Firefox Community Forum

This should be simple. Your site sends a message saying do I want to update MY TABS WILL BE RESTORED. It DOES NOT say I need to go through history and check forums and consult outside parties. I'll keep this in mind the next time a silly tedious update comes around.

When I open Firefox, the profile I open with will open perfectly normally to version 153.0.4 and says it is up to date. However, if I open a different profile, that one will say it "Firefox is being updated by another instance". I can quit the app and change which profile I open first, and that profile will be 'up to date', and the other one will be 'being updated'.

I already went through quitting all pending tasks in task manager and restarting my device, as well as deleting and redownloading the app. This is really slowing down my processing speed while I work! Please help. I really don't want to lose my profiles.

A couple of weeks ago all of my bookmarks disappeared from my profile. The toolbar is empty and when I click manage bookmarks, the entire interface is blank. When I attempt to do the restoration method suggested in the firefox guide, nothing happens when I click the restore button from the drop down. I tried logging out and logging back in, but that didnt help unfortunately. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I have paid for and used Mozilla VPN for some years, The app has now disappeared from my Mac Book and when I try to reload it from the website it states "error" and will not reload.

when i go to my website on firefox it says "Secure Connection Failed" but it loads fine on safari. i've never seen it do this before. Is this a firefox issue?

full error message: Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Error Code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

how do i fix this?

This is not a huge issue but it is irksome. Why do the all the bookmarks in the toolbar justify left? Also, there are no UI options in the settings to change the justification. Most browsers center all the bookmarks in the toolbars. Surely this wouldn't be too hard to change, would it?

I moved and when I restarted my computer in the location, I had lost all my bookmarks. The note said foxfire is in use by another application. What other application and why did it destroy my bookmarks?

Why can i not just go to a specific place block a bloody website that has stolen money off me through dishonesty? I just want to block them without the drama. Why do all developers make things impossible to navigate with 1 million steps to achieve anything I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP!

TL;DR: I am dumb, but not an idiosyncratic web browser user, and it was too easy for me to accidentally permanently delete all of my browser data. Deleted profiles should be moved into system trash when deleted, not rm'd entirely.

I have never used "profiles" and somehow, after updating firefox, seemed to have created one. I have no interest in using the feature, and therefore went to delete the new profile and disable the feature. Somehow, I instead deleted the profile I had implicitly been using all along. I clicked too hastily through the warning about deleting files, because it simply did not occur to me that deleting something related to this net-new feature should clear all of my *old* data. My goal was to restore the experience I've had in firefox for years (without profiles), but because I failed to adapt to the new feature, I lost everything instead.

I apologize for maybe shouting into the void about this, but I am posting on the off chance that this will reach someone who's involved in the implementation of these features and can save some other dumb person like me from making the same dumb mistake. It's quite painful to suddenly lose years of accumulated bookmarks, extensions, history, etc. The easiest and least intrusive solution would be to always move profiles into system trash when they are deleted, and never permanently delete them.

Hi, I was a heavy user of the multi-account containers extension. Since FF now has that functionality built in I disabled the extension recently (more than a week ago). My company keeps FF up to date - currently on 153.0.3 aarch64

All tests have been performed with other extensions (ublock origin and auto-reader view) disabled.

Since the last update (last wednesday I think, 5th. Aug.) I've been unable to access the AWS or Azure portals from a container tab, though it works correctly from the 'bare' browser.

I've cleared cookies and site data for the whole browser (made no difference)

I've cleared cookies and site data for the container tab - this now allows me to sign into Azure (which is a prerequisite to signing into AWS), but AWS is still blocked with a microsoft message "We cannot sign you in, try a different user name"

If I use the bare browser, no container, I can sign into the AWS SSO portal correctly.

What can I check to help diagnose this? MacOS Tahoe 26.6.1 Firefox 153.0.3
