Hi Mozilla Community,

With the rapid growth of local AI, I am interested in how we can better utilize local models—specifically via tools like Ollama or LM Studio—within the Mozilla ecosystem.

Given Mozilla's core commitment to privacy and user agency, using local LLMs seems like a perfect fit for:

Privacy-preserving browser assistants: Using Firefox extensions to interact with local endpoints (e.g., localhost:11434 for Ollama). Local content analysis: Summarizing or analyzing web pages without sending sensitive data to third-party cloud providers. WebGPU research: Exploring how local inference can be integrated more deeply into the browser experience. Are there any ongoing projects or planned features that would allow users to connect their local AI endpoints to Firefox? Or is there a recommended community-driven way to implement this via extensions?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this direction.

Since Firefox automatically updated (14.0.1) on my MacBook Air (2025 model) several weeks ago, the Bookmarks and History functions haven't worked. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

So far hate new Firefox that I have been forced to switch to - very annoying and such a waste of my time trying to sort out my bookmarks. May make me switch to Edge or something.

Followed the instructions - C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - found a backup but no information as to how to get the bookmarks into the new Firefox?????

Many of us are older users and perhaps not so savvy as to how to do this.

And so it would have been nice if Firefox could have been more "nice and be specific" with this forced change over.

Thank you

I want to use Firefox password manager. The Mozilla page says to go to the menu bar three horizontal lines. However, the menu bars do not appear when I am in Firefox. What can I do to reach it. I am on an iPad

Using Facebook thru Firefox. On each article, dates under sender are just a long string of numbers and letters. I tested it under Edge and it is working as it should. Example: from/title - Walmart Finds Date - dsroeptnSouauuf15fec412m0501u7aa1pu5m0hndu6g1fog1lsiircgoSf5 ·

How do I get just a regular date or time as I was getting until this afternoon.

For the last 2-3 day I have been experiencing a box that asks for my signature each time I go to a new website. I can't move the box. I can't screenshot it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

Firefox doesn’t spell‑check in Copilot because Copilot uses a modern custom text editor that Firefox doesn’t recognize as a normal typing area. Since Firefox never turns its spell‑checker on in this kind of editor, nothing actually fails, so there’s no error code or message. The spell‑checker engine simply never activates. For this to work, Firefox would need to update its spell‑checker so it can handle newer web‑based editors instead of only traditional text boxes.

I am attempting to locate the "manage containers" option on the container drop down menu but it is not there. I have read several other threads and have tried cntrl+ about:config "which did not have a false option" clicking right, and then maybe left and every which way I could click, but nothing. The drop down menu does not move so as to reposition and possibly find what I can't find. I do have my scaling pretty high, I wonder if that could be the problem. Any help would be appreciated, you know how we like to change these kinds of options.

Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

Setup: macOS Tahoe (26.4) and Firefox 149.0

=

Behavior: Out of the blue this morning, every website I try to visit in Firefox returns "Looks like there’s a problem with this site". Every other browser works fine.

Things I've tried, that haven't fixed it: - Ruled Out DNS: Sites like 1.1.1.1 and my home router's IP return the same issue in Firefox, but also resolve in any other browser. - Firefox Safe Mode: no fix - Deleted All Settings, Reinstalled Fresh: - Removed the Firefox App, deleted:

       - ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox
       - ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla
       - ~/Library/Caches/Firefox

...and then downloaded and installed 149.0 fresh. - Refreshed Firefox (via [link] - about:preferences (toggled between FALSE and TRUE, testing each time) via this YouTube video

- network.dns.disableIPv6

- network.dns.disablePrefetch
- network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS
- network.dns.disable

....and in desperation, I checked my Mac for Malware (clean)

I'm at a complete loss: every other browser works, but Firefox is a 100% fail for all websites. Any thoughts?

I set the bookmarks toolbar to show in new tabs only. If I then press Ctrl-Shift-B in any tab I lose the functionality of having the toolbar show exclusively in new tabs. It either shows in all tabs or in none, depending on the number of times I press Ctrl-Shift-B.

Firefox has been my browser of choice for well over 20 years. I have a game I play every day (from FaceBook) just this week when I try to go to it on my laptop - it says your browser does not support WebGL. it has always opened using Firefox - this is a new error message. and the computer is only 5 months old and has Windows 11 on it. I do not want to switch to Google or Edge.

Like I said - opening the app worked every day up until about a week ago. What gives?
