Firefox Community Forum

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.

Hello, I am currently using windows 11 with firefox 149.0. Regardless of what website I use (youtube. steam etc), the browser struggles to establish consistent connection to my bluetooth earbuds. It connects for one moment, but then soon the volume goes out and eventually it disconnects. Though it would reconnect soon, the cycle just keeps ongoing. I have experimented with other apps and browsers, as well as multiple bluetooth earbuds of other brands to be sure that it is a firefox issue. I have checked the volume mixer menu to ensure that there is nothing wrong. I have also made sure that my drivers are all up to date with no issue. But the issue still persists.

I thanks you for giving me the ability to use use firefox wihtout AI (by turning it off in the setting, you did it, love you, love you, love you), so really I can't use AI, I don't use regular trnslation that AI enable like google traduction, and chatgpt etc.., I see from my use of them start, the soft skills go very below, they really kill my soft skills I am trying to avoid them as much as possible, and thank you for giving me a choise,

Title: [Source Map Loader] Worker crash due to unhandled JSON.parse error on non-JSON/HTML responses in fetchSourceMap.js

Description:

When fetching source maps in a worker context, fetchSourceMap.js occasionally encounters an unexpected non-JSON response (such as an HTML error page or 404 response starting with ). This causes an unhandled JSON.parse exception at line 83 (_fetch), crashing the source map consumer.

Stack Trace: Plaintext

Source map error: Error: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data Stack in the worker: parseSourceMapInput@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/util.js:163:15 _factory@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:1069:22 SourceMapConsumer@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:26:12 _fetch@resource://devtools/client/shared/source-map-loader/utils/fetchSourceMap.js:83:19

Proposed Patch (fetchSourceMap.js - Line 83): JavaScript

// Replace direct unhandled parse at line 83 with safe parsing: const sourceMap = (() => {

 try {
   const trimmed = responseText ? responseText.trim() : "";
   if (trimmed.startsWith("<") || trimmed.startsWith("
})();

Is there any documented way our I.T department can disable the ability to connect to or even see the Firefox VPN that is being rolled out via group policy or another settings method? Firefox is a great asset for our agency but we cannot have users having the ability to bypass our web filtering. If there's not an option currently, could we have the IP's or the servers that it runs off of so we can manually block it in our firewall?

how ... do I turn off enhanced tracking protection because it's breaking everything? I need my security and this is actively preventing me from acquiring the necessary security apps and accounts I need. This is actively making me less safe. It also won't let me get a different browser

Hi, I'm running FF 149.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11. I've used profiles for a while now and on several occassions I've "lost profiles". Currently I have three profiles which I set up and edited the icon and colour associated with each. When I launch FF I see the Profile Manager and can select any of the three and I can create a new profile which shows here. However, once in any one of the FF profiles I don't see the others - by which I mean that when I go via the hamburger lines top right and click on the current profile, the 'other profiles' section is blank. I also cannot edit the profile from using the edit pencil top right (after clicking the hamburger lines and clicking on the current profile), it takes me to about:editprofile but the page is completely blank. Confusingly, if I go to about:profiles I see two profiles, neither of which shows up in the Profile Manager! I'm going round in circles trying to understand where to edit my exisitng profiles and make sense of the five profiles that don't all show up in the same place!

I have the same issue as this person https://support.mozilla.org/kn/questions/1373153. I HAVE the "Open previous windows and tabs" option on, i also DON'T have the "Clear history and cookies when closing the window" nor "Clear history when Firefox closes" nor "Always use private browsing mode" on so the solution doesn't work for me. Firefox won't open previous tabs when i close the window. However upon restarting my PC i have noticed that when i start up Firefox, my previous tabs are opened. So it seems the action of closing the window is doing something to prevent Firefox from opening the previous tabs again.

Firefox just updated a few days ago to version 149.0. Prior to, no issues. Now every time I enter a search term and hit enter. A new tab opens and the page is blank. It only happened after the update. Closing the tab and doing the same thing again opens a new page correctly.

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

am experiencing the 'fresh new look' error pages, and am rather annoyed that the raw response code isn't displayed on the initial error page, and must click 'learn more...' to reveal the underlying response code. how can i return the error code to the initial error page and avoid the unnecessary extra click to get at that info?

(ps. i can assure you that by obscuring this basic piece of info, it definitely isn't 'making it clearer what went wrong', despite what the 149.0 patch notes claim)

Hello. I am trying to start using Mozilla VPN, I linked my account, but afterall, it refuses to connect. It just say, that he "couldn't connect to VPN", it doesn't even mark the reason or gives some feedback. In settings it still offer to get started, despite i've already added account and it should work. What could be causing this? P.S. I have already relaunched a browser:)

up until this latest version you could delete your search history with a simple right click. This option no longer exists and there is no easily found way to delete "Search History" where did it go? will it be returned? is Search History no longer delete able?
