I am aware that native casting exists in FF (and would have enabled it IF ONLY ABOUT:CONFIG STILL EXISTED). Are there any plans to enable it (e.g. via a setting) or is there an extension to achieve it? Either that or PLEASE bring back about:config. Google Home is a trainwreck but VLC casts flawlessly. Thanks.

What the hell do you guys do with the latest update?? My home page is all screwed up and does not look or act at all as my old home page. Apparently there is no way to go back to the "old" look and feel. Not a good decision. Seriously thinking of abandoning Firefox (since I used it in WIndows-7) for a browser that will make my life easier, not harder. At 81 years old I don't time to waste futzing around trying to get my home page to work. "Technology getting in the way of Life." If someone want to guide me to getting my old Firefox home page back, email me. Bob

Disable session restore does not work

I would like to disable automatic session restore completely. When I restart my PC, crashes or anything like that, I do not want Firefox to restore my previously opened tabs or windows. When I open firefox after a system reboot / crash, I want to only open my default home page. Only if I manually click History > Restore Previous Session should firefox ever restore my session, otherwise never restore my sessions.

I tried unchecking Settings > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs, and also tried following this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1182594

My sessions still restores after my computer restarts or crashes.

Why do I want this? When I reboot my computer, I want a clean slate to start from scratch, not the dozens of pages (and other software) I had open from my previous session.

I am running linux mint btw.

The city that comes up on the 'weather' icon is wrong. I try to change it by following the instructions, but there is no drop down menu after I put in the correct zip code. There is no movement at all if I hit Enter or any other key. Please advise.

My Mozilla Firefox bookmarks are Bookmarks 2025-07-22.JSON. They worked well on my older Dell computer. I bought a new Dell desktop computer. I am disgusted with Google. My bookmarks on my C Drive. If you can't help me reload those bookmarks, I may as well decide to delete Firefox and use another such as Total Browser. I certainly hope you will help me load 2025-07-22.JSON on my new computer - it is ridiculous that Firefox wants to put in the full address on the C Drive instead of simply loading those. On Firefox on my last computer I used News which was bookmarked Daily Wire, Epoch Times, Salem News Channel, God's World News, One America News, Washington Times, New York Sun, and local Sterling Virginia Weather. I also use biography sites https://www.Worldhistory.org and Britannica.com [both of which I pay for monthly, as https://www.wikipedia.org/. I also have a Biography folder with names from A to Z I also have many music folders 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990's, 2000s, Music group and singers A to Z, Blues music, Bluegrass, Christian Alternative Music, Country classic, Country & Western Gospel, Folk Singers, Jazz, Motown, Soul and many others which I have gathered over the past 10 years

Good day,

The old version of Firefox prior to July 26, 2025 opened multiple browsing tabs. These tabs looked like the ones from my toolbar.

When I uninstalled Firefox after July26, 2025 and reinstalled it I opened and still all of the tabs would open again.

I tried to delete the history and still the tabs opened. I refreshed and reset and still the tabs opened.

I do not want to lose saved history or have to delete multiple tabs every time I open the browser.
Thank you 
DR
