I use passkeys for many online services, they are stored in my Android phone. I use the same Firefox version on two Win 10 Enterprise LTSC 21H2 machines and one Win 11 Pro 25H2 machine. On the Win 10 machines QR passkeys don't work with Firefox, but work with other browsers. Firefox suggests USB-device-based passkey logon only. On the Win 11 machine Firefox offers both phone-generated QR passkey and USB-device-based passkey logon options. Why Firefox doesn't support phone-generated QR passkey on Win 10? Can it be changed in config?

Attached you can see two screenshots from the same Win 10 PC. No phone-stored passkey option in Firefox.

My Firefox auto updated to version 158.0 the other morning and since then, the Twitch video player fails to work. I'll try to watch a stream, but the video player will stay black with a constant "buffering" icon. There was no issue the night prior, before my browser updated.

I've tried watching Twitch on another browser and had no issues.

I am using FF 158 on Win11

I noticed that apps after login are being restored with my previous session even if i close the browser and restart the browser!

ways to reproduce the problem: - Login to an app - Exit the browser, ensure the Firefox.exe is not running using Task Manager - Restart the browser and go to the same app URL. - At this point I expect the app to prompt for a password again (It does prompt for a login on Chrome and other browsers including FF 154) however on FF 158 the session is still active!

I have checked the settings in FF 158 and disabled the restore Tabs option on startup however the bug still exists.

This is a serious security issue. Kindly investigate and address

Firefox freezes some seconds or some minute after I open the program, I end task and wait to reopen the program, opening up the program it continues to freeze. I've reset firefox multiple times, cleared cache & webdata, completly uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, doesn't solve it. Starting firefox in troubleshooting mode also freezes and hangs. After end tasking firefox multiple times it eventually stops freezing but during the next day when I open the browser the issue returns, The same goes after I reinstalled it after uninstalling it, works for the rest of the day but the next day the issue returns. Background: I switched from chrome to Firefox some months ago and imported webdata from chrome to FF.

Hi,

I have a password in Saved Passworts with cryptic symbols, that I can't delete or edit with the usual buttons. How can I delete this password?

Thx in advance Martin

Hello. I am back again with the same issue that I presented on the forum post three months ago. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1594903?utm_campaign=questions-reply The difference is now it is happening on Firefox v157.0.1;everything else is identical. Qubes os R4.3.2 with Firefox 157.0.1 in a Fedora 44 xfce VM. To recap I open one window for Proxmox Datacenter Manager and as soon as I click to sign in Firefox completely disappears. I can open this in Chromium browser and Firefox ESR v.140.17.0 esr perfectly fine. Please consult the original post for all I did to troubleshoot this. I am working with the esr version now but would like to help put this issue to bed. Community members stepped up last time to help me so I am here to do my small part for others. Ask for any info you need and I'll reply ASAP. Thanks in advance. SDS

Hello,

I use Firefox on Windows 11 and it is up to date. I use Youtube and for the last week or so it has been a little weird. You cannot click on links for videos to load. Youtube will tell me that I am off line even though the PC is connected to the internet.

The comments underneath are not displayed at all. I only see grey bars and the circle for loading.

If you click on the 3 bars on the top left I only get a message about copy rights....

I did delete all the cookies, history, refreshed.

Youtube does display o.k. in edge.

Is this a problem with Firefox or youtube?

Every time I try to access a website using my bookmarks, they don't work, i.e., nothing happens. I have tried numerous bookmarks to be sure that it is not one or two where the web address has changed. I am considering uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that will over come the issue.

From my point of view Firefox is normally excellent and definitely my browser of choice. So this problem has come as a bit of a surprise.

Firefox has exceeded all previous mess-ups by upgrading itself today (apparently sometime when my battery went flat and was then left recharging), and this happened despite my account being set for 'upgrades to be only installed manually'. Now every bookmark, all passwords and all the settings of my Home Page have been erased. I have no 'restore point' to resort to as supposedly all this info is synced to the cloud. But I can find no method to retrieve any of these files let alone one to restore them. This is a nightmare. Please help.

Firefox updated without my knowledge, and all my data, including passwords and bookmarks, disappeared. My profiles still exist, but everything else is gone. I couldn't recover my data manually or through about:profiles. When I first opened Firefox and saw that everything was missing, I was prompted to import from Chrome and did so, so now I'm wondering if that messed things up. I just want my passwords back!!

Every time there is an update, Firefox creates a new profile and hides all passwords etc. It is therefore impossible to work with it now. With 157 I now have a worthless Firefox, because all links, passwords, settings etc have been cleared and a new profile has been created.
