Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.

I teach an online Adobe Illustrator Course. Students upload (.ai) Adobe Illustrator files. Not .svg or .pdf. But Firefox changes the (.ai) extension to (.pdf) upon downloading. This is HIGHLY irritating. Firefox, in prior versions, did not do this. In Firefox settings for Applications, there isn't a choice for .ai (Adobe Illustrator) files. I 'assume' that when AI (artificial intelligence) became available is when Firefox began automatically changing (.ai) files to (.pdf). PLEASE SOLVE this as I have to manually change the (.pdf) extension BACK to (.ai) HUNDREDS of times a day.

When backing up bookmarks to HTML - HTML Back-Up does not include the TOOLBAR Bookmarks. Please advise how to include the toolbar bookmarks in HTML format. Thank you.

I have an issue where Confluence stops working after a while.

The issues are as follows:

• Opening a link will work and show the page.
• After about 5 seconds, the page will turn black.
• Using the search bar does not work, no results show.
• Trying to expand items in the sidebar does not work.
• Clicking on a link in the sidebar does work, but it too will turn black after the same 5 second delay.
• You can't edit pages.

I have found two ways to temporarily fix the issue.

• Clear the cookies for Atlassian.net.
• Go into the inspector, switch to the Network tab, tick "Disable Cache" and reload the page.

Unfortunately, this only fixes it for a week or two until it comes back.

This is not specific to any one Confluence instance. Once one stops loading, all (that we have tried) stop loading.

some items are large, some items are TINY. I have tried resetting my display setting scale, but the url bar, the menu where are my open tabs, the bookmarks toolbar, and some other things re TINY.

This feature/option is not working. I close with multiple tabs open, and restart and only the generic search/home page is there. It is tedious to have to reopen if many tabs have been used.

My local network is 10.10.10.x and I can't log into my NAS, web server or another computer on the local network... Internet access is fine. Happens on Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

If I access the same web address using Safari or Chrome it works just fine and it used to work before the software update to the 147 build.

So what switch/setting got kicked over during the upgrade that I have to turn off?

These kind of issues really make me mad at the Firefox Dev team... and I'm a very long time user.

Hi,

I just updated to the latest version of Mozilla FireFox and my bookmarks dissappeard.

All are gone, I wonder how I can get them back?

Many thanks,

Firefox continues to freeze up even after many FF updates. I am running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Firefox freezes for no apparent reason. I am lucky if I can just close the browser. But often times I must do a hard shutdown of my laptop. Since the problem first appeared about six (?) months ago there have been a number of Firefox updates, but this problem continues. When will it be fixed finally?

I on MacOS and I'm facing this issue last half of the year. As usual mac book user, I have many WIP items on my laptop, so I don't reload my laptop every day, even months it can leave without reloading.

So, after a workday I just closing it and come back tomorrow. When I back to the work and want to open new tab: Jira, Gmail, LinkedIn any other tabs - FireFox just keeping in loading state. In comparison, the Google Chrome that opened as well all the time but with fewer tabs, open the same links in seconds.

I though the FireFox is not latest version, and updating or re-starting of it, sometimes helped me to fix the issue. But now it seems stopped work either.

So, after a 5 years on FireFox I'm seriously started about my migration back to Google Chrome. I'm not sure that you can help me in this forum, but at least I would like to hear you option. Maybe anyone else have seen such behavior also and FireFox could find the issue

I don't know how to get to my prior question to update it I submitted a support question a short time ago about Firefox manage bookmarks using Waterfox version. I now think I could have been duped by the colour of the window bar. I have also found that firefox manage bookmarks does not show individual bookmarks that are not in folders - in the left pane. This also threw me. However, when I click on Bookmarks menu in left pane, the individual bookmarks are all shown in the RHS pane. I have done a quick check and the list does not contain at least two bookmark folders that are in my Waterfox bookmarks - I did not try to check all. I now think there is no problem. Interested whether anyone else has raised this. MY SUGGESTION - in the past I am confident that manage bookmarks function did not use waterfox color. In the next update try to change the manage bookmarks function window to a color different to Waterfox colors. This may not be possible if waterfox simply inherits the manage bookmarks function code incl colors.

Prior question text pasted here for completeness Yesterday I was using both Firefox and Waterfox. Since then when I try to use manage bookmarks in Firefox - I get the waterfox version of manage bookmarks showing the waterfox bookmarks list. Is there a way to get the firefox manage books back again

I have updated my firefox on W11 laptop to the latest version 147.0.3 (64-bit) but it cannot show any pictures from some, but not all, sites. Not from www.svt.se nor from www.yr.no But its ok from other sites, as www.tradera.com and www.kjell.com

It works fine using android firefox version 147.0.3

Any ideas, anyone?

Right, it's bit hard to explain this but I'll try. I often right click on text to search google for it, but also just google stuff regularly. What happens is, after the new tab opening and I move to different tab from that google search, it forces me back to that tab. It usually happens right after opening that tab and just waiting few seconds and then switching tabs will "fix" it but it also randomly switches me to open google search from before after minutes have passed for no reason. This started happening few months ago but as I've been using less and less of my pc it hasn't been TOO much of an issue, but as I am starting to use it more again it is driving me insane. I can try to video it, I tried searching but couldn't find same behavior mentioned anywhere. Not sure what I can try to fix this.

tldr: moving from new google search tab changes tabs on itself and forces google search one to be focused, usually right after opening but sometimes after some time has passed too.

Obwohl in den Einstellung automatische Wiederherstellung alter Tabs eingestellt war, wurde dies nicht durchgeführt. Da ich es zu spät gemerkt hatte, konnte ich nicht über die Chronik die alte Sitzung wiederherstellen. Was kann ich jetzt machen?

After updating to Firefox 147.0.3 all of my browser history (along with open tabs at the time of updating) is lost. I just updated to Windows 11 workstations (plus a couple of older Windows 10 workstations) to the current (Feb 2026) updates too. However the history data was lost before the Windows updates. I noticed that with the previous update of Firefox that saved login information was also lost. Who is doing your program updates, a chimp?

In the past when an update was done the browser would open back up with all of the previous versions session tabs in tact. But not now.

I've lost several tabs of research that was being done. Based on what has been happening, I will HAVE to change to some other browser. This is a shame as I've been a loyal Firefox user since day one. Good bye Mozilla and Firefox.

Whenever i go on my yahoo mail I get a security alert that says: we have prevented your access to cowhuntforenenst.com I have run my anti virus and malwarebites thinking it may be a virus but it didn't come up as one. And it's only happening on firefox not other browsers. Is there a way to fix this?

When I try to exit the fire fox browser I delete all cookies then select exit and close it out. However when start my computer the next time I get a message that fire fox is already running and if I hit the cancel button it freezes the screen and I have no options to move on. So how should you do a normal shutdown off the browser?
