Would it be possible to code in an F-key that would automatically send a URL to Chrome in the case where you attempt to view a page or video in Firefox and it hangs or just does nothing? Then with one key we could just be taken to Chrome where the page would work correctly! That would be just awesome! Firefox has really gone down the tubes as far as reliability is concerned. I only use it because I prefer the layout but when it fails (every day multiple times) Chrome is the solution and it always works. Why is this? Can't the FF folks write a decent package that works?

I use Firefox on my Mac. I visited a site yesterday that provided some who.is information. When I returned to the site today, the who.is information has been changed. I need to find the cached page from yesterday (if it still exists) to get the data BEFORE it was changed.

How can I do this?

About to abandon Firefox bc Google Drive no longer works - last call for help

Hi, I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (running Sequoia 15.6.1) to the Firefox desktop app 143.0.1 (aarch64). Google Drive, which is my company's file-sharing and collab platform, no longer allows me to open and edit documents unless I clear my cache on a daily basis, which is not a sustainable workflow. I either get stuck on "loading" (see screenshot) or the file opens but I cannot edit it. I've also turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection (see screenshot).

I love the Firefox browser and hate to leave it but I'm at my wits' end. Hoping someone can help - thanks!

Request for Clarification on Firefox Saved Logins and Account Syncing

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support,

I am seeking clarification and assistance regarding saved login details that appear in my Firefox browser, both on my laptop.

The situation is as follows:

At some point in the past, I mus thave attempted to access the Plenty of Fish (POF) dating site via the app on my iPhone. Alhtough not presently active, my iCloud account shows a history of the app being downloaded, and stored in the cloud.

I do not recall ever completing an account setup or using the service, but when I check Firefox on my laptop, I can see a username and password saved under Privacy & Security settings for POF.

I am trying to understand whether these saved credentials could have been synced between my iPhone and my laptop at the time of the attempted registration, meaning that they were stored automatically even if I did not intentionally log in on my laptop.

My specific questions are:

Do the Firefox saved logins on my laptop and my iPhone interlink automatically if Firefox Sync is enabled? (i.e., would login data entered on my phone app/browser be stored in the Firefox passwords list on my laptop?)

Is it possible to determine whether the saved username/password for POF was stored via the iPhone app/browser rather than being typed directly on the laptop?

I belive that if login attempts fail due to a non-existent or corrupted username/password, Firefox still store the login attempt details (username and password) even if the login itself did not succeed, can you confirm this? Is there a way of telling which it was failed/sucessful

This is a sensitive and personal matter, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and any clarification on how Firefox may have stored or synced these details.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards, A

Very Slow Firefox Start-up with Missing Bookmarks Due to Other Use

From Windows 11 start Firefox v 142.0.1 opens with an entirely blank page - toolbars, graphics, webpage - everything taking over a minute to load up with toolbars and then a further 2 minutes to load www.theguardian.com/uk. Firefox then frequently crashes and on re-start the bookmarks toolbar is empty - yes it is visible. I have been renaming places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old every few days since 27 Aug. The Manage Bookmarks - Library shows all bookmarks when Firefox is behaving but is completely empty when the bookmark toolbar is also empty. Restarting Firefox does not reinstall the bookmarks. The only solution is to restart Windows 11. Any ideas on speeding up and preventing this bookmark problem. Thanks

On Firefox, I can't use a chatbot because it says Speech recognition is not supported in this browser. This is my own new website that has a chatbot in it to help people out. I'm trying to test it. It works fine on Chrome and Safari but not on Firefox? Why? I have an IMac computer and my software and operating systems are up to date. Firefox is currently my default browser, but that may have to change, if this can't be corrected. Thanks!
