Sometime ago I must have made a typo when entering my email address into a pop-up window in Firefox. Firefox continues to find and use this wrong address in pre-fills but I can't find anyway to correct it. I've worked through Settings/Privacy & Security with no luck. Can someone help please? (Windows 10 Firefox 145.02)

I run the current Firefox version under Windows 11 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 15 3530 laptop, Lately, I've been having problems with my bookmarks:

  • First, I found that I had somehow lost a large number of bookmark tags; it took me several days to restore them,
  • Next, I found that I had lost a bunch of bookmark subfolders; the bookmarks (for the most part) are still listed under their tags.
  • When I try searching for tags in Bookmarks Manager, the search yield no results
  • When I try to restore my bookmarks from a previous date, I get an "unable to process file" message.
  • When I try to open the profile folder through the debugging information page, I get a "file not found" message. After some searching, I found the profile folder not at "C:\Users\croge\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\7csymh5k.default-release", but at "C:\Users\croge\AppData\Local\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2\LocalCache\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles", Something seems to have gone haywire--did I miss something, or is there an error somewhere?

The lack of a title bar makes it impossible, for example, to close the application by pressing the "X" icon in the upper right corner. The title bar does not appear when the application starts, but does appear when the application window is minimized and then maximized.

I have downloaded Firefox ESR and think it has been installed on my masOS version 10.12.1 and am wondering if I can use it on this version after reading your warning about support. Perhaps I have not installed it properly as I have just used what I think was the previous version since it has all the oldsaved sites.

When I opened Firefox[^1] today I was greeted with a "Donate to Mozilla Foundation" page open, with the message:

"You power Firefox. Now donate to make good tech the default.

Mozilla Foundation — the non-profit behind Firefox — is building a future where technology serves people, not power.

Your donation to Mozilla Foundation keeps the internet open, private, and built for people. Donate today to make good on the promise of the internet."

Does this message mean that Donations to the Mozilla Foundation now fund Firefox development? As I understand it, previously donations were not allowed to be used by the Mozilla Corporation, which actually develops Firefox. I'd love to donate to fund Firefox development, as I feel it is a critically important open source project.

[^1]: 145.0.2 from the Mozilla Debian repository.

My Surface Laptop 7 w/ SnapDragon Elite's Firefox installation started crashing this morning immediately after rebooting to complete some Windows updates. I have attempted starting Firefox in Maintenance mode, Uninstalled and reinstalled and I still get the crash reporter. Refreshing Firefox at the uninstall process does not fix it.

I'm running Windows 11 Enterprise edition, fully patched w/ Firefox 146.0.

The 4 Windows updates that were installed:

Uninstalled KB5072033 Uninstalled KB5070311 Cannot be uninstalled KB5072641 Cannot be uninstalled KB5071142

Still didn't fix the problem.

These are the recent crash reports:

Crash ID: ⁨bp-8ec5b63c-4408-437c-b9bb-f4d5b0251213⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-ce396463-0a75-46b6-8131-33cce0251213⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-ea0b59dd-1cee-48da-957e-949120251213⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-f9342e01-1a55-4387-af6d-3b8ef0251213⁩

Any help is appreciated!

After the last Firefox update (146.0), my bookmarks bar only shows thumbnail images. The descriptive text which was previously black text on white back ground now appears to be white text on white background. (Whether my system is set to light theme or dark theme.) This happens on all of my Windows computers (both 10 and 11). How do I resolve this problem?

Intermittent “SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT” error on my site in Firefox

Hello, I run a movie and drama-related website: https://tvmon.com.co/. Recently, I’ve noticed that Firefox occasionally throws the following error when trying to access the site:

"Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to tvmon.com.co. . The OCSP response contains an invalid signing certificate. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT"

This issue is very strange because:

  1. The site loads fine in Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
  1. My SSL/TLS certificate is valid, up-to-date, and passes external tests (SSL Labs, etc.).
  1. The error only appears occasionally in Firefox, refreshing sometimes fixes it, sometimes not.
  1. Hosting and server logs show no issues at all.

I suspect this is related to Firefox’s stricter OCSP validation, but I’m not sure how to debug or resolve it. Since my site streams drama and movie content, this error is frustrating for users who rely on Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this intermittent OCSP signing certificate error? Is there a known fix or workaround for Firefox-specific validation issues?

I have Firefox set to use the built-in .pdf viewer to avoid Adobe's intrusive AI features. I have disabled Adobe's AI features in the Acrobat settings, that does not seem to apply when Firefox opens the Acrobat reader. Consequently, I have to fight off AI "suggestions" and offers of help when I simply want to read a document from the web.

So I set Firefox to use the built-in reader. After 1-2 seconds, it switched to Adobe, and brings up all the annoying AI features. How can I keep Firefox from switching to Adobe?

As a test, I renamed Acrobat.exe to AcrobatX.exe. Firefox behavior did not change. I also killed all Acrobat-related tasks in Task Manager. My document still displayed in Acrobat after 1-2 seconds, but none of the Acrobat-related tasks reappeared in the Task Manager.

I am using Firefox 145.0.2 64 bit in Windows 11 with all updates current.

Many thanks for advice.
