Hello!

 Since some days I have the problem that all files I download from outlook are accompanied by a preceding UTF-8 in the file name. This is not the case for e.g. google chrome. Can I fix this problem by myself, or is it a general problem of firefox 128.9esr (64-bit)?

I want to cancel what I was doing tonight and do it another day when it is not so late. I have more office work to do and it is after midnight so I do not want to mess up my windows 7 as I hardly know what I am doing. I need to contact you when I have more time. I am too tired and still have reports to do. Can I cancel what I was doing and try it again another day? I am wanting to get some medical records because I had to go to the ER a few months ago and need them for the Veteran's Assoc. to file a claim

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!

When I go to log in to Amazon there is a grey drop down box that says, Manage Passwords. If I click on that bar it takes me to a page where saved passwords would be on my computer. That box just started dropping down today. I called Amazon and it doesn't have anything to do with them. How do I get rid of that drop down box when logging into Amazon. I feel like my account has been compromised somehow.

Please let me know how to correct that problem Cheryl Nay [email removed]@yahoo.com

When I open FF 137 on my iMac running OS 12.7.6, it just keep trying and trying with no link. When I try and quit it needs to be forced quick to stop running. There are no fire walls and it worked yesterday 4-5-25 just fine, but no go today. I tried replacing FF and still no luck, what do I try now, [email removed]@yahoo.com

I received this email to [email removed]@yahoo.com

I always use Mozilla/Firefox for this and have for a few years. It says that I created an account 2 weeks ago.

Here is the email I received:

"A couple of weeks ago you created a Mozilla account, but never confirmed it. For your security, we will delete the account if not verified in the next 24 hours."

Is this a legitimate email?

something has happened in the last couple of weeks. I can no longer use firefox to get into sites with embedded information. I can't get into my Bank account or Energylink. I've been using firefox for years but I may have to switch if someone doesn't tell me how to fix this....

Hello, I use Windows 10, I downloaded Firefox using Microsoft Edge. Once it is installed, it creates an Icon then when you double click it, it does not open, even when I try to open as administrator and it opens, it does not look like a Firefox page because it is a blank page. My browser is Opera, but I opened Firefox from Microsoft Edge. Email me at [email removed]@yahoo.com please.

Why are these showing up now? They were never there before. Is there a way to hide them or make them disappear? They are ugly, distracting to look at and unnecessary. I tried one about:config solution, but it did not work. Please fix this. See screenshot. The black tacks should not be visible, but now they are.

Why am i getting the following msg. GAH. Your Tab Just Crashed.

This just started yesterday. Not sure why

I'm attempting to set up Firefox in a newly installed OS and have logged into my Sync account. Many aspects seem to be loaded in, but the status via the Settings is stuck at "Syncing..." despite waiting several hours. Quitting Firefox results in a crash window popping up.

There are no files in the weave/logs directory. The weave/failed directory has multiple json files; most almost completely empty. addons.json has an ID, but that's pretty much it.

Deleting the .mozilla directory and starting over yielded no change in behavior.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I get random crashes while streaming video (for example youtube). I am using a laptop with 2 GPUs (integrated AMD and dedicated Nvidia) and a secondary monitor. If the Firefox windows is on the laptop display I never get crashes but on the secondary display I get around 1-2/hour. Also, this only happens with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox settings, if I deactivate it then the issue is gone. I think it runs on the AMD integrated graphics, based on what I see in task manager. I also have uBlock origin, haven't tried deactivating it yet. The crashses consist in a black screen from which I can only recorver by doing a hard reset.

Any suggestions on what to try?

Firefox launch opens /home/pdl/Documents/Browsers/Firefox/chrome as a new tab, I have set the setting "Open previous windows and tabs" on and off, I prefer this setting to be enabled, my OS is LMDE 6 and Firefox is the flatpak install version 137.0.2 (64-bit), I have also tried the system install and deleted all Firefox in between installs or should I say I think I did, please this is driving me nuts, even with me logged out of Sync this happens.

Thanks
