Firefox Community Forum

Firefox tries to install helper each time I try to open Firefox. It seems to install and then repeats each time I try to open the software. If I cancel it will not open either.

A file called 'Pending Pings' appeared within the folder in which my Firefox installation is located. I last used Firefox on May 14, 2025. I don't know how it appeared as I disabled automatic updates and made it so it would ask me if I wanted an update, so I do not know why it is.

After updating to 138.0.4 I no longer have "Recently Closed Tabs" after clearing History. Is there a way to fix this? Can I download a previous version? If so, how?

I have not used firefox in a while but am over google for good now, regardless i cant tell if this is a legits version missing a refresh page has a lock and admin badge in its place the tabs have no visible seperatiionvery odd but was wondering if there is a way to update searched and could not figure it out went thru setting might have missed it but honest should not be this hard.

THUS IDEA What if a hidden URI info bar inivisible to the averagage bear.... So its never been done but what if MOZILLA done it.

FOR A BONUS on left side of bar in url area top common Local host shortcuts say localhost:3001 or just as :3001 :3002 :3003 or even better just the ones it knows are running so its liek no local host detected running or :3002 and :4003 with click options to auto url .... BUt wait theirs MORE dont was the MIDDLE middle router. no not that kind Middle of uRL is a router icon X over it no router detect router icon Clickable. But GIVE YA A GUESS WHAT THIS FUTURISTIC gadget doies Goes to you local router page WOW did I just solve 3 of the BIGGES smallest laziest issues of mankind meh nah but its a start.

Or else. I go back to google. Anyways thanks I already made it but thought you would like to know as it should be on all, no code for you its not rocket science... hmm rockets. GTG just got an idea. Good Luck id refresh but how. Must be lazy....

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.

How should I fix the frozen browser. Firefox updated ok from another user account on this computer, though Firefox has always updated for all accounts on the computer when updated from any of the accounts. The installer tool got caught in a loop to install until it froze the browser on the third retry. What should I do?

Hi Just setting up a new Surface Pro/Windows 11 and installed Firefox from Mozilla page. Firefox install completed with a crash report and has never actually run since. Every time I launch I get the app crash window. I've tried running in troubleshooting mode but same app crash. I also note that the crash reports do not get uploaded.

I have uninstalled/re-installed and also tried a fresh install but always the same issue. I also downlaoded the full installer.

Thanks for your help

I have notice for some time the Firefox start have updates almost daily it is not too bad whats that bug me is the matter the updates only start show up the information the availability after you log in any account or web site , never in your Firefox Home. you can stay 1 hour with Firefox open with home screen and no alert of updated show 10 second after you login in on email account or enter in any web site the pop up the availability updated what start became annoying .

Thank you .

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!
