Upgraded to FF 142.0 and don't have the Link Preview that was described in the new release info. You can now see what’s behind a link before visiting it with Link Previews. Long press a link (or right-click and choose Preview Link). Previews can optionally include AI-generated key points, which are processed on your device to protect your privacy. Long press does nothing and right click on link doesn't have a preview option. I am using Windows 10 which is current and 64 bit. Don't really care all that much, but they said it was there for EN version and it isn't.

I use an IMac (15.6) to sign political petitions online on sources I trust, but the new Firefox version (128.14) seems to require that all GPC be disabled to do so. Can GPC be used selectively? Attached is a typical warning. Thanks for your expert thoughts.

Firefox updated to 142.0 - now my bookmarked websites not working - Apple tech had me delete all my Firefox cookies to determine that it was the 142 update from yesterday that caused the problems because I can access my bookmarked websites using Safari

Yesterday (8/19/2025) I updated to Firefox v. 142 from v. 141.0.3. The Firefox update was the last thing I did prior to shutting down my computer. Today, when I booted up with version 142.0 many of my bookmarked websites don't work. I am using a iMac Retina 5k, 27-inch, late 2015 desktop computer using macOS Monterey v. 12.7.6

I called Apple tech department & explained my problem (see above). He had me delete the cookies for Firefox to see if that would correct the problems. It did NOT resolve the problems. He had me switch to Safari browser to see if I could the access the websites with which I was unable to access. I was able to do so. He stated that the problem was with Firefox and that he could NOT help me any further.

I have NOT used Safari for a decade or more and am NOT familiar with it because I found Firefox to be much better and easier to use. Until yesterday, I had NO problems. Now I am desperate to be able to continue to use Firefox but can't access important sites that had been available until the 142 upgrade. HELP, PLEASE

I started using Firefox a few months ago after the new Profile Manager was introduced. Created a bunch of profiles and setup everything the way that I want. Now I started using another PC and want to replicate my setup on it. I thought Sync would be able to do this but it just copied over one profile and it also didn't copy over my Shortcut configuration. Is there a way to duplicate the way Firefox is setup on one PC to another PC, down to every detail? Thanks!

I am using version 140 on Linux and now two company sites do not work properly when "enhanced trakcing protection" is enabled. The 2 companies are "public mobile" a Cell phone provider and "Voip.ms" a phone provider.

When I log onto public mobile I cannot view my specific account information, I can see other menu information. voip.ms I cannot log on either chat or the main customer portal. This only recently changed within the last 4 days and I am using the same version of firefox.

Can you provide an explanation as to why this is occurring?

An error occurred during a connection to www.amazon.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR and sometimes An error occurred during a connection to www.amazon.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

This does not occur on Edge.

I've cleared browsing data and cookies as well as changed network settings from "Use System Proxy Settings" to "Auto detect Proxy Settings from this Network" (because one trouble-shooting site suggested it might resolve the issue)

What's going on?

Is it time to finally dump Firefox for Edge after more than 15 years of loyalty?

I do not have a screen shot of the PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR.

As the title suggest - I am unable to access LI at all.

It's not a profile issue because it loads fine on Edge. It's not an extension issue because it causes the same problems in troubleshooting mode, and it does get me to at least the login page on a private window.

Please help. I'm not sure how to resolve this. It's blocking a lot of my work.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m having trouble getting Firefox to work properly on my computer. During installation, the setup process becomes very slow, and once I manage to install it, Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive within a few seconds after launching.

My system details:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

What I’ve tried so far:

Reinstalling Firefox Running in Safe Mode Clearing profile data Disabling antivirus temporarily

None of these steps solved the problem. There are no specific error messages — the browser just freezes, and I have to close it via Task Manager.
