Firefox Community Forum

Dear and respected Firefox Dev Crew,

I you can say love Mozilla Firefox and have been using it for a quite long time now ,but the issue i have with her it is a pure fact that every new version that gets pushed out is worse that previous one by many things like this 138.0.4 that after installing better say updating to it was has it done it has removed all my addressees from URL address bar ,furthermore ,the ones i do not want in previous versions i was like all of us able to delete simply and effectively by pressing shift+ delete which has not been so to say debunked or non working for quite a long time and only way to delete unwanted address from URL bar is to go to History and than find that site and push forget about this site which is annoying because like previous shift + delete which just did it's job of deleting the desired address ,method of deleting unwanted addresses from the URL bar is annoying,frustrating and a glitch in code i guess because without any reason what so ever do you want it or not the deleted address space will be populated by another even more annoying and non needed site and like that in circle ,i just want my URL ADDRESS BAR to be populated with shortcuts to the site which i want and need and that is all nothing more not Firefox to be populating my address bar with everything it get his hands on which frustrates to the point of madness cause in setting Firefox has been customized to populate address bar just with the shortcuts ,but i want them to be shortcuts i want ,i will need, i will use, and i will utilize not populated by some site i visited once 1000 years ago ! Thank you very much on your guidance and listening to problems each new version brings and if someone has a suggestion on how can i stop that and get out of Firefox what i want and need it for thank you i'll will be more than grateful on your support! All The best ! And o yea for the end what is the exact number Firefox URL address bar can hold ? With respect

Hi, upon seeing that Firefox 138 was available, I was surprised to see that my version of Firefox is still on 136. I'm on Kubuntu Oracular (24.10) and using the PPA at https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu oracular InRelease. After checking https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and filtering for the different Ubuntu releases, it seems that both Noble and the newer Plucky have 138 available, but Oracular didn't even get 137.

Is there a reason for this?

My computer will likely update to 25.04 in the relatively near future (there is currently an updater bug that's delaying the rollout), but I'm still curious why this is two versions behind.

I used to use firedfox years ago but switched like many to chrome when it became popular, I then moved to Edge which i prefered and used for many years now due to Chrome planning to block adverts I decided to give firefox another try, I am finding Firefox a delight to use and wish i had switched back years ago however having watched many review videos before installing it it would seem the majority believe it'll soon be over for firefox and we will all be stuck with no option but to use a chrome based browser, i hope this is not the case.

Do those that use it reglarly believe the time may be up or is there is life in the old dog yet?

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

I'm done with Firefox. Suddenly this past few months more than once a week I'm getting the "Restart to continue using Firefox" because of updates. This is annoying and unnecessary for every update they push. It's a browser, that's all. The restarts can wait until I feel like closing or when I update Linux and restart the laptop.

Can't even open a new tab when this happens.

The updates cannot be THAT critical that work is halted.

КАК ЗАПРЕТИТЬ ВАШЕЙ НЕДОДЕЛАННОЙ ПРОГЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ В САМЫЕ НЕПОДХОДЯЩИЕ МОМЕНТЫ, ДА И ВООБЩЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ?! Сегодня угробила два часа на сочинение текста (копипаст в окно не работает), мозилла подтянула какой то говносервис с переводом страницы ... и потеряла мою авторизацию. И это не первое неудобство!

Hi Forum! My Firefox is constantly (weekly) asking to update, even though we're on the latest version (right now we're on 138.0.1 (64-bit) I've reinstalled Firefox a couple times but the issue still persists. I'm not sure what my next steps would be.

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your knowledge and time!

please try and update for me i have tried several times and it keeps failing to update i have closed computer and cleared every thing and have tried several times and nothing seems to work it has asked me to update several times over the last couple of days but nothing is updating and i cannot play any music on Utube or even old music that i have downloaded long ago

i do not have anyone to help me on this i did try help line but i must be doing something wrong because nothing has changed

All - I was terrified to sign off my computer last nite, in the event that shutting down would make my missing bookmarks disappear into the ozone layer. But, I did so at midnite. Woke up this morning and when I logged in - BAMM - my bookmarks were all right where they should be, my recent activity history was there so I am here to announce it had to be a user error! Before I noticed the bookmarks were MIA, I had gone thru the setting and review all were as they should be but I never did a restart to make sure all the settings were applied. So when I shut down at midnight, that must have acted as a reboot.

I am getting a new memory stick to back those bookmarks up today and this is resolved!!!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________ An update was installed on April 29, and for the first time, ALL BOOKMARKS appear to be wiped. Have NEVER had this happen in 20 years so hoping it's a simple problem such as a setting change. What's the best place to start or should I just uninstall and go to the last update which was the Firefox 137.0.2 (20250414091429) Installed on: April 15, 2025 at 7:17:18 PM?

The following update from 4/29 wiped my bookmarks. WIN PC Intel 64bit 8GB UPDATE INFO: Firefox 138.0 (20250421163656) Installed on: April 29, 2025 at 5:17:56 PM Status: The Update was successfully installed.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Connie T.
