Update 121.0 (on mac) has been a distaster for me.

The Search Bar is broken. The Title Bar is frozen with the name of the tab that it opens the first time, but doesn't change. BUT more, tabs show up with their name on the tab, BUT when I clicke to open it, the address bar is blank, and I have to mess with it to MAYBE get it to load. I quit firefox and restarted my computer, and when things came back up, all the windows opened with the right numer of tabs, but ALL THE TABS were blank.. I had to go into profile, and mess with the previous.jsonlz4 and session restore to at least recover those.

This has been very frustrating.

Also, Apple sync the home devices into my computer the and I cannot delete them from my computer. I have Airplay Off. It is affecting my TV and iPhone because Apple controls my devices.

I'm using the Multi-Account Containers add-on, and I really love it! Great job!

My question is that I've observed a weird and annoying behavior. I use the built-in Shopping container when I'm, well, shopping. It's mostly Amazon, but sometimes it's other things. I sync between 3 computers, and they all generally stay in sync. I've noticed that the Shopping Container sometimes disappears. Then, a little while later, it reappears, and every time it does that, none of the websites (i.e. Amazon) that I was signed-in to are still signed-in. It's like the container automatically deletes itself and all of its history and cookies, and then starts over again a half hour later or so. I've even had it happen while using the container! Several times, right in the middle of shopping, the container has just disappeared, and it's gone on all 3 computers I sync with. Then it shows back up a half hour or so later. Every day I have to re-login to Amazon in the Shopping container, so I'm guessing it happens every day and I just may not notice it all the time.

Is this unusual? Am I the only one this happens to?

Thanks for the help.

Immobilize mobile bookmarks into regular format accepted by other browsers (chrome, gmail, yahoo)

My isp for mail has gone cheapo and dropped me from using mail as a back up to send any portion of the 5000 links I had on Firefox...so please don't ask if I can send them. Even click and drag only works ONE bookmark at a time (it just disappears if I drag a bunch whether 10 or 4000!).

I am trying to get the bookmarks easily onto other browsers such as Chrome, Yahoo or lastly, gmail. All of these have the simplest of directions, either to "export as HTML" or as JSON (from Fri the 13th?!). In any event, they worked with ALL other bookmark files/folders, but not the ones within the mobile bookmarks on f.fox. How in heck am I going to be able to export them in a significant #, if Mozilla doesn't have a feature to correct them out of whatever gosh darn format they're in, and let them be unencumbered for direct "export to" or "import to" settiings on other browsers or from the mac/firefox "save as new file". At first I thought it was the fact that bookmarks for the mac also get designated as icloud if I move them to desktop sometimes (i.e there's a cute little icon on desk above file/name/pic. I don't think that is the case as the other bookmarks I've sent would have failed (but they didn't). Isn't there a simple app that can extricate these "mobile bookmarks' as they certainly are NOT, and were not posed to me as a issue when I started using SYNC!

I just updated my macbook to the most recent OS, and since updating, and updating both Firefox and my VPN (PIA VPN), firefox has ceased loading pages while my vpn is active. It's not my internet connection, as other internet applications like Discord, Steam, and Spotify have continued to work while the VPN is active with no issue. This problem only seems to be affecting, and therefore must be the result of, something wrong with Firefox.

I tried rebooting my computer, which briefly worked but after a short while, opening new tabs or navigating links on webpages stopped working again fairly quickly. When I try to open a new webpage the loading symbol appears over the tab icon for a split second and then vanishes, the webpage remaining the same; and when trying to open links in a new tab they do not load and the little "lock" symbol in the search bar appears crossed out, indicating the browser is not establishing a secure connection.

I tried just restarting the app itself, using troubleshooting mode, and clearing my cache as well, but every one hit the same dead end. 

Does anyone have a fix for this?

HI...I have over 6,000 bookmarks, created as files within a single folder on firefox over the past 30 years, all of which were created on one macbook or three. I migrated Firefox to them (as well as a iphone or even Amazon Fire) without their being ruined..don't understand why they, and any other folder on the macbook show under head category of 'mobile bookmarks'. That seems contradictory. B/C I was concerned about the lack of support on firefox (and my mail server-another story), I noticed these files and the folder do not transfer, say, to Chrome (or icloud). What little info there is on mobile bookmarks doesn't have real workaround. I tried creating HTML or JSON folders on my desk top but those too aren't picked up by another browser like Chrome...furthermore, Firefox "export bookmarks" doesn't allow individual folders to be exported, only the whole lot (except those mobile ones!). NO one told me using sync (or even icloud for storing desktop files/folders) would mean I can never export to other browsers!

I have an old profile that i restored into a new version of Firefox. Everything works great except for Firefox Sync.

Every time I try to connect, it disconnect instantly and ask me for the password every time, without ever syncing. I tried reinstalling firefox, rebooting, deleting "compatibility.ini", "troubleshoot mode", cleanup and reset, delete the extensions and add-on, delete "signedInUser.json", delete the "wave" folder, delete the "sessionstore" folder, delete "prefs.js", i deleted everything but it still won't sync.

Can you help me ?

With the latest update, a bug appears to have made its way into Firefox for Mac. Here's the procedure to reproduce this bug:

  1. Open Firefox in fullscreen mode by clicking on the green button.
  2. In fullscreen mode, close all the open tabs. You should now return to the regular desktop.
  3. Wait a few seconds. The menu bar no longer works, and neither do the keyboard shortcuts.

In fact, if you immediately click on "File" or any menu other than "Window" after the switch to the desktop, you'll still see the menu, but it will disappear after a second or two. The keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore, either, and you cannot get a new window to open by switching to another app and back via the keyboard (Cmd+Tab). The only workarounds I have found so far:

  • Quit the app and then reopen it. Everything works again as expected.
  • Click on the app icon in the dock, which forces it to reload the menu bar.

Note that this happens with Firefox 121.0 running on macOS 14.2.1.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
