Firefox Community Forum

apparently, programmers don't understand how aggravating not having backward compatibility is to the rest of us, so please bear with my extreme aggravation here. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, QUIT FIXING IT.

 firefox disabled my addons, thus forcing me to upgrade, and now I am angry. Tried downloading the new version several times. My os is as updated as it can get. Using the APT link from this site, it just shows garbage. Using the download for linux 64 bit link, it makes me jump through hoops and looks like it is working, but it looks different and none of my bookmarks transferred over. Closing it down and reopening it, I see the old version, thus making it look like I am possibly running both versions separately. Once the *all new singing and dancing special that is supposedly so much better than the old that some ignoramus decided I MUST use it instead of the old and functional one* is closed out, I see no way to reopen it. And neither version will enable or allow me to download singlefile. That is the only program I need from firefox at this time.
 Will somebody please show me, step by step, as if I am 5 years old, a back door that will enable my addons, before I go nuts and start beating programmers to death with reams of algorithms?

Suddenly Firefox will not connect to websites,Elders weather,message states security risk.You have been connecting me for years.Herald Sun you will not allow me to log in.All this suddenly started after last update.Not a problem with other browsers.

I recently purchased an IMAC 2024 M4 running Sequoia OS computer and migrated my files from my old IMAC. I have been using Firefox for over 15 years without at problem. Now I cannot open often visited sites like my bank, American Riviera Bank, Craigslist and others. I just get a blank white screen when attempting to access the website. The same ones are fine on Chrome. What has happened here and how do I correct this - Its really making me crazy. Thank you, Richard Houser

Have tried suggestions from other strings. Will not open in any mode on my Mac mini so cannot even uninstall. Continue to get message that It is trying to install a new helper tool but will not install or open. Restart did not work, shut down and restart did not work, “safe mode” with shift key or option key does not work.

Hello, when browsing gallery sites, well, i actually only have one in mind (NSFW https://hitomi.la), each time i move to the next picture previous, picture disappears then there is site background, but only for a moment, then the next picture appears, thus creating flickering effect. Its different from slow loading. It only happens on next unloaded picture, meaning, that if i move back and forth between already loaded pictures then everything is fine. Other browsers, Edge and Chrome, doesn't have that problem, they load pictures seamlessly.

I was wondering if i can do something in about:config, but i have no idea what to change. I also tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it made it even worse.

you want to make firefox Great again and not a pile of miss place cluttered garbage like it is now this is what need to be done so at least some people can have a beautiful browser just they way they want it ....

delete !!!!! reader icon, the star icon, the double arrow icon from top right hand corner of my browser ..

THEN put EXTENSIONS ICON in HAMBURGER MENU where it should be PUZZEL ICON in HAMBURGER MENU also put CUSTIMIZE TOOL BAR icon IN HAMBURGER MENU TOO ... that give a clean start for ........?

                                                        HERE IS WHERE IT MAKES THINGS GREAT ! 
                                                       everything happens from hamburger menu
                                                         so everyone starts with a clean browser !

just put all your little icons in customized tool bar icon (that will be in the HAMBURGER ICON ) and then give us the power to put what we want.. where we want them to be ...... if you dont want any icons they stay in customized tool bar menu never to be seen again instead of automatically putting it somewhere that will piss someone off ( fucking great idea right ? )... but i think the better option too permanently remove any icon i want from CUSTOMIZED TOOL BAR ICON menu would be better but i know people cant decide on there own so make a extension that if someone wants to delete a icon/function from customized tool bar menu we could get that extension and remove things our self's with a click or 2 , that would make the tool bar fully customizable no more automactilly putting new thing on tool bar and pissing people off just put a notice saying new options have been added to customized tool bar icon/menu in hamburger menu and they can move it to toll bar and use it if they like that option and other people dont have to waste time trying to figure out how to remove it and waste there valuable time ...... and everybody would be happy and firefox would be hands down the best browser period in my book and im sure many other people would be so happy !!!! ...

                                                          this next part in most important ......

   then do not touch the drop down menu at the top left hand side of the browser do not remove or add anything too that menu ever its perfect !!!!

Unable to use paypal on Firefox (136.0) for a couple days. Worked fine previously for years. Click on paypal payment link at multiple websites produces a window with spinning circle which eventually disappears. No transaction is recorded. I've checked with paypal, no issues with account and no record of failed transactions. I've deleted the history cache for paypal. Still doesn't work. Paypal does work with Chrome at same websites.

How to stop stuck on verify you are human

stuck on verify you are humanbold text'

I will stop using Firefox.

It is the end for me with Firefox, reason Sync and Bookmarks.

No matter what I do, every time I delete a bookmark, it instantly pops up back, duplicate bookmarks everywhere, delete them and they magically pop up again.

I researched the internet for months with no solution, I tried every solution that showed up in search results, nothing resolved the issue.

I even disabled sync, and yet the deleted bookmarks pop up again, I deleted ALL my bookmarks and like magic they are back.

So, after so many years I decided to find another browser that will not give me that much headache...

Recently switched from Chrome to FF on macOS. Running latest Sequoia 15.3.2, Firefox 136.0.2 (aarch64) on a Macbook Air M4.

Problem: When watching a video eg YouTube but including other HTML video, on Firefox where macOS is globally muted and scrubbing through the timeline using the arrow keys, or starting a video mid-way, the audio briefly cuts in (less than a second) and quickly mutes again. I was surprised by this as I expected with macOS globally muted, no application would be able to make any sound.

This behaviour is limited to Firefox and persists with all extensions disabled. macOS is stock with Sound output set to the built-in Macbook Air speakers. No other sound drivers e.g. Soundsource or a USB audio interface have been installed. The laptop itself is brand new and stock.

Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
