Firefox 138.03 Windows 11 Pro

I have had this issue for previous versions of FF and in Windows 10.

I have set FF to save in d:\downloads but to always ask. It does ask and I then direct it to the specific folder that I want to the save the file to be downloaded in. I change the name of the file and FF saves the file to that folder. However, FF also saves a copy of the file, with its original name, in the D:\downloads folder. Is there a way to prevent FF from saving the duplicate file? Thank you

edit. Sorry, I just found others with the same issue. As I understand it, there is no way to prevent FF from saving duplicates.

Firefox closed the browser for an automatic update two days ago, and when it came up back after the update all my open windows and tabs simply disappeared. History tab was reset to a blank page, there was no trace of anything. I tried the access through 'Menu / History / Recently closed windows' or '.../ Recently closed tabs' and they were both blank, empty, zero, nada ... This is the first time it happens to me, and I'm surprised and disappointed that such a predictable and basic bug shows up on an update.

I have a couple dozen tabs I use for task f-ups, it' unproductive and annoying to get them all back up to work. If this happens again I doubt I keep using Firefox as my preferred browser.

1. Anybody else suffering the same issue?
2. Is there a cure for the problem?

I have tried the troubleshooting described on your website. Firefox will not open to a full screen; when I try to use the application it opens, but only to a thumbnail. I cannot use the application. I have tried reinstalling, I have disconnected the second monitor (I am using this on Windows).

After the last couple of Firefox updates, my settings have been automatically changed. This has not happened until recently How can I stop Firefox from changing my settings when it updates? OS is Windows 11. TYIA!

I have 2 computers, both with Linux Ubuntu. All of a sudden one of them is missing the File toolbar. It was there this AM but gone now. I looked through the menu and couldn't find where it is that you add the toolbar. On this computer, which has that toolbar, you go to 'view" and there is an item for toolbar. But on the other there are none of those menus and I can't find where to add that toolbar.

When I enable vertical tabs and set the sidebar to expand on hover, the toolbar icons behave inconsistently. In the collapsed state, the icons are arranged vertically, which is correct. However, as soon as the sidebar expands, they switch to a horizontal layout—making it difficult to click the tool I want. Is there any way to prevent this automatic rearrangement and keep the icons in a vertical column even when the sidebar is expanded?

text appears wierd.i tried reinstalling,disable hardware accel, troubleshooting mode, and lot more. nothing solved this problem. i also have dev edition, but it works PERFECTLY FINE. website texts appear normal,but firefox texts dont. atleast english is readable, different languages(korean,japanese)appear as bunch of boxes and russian, and arabic.

In the last few days, after some minutes of usage, parts of Firefox become unclickable:

- I can still click on tabs to change tabs. - When hovering over the cross button to close a tab, it changes appearance as it should. Clicking the button does nothing. Ctrl+w still closes the button. - Clicking on the address bar does nothing. - Cannot click on back, forward, refresh buttons. - Cannot click on any add-ons. - Cannot click on preferences. - Can click on the button to open a new tab. There, I can enter an address. Once the page has loaded, address bar becomes unclickable again. - Bookmarks toolbar is still working as expected. - Keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t, ctrl-w, ctrl-l) still work as expected.

I'm running ``` Mozilla Firefox 138.0 20250428130755 20250428130755 ```

on Manjaro 25.0.1 with GNOME 48

Dans la soirée du 15 au 16 mai 2024. J'ai consulté ma page "Facebook" et les pages de mes amis. Une page "Fake" été proposée. J'ai voulu alerter la vraie personne suite recherche par "Google". J'ai envoyé un message d'alerte en privé à la vraie propriétaire de la page. Le lendemain, au démarrage de mon pc portable, c'est le "Total Crash". Ransomware? Malware? Je travail maintenant avec un HBCD 1.5.2 PE. Quelqu'un peut-il me proposer une solution? Merci et cordialement votre.

Since the most recent update a few days ago Firefox (on my desktop PC) has been looking and behaving differently. The bookmarks sidebar has disappeared and can't be brought back in its previous form. Selecting Bookmarks toolbar - always show' does nothing. There is no 'Back' arrow to return to a previous screen. I'm finding this new version almost impossible to use. Have I done something wrong? Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox? Regards, Peter
