Firefox Community Forum

I have a MacMini M2 with the current Sonoma os. Firefox has been updated. Frustrating. Yet prime videos won't play and get this notice:

"Mozilla Firefox update required A later version of Mozilla Firefox is required for Prime Video. To update, click the menu button (three horizontal stripes) on the web browser toolbar, click Help, About Firefox, and then click Restart to update Firefox."

When I click on Firefox, the top menu bar is dimmed. When I click on New Tab or New Window, nothing happens. I've downloaded, reinstalled and updated the latest version of Firefox but it doesn't work. I've also clicked Option when opening Firefox. I click Refresh Firefox and it works but when I quit and restart, I'm back to the same problem again.

Yesterday I could open any or all of the downloaded apps on the screen of my Apple laptop. Today, I can't! WHAT IS GOING ON? Being elderly and not very techie (to say the least!), I need simple answers, no jargon please. Is it because my laptop is 'elderly' in tech terms (Catalina 10.15.7) or what? I've used Mozilla most of the time for very many years, but I might swap to Safari or Chrome instead if this isn't sorted out PDQ.

since updating to 132, internet access has deteriorated; frequently having to switch off wifi and switch on again; using macOS Monterey, Version 12.7.6 Regards, John

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, still using maverick's … I tried to upgrade Mozilla and now it doesn’t work.

I am shy of what’s needed to run the latest Firefox version and I’m not able to buy a newer laptop, how can I get restated again with the version that will still work on my MacBook ?.

While my laptop was "aseep" something happened to your service. I was kicked off and told to resign in. I did not remember my password. I was cautioned that my data might be lost. What the hell happened?

We have two Macbook Air computers, both using Firefox. On one of them the cursor no longer works on a particular website. Both laptops have Firefox 301.03.

The website tech help said Firefox was not compatible with their site but the problem is only one of the computers. What could be causing the problem?

Whenever I use Firefox (latest version) on my iMac running latest Sonoma, numbers appear on every web page i visit. If I go into Troubleshoot mode, they disappear. See screen shot attached

The keyboard shortcut to open a private window is not working for me. All other keyboard shortcuts are working, and I can open a private window with the menu. I have tried restarting my computer, updating my computer, and opening Firefox in safe mode, so I am at a loss.

I’ve been using Firefox on my Mac without any issues, but I recently had to erase and reset my Mac. After reinstalling Firefox and attempting to sign in to my account, I am unable to sync my data.

When I click “Sign in” and enter my password, I successfully log in. However, it immediately returns to the message “Please sign in to reconnect,” and I am unable to proceed with syncing.

This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.

On a positive note, I can still see my organized bookmarks on Firefox for iPhone, which were synced from my Mac before the reset.

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

Recently I signed up for a new internet and wifi provider, Xfinity. My house has several devices including 4 TVs, my laptop, and multiple cell phones and they ALL connect to Xfinity. BUT, my main I Mac computer will NOT connect. So I have also been paying for Century Link because I use this computer for work.

I have tried several things and now wonder if Firefox is permitting it to connect (according to my mobile app internet IS connecting to the computer).

Can someone help?

Hi, I was wondering why my cursor cannot be placed properly on the place, take a look at the image, the cursor needs to get lower in order to properly placed on the right window,

please help

I have a new iMac (sonoma): I've migrated previous data to this machine and updated Firefox, but saved passwords are having problems. Some of my paid subscriptions are not letting me sign in, either through saved pws, or doing it manually. A few others seem to work okay. I've tried a few on Safari, where they work, so I suspect I have to change a setting in Firefox. But what? Any advice gratefully received.

This feature has suddenly appeared and I absolutely detest it! I don't need it, don't like it, don't want it! I have searched everywhere on how to disable it. PLEASE tell me there is an option to do that.

Latest update (10/2/24) is impossible to use. How can I get back the prior version for Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Macbook Air?

I have a TBI that really limits my ability to process information. The tabs now have a dropdown that is very confusing and gets in the way of my working. I have to shut Firefox and leave the computer, but of course when I am recovered from the confusion, I come back to the same situation.

I was able to find a way to stop the even-more-frustrating dropdown video preview, but it's not enough.

I have relied on FF for years, but it seem that putting more bells & whistles is more important than providing a functional browser interface. Please explain to me in plain English how to remove the overloaded browser and revert to a version I can utlize without a breakdown.

After the most recent update of FF on Mac OS Sequoia, suddenly I am no longer able to login to either of my routers, because they require http and FF keeps forcing https.

This results in no login gui but instead an ‘unable to connect’ error message.

I have researched and tried every conceivable fix and nothing works (settings, about:config, cookies, cache, all of it.

I would have expected that simply adding exceptions in settings would work, but it simply doesn’t.

I can login via Safari, so this is clearly a FF issue. It even happens in Safe Mode.

Kind of at my wits end. Anyone have a fix.

I want to be able to view inline PDFs in the browser, and download PDFs sent as attachments, without opening them in Firefox. I've searched the forum, tried different combinations of download settings and toggling `browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline` but no dice, either Firefox downloads every file (inline or attached), or it opens the local file in the browser.

I respect that the PDF viewer in Firefox is great, and I want to keep using it when I choose. Right now, I have a download progress that pops up, then the browser becomes unresponsive and switches to the new tab, which is disrupting.

Seems simple but how can I have the following behaviour? - Inline PDF -> view in browser - Attachment -> download without opening in browser
