After upgrading to 149.0.2 (64-bit), when starting FF or opening an new tab, the preferred URL is not loaded. It is configured in Settings/Home/New Windows and Tabs All previuos FF versions were OK with the same URl (https://search.yahoo.com/web/advanced)

Hi,

This is since the last 2 updates.

I usually maintain 2-3 active windows with multiple tabs. Everytime I turn off my PC, when I turn it on again, and I open Firefox, all my windows and tabs would be restored as I last left them. And if I accidentally closed the windows, I can select reopen Recently Closed Windows.

But since the last 2 updates, after I close the window, the option to reopen Recently Closed Windows were still grey.

And it's a hassle that every time I restart my computer, I need to go to Restore Previous Session to have my tabs open again.

And if I or another user opens it and started a new tab/session without restoring, I will no longer be able to restore my previous sessions and would lose all my tabs.

Can you please tell me why the feature is changes, and is there a way I can easily restore my previous sessions without the trouble.

Thank you.

Jennifer

I updated my tablet to a Surface Pro 12 running Windows 11. I installed Firefox on my Surface Pro but I've noticed that all the websites I visit, that the page is outside of my viewing area. I've tried to find a way to fill the webpage to fit within my screen size without luck. I always need to scroll to the right to view the extra content. Is there a method to view the webpage within my screen size..?

I had recently tried to download a .Zip file, which got corrupted. I tried twice again. Now every time I open the browser the three corrupted files pop up in the "downloads" window. It does not appear when opening a new tab, only when starting the browser. I have deleted the corrupted folders and don't want to retry downloading. I have tried both "clear all downloads" and "remove from history" in the downloads window, but the notification still shows up. Settings do not help.

How can I remove this pop-up? It blocks my toolbar and is a general nuisance.

When opening websites the images are not opening, only blank boxes appear. I don't have any settings for security causing problems because I turned them off previously. simply cannot find what is driving this. Thanks, Don

Google Search CAPTCHA persists unless you sign in to your Google account. This only happens in your browser, from versions 140 to 149. Other browsers don't have this problem. Changing the user agent used to help. Now, nothing works.

Relevant to Firefox running on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux and an x86_64 platform.

Until roughly 2/2026, it was possible to load a security device by opening Settings, Privacy and Security, Security Devices, then browsing to a shared pkcs11 shared library, in my case /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so, and clicking Load. The shared library would load and would be loaded subsequently whenever Firefox was started. For roughly the last two months, Firefox would pop up an error saying it was not possible to load the security device, but it would actually be loaded and it;s functionality would be available for the current session. For the last two weeks, the library would load without error, but only for the current session. Starting on 4/13/2026, some functions in opensc-pkcs11.so work, but not others. For example, it is no longer possible to connect to MS Teams web interface.

I'm using Firefox esr, the latest version 149.0.2. Since this update, I can no longer load the videos on NPR.org's home page. Something pops up, but then the wheel/circle thingie just goes round and round, and never loads the video.

My ad blocker was already off for this site. I've tried restarting Firefox in Troubleshooting mode, and changing the various security settings mentioned in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues#w_check-some-firefox-settings, such as adding it to the "Allow popups" exceptions (never necessary before) and other settings. I've reloaded the page multiple times, restarted Firefox, etc.

Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

First off - love Mozilla's work, thank you all for your efforts!

The problem: I f'd up with the Profiles option. I wanted to set up a Work profile on a new windows laptop associated with a new work email (msta....), and then separately have my personal profile connected to my gmail (mstn...).

Well somehow I managed to make my Work (default) profile connected to my overall Firefox + Google personal profile, and have spent a month in my ignorance saving away settings and bookmarks on this machine. Is there anyway that I can disconnect my Gmail account from the profile Work, and connect it to the secondary profile on the same machine titled 'Mel'? Or will I need to export the last month of bookmarks, implode my Mozilla install on this machine, and start over with new profiles and better practices?

Help, multipass!

Thanks, Mel
