Firefox 149.0 - after update can't save any file, instead it tries to Open everything - Linux Debian

1. This could be under-reported problem. People will have problems reporting this bug

2. Whenever I try to save anything (image, website, Ctrl+S, print website to file, Ctrl+P, screenshots, same problem) my Firefox tries to "Open" something instead. I see dialog window with header SAVE, but the final button is labeled "Open" and after clicking it usually nothing happens. A haven't been able to save anything since this update. Only system-wide screenshots work for me now.

I had to use another installation in order to attach screenshot here. In the problematic 149.0, after clicking "Browse..." and selecting file, nothing happens, and no upload, moreover button won't respond to clicking anymore. Then I force refresh, and this text within this form disappears, but attached image appears.

3. Yesterday I have updated my Firefox to 149.0, using official debian sources, mozilla-deb - 1.0 -

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/ mozilla main

4. I have Linux Debian, (old version, Stretch+backports, yes, I am moving things already to new hdd), maybe it's related: 4.9.0-19-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.320-2 (2022-06-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux )

In order to fill this form I am using separate installation 140.9.0esr (64-bit), you could warn Debian teams not to propagate this error.

5. I have checked Console and Debugger, but they seem website-related. This error happens on every single website. Tried already troubleshooting mode, same problem. Please help us.

Hello, the official mozilla page instructions for how to download Firefox for Linux (Debian 13) is wrong, it fails on Step 3 saying that the key verification is incorrect thus I have not tried the steps after 3.

I know Debian 13 comes with Firefox ESR but from my research this is packaged and maintained by Debian, I would prefer it if all my eggs were not in one basket and I actually had the real source maintainer updating my browser aka Mozilla.

I don't know what else to say, it is just incorrectly written or something, because Brave Browsers installation instructions are SOO much better and simpler, super easy works 10/10 times, and it's way fewer commands.

Please help, thanks!

I am switching from firefox to firefox-esr. Version 147.0.3 to 140.7.0esr, start firefox with --allow-downgrade which mostly works. What does not is the "Home default" page, it is blank and can not even be configured to what it was because the settings page is also blank, nothing below "choose what content ...".

I have done this on 4 machines now with same failure for the home page. settings. My previous workaround was new profile and import data so the setting page is therein ESR. This is a far harder than it should be there being no single export-import. I had to export import history with a third party plugin and cookies the only method [I found] was to copy the sqlite file. Others like password export-import are fragmented.

I know with the implementation of this new CEO, he plans to add more garbage AI to the browser we've all been using to avoid all the new AI tool crap just to steal our data and sell it to a third-party. I have been a long, dedicated user to Mozilla Firefox since I was in middle school and played games with my friends, I'm an adult now and have never particularly been interested in using Chrome or any of the hundreds of Chromium based browsers. I've always stayed dedicated to Mozilla Firefox because the browser was specifically made to be user friendly and open-source. If you take that away I won't be using Mozilla Firefox anymore, I will just move to the next open source project for a browser.

I can't wait until this AI bubble bursts so we don't have to deal with any of this garbage any longer.

Do you have a set date to when you're going to be implementing this big change so I can have a proper funeral for one of the best browsers to be taken outback and put down into the AI slop this new CEO wants it to be?

"backspace" key

Make it so that when you press the "backspace" key, the browser goes back to the previous page in the history, even if the settings do not allow storing history.

I am so disappointing in the CEO's decision to push AI. Firefox has a very dedicated following BECAUSE it does not push AI and all the other shady things other Browsers push. Everyone I know will stop using Mozilla browsers if they continue on in implementing AI.

I have spent so many hours deleting every sneaky file, disabling every program, having all firewalls block any AI. (I really do need to switch to Linux with the amount of time I spend on this lol...)

How do we contact the higher ups? If large numbers of users emailed/heck even wrote (making a point that we will delete our Mozilla accounts if AI happens) maybe it could help? Or a petition?

Unhappy With New "AI Future" for Firefox

As a stakeholder, I am unhappy with Anthony Enzor-DeMeo's ideas to incorporate more AI into the Firefox browser in the future. Most internet browsers are using AI nowadays, and I think Firefox's lack of AI makes it a very appealing browser for users. This is because new AI technology annoys many people. As other browsers continue to incorperate more and more AI, this will increase Firefox's appeal for users who are annoyed with AI.

Overall, I think Firefox will be a much better browser if it does not incorperate AI. It will mean a lot to me if these concerns are taken into account. Thank you for all that you have done.

Sincerely, Eli Buikema

Jakiś czas temu zauważyłem, że z Historii Ostatnio zamkniętych Kart znikają oglądane strony. Jestem już oburzony na to. Próbowałem wrócić do jakiś kart i nie było ich w historii. Funkcja ma być wycofana. Natychmiast. Jeśli będę chciał pozbyć się jakiejś strony to chcę sam to zrobić. Nie wy będziecie o tym decydować, ale użytkownik. Funkcja ma być wycofana. Natychmiast. Nie mam zamiaru z nikim o tym dyskutować, a tym bardziej z Sztucznym Idiotą.
