Hi,

I shared a lot of important tabs to my laptop (using the firefox built-in share/send to other device button), upon starting it, they seemed to arrive just fine and opened on my laptop, however I accidentally clicked to "history"->"restore last session", which made this firefox window go away and all my sent tabs seem lost.

Is there any way to get them back? Any type of log?

I tried the following already: - Looking through History (they do not appear there at all) - Looking at recently closed tabs (there aren't any listed) - checking synced tabs window (did not contain the ones I sent from my phone to my laptop) - checked session recovery files ( none of my synced tabs seem to have gotten stored into that session recovery file)

So is there any other log or place I can look at? I refuse to believe that this is not saved anywhere? Or on mozilla servers at least? Can support help me?

Thanks for any ideas!


EDIT: I found this, may is something similar: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/send-tabs-log/idi-p/15640

For quite some time now, I am unable to sign in to my account at CanadianTire.Ca I get an error. The signon process goes to CustomerAuth.Triangle.Ca for the email and password input. When I click "Sign In" the return message is a yellow triangle followed by the word "undefined" (see attached).

All other browsers I have (Brave, Chrome and Edge) can sign in without issue.

I noticed that other users have the exact same issue. I have tried all solutions I could find. The browser is up to date as of today (150.0.2 64 bit). I tried troubleshoot mode, clearing the cache, deleting cookies, history .... On the web site I turned off ETP for CanadianTire.Ca and CustomerAuth.Triangle.Com.

I have used Firefox since it was v0.93.

Drag and drop from downloads panel to Outlook Web broken since recent update

Hello,

Since a recent update, I can no longer drag and drop files from the Firefox downloads panel directly into Outlook Web (webmail) as an email attachment. This used to work fine before.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a file (e.g. a PDF) 2. Open the downloads panel (the arrow icon in the toolbar) 3. Try to drag the file from the panel into the attachment area of a new email in Outlook Web 4. The file does not get attached — nothing happens

Expected behavior: the file should be attached to the email, as it was before.

Workaround: I have to open the downloads folder via the folder icon in the panel, then drag from Windows Explorer instead.

Firefox version: 150.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Windows Webmail: Outlook Web (outlook.office.com or outlook.com)

This is a regression, it worked in previous versions. Is there a fix planned?

Thank you.

Site is https://www.ziggogo.tv/nl/home which is a Cable Television provider's site.

Is days of Yore, we users were asked to tell if a site did not work with Firefox. Now I had to find this forum :-(

I'd like to understand what makes Firefox incapable of playing the film featuring my father from the sixties, two 2 years before he died. For me it is not a real problem, because Chrome waits always in the background to take over. I'd just prefer to let it wait for eternity.

I'm on Windows 11.

Ever since the last update of the Firefox program, I am frequently getting the "Server Not Found" message when I click on links online. If I switch browsers, the links work just fine so it is obviously Mozilla's problem and not anything with my "modem or router" as I am told int he "what can you do about it" message on this error. Mozilla needs to look into this problem and update whatever is causing the failure to link message.

The full winget command is: ```pwsh winget install --id Mozilla.Firefox.zh-CN -s winget -e -i -l D:/.../Mozilla/Firefox/ ```

The winget log mentioned that winget downloaded https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/150.0.2/win64/zh-CN/Firefox%20Setup%20150.0.2.exe ```log 2026-05-12 22:19:28.840 [CORE] WinINet downloading from url: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/150.0.2/win64/zh-CN/Firefox%20Setup%20150.0.2.exe 2026-05-12 22:37:42.091 [CORE] Download hash: 6c7fb833ebb13637daf750c7a2c611e2b6d8d324dc2463eed40e8478d0c791fc 2026-05-12 22:37:42.091 [CORE] Download completed. 2026-05-12 22:37:42.094 [CLI ] Installer hash verified ```

Then winget shows the installation was successful, but the shortcuts in the Start menu and on the desktop point to a path that doesn't exist. I noticed that this path is the one I passed to winget via the -l parameter, but it is missing the slash (`/`) > D:/a/b/Mozilla/Firefox/ → D:\abMozillaFirefox\ I couldn't find the installed Firefox either in the root directory of drive D or under the originally expected path D:\...\Mozilla\Firefox.

Although I passed the -i parameter (specifying interactive installation) to winget, I didn't see the installer window. In the user registry, the installer also wrote the aforementioned incorrect path, and I cannot uninstall this installation through Windows Settings.

I wrote a script myself to search for folders or files with 'firefox' in the name (case-insensitive) on my system's C and D drives, and I only found this folder that looks related: ```pwsh > ls "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox"

   Directory: C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

I want to know what the installer does after running the above installation, and how I can undo these changes to reinstall Firefox?

problems accessing E-Bay

Since April 27th have been various situations where this msg occurs: Access Denied You don't have permission to access ht tp :// signin.ebay.com/logout/confirm?" on this server. Reference #18.17fc3117.1778464971.41591197 An error has occurred

Although the letters in the reference can be different.

1. Trying to open E-Bay with an icon presented in Firefox for E-Pay, or searching Google for 'E-Bay Login', in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome this msg occurs. 2. If I can sign on, when opening searchers from a folder the searches:

	A. Some searches have the words, and show items for sale, but the rest have the access denied msg where the search words should appear. 
Will send a pic when can sign on.

2. If E-Bay will open, sometimes all searches will load ALL with the search words visible in all tabs, but when click on a link for an item to sell, the access denied msg occurs. Sometimes a few searches will load with the name of the search in the tab, but other searches will load with the will load with the words access denied, and the mas when clicked. 3. Some website like Arkaim of some such issued this msg: Your IPv4 Address 104.187.9.142 received a bad risk score. 4. Left msg on Firefox about above, no response, left 2 msgs on E-Bay Technical Support, no response, Microsoft no help, Dell no help, AT & T sent new Gateway/Modem.

IP address changed, and IPv4 changed to  IPv6. Same problem.

At & T said the old router was slower than I paid for: Speed Test 210.6, 29.7 New router 475.5, 225.8. Google AI says clear cache: Clear Cache on Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) [1, 2, 3] 1. Open Menu: Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + Delete (Mac). 2. Time Range: Select "All time" to clear everything. 3. Select Data: Check "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files". 4. Clear: Click "Clear data" or "Clear Now". 5. Restart: Close and reopen the browser. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] I saved the icon of Network & Internet, Internet Options to delete temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords, and web info (same Thiong??????) Lastly Google AI recommended editing the DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). Any danger in doing this?

Hello, I've been watching MSNOW at 4pm eastern and after about half an hour it crashes. I get a message to send a report and restore the tab. I restore the tab which works for maybe ten minutes and crashes again. I am using Windows 11 on a new computer. I'd appreciate some assistance. Thanks. Bruce Caress

Moderator note: This question has been edited to precise Firefox and OS version, based on the crash reports.
