Hi,

regarding vulnerability CVE-2023-3600 when I check advisories it says that version below 115.0.2 ESR are affected. Does that mean that only 115.x versions are affected or all versions are affected like 102.x ?

Regards

My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

I clicked on a link in an email and FF began opening it. It then stopped and gave a message that the site was causing FF to run slow. That was an understatement, as FF never continued and didn't fully open the site. I copied the URL to Chrome and it had no problem quickly opening the site. What do I need to fix in FF to make it happy again? This is the link if you want to try it. https://www.mypoints.com/jumppage?trkid=p16498665&h=1645af8f93c2559daa84038a922f4a04&merchant=10659&page=110&finalUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbestbuy.7tiv.net%2Fc%2F49764%2F687081%2F10014%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Ftop-deals&brand=BestBuy&deo=16498665,5,0,0,0,0,0&utm_source=BONUSMAIL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1196390

This bug occurs very randomly, but it seems there have few things in common.

- Occurring on domain level, one domain at once. For example, if Youtube.com stuck, any sub address including each video page is not loaded. Other website and whole browser works fine. - Other program on same PC is not affected, too. - Which page is stop loading is completely random. It might be happen only on a popular, feature-rich site like amazon, google, but not sure. - The timing is also random. Maybe after waking PC up from sleep, but not sure. Frequency of occurrence is once every 1~5 days. - The workaround without restarting browser is 1.)switching to other container tabs(strangely), 2.)opening website on private window. Disabling all the addon manually didn't help.

Since it's randomness, I didn't have any logs about this issue.

Since the penultimate and now the last current update to version 127.0.2 (64Bit), the button (tile with the + sign) to add new shortcuts is no longer available. How can new shortcuts be added now?

I have used Firefox for longer than I care to remember and have never had any problem with it but this morning I switched on my PC and a new AI side bar has appeard on the left and I don't want it. Can you please make it so we can remove it and looking around the internet, I know I'm not the only one with this opinion.

For several weeks now, whenever I try to log in to a google account, Firefox crashes. The crash happens on the screen where you enter your email address, before the page where you enter your password. I start to enter my email, and about 3 letters in to typing my entire browser freezes. The crash also happens in troubleshooting mode, so I know that it isn't a problem with one of my plug-ins. This isn't an urgent issue, I can get by with the gmail accounts that are already logged in, but it is really annoying.

How to search for installed (both enabled and disabled) addons extensions in Firefox browser like chrome does via "chrome://extensions/" in 2025?

It is quite surprising that in 2024-25, firefox still doesnt have any option to search for installed addons via "about:addons". You can only search for addon site, not for those installed on your device and profile and browser.

Is firefox team really updating their browser for 2025 when compared to chrome?

Hello. Our organization is experiencing an issue where sound settings are not carrying over correctly to Firefox. Specifically, this is with speaker settings. In multiple calling platforms (tested in Genesys Cloud and Teams), we are not able to adjust the settings for the speaker that audio plays from. We can adjust the default microphone setting, but not the speaker setting. This is only occurring in Firefox (works fine in Edge and Chrome).

Additionally, we've tried adjusting the default audio settings by going to Windows > Sound settings > App volume and device preferences, and changing the settings specifically for Firefox on this page. This does not work. When we check Teams or Genesys Cloud, it seems like Firefox is just picking any default without a rhyme or reason.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

After setting Firefox as the default browser, every time I search on address, it opens Yahoo website instead of staying with Firefox. What else can I do to stop this from happening?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer and expected Firefox to sync and restore my saved passwords, as I had enabled Firefox Sync before reinstalling. However, after syncing my account, my passwords did not appear, and I am unable to access them.

I have already tried the following steps:

   Checked the sync status of my Firefox account.
   Ensured that I am signed into the correct Firefox account on my browser.
   Searched for any relevant troubleshooting steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Could you please assist me in restoring my saved passwords or provide any guidance on how I can retrieve them?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Tameem

When I try to compose a new email, or reply to one, the pane opens to compose the email, but immediately closes before I can enter anything, reverting back to the Inbox. A new, empty draft gets created. But there is no way I can create a new email. Problem does not occur on other browsers. If I open a "New Private Window" and sign in to Outlook, I can then create the email there, but after a while the same problem occurs in that window too. Tried clearing Firefox cache temp files and cookies, but that did not resolve the problem. Using web based Outlook, Windows 10. Firefox is up to date.

Any suggestions?

firefox kept freezing up and slow load... I did a system restore then i uninstalled then reinstalled firefox browser... are my old bookmarks gone forever. firefox installed a new bookmarks folder. are my old bookmarks gone forever? firefox installed a new bookmarks folder

In the past when I saw an article that I wanted to email to myself, I would click on the envelop icon and it would go to “choose and application to open the mail to link” I would choose if I remember correctly Yahoo and it would open up.

Now the only choice I have if Firefox, and when I click on it nothing happens. What is the problem?

Under”Choose other Applications”, there is nothing to forward that article to me.

While using Yahoo email I tried to access the 'Notepad' page and get a message saying to Download a new version of Firefox to see the 'Calendar' even though I was trying for the 'Notepad' not the 'Calendar'. If I try for the 'Calendar' I initially get the small right-sidebar version fine but if I ask for the full page version I get the error message again. This does not happen if I access Yahoo through Chrome-browser. I have repeatedly done the download to no avail. (I have version 99.0.1). I am attaching a screenshot of the error message. Thanks for any help. No rush.
