Hello,

Usually both of my previously closed windows reopen without issue, but the data for both of them disappeared this time when I clicked on a zoom link after closing them. The link opened, but they didn't. I did the basic troubleshooting like checking my entire history (under "managed history") and looking in settings as well as following the instructions I found here at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1407584, but everything's gone. It's like they never existed in the first place. Has anyone else had this issue?

Also, about a couple of months ago, Firefox started forgetting my accounts and logging me out of them once I closed the window/the tabs reloaded. Not sure if this is due to my computer's own storage (RAM) or an update-related issue - I haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Any insight on either or both of these is greatly appreciated!

I did a search to try and fix this. Suggestions included, checking if Private Windows are on, Customizing Toolbar, making sure all extensions are enabled and Refresh Firefox, all of which I did with no results. Before I go nuclear and uninstall/install Firefox, are there any other suggestions to solve this issue?

'Open links in apps' inconsistent and having issues

I've been using Firefox for Android for a few years now, and for most of this duration I have set the 'Open links in apps' setting to 'Ask before opening'. Up until around 2 weeks ago this was working properly, however in the past 2 weeks it acts inconsistently and led to issues:

- when opening a new tab and navigating x.com (one example) as soon as I confirm the URL it will open the installed application without asking for confirmation to open the link in the app. If I then close the app and tab and re-enter the address, it seems I more often than not DO get the confirmation if I want to open the link in app or not.

- when visiting the same website through a Google search it DOES consistently ask for confirmation to open link in app or not.

- this affects every URL that links to an app installed on my phone (Reddit, banking apps, etc.)

- at times, if later at any point during the same session (haven't 'killed' the Firefox process/app or rebooted phone) I enter the same URL again (x.com) it again attempts to open the app without asking for confirmation, but fails to do so leading to Firefox just being a blank screen without any possible interaction.

- also in the past 2 weeks, I've had 3 instances where I was using an app in which I had to make a payment, which then opens the payment link in Firefox, from where I then select 'pay with banking app'. I the get the confirmation to open in app or not. I select open app, but it refuses to do so. The confirmation box disappears but the banking app does not start. Pressing the 'pay with app' button on the website again does nothing, it do not get the confirmation box again nor does the app start. I may have had this issue once in the past but it seemed to be related to the banking app at that moment, it now seems to be a more consistently occurring issue.

I have toggled the 'open links in apps' setting back to always on, off, then back to 'always ask' but this didn't fix the issue. Also cleared app cache.

It's a frustrating issue for my daily use, any suggestions and/or fixes would be much appreciated. If I can somehow share relevant logs I'll gladly do so.

I recently downgraded to the stable version of Firefox from beta. I made a new profile and deleted the old one, and it still tells me this randomly. Not sure what to do now since creating a new profile (like it said) didn't work. It's more of an annoyance since everything works like normal, other than getting the error every few hours (or minutes, depends).
