File type-Action settings: For PDFs, the save and ask actions result in a spinning wheel & no other result. Seems to have happened recently, either with latest Firefox or the latest Mac OS update.

When i start Firefox, Avast reports a 'threat secured'. Something is trying to connect to 'addons.mysafe-search.net. I also have a problem whenever i receive an update for firefox, my system has a freeze and needs to be force quit and restarted, sometimes more than once.

About 3 days ago, none of my passwords are being saved in Firefox. Several times a day I have to put in my username and password for various sites, even if I don't shut down my computer. I have save passwords selected in my security settings in Firefox, but still does not save. This all started when I went into my Firefox settings 3 days ago to clear the cache, and that's when it started not to save passwords.

Mac mini late 2012 running OS 10.15.7 Downloaded most recent Firefox update (135.0). Since then have experienced streaming site (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max) freezing during watching film and then whole computer freezing and crashing so that I need to reboot the computer. Has anyone else reported this problem? What can I do to solve the problem?

I'm very frustrated with FF. It's running slow. Downloads are slow etc. I've tried everything that FF has recommended up to and including "refresh" with no effect. It's getting to the point I'm considering not using FF. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Firefox is not allowing me to save bookmarks into my toolbar folders. Is there a limit as to how many can be saved into a toolbar folder? This has been going on for over a month now. I use a VPN. Is the VPN causing an issue?

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

Hi, I have used Firefox regularly for years to login to my sjsu university account (google workspace) with the DUO security software. But for several days now I have been unable to login: I get "Unable to sign in" error message. At first I thought the system was down, but it's been days now and I can use other browsers to login just fine. I have cleared my cache completely and restarted the computer several times (Dell XPS laptop with Win10). Even weirder, I can login fine with Firefox on my other PC laptop (Win 11).

Can you please help?

I have used Firefox as my primary browser for many years, and have always used autofill for my passwords, credit cards, and addresses. Suddenly, about two weeks ago, my credit card data stopped autofilling. When I go to Settings > Privacy & Security, there is nothing regarding autofill anywhere (or anywhere in any Settings). I have attached screenshots of my entire Provacy & Security page, as well as Settings searches for "autofill," "payment," and "credit card." Please help me figure this out ASAP, or I will have to switch to Safari as my primary browser, which I don't want to do. Thank you!

When I navigate to youtube and try to watch a video, the player does not load. It just shows white in the space where the player should be. No video, no audio, no nothing. No matter what video I click, the same thing happens. The only workaround I have found is that if I go to a page with an embedded youtube video, and click the "watch on youtube" link that appears in it, it will load a youtube page that can play videos normally. I can use that page to navigate youtube and it will operate normally. However if I type in youtube.com or get to the site some other way, the issue happens where it is only white space. It is very frustrating.

When I open a web page that has a txt file, normally I could click the txt file and open it. Firefox no longer opens the txt file, it opens the page in another tab.

Hello! On 2/7/25, upon turning on my computer and opening up Firefox, my ATT Yahoo mail will no longer load onto Firefox. It takes me to the login screen, then I am immediately logged out. I am able to fully access ATT Yahoo email on Google Chrome. Can you please help me get the functionality back on Firefox? It is my preferred Internet browser, but if I can't get my email on it, then I'd just stop using it and only open Chrome. Thank you for your kind assistance.
