or how can I export it in a format that can be imported later?

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

Hello,

as per description I noticed that firefox version 138 requires an ArrayBuffer as the argument of WebAssembly.compile() and doesn't allow anymore (like in 137) a SharedArrayBuffer, is this intended or it will be fixed in the future? Follows a simple test case. Kind reagards.


--- index.html --- <title>Example</title> <script> let instance = undefined; async function loadWasm() { try { const response = await fetch('./sum.wasm'); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const sharedBuffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(buffer.byteLength); const tmpView = new Uint8Array(sharedBuffer); tmpView.set(new Uint8Array(buffer)); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(sharedBuffer); instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); } catch (error) { alert(`failed to compile in wasm: ${error.message}`); } } loadWasm(); function testWasm() { if (instance) alert(`sum 1 + 2 = ${instance.exports.add(1, 2)}`); else alert('invalid instance, failed to compile'); } </script> <button onclick="testWasm()">Press to run wasm function (sum)</button> --- ---
