When Firefox updated 149.0.2 to 150. Every time, I am watching video any site when I click the pop out button Firefox crashes and sends a report. I copied the text file from two of them(last one copied to share data). I do disk image backups and went back to before the update 149.0.2. Turned off auto update in setting and everything is ok now. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to 149.0.2 (64-bit), when starting FF or opening an new tab, the preferred URL is not loaded. It is configured in Settings/Home/New Windows and Tabs All previuos FF versions were OK with the same URl (https://search.yahoo.com/web/advanced)

Hello, I have multiple devices using Firefox on the same network, and whenever using them at the same time, I get an additional Firefox icon in my doc which will open whatever tab is up on the other device. I was not signed in to any account on either device, yet it is still sharing tab data across devices.

I then created an account and signed in on one device and disabled every Sync option I could find, but still the sharing is enabled over local network. How do I disable this so there is no communication between the two devices?

Device 1 - MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6 Firefox Version 149.0.2

Device 2 - MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2023 macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Firefox Version 149.0.2 Local Network access disabled for Firefox in macOS settings

It doesn't seem like this should even be possible given that local network access is disabled for the one device, and neither device is logged into a mozilla account.

Can someone please help me disable this functionality?

When I try to open Firefox, I get a box saying it is open, and I must close it. I do so, and a new Firefox pops up. However when I try to close that, it won't do so.

I noticed in the past day that Firefox started using alot of ssd. It wasn't doing this before, I've been a Firefox user for years now. I'd like to stay that way rather than going with Google or Microsoft. I don't trust some of the other small companies with browsers. I like the fact that Firefox uses it's own engine too. In the last day it started using alot of disk for no reason. How do I fix this. Well, well, well. I just noticed that Icloud from Apple was using alot of disk too and when I shut it down in task manager it stopped. Firefox disk use is virtually none just like Microsoft Edge. So it's some kind of interaction with Icloud that is causing that. But it wasn't doing that before. I have task manager open most of the time to catch stuff like that. My system is decent I have a 2TB 990, 2TB 980, and a 2 TB 860, with and AMD 5800x, 32 GB of ram and an Nvidia rtx 470. Maybe some kind of backup with Icloud was happening, that isn't with Edge. So I know shutting that off works. Icloud is useful for backing up things from my phone though.

For the past week everytime i use the search whether by using the address bar or context highlight a word i get a blank page as first result, if i search again i get the result. I use yahoo search engine as my main search engine for the past 10+ years. This doesnt happen if i set the google engine as i tested it in case it was an search engine issue.

I have read this blog for years. No problems. Now you are saying it is a problem. I would like to read my friend's blog again. withstringsattached.blogspot.com

I used to be synced across two laptops and my iphone but no longer. I am signed in to my Firefox account on my Windows 10 laptop and on my iphone. The windows 10 laptop indicates that I am also signed in on my Windows 11 laptop, but when I run Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop, it indicates that I am signed out. When I attempt to sign in (on the Windows 11 machine), I get an "unexpected error" flag and I cannot sign in.

How can I fix this?

Since more than a month ago I've been unable to access my AOL email on my M1 iMac using Firefox. Going to mail.aol.com now causes Firefox to hang, as does going to aol.com and then clicking on the "Mail" icon/button at the top of the browser window. The problem started after I installed the 2nd-to-most-recent Sequoia update; it continued after I installed the most recent Sequoia update; and it's still occurring now that I've upgraded to Tahoe 26.4.1. I tried uninstalling the few extensions that I was using in Firefox, but that didn't help. Neither did refreshing, updating, or reinstalling Firefox, and the problem occurs even when I've started Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. I'd like to blame the MacOS updates for the problem, but those updates didn't prevent me from being able to log into my AOL account with Safari or Chrome. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that'll enable me to access my AOL email via Firefox again.

Hi, I'm on Linux mint and I can't stop google calendar notifications from stealing focus from other windows. E.g. I can be typing in VSCode with firefox open in another window, and if a calendar notification triggers I'm suddenly typing in whatever tab I have open on firefox.

I've tried disabling notifications for the site, following [post] (though I don't have a padlock in my address bar, I just went to the settings manually), everything Claude can come up with on both the firefox and os level, etc. and nothing has worked.

I need the notifications to still be enabled at the calendar level (so that other devices have them), and I like having notifications in general, just the focus stealing is a dealbreaker so if I need to get rid of them on this device to end that then I'm okay with that. But really I just want to stop the focus stealing.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

only one email kinda working now - [email 1 removed]@wolfgangforge.com (have 3 accounts total). i cannot even be sure you are getting my emails or that i am receiving any replies. when i close down ff and re-start, the email tab is gone and i must type in "https://sm1.toast.net/interface/root#/email" and login to get it running again. my most important email, [email 2 removed]@wolfgangforge.com is not. this folder has my business tabs (using the Simple Tabs add-on in ms windows 11) - about 700 tabs and about 30 groups. losing all this info would be a major disaster! it is like FF is installing for the first time and cannot find the Profiles folder. i've attached a screenshot to show the folder where the Profiles are presently kept.

***-- i need to get back my ff as it was last friday.

i looked at the session-restore, but it appears that only goes back to the immediately previous session and since that one was fouled-up also, i can't see how that would help. wolfgang 503-475-3563

Download Issues My downloads have stopped displaying. Each page of a download is now just a black screen. Any advice as to how I can restore them?

In the before times I had a default profile (for fun) and an alternative profile (for serious stuff).

Now - even with the "-p" set in the shortcuts properties I'm always asked,

OR from the taskbar it's a lottery as to which is opened.

Simple request: have the shortcut respect the "-p" it has been fed in the shortcut & Have the taskbar ALWAYS pen the DEFAULT (fun) profile.

Im trying to sync my android to existing account on PC. Phone says my firefox login incorrect yet when I go to firefox settings , it shows my name and password that I used to try to log in with phone. I then tried the scan option, but when I phone up to pc screen to QR code, it just sits there. SO I think ill just change my password. I go to password change section and it sends me the code via email. I input the code and brings me to change password screen yet when i try to change it, it states the prepopulated old password is incorrect. I am logged into PC with this info so how is it incorrect?
