Hi, firefox deleted my history after an update. The only browsing history i have left is yesterday and today since after the update. My bookmarks and the session i was in were still there.

I only have one profile. i dont have a index.dat file unter C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. Any data recovery tools cannot find one either. about:cache only shows me the history after the update.

I dont know what to do and now i've lost my history of the last about 8 years. Does anyone have an idea?

how many times do I have to say YES to the update question that constantly appears each time I access another page? I said YES the first time. It is driving me NUTS and interrupting my work

Updated windows 8Apr, now cannot access firefox tabs. Suggested it is due to family options,, but cannot access these in windows settings, nor can i uninstall the update. Help pl!

The title says it all. How do I know my crashed Dell Latitude 5500 (NOT E5500) , 512GB M2 NVME, 32GB DDR4 2400 RAM, W11 Pro x64 is now truly healed and with no glitches due to Firefox 137.0 x64 conflicting with Spectrum Security Suite (most current version by F-Secure {TOTAL} as of 03-31-2025) and thereby crashing the entire computer. I have recovered 90whatever percent functionality to the computer, but cannot take the chance of re-installing Security Suite if there is an unresolved conflict not yet addressed and corrected. I've seen the Mozilla Connection entry about another crash similar to mine involving a different Antimalware APP. And I have seen the posting about the fix applied to correct the same type issues with a Chinese provided Antimalware APP. Has ANYONE addressed Firefox 137.0 induced conflicts with other security APPS like my Spectrum Security Suite? I cannot re-install Security Suite until or IF the conflicts that crashed my Dell 5500 have been addressed and corrected. I'd had to use a 2nd backup computer to go online, find, download, copy to a USB thumbdrive, a "suite" of online security scanners AND proprietary uninstallers, copy all of those to the crashed computer, install the necessary ones, run the scanners to check for malware infection(s), none were found, THEN run the F-Secure uninstaller, successfully removing Security Suite. THEN I had to run Firefox in Safe Mode to find and correct all the damaged website URLs the crash involved. Some 30(?) websites I could not get to until i repaired them. NOW, how do I get Firefox 137.x checked for conflicts with Spectrum Security Suite and have them corrected so I can have my Firefox AND Antimalware APP running together? Please let me know and Thank you for being here for us, JEC OldHeart1943

I just received an update to FF 137 and my userchrome.css which is set to show tabs BELOW the toolbars (i.e. a logical place above the relevant pages and not halfway up the toolbars etc.) has stopped working. Checked the toolkit.legacy etc and it's still enabled.

Any ideas to fix this are welcome.

April 1, 2025 - Firefox update.. (PC update) (at 1340 ET).

Modzilla devs might want to take a look at it - it has corrupted my system. (Browser resolution exceeds my desktop resolution and a second browser window underneath peaking out.. Your update is BROKEN!

(Switching to Edge until Firefox update is fixed)

I keep seeing a warning that I'd better update firefox by March 14th. But when I try, there seems to be no easy way to do it. I can download the archives, either .bz2 or .xz, for several different versions (ESR or not), for Linux-64. But upon opening these archives, I don't see any obvious "INSTALL" script, nor a "README" or anything else to get me started. How deep do I have to dig into this, to get this simple task done? Why can't it be "one click"? I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up the Debian apt archive to point at Mozilla, since it doesn't seem to be in the defaults -- and why should I have to?

I try to follow the directions in Support, which direct me to the "three lines" menu -> Settings -> General -> Firefox Updates. But it doesn't "automatically download" the new update, in fact it doesn't even seem to try to check for updates, nor is there any link to click to make it update manually. What I see in that panel does not match the screenshot in the Support (see attached image).

I click on "download installer", but it just takes me to the same page where I can specify my language, etc., and then download the archive of the browser itself. No sign of any installer, as mentioned above.

Why is this so hard??? Has my browser been hacked to prevent updates? Please help!

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

can u please stop sending upgrades there always buggy and i have to go thru alot of BS to get it right, this is the last time i will ask then im switching to somthing different now i cant access youtube THANKS ALOT FIREFOX

Ubuntu 24 LTS distro does not support the .deb package but has a SNAP for a ported version of Firefox. Instead, I installed direct Mozilla Firefox into /opt/firefox and run the Mozilla production release. Although as an ordinary user, Firefox will NOT let me use the internal update of Firefox under Help -> About Firefox, if I login as root and into a window environment such as Gnome, my /opt/firefox/firefox will do the About Firefox update internal to Firefox -- no apt involved. Mozilla has an apt repo and method to update Firefox, presumably via the Software Updater that can be run from a regular, not root, user window, perhaps asking for the sudo password. Which approach is better: internal Firefox "About Firefox" update in a root window, or using the .dep repo using non-root Software Updater?

Hey guys,

I really enjoy using Zen, but whenever there's a new update, the browser seems to start up from the beginning, as in, my laptop has to confirm again if I want it to be my standard browser, the shortcuts that I'd made don't work anymore (cmd+T now pops up the search bar instead of opening a new tab, while my settings say that this shortcut is supposed to open a new tab). It has just happened often that whenever there's a new update the browser seems to be very confused, it doesn't seamlessly just blend the new updates into my already existing preferences. A while back (like 3 months ish?) you guys had a new update and I had to go through the whole thing of installation again of the browser, I had to choose if I wanted to import data from an old browser while I had already set Zen up way before, plus I had to choose the dark mode/colour preferences and all that stuff.

I really enjoy this browser when nothing is going wrong but there's so many stuff changing often and not blending seamlessly that it really messes with the user experience.

Hope this feedback is somewhat useful,

Best, Sophia

Hello,

I DREAD it when I'm FORCED to upgrade.

When will the developers put a priority rush on this!!

If you want people to love your product and READILY upgrade to newer versions PLEASE fix this.

Thx

Firefox user

Firefox i cant update my firefox so please update it for me and please dont make me lose anything please i really like firefox and i dont want my page to be stopped so please update it for me because i cant lose anything your sincerly Nariah,

Second post trying to figure out what is going on.

I'm getting the notification that I need to update Firefox, so I click the "download" button which takes me to "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?reason=manual-update", I select the "Download Firefox" button and after a few seconds I get a "Secure Connection Failed" message.

Usually I can just open Chrome and download the Firefox installer but today I'm getting an error stating that "download.mozilla.org" is using certificates from a different website.

Is the download site busted, or is this just a me issue?

If I run Firefox 134.0.1 from the installation folder, fine, no problem. If I then attach it to the Windows 11 taskbar, when I launch it from the taskbar, it opens completely unconfigured.

This doesn't happen with other applications or browsers.

Thank you for appreciating my problem.

I need a simple concise answer to the daily spamming from Firefox to update my firefox, give me a reason to keep using your product. Many people don't have unlimited bandwidth and your company refuses to acknowledge that I cant afford to update all the time but you keep the pressure up every time I open FF. P.S. I know where the uninstall button is.

I've been getting warning messages telling me to update Firefox or security certificates will expire on 14th January. I clicked on Help -> About, but it doesn't check for updates. I also tried going to Preferences, but I still can't see a way to install updates.

I downloaded a version from here https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/download/thanks/ I unpacked it into my home directory, but I'm not sure how to install this version.

I'd like to be able to import my current session into the new version of firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.
