Firefox 146.0.1 (aarch64) macOS 26.2 (25C56) on M2 Pro

Hello.

I'm dealing with a strange issue that began with Firefox 146.0 and continues with 146.0.1. I previously blocked categories I do not care about such as Parenting, Cooking, and others. When doing so, for some reason some of my followed topics including Sports, NFL and NHL no longer appear along with the rest of the topics I've followed. (Please notice only followed sports-related topics disappeared...)

Checking the settings for Firefox Home shows no blocked topics (even those I have explicitly blocked), and checking what I can think to think via about:config shows me nothing I can edit to get my desired topics back.

So, I'm not sure what to edit to get my missing topics back. If they were blocked because of some bug, i cannot see blocked topics in the Firefox Home settings, so I cannot unblock them if that's what would need to be done. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve it or are you aware of some BugZilla or GitHub issue I can watch for this one?

Any help will be certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The top two toggles in the "location" area of privacy settings are OFF. Greyed out. The rest are also in the off position and greyed out other than "Notify when apps request location" is toggled on. I accidentally said "yes" when it wanted me to share location. (I just started using Firefox last night). Then it opened my "settings" for my computer on it's own and I closed it out quickly as I was working on something important and I cannot have distractions. I did not mess with any toggles or click anywhere else except the big X in the right upper corner. Since I didn't mean to click yes now it is prompting me quite often, every few minutes, to turn the location service on and automatically opens the settings for my laptop to the page "Privacy & Security > Location. How do I get this Madness to stop?

The latest Firefox update 147.0.1 has broken my old 1password filling login fields on MacOS Tahoe 26.2 Apple M1. I have tried backing it out but of course when you try to start the old version it immediately gets into an infinite loop because it insists on updating immediately. It also won't allow it to start with an already updated profile which has automatic updates disabled. Any solutions out there? Thanks for any help.

Since the latest update on 16/01, my search bar history has just not functioned at all.

Remember history is still ticked, however there is no autofill, and no sites are populating in shortcuts unless i add them manually. Basically history is not saving as it should.

I've checked all my settings but there doesn't seem to be anything amiss.

Recently I've noticed that some web sites are displaying text in very washed-out colours or on backgrounds of similar colour to the text. This produces a low contrast ratio and makes the text very hard to read. I tried setting the text colour in Firefox settings, but this seems only to affect text where the web site does not explicitly set a colour. Is there any way to ovcerridethe web site's choice of colour?

Maybe that's at the root of the problem I'm constantly having with my history & bookmarks being unavailable every time Windows updates? The strange thing is that this page shows that Firefox does know I'm using 11.

Hi, 48 hours ago I upgraded firefox 140.5.0(esr) to 140.7.0(esr), and now, 48 hours later, everything suddenly stopped to work and I cannot load pages anymore.

48 hours is the lifetime of my kerberos ticket. After 48 hours firefox should send a new ticket to the applications, but 140.7 doesn't. The ccache in the application is empty!

I downgraded back to 140.5, and immediately everything works again.

Was support for GSSAPI/kerberos/SPNEGO removed between 140.5 and 140.7, and why so? Otherwise, how do I get it to work again?

It would be easier to understand if there was actually a paper size setting, but there isn't. The alternative of changing settings on three different printers to get back to A4 seems ridiculous to me and I don't have 3 printers to circulate among. Why is Mozilla convinced everyone wants Letter size as default? Sorry about the grumps, but there you are.
