Hi, Lately I haven't been able to add a bookmark icon on my 4-row new tab page. There's still to empty spots I would like to fill but can't find the usual + button. Thanks for the help

Issue: When Firefox starts after a system reboot, it starts on the incorrect desktop. This seems to be off by one; that is, I have Firefox assigned to Desktop 3 (using the Dock icon's Options menu). Under normal operation, it starts on Desktop 3, but after a reboot, it seems to start on (more recently) Desktop 2 or (earlier) Desktop 4. Unsure about what causes it to prefer 2 vs. 4.

This seems to happen after I've shut down (quit Firefox normally, shut down without reopening windows on login, power goes off, power on, log in, then click on the Firefox icon in the Dock) or after a system update (which reopens windows on login for me after rebooting and installing the update). It does not seem to happen after a Firefox update or after quitting Firefox normally and then restarting it from the Dock icon right away.

Pretty irritating, as I have major applications assigned to specific desktops, and Firefox is the only one that seems to forget which desktop it should be on.

Details:

Firefox 150.0.3 (aarch64):

• Settings > General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs > TRUE (checked)

macos 26.5 (25F71) Tahoe:

• Settings > Desktop and Dock > Mission Control:
• ---> Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use: FALSE
• ---> ...switch to a Space with open windows for that application: TRUE
• ---> Group windows by application: TRUE
• ---> Displays have separate Spaces: TRUE
• Dock > Firefox application icon > [Right Click] > Options > Assign To > This Desktop (i.e., Desktop 3)
• Apple Menu > Shutdown > Reopen windows when logging in: FALSE

Hi there,

I am on a MacBook Air M3/8GB ram. I was really wanting to use Firefox due to your stance on privacy, etc. but here is my experience:

Yes, I keep a lot of tabs open - I do try to group them and hope that tabs in closed groups are deactivated, but I don't know this at all.

If I use Firefox all will seem well until my machine sleeps. On waking, it is excruciatingly slow - we are talking multiple seconds to even switch tabs or get the cursor to be "hot" when filling a form. Upon trying to quit (restarting being the usual first step), FF will ask confirmation and then close the windows, but will not completely quit, requiring me to force-quit. On restart it seems to behave again, at least for a while.

While I do see some evidence that others have this issue (memory leak?) there are no real methods or answers as to how, if at all, to fix this. It took a lot to get everything on FF working the way I like after leaving Chrome, but I really can't deal with this, and I think I will be looking at switching again - I guess to Safari.

I would love to know how to fix this, but really I don't imagine this is due to my system as much as the FF browser. That said, if you ahve any ideas, I would be open.

So I'm sure that I would be answering my own question with this but does anyone know if the new broswer VPN will at any point work like full independant VPNs that allow you to change your IP location manually? I ask since I dont use a VPN regularly and I know one of the famous uses for one is for streaming services for exclusive content in other countries. I would assume no that location changing like that wouldn't apply but I am curious and wanted to ask for anyone elses input on it

Whenever I try to watch videos on websites such as onlyfans youtube, etc., the videos will not play since I installed firefox. I have to shut my computer down and start it all up for them to play. I googled how to fix this and I need to go to settings and scroll to performance and uncheck use recommended performance settings and uncheck use hardware acceleration when available but I can't find this to uncheck these items. Can anybody help me? TIA

I can access Chewy with Safari, but not with Firefox. So the problem is not with my Mac settings and the problem is not with Chewy, the problem is with Firefox. Please address and fix it.
