Every time I close out of Firefox and then later, reopen Firefox, it restores my previous session.

This is despite my settings being like so:

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-10-10-07-31-50-59f657.png

And my "about: config" set like so:

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-10-10-07-34-04-637557.png

What can be done so that, after closing Firefox, it does *NOT* restore my old session when I decide to open Firefox again?

Hello, since the last update to 105.0.3 I've been having bugs with my keyboard. For unknown reasons, in the middle of nowhere, Firefox can just stop registering any keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+A, Alt+Shift when I try to change my keyboard layout and so on. Relaunching Firefox temporary solves the problem until after undetermined period of time it happens again. I didn't have this bug before, I haven't changed my system settings nor Firefox settings recently, so I don't know what might be causing it

I am using Firefox portable. I received a prompt that an update was available, so I downloaded it. Now, ALL of my bookmarks disappeared. The version it downloaded is 105.0.3

I'm VERY not happy ! * I had 100's of bookmarks !! If there had been a way to turn off updates, I would have done it a long time ago.

I assume there isn't any way to retrieve them ??

I have an issue with YouTube where videos are consistently "skipping" like a record. I have a fast internet connection, I have quit and restarted Firefox, and I have cleared my cache in attempts to fix the issue. I only noticed it about a week ago.

some firefox has kept my username and password for my bank.

i go to that page and they are both prefilled. I have tried to use the password manager to remove them but failed. I did find an entry and clicked to remove it but it still does it.

How can I get this out of the system? Pretty serious, eh?

And it is firefox, not cookies. I have a cookie manager and there's no cookies for the site.

Ever since today, firefox has been very slow with youtube, and I noticed it's been having a memory leak. Every time I load a video on there ram usage spikes by about 1 gb, then gradually increases over time (It never goes down). Also cpu usage when loading a page is really high (almost 100% usage). How do I fix this? I tried all the solutions google had to offer but nothing worked. Never had any problem like this for over the 10 years I've been using firefox

Firefox Sync Meltdown [Critical]

While booting up my laptop, a series of extremely unfortunate crashes occurred back to back and ended up wiping the entirety of my synced login passwords and saved email addresses for all websites. After jumping through the multiple different hoops of profile management, json file extension editing, attempting to use a file explorer to recover previous versions of the required json file, I am at the end of my rope and worse off than where I started. Everything is missing now; bookmarks, passwords, email addresses, everything but recent history in this very browsing session.

All of my json files with relevant information are filled to the brim with null values, nothing seems recoverable and it's honestly a little soul crushing to deal with this. I read online that the the Firefox Sync data is also stored server side, and after multiple attempts of sighing into my account on different devices, I cannot get that server side data to flow back into my browser. If there is anything that can be sent my way to get me back on track, please, please help me out here in recovering my information. This is horrible. I have nothing now.

WebGL2.0 doesn't allow flipping frame with blitFramebuffer()

Hi. So in desktop OpenGL it is totally valid to write the following in order to flip the frame vertically into dst buffer:

 glBlitFramebuffer(0, h, w, 0, 0, 0, w, h, GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, GL_NEAREST));

In WebGL if I do this:

gl.blitFramebuffer(0, h,w,0 , 0, 0, w, h, gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, gl.NEAREST);

I am getting WebGL warning: blitFramebuffer: If the source is multisampled, then the source and dest regions must match exactly.

Similar error is reported in Chrome.

When I am looking into the related C++ code I can see this:

        if (dstX0 != srcX0 ||
           dstX1 != srcX1 ||
           dstY0 != srcY0 ||
           dstY1 != srcY1)
       {
           webgl->ErrorInvalidOperation("%s: If the source is multisampled, then the"
                                        " source and dest regions must match exactly.",
                                        funcName);
           return;
       }

I am not sure why this restriction has been imposed. GLES2/3 support this kind of dimensions setup with no errors. Can someone explain the reason behind this? And if it is a bug/missed functionality, where should it be reported?

Since the Oct 7 Firefox update (105.0.3 ) for Mac, I've experienced slowdowns and freezes that affect Finder operations as well as Fox. I have a M1 iMac 27" running MacOS12.6. It goes away by when I close and restart Firefox and/or do Mac maintenance with Onyx. Because the effect is progressive, starting mild and getting worse, I think you've got a memory leak. I 1st noticed it in a 30-tab environment. I'll see if it affects my Mac-Air running an earlier MacOS

Hello guys, I'm trying to read information from a pdf, it works fine. But when I send the same code to the add-on, it returns Error: Permission denied to access property "autoAllocateChunkSize". This leads me to believe it's some specific permission in manifest.json.

I would like help on what permission should I include for it to work.

I've installed Firefox 105.0.3 on a machine with a fresh installation of Windows. I've left the machine running overnight. The next morning, Firefox stops loading pages. When I check C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox, I can see that Firefox.exe has a file date of July, instead of October: all the files in this folder are now for version 102 instead of 105. This has happened several times in a row now. What could be causing this problem?

I just signed up for Mail.com and created a new email account there. When I first used it, I received a message (not an email) that I am not using the most current Firefox, and I need to download the most current Firefox. However, Firefox's update function says I am current. Now, I am concerned that Mail.com is not reliable or safe, although it is promoted by Firefox. Can you clear this up?
