Out of the blue, I can no longer download files using the download arrow. I used to get the prompt asking where to download the files but now don't get anything. I'll get a zip.part file on my desktop, where I have my downloads saved, but that's it. I've updated Firefox, restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled and nothing works.

I have followed the steps in the "Prevent Firefox from starting automatically" article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-starts-automatically-when-i-restart-window

But Firefox keeps starting automatically when I restart my computer. Attached is an image of how the settings are now.

What should I do? This is a bit annoying. I don't use Firefox as my main browser but I work as a customer success manager for an online platform and always need to do some tests on Firefox, but I don't want it to start automatically when I turn on my computer.

I'll for instructions.

Thank you

Hey!

For over a year some webpages show up blank in my Firefox browser. They all work fine in Inkognito/private windows.

I have tried emptying cache etc. Running Ventura 13.6.

One page recently stopped working and show: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

www.pinterest.com is completely white.

Facebook.com shows up fine but does not work properly.

Any instructions on exactly what to do?

ServiceWorker won't register and crash with TypeError when using import

Hello all,

I'm building a website which uses a `ServiceWorker`. This worker uses `import` to load another JS module. As far as I understand, this should be possible starting Firefox 114 (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#browser_compatibility). However, it's crashing with an `TypeError: ServiceWorker script at https://localhost:9292/sw.js for scope https://localhost:9292/ threw an exception during script evaluation`. The worker script is loaded as module using `navigator.serviceWorker.register('./sw.js', { type: "module" })`, and working on Safari and Chrome as expected. When I remove the `import`, the worker loads and works. Tested on Firefox 118, 119, 120.

Here is a full sample: https://gist.github.com/fnordfish/9b38b90fba54093ee601887a3bd3e11e

I can't find any related bug in Bugzilla or anywhere else. Which makes me wonder what I am missing.

PS: Non module `importScripts` work.

Windows appear in Window menu but are otherwise invisible (Mac)

I have the same issue that was reported here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1358340 and here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1409149

After a Firefox restart for a version upgrade, there are 8 windows listed in the Windows menu, but only 4 are visible. Trying to select one of the invisible windows from the window menu, or cycling through open windows with cmd-` displays nothing. I tried checking other desktops to see if the windows had landed there, but they're not. The missing windows don't show up in Mission Control.

I also tried exiting FIrefox, deleting the xulstore.json file, and restarting. This had no effect.

I'm on a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro Firefox 117.0.1 Mac OS 13.5.2 (22G91)

Any ideas? This is a weird one.

Thanks!

Although I have disabled all relevant "sync" settings in Firefox, the browser is still syncing tabs across my MacBookAir and my iMac.

To make matters worse, tabs in Chrome and Safari sync to Firefox tabs across devices as well. The sync occurs in both directions.

I am not logged into Chrome or my gmail account.

Specs: MacBookAir: early 2015/ OS v. 12.7 (Monterey) iMac: Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017 / OS 12.6.8 (Monterey)

Things I've tried:

  • Turning off syncing in Firefox on both devices.
  • Signing out of Firefox from both devices.
  • Disabling "sync open tabs" via Firefox preferences
  • Renaming devices from within Firefox Sync. (The name always reverts to the previous one.)
  • Reinstalling Firefox
  • Deleting cache from both Firefox and Chrome.
  • Restarting

Images are from toolbar on iMac when Firefox is open on both computers. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Firefox on MacOS won't load Google sites after waking machine up

I've been having this issue for several months now. It seems my Firefox on MacOS (Both Monterey and Ventura Intel) can't load any Google sites (google.com, gmail, google meet, etc) after I put the computer to sleep and wake it up again. Only gets fixed after quitting and relaunching firefox.

I've recreated this issue while in "Troubleshooting Mode" with all my addon's disabled, so it is not related to an addon.

This issue might be also happening after some amount of time idle as well, but I've only been able to recreate it by putting the machine to sleep and waking it up the next day.

Is there a way to fix this? or is there a way to get more debug info to help diagnose?

Today, randomly, duck duck go no longer works natively with Firefox. If I set DDG as my default search, and try to search using the search bar or use one of the shortcuts like "@ddg" I get an error "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." I have tried closing, clearing cache, clearing history, and nothing seems to reset it. I can still go through Google, search for duck duck go, and use it that way, but it seems that the native search is now broken.
