In the latest version 137, I've detected an error when uploading/attaching any file to a website. The error occurs when browsing files on the computer. When you click on a folder that's a shortcut, Firefox attaches it as a .lnk. Double clicking on the folder doesn't work To fix this, I have to right-click and open it. That way, I can navigate to the files in the folder.

Where is the Firefox apt repository for Debian .deb packaged releases? The article's link is broken.

In the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended

https://packages.mozilla.org/apt leads to 404, not a Debian software repository / archive.

Step 4 (is broken)

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

My search history has disappeared. View/history shows a blank page. If I select "history" from the menu, "recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" are grayed out, and "recent history" is empty. But I've been to a dozen or more sites today. What can I do to make Firefox record my history?

As of a few days ago (potentially coinciding with the most recent update?) I've had several websites become varying degrees of unresponsive when using Firefox while being connected to a VPN (Nord, in this case).

Some sites will load but then get throttled--i.e. YouTube will load and (usually) populate thumbnails, but clicking on a video will result in the video instantly dropping to its lowest available resolution, playing for a few seconds, and then stalling. Interestingly(?) if I try to watch a live stream, chat will be fully functional but the video will be unable to load. Other sites will load but then very quickly stop responding at all. Others are straight up just not loading period, while many others have no issues at all.

I've cleared my cache, deleted cookies for the affected sites, tried Firefox in a private window, tried Firefox with no extensions, and reinstalled both Nord and Firefox to no avail. All of the affected sites are fully functional so long as I'm not connected to a VPN, and are also fully functional on other browsers, even while connected to a VPN. All other non-browser related applications that require the internet are also unaffected, and my internet speeds in general aren't showing any issues.

I've been unable to find any other chatter about this anywhere, and I unfortunately don't have any other devices available to try and replicate the issues. I would not be surprised if it was one of those wonderful Me Exclusive DNS issues or something, but figured it was worth throwing out there.

My COPY context menu item is greyed out randomly. I guess it's not an issue of websites preventing copying. Happens while visiting various websites.

There's an advice to refresh Firefox, but I want to keep my passwords and avoid setting bookmarks again or resetting UI items displacement, any advice? Bugzilla threads contain some fixes, but as I have up-to-date version of Firefox, the bug is still randomly present.

I am running Fedora 41 with firefox version 135.0.0-1.fc41

I have two linux accounts on my desktop tower computer, my account with gnome desktop and my wife's account with cinnamon desktop.

My wife has a bookmarks file in json format. It was created by her on her laptop. I checked that the json is valid with a json validator. She can not restore her bookmarks with this json file. She uses the "Import and Backup" command, then gets the mesage "This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the back. Are you sure?" After clicking OK, nothing happens - the bookmarks are not restored and there is no error message.

Otherwise, both accounts have no problems of any sort.

Please help.

Thank you, Joe
