Hi - After the latest Firefox update on my laptop around 2 days ago, I am now unable to play a game on facebook that i've been playing with no probs on Firefox for years. After this update, this game of all things (nothing else is) is slowing Firefox down. Now the page fully loads very slowly - as do the moves I try to make. Am I correct in thinking that there is basically no option to safely return to the previous version? If so, why at the very least was I not given the option not to update, while acknowledging I may be at greater risk if making such a choice. Looking forward to some help please! Thank you Steve

i am a new user of firefox and selected it to securely access some websites. I followed the instructions to set firefox as my default browser but the search bar still says" search with google or enter address " and it shows google as the web browser , When i click the dropdown menu firefox is not an option . How do i set this so firefox is the browser ? i am using windows 11 .Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am trying to login to a retirement account that Firefox/Mozilla is blocking. The site works on another browser, but, since I like to use Firefox exclusively for online work, I would really like to access the login there. Any suggestions? work arounds? I get an access denied ERROR 15 "This request was blocked by our security service" instead of the login. Since this site is a retirement account site, I cannot give more info.

I have downloaded and installed the latest update for Firefox. v142.0 64 bit. It is not playing well with Facebook on my Windows 10 pro 64 bit machine. Slow or no response to mouse clicks. I have closed Firefox and reloaded after a reboot. No problem when using a different browser. I have not discovered issues with the several other platforms I visit.

I am experiencing a recurring issue with Firefox microphone permissions.

When I visit https://chatgpt.com and allow microphone access, it works for the current session. However, every time I open a new window or restart Firefox, I receive the same “Enable mic access” error from the site. I have to manually re-set the microphone permission through the lock icon each time.

Steps I have already tried:

Manually setting https://chatgpt.com to Allow in Firefox → Settings → Privacy & Security → Permissions → Microphone.

Adding https://chatgpt.com as an exception in Cookies and Site Data (set to Allow).

Clearing site data and resetting permissions.

Confirming microphone access is enabled in Windows settings.

Running Firefox in Safe Mode with all extensions disabled.

Creating a fresh Firefox profile and testing again.

The issue persists across profiles and with no extensions enabled. Other sites seem to remember microphone permissions correctly, but chatgpt.com does not.

System details:

Firefox version: [insert your version, e.g., 128.0.2 (64-bit)]

Operating System: [e.g., Windows 11 Pro 23H2]

Reproducible: Always

Expected result: Once I set the microphone permission to Allow for chatgpt.com, Firefox should persist this setting across sessions.

Actual result: The permission resets, and I have to manually toggle it on each new session.

Please advise if this is a known bug or provide a fix.

Thank you.

Recently the audio is only coming out of the left side in videos I uploaded from my iPhone. This does not happen in Safari or Chrome where the audio is perfect, only in Firefox for the Mac. I've gone through the usual troubleshooting methods like opening in safe mode, clearing the cookies and cache, checking settings, etc and can't seem to fix this. Can you help? Thank you, Larry

just recently my firefox just stopped using all the saved logins and passwords i had saved to my account. but the account is still logged in but says there is no passwords saved to the saved logins and passwords. i tried looking online for solutions but i couldn't find or figure out anything that matched what was happening to me or at a similar time. i have checked the login.json files and it is not corrupt, i tried to see if maybe the extensions i have may have deleted them somehow but they shouldnt be able to do that. i don't know or remember literally any of my passwords because firefox was holding them and would auto fill them and now it says they're gone and they don't have any saved in the browser. i was legitimately ready to try deciphering my passwords from my files to literally get anywhere near to what they could have been

The new update refuse to load youtube, MeWe etc. It says "Cannot do this offline".

Hello,

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and really enjoy using the Fullscreen Mode (F11) while browing Websites, since I hide my taskbar in Windows, hiding the Browsers own taskbar makes for a really immersive browsing experience.

Only problem I've happend upon is, that when Fullscreen Mode is enabled, my automatically hiding Taskbar does not want to appear when being moused over. This is logical behavior and I understand why it does that, but is there some way to change this behavior in the backend of the software?

Thank you very in advance to anyone who answers.

Kind Regards

Hello. As the subject suggests, all my tabs were closed on their own when I opened Firefox. Open last session tabs on startup setting is on. I had a few hundreds of tabs, 300+ or something (ik it's a lot). All gone... I had some important searches among them. Is there a way to get all my tabs back? Please help. Thank you.

"Email masks are masked, or private, email addresses that forward messages to your true email address." Question: Does Relay simply consider my login email for my Mozilla account to be my "true email address"? I have more than one email address. Can I have messages to my email mask forwarded to a different address than that used for my Mozilla account?
