Firefox Community Forum

My firefox browser being hack multiple times, so I dident use it for multiples years... Now I just want to give it an other chance by removing everything that could create trouble. When I get over the setting windows I can read this: Information Your browser is being managed by your organisation.

I don't understand, this is my private computer. How to remove this organisation management???

The Vanguard website warns me that my Firefox browser "is no longer supported" and must be updated. when I try to update, the message is "Firefox is being updated by another instance." what does "another instance" mean? how can I update it? fyi I run Windows 11 on my desktop.

Why do numbers appear next to some of my shortcuts on my Firefox shortcuts home page? See attached. I only have one tab or window open and this number (5) has incremented over time.

Here are the dpkg/apt logs for update:

2025-03-19 12:33:16 configure firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 <none> 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status unpacked firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status half-configured firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1 2025-03-19 12:33:16 status installed firefox:amd64 136.0.2~build1

The problem is that when I tried opening gmail in my ubuntu, it is stuck at loading page, but other browsers like edge can open it without any problem (on the same system).

I tried every thing I can in the support forum of gmail/mozilla/others, but it's still stuck at loading.

That's all.

Duck Duck Go search from the address bar suddenly does not work. All queries return a page with the search box and no results. Google search functions correctly. Additionally, the search function on Yahoo Finance no longer functions. Both of these websites and functions work on a mobile version of Firefox connected to the same wifi. At first I had no idea what was causing it but after using troubleshooting mode and turning on extensions one at a time it turns out that metamask was causing the error.

help me restore all tabs if possible, there were more than 200 tabs i need to restore them. i tried to restore them through journal and other profiles but there were empty tabs there too.

Ever since I updated last week, one website that I use will not work. Whenever I try to log in to the M&T Online Banking website, it blocks me and says "M&T Online Banking Is Temporarily Unavailable." The app works on my phone and I can log in through Chrome, it's only on Firefox that I'm getting this problem. I called M&T Bank and they confirmed that it's a problem with Firefox. Something is blocking me but I don't know what it is. I am not using a VPN or adblocker.

I have always had them setup. And I would expect a prompt when my computer had been shut down, or OS/FF had updated - seems normal. As of a couple weeks maybe months ago, I'm being asked for it what feels like constantly. In fact, It just asked me twice back to back withing the same session/tab/interaction with Passwords. That feels like a lot, esp if you actually have longer and more complex pwds than 90% of us. (And me sometimes, not claiming to be a pw angel or anything lol). But personally, Mozz/FF passwords fall into the top tier of my brains security hierarchy, along with my Apple Account, private keys, device encryption, MFA recovery, etc...things you'd generally be sure to incorporate best practices with and really don't wanna forget or lose. I don't really love the idea of turning it off, buuuut getting a bit grumpy about being pestered all day from Firefox.

So bug? Updated policy? I just woke up form a Coma and simply don't recall 2024? Hopefully not the third one.

On an M4 Max running Sequoia Version 15.2 (24C101) using FIrefox 136.0.1 at the moment, but have noticed the same on a Yoga/Windows 11, iPhone, M1 Macbook Pro.

Privacy/Security is set to Strict. No sus permissions I can see. HTTPS only. DNS over Cloudflare (Default Protection). No exceptions of any type granted. Aside from Mozilla (for Extensions), and Google (for Popups).

Thanks yall.

Oh (and I should prob open a proper ticket but while) but I'm here, and I just noticed the line about "On macOS, some background tabs will be moved to lower power cores, reducing energy usage." from a recent Firefox update brief. I've been having a rough time lately on this M4 Max - 16 cores, 64GB mem with tabs freezing up the whole browser, every window. Sometimes the whole OS. Not specific to any certain site, and has happened with 1 windows and 3 tabs open just as often as 4 windows with 40 tabs open. And usually I cant even get to Activity Monitor at that point to see if it looks like a memory leak, or whatever. And if I can get it to shut down (the browser), it will get into this loop where it just loads back up all the same windows, and that same particular tab will lockup again as soon as I click on it. And it takes foreevvvver to load back up even when I don't interact with the browser aside from CMD-Tabbing tf out of there. Tbh I'd prefer FF to launch clean after being told to shut down. Always have the option to load recent windows anyway....

^ aaand then saw the blatantly obvious checkbox to turn off reload on start my bad. 😅

Sorry last thing - what exactly does "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." mean? Yeah that sounds straightforward, and I would expect that from most websites? I think? I know you want to be transparent, but that phrasing sounds weirdly aggressive lol

I'm having problems connecting to a server. I know it is a valid address because I can get it on other computers but it is now block on my computer. Is this a firewall problem and if so how do I fix it. the server address is" click.coverkit-mail2.com". How do I fix this?

Constantly getting the following messages - "Not Responding." "This application is not responding. The program may respond if you wait. Do you want to end this process?" I am on my email or reading an article on my email and it goes blank. Also, I get "Restore session or start new session." The only way I can get to start my computer ( getting the password box ) is if I do Control Alt Delete many times.

Very Frustrating indeed!

I've had to reinstall Firefox because of several viruses. I have a password and an account recovery key. How do I restore my Firefox account, bookmarks, and passwords?

My computer displays were dramatically different one morning a couple of days ago, as MS Edge seems to have overtaken control of my system, which included changing the displays on my monitors. I have restored the system to a few days ago when the system was correct, but the restore resulted in the same Edge displays. With considerable effort to overcome Edge, I have also made Firefox my default browser. After resetting and restarting, my One Note pages are still no longer available and my displays have not changed from the Edge-changed ones. Any additional ideas? Please?

New update to Zen browser this morning, indicated that Roboform extension needed to be updated. Uninstalled,re-installed Roboform extension. Zen browser does not seem to use the the extension - no offer to fill passwords, etc.

Can I revert to previous version of the browser?
