When changing tags in Microsoft 365 Term Store, the changes are not showing on the respective Sharepoint sites and lists when displayed in Firefox. The tags still show the old values. Refreshing the page and deleting the cache does not solve the issue. Only uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox resolves the issue. The problem does not occur in Microsoft Edge.

So every few days now if the free VPN is on I get my tabs locked into an error. I get that warning screen and sites stop loading or partly load, before the VPN update I never had to close Firefox this often, if left idle with the VPN on this seems to happen faster, I have left the VPN on overnight and I tend to nearly 90% of the time wake up to this error, if I disable the VPN fully I can pick up where I was but cutting it back on I have high odds that it will break, Firefox is idle while I do other stuff and the VPN is on, I get that error and I get to watch the weather app give me it's error. I have never had Firefox fight my antivirus It worked fine for ages, and only now do I need to reset Firefox by force now every 1 to 3 days. I use to be able to leave tabs open, but now they always error out in a few days. It could be other things, I just never had problems like this until now, it's so common and in the same time tables.

I use the current version of Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux. When I scroll down past the individual bookmarks at the end of the menu, the folder names start repeating, along with the bookmarks inside them. I have three or four sets of bookmarks and would like to have only one. How can I delete all the bookmark folders below a certain point? By the way, when I install a new, different version of the operating system and sign in Sync restores all the bookmarks.

I'm sure it's a setting but I can't figure out which one.

It has always logged me out when I close or update the browser, which is a minor inconvenience. And in that instance when I got to log in, it has indicated that a verification email has been sent to my account, and historically clicking that does the trick.

Now it does one of two things: It will either tell me to click on the verification email sent to my email account but the verification email it never arrives, or it will simply remain static, as if I never entered a password at all.

Very frustrating, please tell me which settings to change and I'll do it. Thanks!

How to sort Tab Groups alphabetically in the Add Tab to Group Menu?

I want to add tabs to groups bit the groups are changing their position and it would be very helpful to (optionally) have the freedom to sort Tab Groups to appear alphabetically in that menu!

But that should NOT affect the sorting order in the browser window!

But of course it also would be helpful to have the freedom to also sort the tab groups order in the main windows, but please make it a different sort order than in the Add to Tab Group menu dropdown.

Thanks!

I use multiple Firefox profiles and create separate desktop shortcuts for each profile using Firefox’s built-in profile shortcut option. I then pin each profile shortcut to the Windows taskbar so I can launch them independently.

The issue is that when I click one of the pinned profile icons, Firefox opens a new separate taskbar group/icon instead of attaching the window to the already pinned taskbar item for that specific profile.

For example:

• I pin Profile A and Profile B separately to the taskbar.
• When Profile A is already open and I click its pinned icon again, Windows creates another Firefox taskbar button/group instead of reusing the existing pinned Profile A button.
• Google Chrome profiles do not behave this way on Windows — each profile stays grouped with its own pinned taskbar icon as expected.

Is this a known limitation/bug with Firefox profiles on Windows taskbar integration, or is there a way to make Firefox profile shortcuts behave like Chrome profile shortcuts?

FF for Linux Mint mint-001 1.0 FF closes in just a couple of minutes, even with one open tab and nothing clicked or typed. FF crashes even in "Troublshooting Mode". "about.crashes" lists no crash reports Using Task Monitor to view system vitals, I discovered that while CPU usage by FF is very low, memory usage rises linearly over a couple of minutes. System memory available is 31.0 Gb. When FF usage reaches 30.7 Gb, FF crashes. No other browser or program has issues.

There was an update with Mozilla Firefox on the 8th. I had tabs open on the computer. After the update, I could not retrieve the tabs I had open. Tried to restore and nothing worked. Is there any way to restore my tabs?

I can't log into chase.com from Firefox, which I've been doing for years. I get an outage message. But down detector shows nothing. It went on for days so I tried Microsoft Edge with Bing and it works. Is there some Firefox setting I need to change?

I thought I used to be able to access browser history from much longer ago, either way I can no longer see any history longer ago than 29/10/2025 is there anyway for me to restore, download or access older history, or has it been permanently deleted? I do still have a back-up of 28/12/2025 but I don't know if or where that contains history. I'm looking for data between 2019-06-01 and 2024-08-21. Weird thing is I remember accessing search history that old before... though I'm not sure how if if it doesn't store it for that long. Any help would be appreciated.

After a recent firefox download, I noticed that on my 3 Mac computers, all using firefox on facebook, that none of my searches are being remembered anymore. But on Chrome they are remembered.

Does anyone else have this problem and what can be done about it. Facebook is useless for me without being able to use the search feature properly.

Firefox FREQUENTLY totally removes added applications attached and it totally screw up my ability to access anything when you remove my Bitdefender application from access then I have to again EXPLORE added applicaitons!!

Good evening,

I'm going to install the applicatioin because it hasn't been working for several monnths ( it doesn't work anymore ). For exemple , if I want to watch Netflix and the video starts playing , there's no picture, it just loops and the screen is black.

I've tried everything turning off the computer, closing Netflix, even Youtube . I'm at a loss.

Thank you

i've seen this before, in different older machines, but i can't remember the remedy. possibly a mouse-screen problem. it started with 150 i think...

Also in youtube, a gray layer covers the selections rendering mouse clicks impossible. clcking the logo, page reloads, but soon the layer covers most of the page. resetting graphics had no result.

thanks

i'm using mf 150

Hello,

Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens

Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.

Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.

Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)

This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?

Thank you.
