I use Primary Passwords on important sites. Since v136 installed this morning, no matter what site I OPEN Firefox to, even search sites, the Primary Password is requested. If Firefox is already opened, if I open the "unimportant" site, no password is requested.

For some reason, IDM will not work in Firefox/DuckDuckGo. even though it worked a couple of weeks ago. I contacted IDM support who have tried everything they have, but no change.

Here is the issue: 1. I open Firefox (Duck Duck Go is my default) (132.0.2 (64-bit) 2. I type "vintage sci fi movies" 3. Click on "videos" 4. Pick any movie (example: The Phantom Planet (black and white but this does not matter) 5. In the Choose How you Watch, I click the left icon - Watch Here, and not Watch on YouTube; also click Remember my choice 6. The movie starts but there is no IDM dialogue 7. If I then click Watch on YouTube inside the movie, it switches to YouTube and the movie starts, AND the IDM dialogue pops up.

As I said, this worked in Firefox/DDG a couple of weeks ago.

IDM version is 6.42 Build 23, full (paid for) version Oct 15 2024 The IDM Integration Module in Firefox shows as Version 6.42.22, last updated Oct 28 2024.

Can you assist please.

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!

They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg

If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg

The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

Last night, firefox just disabled all my addons and all attempts to reinstall any failed with a red warning that everysingle one I had or new to add failed. I tried a few suggestions I found online like refreshing, clearing cash, restarting, but nothing worked.

I have a vwersion 88 (and some change) running on a windows 7 computer.

Any wisdom is highly appreciated.

If I won't be able to fix this, I'll just move on to a different browser after using it everywhere for so many years and it will be sad

Windows 11 23H2 FireFox 136.0.1

When clicking check for updates it firstly shows the rotating arrows icon for a long time and then says "Failed to Check for Updates"

I've completely reinstalled Firefox and this continues to happen

I do not have NordVPN or any other VPN installed

The behaviour is the same in troubleshoot mode

Bonjour J'utilise Firefox et Thunderbird depuis plusieurs années et je contribue modestement au financement de vos activités.

j'ai sélectionné la langue française mais toutes vos explications sont en anglais...? C'est dommage je ne peux profiter de vos nouveaux développements.

Merci de me dire comment accéder aux infos en Français. Continuez à développer des logiciels qui ne proviennent pas de Google...

After updating Mozilla Firefox to the latest version, it changed the default language from English (US) to German (DE) although English (US) is currently selected as the default language. It will not change back to English (US)

After updating FF to v. 136.0 in Linux Mint 22.04, I noticed a problem with video playback in Facebook in some posts. A black screen appears with the message "Sorry, there were problems playing this video". The problem also occurs after disabling all plugins and deleting the user.js file from the profile. The problem does not occur after starting firefox in troubleshoot mode, but then hardware acceleration using the GPU does not work (Compositing: WebRender (Software)). I noticed that in version 136 there were some significant changes in the topic of video decoding. https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/desktop-linux/1524008-firefox-136-beta-finally-enables-hardware-video-decoding-for-amd-gpus-on-linux-by-default I have an NVIDIA GT1030 GPU with 2 MB VRAM.

We apparently lost power sometime during the night. When I turned on the monitor and opened FF, I got the error message that it had crashed. As my subject line says, I lost all my tabs, the pinned ones (probably about 10) as well as the open ones (probably between 10 and 15). I also lost all my history. I can't use the 'Restore Previous Session' because it doesn't give me that option.

I've restarted Firefox and also rebooted my computer...still nothing happens. It's up to date, version 133.0. But I have no history beyond this morning. Is there any way I can recover those tabs or history?

And in my FF Settings, there's a link at the top that says "Your browser is being managed by your organization". I don't have or belong to an organization. When I click on the link it takes me to another page that says it's "Active" and there's a huge list of "Documentation" that apparently involves a lot of code. Can you please explain what all that means? Thanks so much for any help!

I'm using Firefox v136.0 on a Windows 11 host.

Each time I open Firefox the software prompts me two times (via a dialog) to enter the primary password. (I previously enabled and defined a primary password.) I'm also prompted twice to enter the primary password when I open the Firefox's SETTINGS page. This happens in "regular" and SAFE mode. I do not have any extensions installed nor themes installed/enabled. The only plugins that are installed are "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." and "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc."

When I delete the primary password, the browser does not prompt me to enter the primary password on startup or when opening the SETTINGS page.

FWIW, I've tried the following sequence, but the problem persists:

1. Uninstall Firefox
2. Delete as many temporary files as I can in $HOME\AppData\Local\Tmp\
3. Delete $HOME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\
4. Delete $HOME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\
5. Reboot
6. Reinstall Firefox
7. Open Firefox and add a primary password
8. Close and reopen Firefox

When I reopen Firefox, it prompts me twice to enter my primary password. When I open Firefox's SETTINGS, I am prompted twice to enter the primary password.

Any suggestions as to how I can convince Firefox to not prompt me twice for the primary password when opening the browser would be appreciated.

In current version of firefox when attempting to log in to yahoo.com I get the error message from AT&T:

Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over.

No error when using edge or chrome.
