Password screen comes up starting firefox. I have never set a primary password. If I follow the instructions to cancel, as soon as I go to passwords the pass required screen comes up!

Hi,

Since the latest update, I have not been able to open firefox on a second profile I have on my Mac (I normally have 'work' and 'personal', both admins but the 'work' is the main one. It's the 'personal' firefox that is not opening.

It tryies to install the helper (a new thing), prompts me for the password, then doesn't do anything. The firefox icon bounces like it's doing something, but then doesn't. On my main profile, everything is normal and fine. I also think the 'helper' is already installed from the main profile, so it shouldn't need to do it.

Running a MacBook Pro, latest OS.

Help community!

I had multiple tab groups which I had chosen to save and close. These tab groups have now completely disappeared and I cannot find them. When I began using Tab Groups, I had checked and there was no information stating that unopened tab groups would be deleted. I want these groups back. If I had known Tab Groups would disappear, I would have saved my tabs into a folder. The only Tab Groups that show up now are under "Recent tab groups". If tab groups are going to be deleted after a set period of time, it should be stated clearly in the tab group settings. It would also be really useful to archive them into a bookmarked folder so people don't unexpectedly lose hours of research.

Please forgive me if this question was already answered and that I might have accidentally overlooked that answer.

I'm running Firefox 144.0 (64-bit) under Debian 13 (linux).

I want to configure Firefox to never restore any previous session when it starts up, irrespective of how Firefox was last exited.

Even if a running Firefox session was externally killed via some sort of system command or because of a reboot, I never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVER (!!!) want it to restart in any previous session.

I ALWAYS (!!!) want Firefox to launch with its default start page, no matter what.

I tried all of the suggestions that I have found on line about how this might be accomplished, but with each one of them, there are cases where the previous session was restored.

I repeat, I do NOT (!!!) EVER (!!!) want the previous session to be restored, under any circumstances.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again, please accept my apology if this has been answered and I overlooked that answer.

I have a list of websites that I keep in the cookies exceptions list so I remained logged in. But I noticed the list is blank in a few recent Firefox versions, even though the sites still retain the cookies. That means I cannot edit the entries or even see them.

At one point earlier this week, I had to sign out of all but one of my google accounts to get a link for a remote meeting to work. Afterward, when I visited youtube, it logged me in under that google account, which is not the one I use for browsing on my own time; I logged out, then, when I tried to log in under the proper account, google/youtube thought erroneously that I had set a passkey, and it and my password manager fought. I fixed the conflict (deleted the unset passkey). Then Youtube stopped letting me log in; no matter what, I get sent to www.youtube.com/oops

Initially, this error effected youtube login on all every browser I use. Clearing the cache and history on those, after having fixed the password issue, fixed the problem on them. Firefox, however, is refusing every fix.

I have cleared the cache, the history, going back to 'Everything.' I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser. I have disabled all add-ons and enhanced tracking. I have gone into the advanced configuration settings for firefox and deleted the cookie files for my profile. Youtube and Google are ON my security whitelist. I've tried "forget about this site." I've tried private browsing after first clearing the cache and history, "forget about this site", and after deleting the cookie sqfiles.

It has been days, and I am going in circles! Can anyone please help me?

Trying to add an extension my mypoints.com, I have the site allowed for downloads but when I try, I receive a message that it is blocked from being downloaded.

When I in Firefox try to print a page from Google Kalender (Swedish), it just turns out blank. All other kinds of printouts , e.g. Word, web pages, etc., works fine. This problem started some weeks ago. Please help! Thank you!
