Firefox Community Forum

I have been using a financial website recently. I signed out and closed the web pages, Mozilla is set to always clear my History when closing my MacBook or my Windows 11 laptop. When I came back to either laptop some time later and go onto Mozilla and enter the webpage details, when I clicked on the login page my username and password are both in both of the relevant boxes. This should not be happening. Is it a setting I need to change or an issue with the Webpage? Just to confirm I deleted the user & password details from the login page & closed the login page. closed every other Mozilla webpage that was open. I quit Mozilla on the Macbook. Then I opened my Windows 11 laptop. Signed into Windows. Checked my Mozilla Account & cleared all history so there was no Nucleus webpages in history or anything else. My settings are set as shown in the attachments.

Then I found the login page and opened it.and There is were my user details & password. as shown also.

As I am trying to make my browsing faster by minimizing the use of the mouse, I have come across an issue: if I search among all tabs on Firefox for Mac, either by "shift + command + A" or by adding a percent sign to the address / search bar, selecting a tab that is within a collapsed tab group deleted the tab group in question in this keyboard-based manner of execution. This issue leads to the unnecessary need to recreate the tab group. I have verified the issue at least with a collapsed tab group containing a single tab.

Until a week or two ago, Amazon Prime Video worked without a problem in my Firefox browser. Now I cannot get Prime Video to open any show (the play button keeps spinning and is not clickable). The website is unresponsive as well, although it loads. Here is what I have already done for troubleshooting.

1. Updated Firefox to latest version. 2. Cleared cache and cookies. 3. Checked for hardware acceleration issues. 4. Disabled IPv6. 5. Tested in Private mode with all add-ons disabled. 6. Disabled Enhanced tracking protection.

This is an issue with Firefox since Prime Video works fine on other browsers.

FF backup files are way way way too too large. How to backup only the important bare minimum? How to backup without Cache? Why is there no configuration (options) for what is backed-up? There ought to be. Thank you so much. Be very very well.

Why does accounts.mozilla.org block the Bitwarden extension for FF from filling the log-in fields?

(Zero added security. Plenty of added annoyance.)

Thank you.

Be very very well.

I updated today because of the CA issue but this version of Firefox seems not to be able to save PDF files. This might be a bug.

What I did to try to resolve:

1. Tested saving PDFs from different websites: no PDFs were saved. All failed silently (Save as PDF dialog closes as normal after I select the destination for the file. No file is produced, no error message is shown.)

2. Checked to see if a different application could save PDFs today on my computer. No problem. It's just Firefox.

3. Restarted Firefox: same problem

4. Restarted my Mac (mini m4, Sequoia 15.8.1): same problem

Note: Printing on paper from Firefox still works.

I've run into an issue on macOS where Firefox does not restore my previous session if I close the browser using the red "X" window button. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in settings.

• Scenario A: If I click the red "X" button to close the Firefox window and then reopen Firefox, my previous tabs are gone (except for pinned tabs) and a new session is started.

• Scenario B: If I use Cmd + Q (or Firefox > Quit) to close the application, my session restores perfectly upon the next launch.

It seems that closing the window updates the session state to an empty window, wiping out the saved session even though the application process is still running in the macOS dock.

Is there a way to configure Firefox on macOS so that closing the last window via the red "X" preserves the session tabs just like Quitting does?

159.0 (aarch64) still has many issues across sites.

I have cleared the cache on these sites. I have removed cookies. Restarted the browser. Restarted the computer.

On Instagram and YouTube especially, when you click their tab, many times the page is now blank, you canot reload it, it just dissappears. If ti is there, clicking around is extremely slow if not unresponsive.

It is a tad better in the latest update, a small tad, but still very much broken from previous release.

I have a screen recording

I am finding Firefox to become less user friendly as time moves on. The latest is that my 1Password 6 app is no longer able to paste my Passwords into the fields on a Web Page. This has become too frustrating, and I cannot imagine why Firefox would do something like this.

Hi Guys,

 My password for MasterCard never reloads anymore.  I've followed all your recommendations and turned on "ASK FOR LOGIN" but nothing works.  
 It use to work before MasterCard changed the website to Citi Bank.
   Whenever I typed in the first letter of my username it would fill in the address automatically....
but now I have to type in the whole address every time ........

I've called MasterCard and they said call you ???

Thanks for your help, Peter Carbone

Hi

I am from Iran and I would like to buy a VPN subscription from you but I have a questions:

In Iran there is a blocking system called DPI and the government can drop the international internet and only domestic net. At this time does your VPN work?

Many VPN sellers use Iran serves and foreign servers at the same time and do a reverse tunnel so in this way you will connect to Iran VPS but your IP is always the foreign IP with full international internet . Do you have the same methodology in your VPN systems ?

Thanks

Best regards, Peyman

When I use File > Print (or CMD-P) to make a pdf file of the current Firefox tab, the pdf file saves to a directory deep in the OS instead of the directory I specify and does not have the file name i specified. It used to work ok. Ideas to fix this?

I have Firefox ver 159.0 and MacOS 15.8.1
