Second time asking for help: Firefox "hangs" for 30-60 seconds the first time I open it on my MacBook Pro. Am running Firefox 148.0 (aarch64) on Mac OS Tahoe 26.3.1. This has been going on for three months. Have tried uninstalling Firefox and using AppZap to erase my Mozilla profile from the Mac -- rebooting the Mac -- and re-downloading a fresh copy of Firefox. I shut the Mac down for about an hour, rebooted, and Firefox launched right away. But the next time I launched Firefox on reboot, it "hung" again. Spinning beach ball for about 45 seconds before it then opened its default page at open. I do not run a VPN, and disabled some Safe Browsing "features" of Intego Virus Barrier.I tried to eliminate any other third-party extensions from my Firefox that might cause the delay. Am attaching an image of the extensions Firefox currently uses on the Mac. I absolutely <loathe> Safari, but can't have my Mac use Firefox as a default browser if it "hangs" on first launch. One last thing. Early on in the process, I tried deleting my Mozilla Firefox User Profile, but Firefox refused to start because it couldn't find a profile to launch with. So did not go there on this last attemt. Thanks in advance.

I am using Firefox 148.0 and Mac Tahoe 26.3.1.

When I click on a link in an email, two Firefox windows open. The window to the link opens, along with my homepage window, so two windows are opening in Firefox instead of just the one containing the link address. This is happening when using Thunderbird. However, I have tested this using Apple Mail and Outlook, and the same problem occurs. This problem happens whether I have Firefox already open or not. I have opened the email links with Firefox running in Troubleshoot / Safe mode and the problem persists. I have also cleared Firefox cache / site data / history and the problem concerning email links is still there. This problem arose after installing Firefox 148.0.

Anyone able to help solve this problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this report.

when I click a url link from mail it opens a new firefox window instead of a new tab on existing window. I like to keep all tabs in one open firefox window. Firefox crashed last night and lost all of my tabs; I was able to restore but now having issues with email url links opening in a stand-alone new window - HOW do I revert to former option?

I use Firefox on a Mac to access Brightspace for my classes. I also use Grammarly. When copying text from the Grammarly widgets and pasting it into the Brightspace HTML editor, the text is stripped of hard returns, causing paragraphs to collapse without any breaks between them.

I have tried pasting as unformatted text, and the issue persists. This issue does not occur in Chrome, so I suspect it is due to how Firefox handles clipboard data. I have not found a workaround or resolution for this.

Topic is Extensions. How do we get an extension to be recommended by Mozilla? Maybe we can upvote to do this.

"Gmail Conversation Reversal" - likely the first one with the most reviews and most recently updated. SS attached.

Thanx

This is the most annoying behavior. For the most time I would like to use panel once or twice a day to ask some question to continue on conversation in some chat but whenever I close the AI chat-bot panel it resets its context and throws me onto the default page of the provider of my choosing. I have to click my way into the proper chat every time. Could a chat-bot panel keep its context or keep it session at the place where I left it?

I have found in the settings where it looks like I can increase the font size to better see and read my emails, but it does not affect what I have.

How to increase font size to make reading easier?

Hello Again that white stripe at the top of the screen is back this PM: I refreshed firefox yesterday and it solved until now: have carried out the dirty dozen: updated FF yes, clear cache yes etc.

Can anyone help me in layman terms: I checked safari and it was OK there. would prefer FF : I use (have done so since its inception) DuckDuckGo as my home page .

Thank you

I was able to use Firefox for Animoto then for some unknown reason my project disappeared. I can access on Safari. When I try to open Animoto.com in Firefox a page comes up with My Projects page plus Animoto's Create a video and that is all that shows, the page is inactive. Same when I try to log in to my account. My computer is MacBook Pro Tahoe 26.3. I would be very grateful for a solution.

Hi there,

I'm having a strange issue with a website I use for crypto trading. On Firefox the page layout looks broken and some sections overlap or don't load correctly.

The site is paribu.com https://www.paribu.com . When I open the same page in Chrome everything looks normal and the layout loads properly.

I tried refreshing and disabling a few extensions but the issue still happens in Firefox. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might cause this?

Thanks.

Hey friends, n00b questions - how do I allow pop ups on a website again?

I accidentally clicked too fast and clicked to not allow pop ups again on a site I need a window to pop up.

I went to settings to make an exception for the website, but it still does not work.

Any help please?
