3 weeks ago I set up my work profile, week ago I also added my personal profile. I Installed the addons I needed, set different themes for each profile. Then I was logged in into my work FF profile. Now I installed the latest update (140.0.2). Opened the neutral window, didn't ask to recover previously opened windows, didn't ask to log in into the previously open profile. I logged into my work profile. And most of addons are gone, my opened tabs gone. 1password, react developer tool, Grammarly - stayed. The theme is from my personal profile. Addons Web developer, axe, JSONVue, PixelZoomer, PrinterLogic, VisBug, Tabliss (with lots of configuration in it!) - gone. In the history - items from my second profile. I'm not payed at my work to spend few hours each FF update to re-setup my addons (that I need for work - I'm a web developer) and their configs. Good that I stored the Tabliss config, but whot if I wouldn't? - I expected this is also stored in my profile.

Dear Mozilla,

Have a copy of Firefox portable, that I use on a USB stick. Before Firefox 140, it updated properly. Now, I find that it keeps staying on version 135, even though it keeps telling me it has updated to the latest version. Puzzled by this. Can you please advise me on this problem?

how do i completely stop updates? or at least until i restart the browser, not the browser making me restart it. i have it set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them", but its not really a choice if im forced to press the button to continue browsing...

it happens twice a day that firefox prevents me browsing and makes me wait 30 seconds for it to update after clicking the "restart firefox and update" button. very frustrating.

Since the latest Firefox update, the color of the letters appears black on a gray background, making them invisible. How can I change the colors of the bookmarks sidebar? Thanks in advance.

So I was looking at Event Viewer and I have noticed that Firefox Default Browser Agent shows error with EventID: 5, aKa Access Denied.

I tried to google a bit, but couldnt find anything useful, or at least for me.

Then I went to about:config in FF and I have noticed that even if I didnt personally made any edits, when I clicked show only modified preferences, it shows A LOT.

So it makes me to wonder what exactly is this error and why my config have so many modified preferences, even if I didnt modify any >.>

Как запретить мозилле устанавливать ее блядские обновления в самый неподходящий момент?! Мне не нужны ваши кривые новинки, мне нужна стабильность без вылетов!!!!!!

Recently I bought a Mac Mini and it won't allow me you sign in with Mozilla products (primarily Firefox). It defaults be to Safari. How do I get around their Safari requirement and install Firefox?

Hi, can someone please to me how to turn off automatic updates on Firefox Version 140.0 (64-bit)? Firefox's own support page, "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-options-preferences-and-settings?as=u&utm_source=inproduct", is incorrect. It states that, "Firefox Updates Here you can check your update history or change update settings for Firefox.", but you can not change the update setting, (see attachment).

It is really annoying it updates while you are using it, ruining your experience as you can no longer refresh tabs or open new ones forcing you to restart it.

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.

I have Sequoia 15.5 on a 2021 MacBook Pro and have always used FF as my browser. Now, I can't get it to do much more than open. Nothing new happened that I know about, except updates to "Malwarebytes" I have some computer knowledge but not a lot. TIA.

Hello. Why doesn't Fiery Fox release a portable version of the browser? What if everything was in one folder and didn’t shit throughout the entire system?

We kindly ask you to start releasing a portable version.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best wishes.

I am on medical marijuana and I cannot use the site because email says I needs a new browser. Without this new browser I cannot get anything from the Medical Marijuana. Everything from the state goes through the email system. There Is a problem with my medical card. It is not working. I have been trying for over a week to get the code I need to open the site and order a new card. I was told that the fasted way to do this is to go through Lost or Stolen card. Cannot get where I need to go because of my email needs a new browser. I am on loop and cannot get off the merry-go-round without help, so please help me.

When I tried to go through, google wanted me to use a new address. bonniegeo346, however [email removed]@ gmail works. Does it matter which I use?

Initially, firefox denies my profile registered with version 129 (probably) because current version is 130 in this new computer. I succeed in turning back partly to 129 but probably without some files necessary for snap. The profile is OK but firefox works wrong. Updates are no longer possible and Ubuntu proposes to migrate towards version 24.04 LTS. Is either the good way or an other solution exists ? Thanks to best hint.
