I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

Loosing opened tabs when leaving private window open on closing Firefox

Hi!

I am used to Firefox with multiple tabs and occasionally, I need private windows of Firefox due to reloading of websites, etc.

Each time I close my Firefox non-private window whilst the private one is still open (mostly by mistake), I lose my browser session with multiple tab completely. Also the recovery-mechanisms I found in the documentation database don't work.

Anyway, I wouldn't want to recover my sessions, I'd rather like Firefox not to behave that way. It is possible to enhance Firefox in such a way that it does NOT forget its sessions if the user closes a private window after the main non-private one has already been closed?

Thanks in advance, Dennis

Good morning, I have two Firefox accounts: embecobat@gmail.com famillebuy@free.fr

While I was connected with famillebuy, I changed my account to go to embecobat.

A synchronization was done with the data still displayed from family buy. I took everything from my embecobat account.

Can you cancel this synchronization?

Embecobat is a professional account...

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely.

RE Firefox browser 132.0.1 (64-bit) My Firefox was just updated and it is incredibly slow. Not just the browser, but it is dragging my entire operating system into the mud. I check taskmanager and it is eating up more than a MILLION MB in memory This is simply crazy. I have used Firefox since it was introduced 20 years ago. I swear by this browser and do not use any other browsers But for the past three months every new update and 'fix' has succeeded simply in making everything slower, more cumbersome and essentially unusable! Look I use it conservatively: I ONLY have three addons: Addblock, a youtube video downloader and a video stream detector. NONE of those add-ons usually create that much drag on the system. It's the browser itself that is essentially dragging my computing experience back into the stone age. My entire operating system has slowed down to a crawl. This is not good!!!

I woke up this morning to find every single one of my passwords missing. It was so sudden that I could still go to a page and the usernames would still pop up for the log in, but the entire password database is empty.

I am just in a complete panic and shock, I had so much info in there.

I have a bunch of logins.json and a couple logins.json corrupt from around 2:26 this morning which I guess is when the system restarted.

is there anything I can do at all?

Hi

I just got a prompt window asking me to allow firefox to make changes on my device for updates which I accidently shut down without deciding to allow "yes or no".

I guess I can't recover the prompt window in any way so I tried to check for updates manually in the settings and apparently i'm updated anyway. So I wonder if I missed something important by not allowing "firefox to make changes" or am I good as long as it says "no updates" in the settings?

Thanks :-)

Hi All. Not sure if anyone came across same issue.

Installed the latest version. Whenever the app is launched, windows comes up on the front screen but I am not able to interact with the browser at all. I can press and expand the menu options, but not able to launch anything... Same happens with the search bar - only able to navigate to address bar, when typing in the address and pressing Enter, bar goes back to 'blank' and doesn't load any page. Tried different versions of the app, installing it from the download page as EXE and from MS Store as and app. Same issue persist in each scenario. The issue seems to be related only to Firefox despite having Chrome and Edge available on the device and both working just fine.

I am using Dell Laptop with Windows 10 (22H2) OS.

Any troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning since the latest version firefox 130.0.1 for PC the operation of certain sites is not correct. For example: airbnb site or centralepneu site. this Pb is specific to certain sites, others work perfectly. a test on the 2 sites mentioned with Firefox on mobile version 130.0.3 ==> correct operation. a test on these same site with microsoft edge ==> correct operation. Test with another PC and Firefox 130.0.1 same observation Firefox does not work on the sites mentioned (airbnb and centralpneu) but edge or opera works correctly. It therefore appears that the operation of version 130.0.1 of Firefox presents malfunctions. Is a new corrective version in progress? and for when? Without correction from Mozilla Firefox it is likely that I would change browsers

The presentation of the app “EML Viewer” for NextCloud isn't useful in Firefox and therefore “EML Viewer”/"NextCloud" cannot be used with Firefox. MS Edge and Chrome display the content better (correctly). Best regards Ralf

Die Dartsellung der App "EML Viewer" für NextCloud ist in Firefox nicht sinnvoll und damit "EML Viewer"/"NextCloud" nicht nutzbar. MS Edge und Chrome zeigen den Inhalt besser (korrekjt) an. Viele Grüße Ralf
