This afternoon, I was browsing and archiving many of my saves, and I frequently received the message that "Something went wrong retrieving your Saves". I have not had this problem before. There's about 6800 articles in my Pocket presently. Am I reaching some kind of limit for maximum articles I can save?

I have already converted my account to login using Mozilla (summer 2023) and I've been using the firefox browser this afternoon.

Would appreciate any insight you could share. Thanks very much.

Hello !

I love the color themes available in Firefox and have been using one consistently. However, since the recent update, my selected color theme no longer stays applied after I close or restart my laptop. Each time I reopen Firefox, I need to manually reapply it from my saved themes. This wasn’t an issue before the update, so I wanted to reach out in case it’s a bug.

Thank you for your attention to this!

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

I'm not getting audio playin in Firefox, and I can confirm audio plays okay in Chrome all okay. Have tried the following:..

(1) Checked the Firefox privacy settings for audio .. Nothing being blocked (2) Checked Windows mixer settings .. Nothing being blocked (3) Cleared browser cache in Firefox .. No changes (4) Undertook Firefox refresh .. No changes (5) Reinstalled audio drivers .. No changes (6) Downloaded Firefox Developers edition .. Audio does work

So my conclusion is that there is a problem with normal edition of Firefox with playing audio ?

What wrong here and how do I get it fixed please ?

For years I've used the same email and password to login to Firefox sync. However I discovered in recent weeks my login details are no longer recognised., so am not able to import all my bookmarks and online passwords onto a re-installed operating system. My stored passwords on another system visibly shows the same login details I have always used. This has not happened before, and I did not change my login details, so I am at a loss what has gone wrong.

Any suggestions as to how I can login to syncing.

I have version 105 and version 132 now installed on my computer. What is the best way going forward? I had 375 tabs open and of course designed my way. Besides saved passwords I have a couple gigs of cookies. Some pinned tabs etc. Should I just start over with version 132 and struggle through it for a few weeks? It used to update automatically but for some reason it did not these last few months and 105 didn't even have an option to update. Thanks for any suggestions.

wtf is going on with you guys. I have automatic updates turned on, and yet FF is demanding to check (literally 5 minutes after the update) to see if a new update is needed. If you guys can't control your updaters, then perhaps I will switch to google chrome.

you have to realize that this issue is causing you to lose 100% of your loyal fans in lieu of a different browser. I'm halfway out the door already. Either fix the issues, or I'm gone.

Hi,

Since my Firefox updated today (v132.0), sometimes when I swap tabs I get this grey bar appear for a split second at the bottom of the tab. This isn't super consistent, and seems to only happen when swapping from the New Tab page to some websites, such as Twitter and my email, but not others. I've tried disabling extensions to no avail.

Any ideas on the cause of this/how to fix?

Thank you very much for reading

Firefox updated from 131 to 132 and deleted all bookmarks, history and emptied the bookmarkbackups folder. It displays a message that a Firefox file is open by another application and that some security software can cause this problem. According to Task Manager there are no other applications running, nor is security software running. (I turned off Windows Defender and rebooted.) The problem persists. If I can't recover the 80 or so complex bookmarks, I'll have to try MS Edge browser. I'm sure that months of history is not recoverable and is lost forever.

Was this software quality tested prior to distribution? If so, it wasn't very thorough.

Why does Firefox delete files and folders during an update? It would be better to make a backup copies prior to unleashing a destructive update on unsuspecting users.

Before you ask, no I don't create full backups because a) my laptop is used 12 x 7 weekly, b) a 4TB SSD full backup takes days, not hours depending on the destination and c) a 4TB SSD differential backup takes more than a day. I've tried both and they are not practical.
