I believe I got an automatic update to Version 154.0 yesterday on my Windows 11 laptop. When I opened Firefox after the update I got stuck

My Bookmarks appear to still be available, but my passwords are gone. The passwords are still available on my iPhone and iPad

I have tried syncing to no avail.

I need my passwords. How can I get them back?

Currently, when I close and then re-open firefox, the browser VPN turns off, and I have to turn it on again. I would like it so that it automatically starts with the VPN on when I open my browser. How can I make this happen?

"every time I try to start Firefox (after it has been shut down for say?15 minuets, may be less ) it just hangs up and will not open my main home page. If I open another browser, Brave or Microsoft they go directly to my home page. If I log off my computer and then back on to my computer then the Firefox browser will open up my main home page. I have no idea what I have done to make this act this way.

I am using FF Private browser for sensitive pages that I don't want tracked by my add-ons. However, a major annoyance is how stored passwords seem to be handled. E.g., when I try to login, and say I have 3 stored logins (all for the same URL), then FF private only offers one of them (chosen at random it seems), hiding the 2 others. Why does it do that? It just seems monumentally stupid and is a major usability hindrance. Tracking protection OK, but if this is the result then why bother. It makes the browser unusable.

When I download an update and restart firefox, it opens a https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnew/ tab. I want it to not do this.

I turned off my HP computer with Windows 11 on August 1. Everything was working fine at that time. When I turned it on again on August 18, everything worked except email. I can get email on my iphone, but not on my computer. I spent over an hour trouble-shooting with someone representing my email server, tds.net, with no resolution. I tried to access my email thru Firefox, my usual browser, as well as thru Edge. The message I get when trying to access my tds email is: "The connection has timed out. The server at mail.tds.net is taking too long to respond." I then went to an IT specialist who tried everything he could, including disabling Bitdefender, and nothing worked. I then tried to open an email account with gmail.com and received this message: "The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox can’t connect to the server at accounts.google.com." I don't know what else to try. Everything I read said the it is likely a problem with my anti-virus software, but the problem still exists when that is turned off. Is there anything else I can try???

The problem is illustrated in the first image attached: Google Maps shows no image, just solid black. This does not occur in browsers other than Firefox.

After restarting my laptop, the same problem persists, but on first going to the Google Maps website the usual image of my neighborhood flashes, then disappears to be replaced by the black.

The second attached image shows four possible causes and fixes offered by Google AI. I tried them all, and nothing made any difference. This image also shows that the thumbnail image appears when my cursor hovers over the tab in which Maps is open.

The only thing out of the ordinary I did before this problem occurred was browsing the Firefox Extensions on advice of Google AI to turn off the intrusive "Genius" AI pop-ups, but I didn't discover anything relevant and I don't think I made any changes.

I'd welcome any suggestions for what to try next,

One of my "Login required" sites (Call it Site One) is prompting me with a username when I click into the Username entry box. Unfortunately, the username it's prompting me for is from "Site Two".

I have never saved a username for Site One. The username it's prompting me with is from a completely different domain name, Site Two.

I searched Usernames/passwords and found only one occurrence for the username it is prompting with. It's properly listed under the correct Site Two. I deleted it anyway to test. That made no difference: it still appears in the drop down for Site One (after restarting Firefox).

Just to be clear: Site One has no stored usernames or passwords. I've never stored a username or password for Site One. I have done so for Site Two (but again, that's now deleted). Yet this username, which is now not stored anywhere in Firefox, is still appearing as a prompt for Site One.

Lastly, this is not a new issue. This problem dates back months.

I'm just trying to figure out how I can tell if my up-to-date version of Firefox is actually using its own VPN. It said it would when I installed it, but I can find anything that says, yes, it's running.

why did firefox delete most of my shortcuts on my old pc after i synced with my new laptop and how do i get them back. I am a senior of 71 yrs not a computer tech.this just screwed everything up for me!HELP!!

Website (Carvana) wants me to post a photo of an odometer in a car I want to sell to them, and a photo of my drivers license. I don't know how to do this, but do have photos in my cellphone. How do I transfer the photos to the website? .

None of the topics seemed to match my issue so I selected "Browse".

In FF 153.0.1 on W11 64-bit, after Firefox updated to the latest version my Alt+D does not work. Ctrl+L still works. In Incongnito, Alt+D DOES work. However, in regular browsing it does not work, even after I have disabled all of my extensions. I don't know why it's not working or what I could do from my end to try to get it working.
