Whenever there's an update for Firefox (which is OFTEN), there's no notification or indication, the browser just... stops working. I use a Macbook running Big Sur.

I spent two hours this morning assuming that Google Docs was messing up or that my connection was bad, until I checked Firefox. Turns out that, once again, the browser update caused the browser to just stop functioning. This is far from the first time this has happened, and I'm really fed up.

I also hate this new thing where companies don't allow you to submit a support request, instead they want you to read through the help articles and post on the forums and do ANYTHING except contact them directly. I work in a customer support environment, so I know how dumb customers are, but making it impossible to contact you is not the solution.

Please help, I'm trying to see what actual DATE I went to the website, and/or the time. All Firefox history shows me is the order in which I went to the website. For example, if I got to History>Today> it just says that I went to supportdotmozilladotorg, not the date or time. Same if I go to "Last 7 days" - it's simply a list of the sites I've visited, not which day of the week I went to them. Any advice would be appreciated as this is somewhat urgent since I'm trying to report fraud from a website and need to show what date/time my activity was on there. Please help and thank you. I've attached a picture for reference.

I like having cookies because I can stay logged into websites and it improves functionality. Unfortunately, during a tech support call awhile ago, they did something, and now my cookies seem to be disappearing once a month. I was just on Apple tech support for another issue, but they said they don't know anything about it. Is there something I can do through Firefox, or do I need to bug Apple again? It's possible that it was the Microsoft/Teams tech support. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I want to keep my cookies.

Hi. I am in Mac Big Sur and Firefox 108. I tend to keep a lot of windows open and navigate among them using the "Window" pulldown menu at the top between "Tools" and "Help". It used to be that the latest window more or less stayed at the bottom and the others stayed in order so they were easy to find quickly. A recent upgrade made it so the windows are now alphabetized and constantly shuffling. Since they are alphabetized by the name in the page title, this often offers no clue as to what it is--like it might be alphabetized under like cart or home page or main or something general like that. Also, if you have different tabs in a window, that window might jump from the top to the middle if a different tab is last looked at. Bottom line: it is very difficult and non-intuitive to find a page when you have a lot of windows open--but it used to be easy. Is there a way to order the wondows the way you want them or go back to the chronological order of before? Seems like there must be a setting somewhere. Thanks so much for any help.

i can't find the name of the new cookie/tracker form moizilla i enabled last week, immediately going to utube (never logged ln to utube) it's obvious utube is no longer tailoring channels to my history. (but for years i've used firefox with its previous built in cookie/tracking enable. i also always have active Ghostery on full block).

i want to lower blocking for utube only, not remove because previous firefox before the "new" cooking/tracker utube did somehow store what type of channels to suggest. does utube use a cookie or a tracker to store channels to suggest? (note i do NOT login to utube, it's saving/storing my type of channels liked by other means than user account).

USA is nuts into fascism! of course americans don't want corporations recording our personal internet history then selling it to other corporations. to try to stop it citizens have to beg around mozilla, ghostery for complicated settings. even many of the help apps like ghostery r default to send them data, u have to hound around details in their preferences to disable them getting our history. citizens should have to be doing this to protect ourselves from corporations!

(ps. i upload my avatar, i see it on some pages, this page it's back to a B circle. i've uploaded successful 3 times yet it keeps disappearing).

The one killer feature Safari on a Mac has that keeps me from fully embracing Firefox is its integration with Messages for two factor security codes sent via text. In Safari, you don't have to jump over to Messages to copy and comeback to paste the code into the field. A box drops down under the field you can click on to autofill the code right there on the webpage.

Does Firefox have this ability somewhere or are there plans to add it soon? I seem to have read that Apple allows third party apps to add this integration since Big Sur.
