Even though I have the settings correct in the browser ('Open previous tabs and windows' checked under Startup in the General settings section), Firefox suddenly stopped doing this. I went to help and have tried everything suggested (for example, in this article -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1365225) to no avail. I generally have to have at least a dozen tabs open at a time due to the nature of my work and it is time-consuming and frustrating to have to re-open the every time.
I have tried the 'restore previous session' under the History menu but that is not an option given. So that isn't working for me either. 'Recently closed tabs' is an option but is greyed out / doesn't work.
It is possible that this is a result of a recent update as Firefox has been almost daily been asking me to update. But I do not know how to go 'back' to last version if that is the case ... or how to turn off the annoying update messages.
So what is going on?
Thank you in advance.

I often look up links/webpages on my phone and then transfer them to Firefox to view later. In the past, when I opened a link in firefox, then dragged the link to a specific folder on the Bookmarks toolbar, it would display the header of the link as the "name" of it. Now, when I transfer a link to a folder on the Bookmarks toolbar, it always sets the URL of the link as the "name" of the bookmark. How do I make it so that when I drag a link to the bookmarks toolbar it saves with the header rather than the URL.
If this helps, I'm using MacOS most of the time.
I've attached an image of what it's like now. The header names are before, the urls are after.
Dualsafe says firefox extension is not secure, not monitored. Is this correct? If so, why?

I subscribe to a website called flat.io. It's a site where I can enter music notation and get playback through emulated instruments.
I want to connect my Yamaha MX88 music keyboard directly to flat.io in order to have the site software record my music keyboard keystrokes instead of entering music notes by hand. flat.io tells that you are compatible, but I need to change settings to allow midi.
I hope you can help me. Thanks, Jim Whited

I am an 86 y/o programmer with poor eyesight. I wrote my first program in 1960 and am learning html,javascript,php and sqlite. I frequently want my browser to 'forget' but in 150% enlargement the forget window doesn't fit on my screen and if i scroll down on the page i lose the popup, so i have to back out to windows (10) set my viewing to 100% and do it over. Suggestion: reduce the size of the pop-up and put the 'forget' button on the top. Are all the little icons necessary? I cant change any of them. And is the time frame necessary? i always choose '24 hrs'. IMO you only need a 'really?' pop-up to the forget button push and then wipe it all out. IMO Firefox is an amazingly good program! kudo's to all you Mozilla programmers! jim murray [email removed from public forum]

Firefox was running fine but few days ago, cannot get Firefox to start. Tried to uninstall, reinstall but didn't work. Tried uninstall, shutdown, reinstall and didn't work. Tried profile manager but it would not start so deleted the profile.ini file. Still won't start. When I look at Task manager, no processes for Firefox are running. Is there something else I should try to get working or should I just not use anymore?

My history kinda crashed.
When clicking "History" on left top corner its empty. I know that the data still somewhere exists because after I click Ctrl+H the side bar appears and there is whole history. But I can't reach it traditionally as before. I'm afraid my history can disappear and I want two things:
1 make my history come back to the normal place (the list on left top corner) 2 make a backup history file somewhere

I noticed with yahoo finance, and possibly another site or two I do not recall, that firefox becomes unable to open any other URLS and seems to lock up after visiting one or more of my saved favorate/bookmarked Yahoo Finance Urls.
I found a solution that works here...
https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1349884#answer-1441665
The solution is not permanent and has to be applied everytime I open firefox and visit a site that causes this problem. It does NOT seem to affect M.S. Edge at all.
Is firefox / mozilla working on a permanent fix for whatever causes this issue?

Hi. Just a couple of days ago, Firefox lost the ability to load the website "ebay.com.au". The UK ebay website loads fine. As does the USA ebay website. I have tried running Firefox in troubleshooter mode disabling all extensions, no fix. I have been able to test this problem on one other Desktop PC, whom also is unable to load (ebay.com.au). Both PC's are 64-bit Windows 10 and have separate router and Internet connections. Both PC's are using the latest Desktop Firefox (111.0.1). I have tested disabling the software (BitDefender) Firewall on the PC, did not fix.

Please read this carefully before commenting to me. I do know some things about computers. And no, I will not get windows 11. I am very happy with windows 10 still. After the recent update I can no longer watch videos outside of Youtube. This is very annoying. I am getting error: 232011. I have gone into the Settings: Extensions and Themes: Extensions: No add ons turned on. I have deleted my cookies. I have reloaded, I have rebooted my computer after deleted cookies. It still says error 232011. This is my ONLY computer, no I cannot check this site on another one. No, I cannot check this site at the local library. Anything that is not Youtube that has videos gets block there at this time. I have no idea why, nor do I care. I have my own computer for this reason. However, I cannot use it if I keep getting this error.

A website that I use normally displays a graph of my variable as a function of time, but it has recently ceased to display the graph. Other data is available in a normal manner on that website. The graph displays when I access the website via Safari (which I rarely use). The uploaded sample images are from Safari and from Firefox. I have enabled pop-ups for that website on Firefox, and I believe I have enabled cookies for that site. Javascript is enabled on Firefox. I can't identify the nature of the problem with Firefox. I am using iMac Pro with OS 12.6 for both. Thanks for any advice.
