Firefox just updated to Ver. 150, with an announcement tab telling about Firefox VPN. There is no invitation to set up, and no VPN logo. Neither is there one in the Customize Toolbar panel.

What now?

helloooo

i am experiencing an issue with firefox where backup (Firefox Backup) is not working since version 148.0

problem: - when I try to create a backup, i get the error: “Hmm, there was a problem with the backup. Please try again in a few minutes.”

what I have already tried: - enabled and disabled backup password - changed the backup folder/location - cleared browser cache - tested across multiple updates (issue persists)

- backup is enabled, but I cannot create one - the error occurs every time - restarting the browser and system did not help

Please forgive me if this question was already answered and that I might have accidentally overlooked that answer.

I'm running Firefox 144.0 (64-bit) under Debian 13 (linux).

I want to configure Firefox to never restore any previous session when it starts up, irrespective of how Firefox was last exited.

Even if a running Firefox session was externally killed via some sort of system command or because of a reboot, I never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVER (!!!) want it to restart in any previous session.

I ALWAYS (!!!) want Firefox to launch with its default start page, no matter what.

I tried all of the suggestions that I have found on line about how this might be accomplished, but with each one of them, there are cases where the previous session was restored.

I repeat, I do NOT (!!!) EVER (!!!) want the previous session to be restored, under any circumstances.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again, please accept my apology if this has been answered and I overlooked that answer.

I let my Firefox update not even an hour ago. I went to right click and copy some text and the menu is now BLANK expect for "Search Google". I copy and paste in the browser A LOT. I need this fixed. Next time you guys push out an update I'm going to ignore it.

After the last update on my desktop browser, my password was requested in order to "install a new helper tool." But it isn't accepting my password, even after I double checked what it was. And there's no Change Password link.

Since I can still access the Firefox browser on my iPhone, I thought of I'd change my password there and sync, but the new password isn't accepted either. Once a password isn't accepted, pressing cancel closes the app and it can't be reopened without a Force Quit first.

And 'round and 'round I go. How do I regain access to my desktop browser?

Thanks.

Hi On my laptop when I try to connect to Gmail or any Google site, I always arrive at the help page This happens only on FIREFOX, works fine on EDGE , or on my home computer??? Thanks for your help

Regardless of Windows version and (as far as I can tell) Firfox version, password manager will not usefully store any password that begins or ends with and exclamation mark. It reveals only the exclamation mark itself when password is used.

Today Firefox has suddenly started using ~20% of my CPU capacity, causing my cooling fan to run high most of the time. Since I had been running Firefox v.149.latest, I tried updating to v.150.0, but that made no difference.

It's not Firefox by itself (only Task Manager open) but whenever I open another tab with almost any website (including this one) that CPU usage spikes. What gives?!

Details: Running under Windows 10 Pro (yes, I have installed the ESU package, good until thi8s fall) on a Lenovo P1 Gen 2. Currently running Firefox inside a Sandboxie Pro v1.17.4 sandbox.

Hello

After update to FF 150.0 I have an issue I can't solve myself. My old theme that I was using for many, many years changed colours, because now frame colour corresponds to whatever FF uses dark theme or light theme for some panels like bookmarks, bookmarks editor e.t.c ( I assume it). So if frame is dark all other elements switch to dark mode. I`m looking for a way to change it back to how it was before FF 150.0, meaning if frame is dark I want all rest element of FF to become light themed. For instance: in manifest.json if "frame": "rgb(31, 34, 60)", everything else turn dark if "frame": "rgb(131, 134, 160)", everything else turns light Default themes won't work for me ( v.bad eyesight ) Is there any entry I can add to manifest.json to get what I want? I mean: if "frame": "rgb(31, 34, 60)", I need everything to use LIGHT themed colours.

I have a Mac that you are threatening not to serve any more. I read about your Extended download. If I do not download this Firefox Extended upgrade, does this mean that my Mac will not be able to browse and read web pages, etc., or will I not be able to open any URLs?

Also, I am having problems with some downloads in Acrobat not displaying the proper font type and size and kerning, but it downloads and prints those documents in the right dimensions. Is this a Firefox problem or an Acrobat problem or a computer problem?

I should mention that I am just about out of memory on this old computer and do not wish to add more downloads at this time, until I can get some memory cleared out, which might take me awhile.

Hello,

For few days, it's impossible to connect to FACEBOOK. I have the latest version of FIREFOX, but I have to use another web browser (EDGE) to connect to FACEBOOK. The problem is the same with my two computers with the latest WINDOWS.

Thank you for your help to solve my problem

I HAVE A HOME PAGE WITH ICONS. BUT WHEN I OPEN FOXFIRE NOW I GET A HOME PAGE WITH ONE ICON TO ADD MORE ICONS. HOW DO I GET FOXFIRE TO OPEN MY HOME PAGE? WHAT IS GOING ON? THE FIRST PHOTO IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE AND THE SECOND IS WHAT COMES UP WHEN I OPEN FOXFIRE.

I installed the VPN yesterday and now have a message from Microsoft stating there is unusual activity on my account - different IP address (IP address: 63.245.216.65) and the location being in the US not the UK. Is this because of the VPN?

I was in contact with Bitdefender Support and they suggested the following:

If Facebook still won't open, open Bitdefender and:
  - Go to Protection > Online Threat Prevention > Settings.
  - Turn OFF "Encrypted Web Scan" temporarily.
  - Now reload Facebook in Firefox.

Afterwards, I also had to click on "Messenger" to get all my contacts.

This is temporary since before FF 150, Bitdefender ran with "Encrypted Web Scan", and I had no problem in loading Facebook. So something that changed in FF 150 conflicts with Bitdefender's "Encrypted Web Scan".

Firefox recently updated on my Windows 11 desktop. As of yesterday (4/24/2026) and possibly earlier after typing www.facebook.com in the URL input space and hitting enter, no results at all.
