I'm not able to uninstall PWA apps created in Firefox 143.0.1 using Windows 11 usual uninstalling procedure. If i click "uninstall" in Windows Start Menu the app remains installed. PWA apps created with Firefox do not show on Windows 11 installed apps list so I cannot uninstall them. I haven't found any guide on the web on how to uninstall PWA created from Firefox. So, how can I effectively uninstall those PWA apps? Thank you in advance for your kind answer. Regards.

After an update of both macOS (to macOS Sequoia 15.0.1) and Firefox Developer Edition (to 132.0b3 (aarch64)), the Bookmarks Toolbar stopped working. The same issue appeared on my Windows PC.

Bookmarks toolbar is visible, I can show and hide it but it does not display any of my saved bookmarks. Luckily, they were not deleted and I still can access them via Bookmarks Menu, which is less than optimal.

The Drag&Drop functionality does not work either. When I grab the opened Tab, drag it on the Toolbar and release it, the Tab gets opened in the new browser window and it's not saved.

I'm having trouble installing Norton Password Manager, I keep getting a corrupt file, won't install, so I am running through the checklist of possible fixes.

The one I am up to is this :-

Refresh Firefox Click the menu button (≡). Select Help, then choose More troubleshooting information. Click the Refresh Firefox… button on the right side of the page. In the confirmation window that appears, click Refresh Firefox. Firefox will close and restart. When it finishes, a window will show the data that was imported. Click Finish. Choose whether to restore your previous windows and tabs, then click Let’s go!.

I cannot find the "Refresh"

I've run Troubleshoot Mode

I have cleared the startup cache, problem not fixed.

I am trying to verify specifically which versions of Firefox are vulnerable to CVE-2024-8387.

I know that typically mozilla does not put a low bound on advisories, and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-40/ is the advisory for vulnerabilities fixed in ESR 128.2. CVE-2024-8387 is listed here. yet the advisory for 115, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-41/ does not list this vulnerability. Was this something that was only impacting 128 (for the ESR builds) or is there a mistake that either 115.15 did patch it but it wasn't documented, or the patch has been missed and ESR 115 is still vulnerable?

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Hallo und guten Tag, auf meinem Desktop habe ich seit einigen Tagen einen neuen Ordner mit der Bezeichnung - Alte Firefox-Daten - . Ich kann den Ordner leider nicht löschen. Alle Versuche sind bisher gescheitert.

Habe Mozilla Firefox schon 2-mal deinstalliert etc. Der besagte Ordner lässt sich trotzdem nicht löschen.

Angeblich wegen fehlender Berechtigung. Was kann ich machen?

Once again, when I updated Firefox, it changed a LOT of my settings, including displaying the toolbar and open tabs bar.

When this happened last - months ago - it seems Mozilla realized this had happened to a lot of users, and managed to restore us to all the information that had been "lost".

I hope you can do that again, and can find a way to not put at least ME, and I'd bet a lot of other users, through the OMG!!! What do I do NOW?! panic.

Happy Holidays.

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.

i was using firefox with multiple tabs for most of today, had to shut pc down to run errands. When i restarted pc, firefox would not start, i have it pinned on my task bar/start menu/whatever. I opened my system moniter to see what was going on when i tried to start firefox and the processes do not show up in the process list. I tried a reinstall with the ubuntu software store and no noticeable change in behavior. Not sure how to get into the profile section, the option for it with a right click on the firefox icon does nothing seemingly. Under normal operations i have seen two firefox processes listed.

Firefox updated to 113.0 and moved tabs to top, above the address bar and the bookmark toolbar is now on the bottom under the address bar ... Is there an updated CSS file I can copy that will restore bookmarks toolbar above the address bar and the tabs below the address bar? So the order would be: Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, Address Bar, then Tabs Bar? This really is hard to work with. Thanks!

Hi ! I'm a long term user of the "Firefox" browser. My Firefox User Nº is : 14634487 I'm also an existing long term user of both "NordVPN" and "NordPass".

When logging in to "Nordpass" this morning on my (new) MacBook Pro, I received a message in the App window stating that they were "ending support for my extension on 30th of September" and inviting me to "get the latest extension to continue using NordPass in a browser"

So, I bought a 2 year subscription for the extension 'NordPass Premium for Firefox'. Nordpass has acknowledged this by email: Quote : "Thank you for your purchase Here are the details of your order. Item  : NordPass: 2-year subscription Price : £29.43/2 years VAT 20% - £5.89 Total: £35.32/2 years"

In a 'Welcome' email sent by NordPass, I clicked on "Download NordPass which opened a Firefox 'Add-Ons' web-page for downloading the app named "NordPass Password Manager and Digital Vault" - but the only functioning button was 'REMOVE' ! I tried to 'Log In' at the top right corner of the page but I then became stuck in a continuous loop of picture identifications to prove I was not a robot ! It just went on and on ! I abandoned it for a while and, when I returned, the 'Robot check was gone but all my attempts to get the extension have failed ! I can't for the life of me find ANY means of downloading and installing the extension I've PAID FOR !

Whether this is all owing to a fault on the "NordPass" side or in the "Firefox" browser side is a mystery to me. Either way, I'm sending this message to BOTH.

I've now given up trying to do it unaided. PLEASE, could someone advise me how I can get my extension !! If this isn't resolved quickly, I'll seek to have a refund of my £35.32 and will have seriously to consider leaving both "NordVPN" and "NordPass" and/or defecting from "Firefox" to the "Safari" browser.

I'm waiting eagerly to get this sorted. Regards, Ivor Mitackis
