Hello, for some time now I've been experiencing a number of problems with the latest Firefox updates.

Today I have version 152.0 (64-bit), which was updated again this morning. I restarted my mid-2015 MacBook Pro Retina. I have fiber optic internet, which is very high speed.

I've been using Firefox for over two years.

1) For the past eight days, I've been experiencing many problems with Google Meet; I get freezes, audio and video dropouts...

2) For the past three days, I haven't been able to log in to this website: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/login

3) For about ten days, I've been having trouble logging into my Stripe dashboard, with significant slowness and/or crashes.

4) In Notion, I'm also experiencing significant slowness, with pages taking a long time to load.

In short, several problems that I didn't have at all a month ago or before.

But now it's a nightmare.

I don't have any of these problems in Safari or Google Chrome.

So what's going on in Firefox?

Why is it such a hassle?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hello. I have two questions about settings. 1. I want to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu. 2. I want to hide the "Original Profile" option from the options that appear when you click the Firefox hamburger menu.

I'm asking about these two points. 1. I'm trying to hide the "Take Screenshot" option, but I couldn't find a solution even after searching. about:config ↓ extensions.screenshots.disabled ↓ From true to false ↓ Even restarting Firefox didn't hide the "Take Screenshot" option. 2. Regarding hiding the "Original Profile," I can't find any information about this option, so is it impossible to hide it? I'm asking about these two points.

1. 1. Steps to reproduce

Open several tabs, in settings, check «ouvrir les fenêtres et onglets précédents», quit firefox.

1. 1. 1. Expected behavior

On startup, Firefox should reopen with the same tabs before shutdown.

1. 1. 1. Actual behavior

Firefox opens with one empty tab. Forcing me to got to «history -> recently closed windows -> restore» everytime I quit Firefox or shutdown the mac.

1. 1. 1. Device & build information

The alert message appears everytime I go back into gmail This browser version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser. I checked that Firefox was last updated Feb. 26. So I'm understanding what's going on. thanks

I run the current version of Firefox (152.01) under Windows 11 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 15-3530 laptop. More and more frequently, I'm getting "Access Denied" messages when I click on a site link t56o an internal page. This happens on several sites, most notably Dell.com. I get the error in Troubleshooting Mode, and clearing the cache doesn't help. I've searched the information here, but all the responses seem to involve Windows 7 or Windows 8, not Windows 11. Can someone tell me how to resolve this situation in Windows 11?

Thank you.

What are the step-to-step instructions in order to use Free VPN? (see attached image) I did a query on the web and it came back stating that Firefox VPN was not free. I am confused. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

On last Firefox update my Password manager was blanked out. I had no username/passwords in my Password Manager although I had previously had over 100. I managed to recover it by logging in to my Mozilla account but now have access to over 7000 of other peoples usernames and passwords on my password manager. You seem to have a major data breech or is this a quirk I don't understand? These other names/passwords show up when I try to log into certain sites, such as Schwab for example, and I have to pick mine out of a host of others to fill in the login info. What is going on?

I'm sending this from my phone. My desktop FF (Win 10) suddenly displayed a black wireless globe type icon called Prox-Media pinned to my taskbar. I can't find the app on my system, though, but the full path leads it to a firefox.exe file. Before my brain kicked in, I'd clicked on the icon right after noticing it, and Firefox came up with the attached error message displayed.

"Prox-Media" comes up nowhere in my searches - not as legit, not as a virus - just no results. Can you help?

I have a paid AVG account and I ran a deep scan but it found nothing.

Recently, I've been having a problem with signing in to things via my Google account – the problem being that I can't.

Whenever I click on the "sign in with Google", it redirects me to the "accounts.google.com" page, prompting me to choose my account, but once I do, I get redirected to "accounts.google.com/gsi/transform", which is just a blank page with nothing in it (see image attached).

I know this is not a problem with Google, as I have no problem signing in anywhere else.

This happened to me once before, but the reason was one of my extensions, which for some reason interfered with the sign in; however, this time this solution does not work. I tried disabling every single one of my extensions, turning all kinds of protections in the settings on and off, deleting all cache for all relevant sites, but to no avail.

I of course also tried looking this problem up on the internet, but whenever I found someone with this problem, the solution that worked for them was always just disabling an extension.

Thank you for any answer.

Firefox has been crashing regularly for a full day now. I have one profile with multiple extensions, and a fresh profile that is meant to test firefox without any. With this new, "clean-slate" profile with none of my extensions installed, I still get repeated crashes. It is getting in the way of my ability to work- it happens even in Troubleshoot mode, even though I could not confirm any hardware issues prior to this.

Will I need to delete the extenstion-filled profile entirely before going forward? Is there an update I need to install, or anything else I should do myself? Should I provide a list of my extensions?

Attached is the Report ID of my latest crash- hopefully it will help.

Thank you!

I set the about:config settings when I got the new computer early last year. It's been working fine. Suddenly, searches are popping up again to the urlbar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is still set to false. Keyword.enabled is still set to false.

I see a couple of site references to browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, but it doesn't exist.

How do I get FF back to proper search in the search bar?

i go to chrome have no problem getting and keeping Facebook i have closed and enable the extensions removed some and it either does not work or takes for ever in the version of Facebook. . I keep checking if Facebook is down there are limited problems but i do not see the problems in Chrome. if this keeps up i will be going to chrome which i really do not want to

"Access Denied" when accessing homedepot.com and lowes.com using microsoft edge or firefox within windows 7

Yesterday, Facebook started to take longer and longer to load a page. Whenever I tried to post something and it took forevahhhh for it to show up on the timeline. I had to reload and repost several times since yesterday. All other websites are loading up just fine, but Facebook has taken as long as 30 seconds, sometimes even more before it refreshes a page.

Then.. it got worse. All I could see was the Facebook logo in the middle of the screen and nothing else.

Then it got even worse. As of this morning, I can't even get any results when I google Facebook! I put Facebook into the search bar, click return -- and nothing happens, absolutely nothing.

I'm not seeing any problems with any other website. I have already restarted my modem. I have already cleared out the cache and the cookies. I have restarted my laptop three times. I even looked up Downdetector, but there aren't any problems with the website in general.

Those are all the solutions I've found when searching about this, but the problem is only becoming worse, with everything I try. If there's something I need to change in Facebook settings, I can't do that, because now Facebook is completely inaccessible.

This is only happening on my laptop. Mobile is fine.

I downloaded the Firefox ESR for my High Siera OS, but I still get the message that Firefox is no longer supported, Why??? Just let me know what I need to do so I can use the browser without worry.

I have a MacPro 2012, updated to the max. I'm retired, and by budget does not allow for a new computer.

Thanks. Doina Paraschiv

I'm suddenly getting repeated/multiple Mozilla Firefox "Browser Alerts", "System Warnings," and "McAfee Critical Virus Alerts" that are wrong and dysfunctional. They pop up every few seconds. They contain "Remove virus now" and "quick scan" buttons, but these only take me to a bright red screen that says:

"Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards."

These come even though I haven't tried to access any "deceptive sites." I have to x all of them out to clear my screen.

There's obviously a defect in your warning system. How do I stop this?

Every time I manually update firefox, it reinstalls the automatic update malware "Mozilla Maintenance Service". I can't stop this malware from being installed with my browser every time I update Firefox. I call it malware because its not wanted, and it behaves like malware by secretly downloading content without my consent and then shutting down my browser when it finishes by blocking access to all new tabs.

I've tried adding policies to stop auto updates, but Mozilla Maintenance Service ignores all policies. I'm going to see if I can contact AVG and explain to them that Mozilla Maintenance Service is malware and see if I can get it classified as such to see if that'll finally get through to someone because I'm sick of this crap constantly being installed and forcing things on me whenever they want and not when I want.

Now after this update, every google search forces open my location service trying to force me to give location rights. This update is even more malware than all the other updates before hand. Firefox is getting extremely dangerous.
