I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

When I try to open a link using Mac Mail "open link behind mail," the new tab in Firefox opens in the foreground. ChatGPT tells me this is a Firefox related issue and is giving me a bunch of about:config alterations to try, but they don't work.

Is ChatGPT leading me astray, hallucinating?

Is there a Firefox fix? This is a new problem. Is it a bug? Thanks.

Whenever I try to purchase anything from the Mozilla merchandise store, the checkout does not load at all, no matter what device, OS, or browser I am using. This does not happen in any other store ran by Spreadshop, and I've asked some friends and they've had the same issues as well.

Any help as to how I could access the checkout, or any other way of buying these products would be greatly appreciated.

version 145.0 problem with bookmark bar not showing when set on 'always on" setting. I have replaced the places.squlite folder with another one from a previous computer. there is only one profile available in the user lib on my mac os Tahoe and have done this replacement file numerous times in the past so don't know the the problem is. Any help would be apreciated.

Sometimes, when I have multiple windows open, closing a window won't completely close. It leaves a blank area where it was, the title of the window is displayed, but clicking in the area just switches to one of the other open windows, and there seems to be no way to finish the process. This has been a problem through the last few Firefox updates. Any thoughts? OS -- macOS Tahoe 26.1 Firefox -- 145.0 (aarch64)

I have the files of my original firefox profile, i just need someone help me figure out if i can recover my passwords from here, i put all the files back into a new profile but it just gives me my old bookmarks, nothign else.

Every time I accidentally close Firefox I lose all my saved groups on reopening. I can see they are still there but cannot see how to open them. They are such a great innovation. Please make it easier to restore them from previous sessions. Going through a search history and restoring them one by one is hugely time consuming when they are already there and just inaccessible. btw, I tried using scrounger (via troubleshooting) but the "Save List" is greyed out.

Running on Mac OS 15.6.1

I want to avoid any 'ai assist' searches because I do not find their summaries accurate or valuable enough to be worth the environmental impact they consume. I know my web browser searches are not under the control of firefox, but for privacy and security I kill cookies when I end browsing sessions. So I am not staying logged in to search engines when I finish my sessions, and setting my preferences to 'no ai assist' on DDG doesn't last session to session because the search engine defaults to 'ai assist' searches now, as does google.

Are there any search engines that do not use ai?

Has anyone written an extension/add-on to FF that would add 'minus ai' to all my searches no matter what browser I use? Or otherwise indicate to search engines that I do not want ai-assisted summaries period?

We've got various privacy options built into FF--this is why it is my preference always--and it would be LOVELY to have a 'no ai' option too.

About a week ago, my Firefox browser started being extremely slow to load. It loaded the shortcuts but the page full of news things to click on never loaded. Instead, the rectangles where they would go were just illuminated from left to right with a gray sweep light to dark over and over. I left it going and hours later it was still doing it. I clicked on some of the shortcuts and some came up and others did not, at least during the time I was willing to wait. I went to Google Chrome and it was slower than usual but eventually I was able to get to my email, ebay, etc. I spent hours on the phone with Xfinity/Comcast and they ran tests and said everything was ok. I checked and found that I have the latest version of Firefox. Is it possible that an update caused this? If not, what is going on?

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.

I just tried to sync to my Firefox on my phone, but when it opened, an ANCIENT EMAIL ADDRESS WAS THERE, and it is not connected to the generated password I selected tonight. Can I get guidance on how to fix this dilemma? I'm also very old, so this stuff comes less quickly than to some of my friends or co-workers.

Thank you, Mark Somers San Diego, CA (where it's supposed to be "73 and sunny" every day but flooding rains are coming!!)

Does anyone know why I might be having trouble logging into Checker Plus for Gmail? I have the extension installed, but I can't seem to log in to any of my Gmail accounts and get logged out immediately.

I've read that it could be something to do with Containers, but I think I've turned Containers off? (Maybe I'm wrong about that.)

I'd appreciate any guidance with this!! Thanks
