MacOS Tahoe 26.7.1 Firefox Ver 157.0 My download preferences are ignored and downloads go directly to download folder without asking. All downloads have a .part extension even after download is complete. I tried trouble shooting mode and then added a new profile but the problem happens in all instances.

Whenever I open Firefox on my MacBook Air and attempt to search via Google, I receive the following message from Google with a Captcha request to verify that I am not a robot. "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending this request." This does not happen in Safari nor when i use Google on my iPad or iPhone - all of which use the same IP address. I have refreshed Firefox and it is on the latest version. This started about two weeks ago. There is no malicious software on my computer. I have cleared all cookies and browsing history. Help!

After a recent update my bookmarks toolbar appears blank. It is shown, but empty. When I go to the bookmarks menu I find all of the bookmarks shown as being on my bookmarks toolbar. How do I get them back where they belong?

When I watch YouTube videos, Firefox behaves strangely. After a few minutes of watching, I try to scroll to the comments, and then Firefox starts to lag. Scrolling becomes very sluggish, and the entire image freezes while scrolling. The website stops responding, but the sound continues. The only way to fix this is to minimize and then maximize Firefox. Then I can scroll again and the problem starts again. This problem occurs regardless of whether I clear the cache, use an ad blocker, or which screen I'm using Firefox on. Sometimes, one of my screens even freezes and displays stripes. However, this only happens when I'm using Firefox and YouTube. I have no problems with any other applications for exampmple playing games on one screen and let music streaming app playing on the other screen. Even my Cubase 15 work like sweet on booth screens without errors. Why is firefox acting so strange? Firefox never completly stops or closed itself.

Firefox Version 157.0 (64-bit). AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.8.1. Windows 11, version 26H2 installed October 1, 2026 (previous updates also had the same issue with firefox).

I also got some Firefox Updates when i opened it. I was hoping they catched the issue but it seems like the same.

Have a great day :)

I have a bookmark which I use regularly but, with the new version of Firefox, I get the error message NS_ERROR_NET_EMPTY_RESPONSE. I can access the webpage OK on my iPhone. The website is :- http://rasp.stratus.org.uk/app/viewer.php

When I click on the link to a PDF to open it in Firefox and click on the Save icon in the file viewing UI (see attached image pdf-save-icon.png) to save it to my local device, no File Save dialog box opens and nothing happens.

If I right click on the link to the file instead of opening the file, the file is saved silently to the Downloads folder with a name that ends in .pdf.part (see attached image filename.png). That typically indicates a partial, failed download, but in this case, if I remove the .part from the filename, the result is a viable PDF.

HI All Recently purchased a laptop and want to have FF sync with my desk top. I am signed in to both devices with the same account and have checked all settings on both and they are identical. Why are they not syncing?

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

Hi, I have an old MacBook I installed Firefox on because I prefer it for the privacy and UI But I ran into issues loading some webpages after a while using it. not the first day but returning to it today. I can google things but as soon as I click on any results it just loads forever and never finishes. for context I have a MacBook Pro 2012 I believe with Mac Catalina 10.15.7 running on it and I can't get any further updates. I was looking and it said use rosetta, but nothing comes up when I try to open rosetta for Firefox like its saying it would.

In my Settings, the browser's fallback language is set to Portuguese, without giving me any other language choice, nor leaving it blank. I assume this is the reason I keep seeing menus, notifications, etc., randomly popping up in Portuguese.

I have not been able to easily access my bookmarks easily like before. I have multiple bookmarks by category, but there does not seem to be a way to access the different categories currently. I have Windows 11. I have the most current firefox browser I think. I did find from searching support that I could type Ctrl Shift O and scroll down which gives a long list to try to access them, but that is very cumbersome and slow. Do I have to do that every time I want to go to specific bookmarks? The bookmarks that show on the overflow or near the top of the screen are not useful, but the ones I use every day cannot be accessed easily, but are way down a long list. Why is the current version hiding all the bookmark categories?
