RE: After a Mac re-start; despite, having the 'Startup > Open previous windows and tabs' checked in General page; the Restore Tabs option's in both the Top Menu History, and the Top Right Button Menu > History > Mange History were all greyed out. Even the keyboard shortcut to restore all Tabs > Command-Shift-T > Failed.

This has never happened before with Re-starts.

Am I able to restore all these tabs by accessing my Firefox Profile, and what are the exact steps?

Firefox 148.0 (64 bit) desktop.

Thx, Diego

Hi,

Can anyone help. A forced update was done to firefox and when relaunching it was like I had never used it before. All bookmarks and passwords were gone. When logging onto my account not record of my bookmarks. When looking on my desktop there was nothing there either. Is there anyway to get these back?

Thanks

I am investigating a persistent geolocation issue affecting Firefox, where the browser geolocation API returns a precise but incorrect location in the United States.

Actual location: United Kingdom (precise location not shared for privacy)

Incorrect location returned: 39.264542, -76.765924 (Catonsville, Maryland, USA) Reported accuracy: approximately 185 meters around this incorrect point

This issue has been extensively tested and does not appear to be related to IP geolocation, system configuration, or local network setup.

Summary of findings: Reproduced in Firefox and across other browsers:

Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Edge Google Chrome Brave

Reproduced across multiple systems: Windows 11 Windows Server 2025

Reproduced across multiple public IPs: Static /29 allocation BT dynamic IP (completely different address) → Same incorrect Maryland location returned in all cases

Wi-Fi vs Ethernet: Wi-Fi (with SSID/location services) returns correct UK location Ethernet consistently returns Maryland → Indicates fallback to provider-based geolocation rather than IP-based resolution

All standard IP geolocation sources are correct (UK): ipinfo.io ifconfig.co DB-IP / BrowserLeaks IP lookup RIPE allocation Reverse DNS (BT Openworld)

Command-line and non-browser tests confirm correct UK location: curl / PowerShell requests return UK consistently No evidence of US routing, proxying, or DNS leakage

Critical observation: Firefox geolocation (navigator.geolocation) returns:

Exact same coordinates every time Same result across all browsers and machines Consistent high-precision accuracy (~185 meters) around the incorrect Maryland location

Control comparison: Pale Moon (more IP-based geolocation path) returns correct UK location

Conclusion: This does not appear to be a traditional IP geolocation issue.

All IP-based systems resolve correctly to the UK. The incorrect result only occurs when using browser geolocation APIs.

Given: The consistency across browsers and systems The identical coordinates returned each time The high-precision accuracy around the incorrect location

This strongly suggests a provider-side geolocation dataset issue.

Since Firefox uses Mozilla Location Services, I would like to confirm whether:

This result is coming from Mozilla Location Services directly, or from an upstream/shared dataset Whether this type of persistent incorrect high-confidence location can be corrected or escalated within Mozilla’s geolocation system

Thank you.

Nachdem ich Mozilla VPN heruntergeladen und installiert hatte, stürzte mein Firefox Browser regelmäßig beim Start ab, so das ich Mozilla VPN wieder deinstallieren musste um überhaupt wieder in Firefox zu gelangen ?????

Since the most recent update installed on Firefox, my homepage no longer loads on opening the browser. Instead, a blank page loads, and I have to hit the home button in order to get to my home page. I've checked and none of my settings have changed, so don't see what else it can be other than some kind of bug?

I just received this from my browser application, in the developer console:

“hzcddohaebgygypamkuh.supabase.co” has been classified as a bounce tracker. If it does not receive user activation within the next 3,600 seconds it will have its state purged.

I don't think accessing supabase via their javascript library should be tripping this. I hope this does affect my customers' experience.

Since your last update on 13th Feb 2026, we have not been able to receive any emails on the computer. All phones and iPads do ! We keep seeing "Captcha " requesting us to match items, etc., then when we do and get them all right, it pops up a message "Oops, Something went wrong." Our Wi-Fi provider, Spark.co.nz, suggested that Firefox has something like a firewall stopping the emails from coming through. Your thoughts or comments would be appreciated. We have used other "Browsers" which allow them to do so, but would rather have Mozilla Firefox, which gives us no problem whatsoever with all other Apps and Websites.

Kind Regards.

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

The past 2 days When watching Peacock, after a commercial is done it freezes but yet the show is back on. Only way to watch the show is to move the mouse after all commercials. So this is new. I watched peacock on EDGE, no glitches. I checked my speed test...all is good. Frustrating, i'm used to firefox....so FIREFOX is not compatible to Peacock. and i installed Firefox again since it was running slow, crashing glitches,& non responsive...

I have previously enjoyed firefox very much. After the latest update I am now unable to login to bluehost, nor can i copy from chatgpt any more. What happened. I can do the same in Chrome.

Hello everyone,

yesterday I got quite a scare. While Firefox was open, a new tab briefly appeared showing the page about:processes, and immediately afterwards the browser closed itself on its own.

At the same time, Chrome was open in the background. When I clicked on Chrome, a prompt appeared asking whether I wanted to allow changes to be made to the system (the typical UAC prompt). However, I’m not entirely sure if this was actually triggered by Chrome or possibly by another application.

I clicked “No” on the UAC prompt and immediately unplugged my keyboard. I recently started using an ASUS ROG Falcata, which is connected via USB.

After that, I ran a virus scan with Windows Defender — it didn’t find anything. I also ran AdwCleaner, which also came up clean.

At first, I suspected the ASUS ROG Falcata (I’ve only been using it for a few days), since it’s almost like a small computer itself and can execute macros, patterns, etc. I was worried about a possible firmware bug or something worse. At the moment, I’m honestly hesitant to plug it back in and am using an old Dell keyboard instead.

Importantly, I wasn’t pressing any keys at the time of the incident.

Now I’m quite unsure what could have caused this.

Is there any way to trace this in Firefox (e.g., via logs)?

And is there any (event) log where I could check what triggered the UAC prompt?

One more thing I noticed: I shut down the PC afterward and turned it back on later that evening. Everything booted normally and is still running fine today. However, Firefox updated itself yesterday from version 148.2 to 149. Maybe that was somehow related (though there’s no indication in the Firefox update history that anything failed or similar).

I need to disable the "command I" keystroke because it is causing alot of problems when I hit it. I am on a Mac and use a Protooarc EK01+ keyboard, This keyboard has a "settings" key and when I peess it by accident, it dislays the Ihfo dialog screen (and erases what I've already typed. Can you help me, please?

Firefox 148.0.2
