Using my laptop: I have Firefox set to automatically update. I believe there was an update several weeks ago. Today I had been working in Photoshop, exited it, clicked on the Firefox tab I had open and clicked for a new tab. A window opened asking me for a new profile for Firefox. It said I needed this because there is a newer version of FF. It was weird. I entered the info and then was asked if I wanted to import bookmarks, etc. from Chrome (I rarely use Chrome) so I clicked to import. My big beef with this is all of my saved url's in One Tab are missing. I use One Tab all of the time so I lost a lot of information.

1) Can someone tell me what causes FF to do this because I had the latest version open?

2) Can someone tell me how to get my One Tab information back?

Thank you in advance for help, Becky

Yesterday I could open any or all of the downloaded apps on the screen of my Apple laptop. Today, I can't! WHAT IS GOING ON? Being elderly and not very techie (to say the least!), I need simple answers, no jargon please. Is it because my laptop is 'elderly' in tech terms (Catalina 10.15.7) or what? I've used Mozilla most of the time for very many years, but I might swap to Safari or Chrome instead if this isn't sorted out PDQ.

Hello !

I love the color themes available in Firefox and have been using one consistently. However, since the recent update, my selected color theme no longer stays applied after I close or restart my laptop. Each time I reopen Firefox, I need to manually reapply it from my saved themes. This wasn’t an issue before the update, so I wanted to reach out in case it’s a bug.

Thank you for your attention to this!

I have been using Firefox for years and it has been my favorite browser. I am running on a laptop with Windows 10 at the latest version. Until the latest update to Firefox, all was great. Now, only after the latest version of Firefox, I consistently get messages about link timing out when I click on anything. Usually, it takes 2 or 3 clicks to open a new tab. What has happened with the latest version? Can I undo the latest version? Thanks for any help. I can't wait 30 seconds for every tab or window to open.

Firefox-132 fails to start GUI on Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64

duplicate of /questions/1472253 thread

Since Firefox version 100 the last argument for firefox-bin (last argument for its option -appDir) is `true 1 socket` whereas in previous versions Firefox 95 and earlier this was `true tab` In Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64 the version 95 and earlier work but starting from the version 100 Firefox fails to display GUI (there appears only empty window created by Gnome and titled Firefox). All the requiremnts concerning software versions have been satisfied. Therefore I suspect that this difference in the last argument may indicate the cause of this problem. Hence my question: Is it possible, without recompilation of Firefox (now 132), to provide this last argument as `true tab` instead of `true 1 socket` for option -appDir of firefox-bin ?

At the end of output from command, ps -flu username
all the options and parameters provided by the binary firefox to firefox-bin
are displayed eg.,
for Firefox-132:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox132/firefox-bin -contentproc -parentBuildID 20241021175835
-prefsLen 24975 -prefMapSize 253763 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox132/browser
{1ac1038c-19a2-4a74-8e03-83da21315c92} 15183 true 1 socket
while for firefox-95:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser
 -prefsLen 1 -prefMapSize 240375 -jsInitLen 278884 -parentBuildID 20211218203254
 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 7726 true tab

I have already signaled this problem in relevance to Firefox-128; without solution.

Firefox updated from 131 to 132 and deleted all bookmarks, history and emptied the bookmarkbackups folder. It displays a message that a Firefox file is open by another application and that some security software can cause this problem. According to Task Manager there are no other applications running, nor is security software running. (I turned off Windows Defender and rebooted.) The problem persists. If I can't recover the 80 or so complex bookmarks, I'll have to try MS Edge browser. I'm sure that months of history is not recoverable and is lost forever.

Was this software quality tested prior to distribution? If so, it wasn't very thorough.

Why does Firefox delete files and folders during an update? It would be better to make a backup copies prior to unleashing a destructive update on unsuspecting users.

Before you ask, no I don't create full backups because a) my laptop is used 12 x 7 weekly, b) a 4TB SSD full backup takes days, not hours depending on the destination and c) a 4TB SSD differential backup takes more than a day. I've tried both and they are not practical.
