Firefox Community Forum

I do not save all attachments to my received email. It used to be that when I received an email with a attachment I could choose to open or download to a particular file. Now my only choice is to download the file which happens automatically as soon as I click on the attachment. I am using Windows 11 and read my email while it remains on the ACENTEC website. That seems to be a good security move. The email never is downloaded into my computer and remains accessible from any of the several computers I use.

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

To be honest, I never really pay attention to the Downloads history manager in Firefox, until pretty recently, out of curiousity while looking some random files that weren't there (which is another topic, but not my focus in this Support question). So, checking the Downloads history, I realized that I had a few archives (they were majorly image-type files, and they weren't many, maybe just 10-15 distributed in three months as I don't download much nowadays) that were marked down as "failed", for some reason.

But, I go to my desktop's Downloads folder and, well, no one of these files looked like they had errors or similar (I opened them up in Paint, in the Photos? app from Windows 11, and I even opened them up in Firefox and I ran the antivirus on them, just to be sure they were fine). So, I decided to download "copy" files and, although, they now appeared as complete ("fine", "good") in the Downloads history manager, when opening them and contrasting them, I didn't see any kind of difference between the original file and the new one, they even shared the same property data and they looked the same, so, everything looked fine to me.

These past few days I decided to observe the history manager a little more cautiously to see that every file I downloaded and/or saved were fine and complete (with the "X KB - download url link - time/day"), before I logged out from the session. But, early today I got slightly worried, so I opened Firefox again, and surprisingly, a few of the files I downloaded the previous session that were "complete", now were marked down as "failed" (it's a shame I couldn't screenshot them to indicate visual examples, but it really took me off guard when I digged up the history again).

Is this a bug or something?

I am a newbie when using Firefox as a browser, so this is the kind of things that intrigue me, because I also tend to open the private browser sessions and, for obvious reasons, I don't have access to the downloads list from them after I close the private window, and I imagine it would be the same situation in very normal circumstances if I used a normal browser window. So, basically, I want to know if this is a bug or something, because now you are leaving quite curious and worried that even any other of those files might have some errors or something, as well. This has NEVER happened to me with other browsers (like Chrome), if a file I saved, downloaded wrong - it downloaded wrong and I could even have a temp file in my Downloads folder - this is NOT the case.

(Btw - two things. This is an English translated version of the post I just did in Spanish for the Spanish-speaking language community, and I guess I wanted it to have a larger reach. Hopefully it is okay to do so. Also, although I indicate that my current Firefox version is the 134.0 version that got updated yesterday, January 8th, 2025, this happened before the launch of the updated version. I hope that I selected the right topic to describe this issue because I'm not sure how to describe it? It looks like a bug to me, I tried to look out for similar problems related to Downloads, but some of them do not apply to me (all my files do download, appear as downloaded in my desktop folder as well, and they do not seem to have any other issues, except for this thing in the Downloads history manager that I describe in the whole post)

EDIT: I tried to do a test, and lo and behold. I have screenshots that exemplify what I mean (more or less): these were the files I saved/downloaded before I closed the Firefox window, hence closing the session. The first is how they appeared in the Downloads panelm the second in the history manager window and the third one shows that one of the files I had to "download" again (although it's a copy from the original) because it appeared as it "failed" when I opened the Firefox window again (started a new session), and opened the Downloads history manager window.

Installed newest version of Windows 11 and now no tabs will load on browser and all show as crashed. Have uninstalled, reinstalled, refreshed and tried all I could and no changes. Would love any help.

Every single time I try to sign into Google, Firefox freezes after I type about 4 letters into the user name box. Hangs and I have to restart. Every. Time. I have to switch over to Chrome to log into Google. It's a real pain in the butt. Anyone else having issues?

While in ProCore I will open the drawings and Firefox will present it correctly with the markups tools. After 2 or 3 drawings the markups box will no longer show up. I have to go to Firefox settings and delete the cache, restart ProCore and the drawings will go back as they should be.

I updated to 133.0.3 just now and Firefox will not load any pages in new tabs. The only tabs I have open are the ones that were open when the application restarted with the update. For example, I could not open https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/133.0.3/WINNT/en-US/firefox-help to report this bug because it was not already open (I am reporting to you using Brave). This is happening in both new tabs and new windows.
