I've been using Firefox for DECADES and I'm damned if I know why. Every time there's an update to the Firefox browser, it gets worse: Less user-friendly, more problems. For example: With every update, my settings are completely reset. Why? Do you really imagine that users don't want to keep their settings when you do an update to the software????????????? Why do you do this?

How about the 'Secure Connection Failed' message. This is pure incompetence. It happens again and again and again. Why? Interestingly enough, every one of the sites that Firefox claims are insecure have no trouble loading in Chrome. Explain to all Firefox users why we should keep using Firefox. I want to watch.

I've a question about synchronization because I'm confused using it. I thought that my passwords saved in browser on PC will be send to Firefox server and when I sign in on my cellphone they're will be "download" to my phone. But it doesn't work like that. Maybe a month ago i changed a lot of passwords, saved them and synchronized with account using PC. Now, when I install Firefox and sign in to my account on my mobile, passwords (old versions) was send from my phone to the Firefox server and changes made on PC was overwritten by older versions from mobile. What's wrong with that?

Everytime there is a new build version (not incremental) of Firefox my places, favicons etc corrupt and i end up with a new profile created, trying to use my files in the new version just keeps on corrupting them when i rename them back again.

I'm currently on 114.02 and upon updating to 115 my profile is useless. I have to start all over again with a new profile

Surely this is not how its supposed to work. Start a new profile after every new build version update

Am i Alone?

Thanks

Why is my computer so SLOW to start up in the morning. I think it may have something to do with Firefox. I start the win7 then click on the firefox tab in order to go to my other sites. BUT firefox takes for ever to load?

I am continuing to get this 'firefox not responding' message while I am working around on the internet, then the computer stops working for a period of time (stalls out).

I leave a subject, then try to reopen firefox to look for something else, and even thought I think I have left firefox, then reoped it,...instead it tells me I now have 2 firefoxes opened because the other one never shut down??

I'm 80 years old and don't understand who ever is writing all this new software. I often wonder if they ever learned english??

How do I get firefox to the old look. No double spacing, background where address bar is to go back and no network like tabs for folders (back to actual yellow folders). Sorry for the image quality. Also this happens about once a year I tried to remove malware (which I had), but didn't work.

hello, many years ago, I used to be able to keep my browser history for years. now it only saves about 1 year and 6 months. since it is my memory, I found it very helpful. I can't find any information on how to customize that feature so it is never deleted. I'm using firefox 115.2.1esr on windows 7. thanks a lot for your help.

Now I am not able to send a new email. It always assumes an ongoing conversation, I do not want that at all. My email provider is WOW, they seem to be changed also. What I miss most is that when I enter a name the email address no longer appears. That ruins it totally. That is/was the very best email function but now it is gone.

I use that address to start a new conversation with a friend, and now that function is no longer found.. When I open an email the sender address is not shown, I need that address always. The sender address is vital, it is how I report scams, but more important it is how I can send a new email to the sender, I do not always want to do a reply. The size of the email is not shown, that is how I detect spam and hidden malware.

Has Mozilla been taken over by microsoft? That is what this change looks like. (Sorry, I know that sounds rather nasty, but it looks that way)

I use several different computers but I am the only user, I have not yet tried the other computers to see if the old version is still available. So far this computer is the only one updated. I need to assure that no automatic updates ever are done, EVER!!!

This is my second posting of this problem. When I open a document through a web site, I do not see any text in it. If I open web mail in Spectrum I get strange symbols on the top menu bar. None of these issues are evident in Chrome. I have made sure to update to the latest version of Firefox available, 92.0.1. This has no effect.
