I'm now making Firefox my default browser because Safaari keeps crashing immediately after opening. That means I can't get into Safari to initiate importing my passwords into Firefox. How can I import them directly from within Firefox ?

Thanks Marty

How to completely disable Firefox from auto-starting on a MacBook Air M3?

Hi everyone, I am using a MacBook Air M3 with 8GB of RAM. Due to my workflow, I heavily utilize multiple windows simultaneously across both Brave and Firefox. Unfortunately, this heavy usage has caused my CPU and RAM demand to go through the roof.After doing some research, I was advised to switch back to Safari as my default browser to conserve system resources, and to use other browsers only as secondary tools.

To make this transition work, I need to prevent Firefox from automatically launching every time I start up my laptop. I do not want Firefox to open until I explicitly choose to launch it myself. I have searched through every conceivable setting, option menu, and help file, but I cannot find a solution to this basic issue. If I cannot find a way to stop this auto-start behavior, I will be forced to uninstall Firefox altogether, which I would prefer to avoid.How can I definitively stop Firefox from opening automatically on system boot?

Thank you for your help.

Here's an idea, how about when Firefox says tabs will be restored you just do that, without me having to search?

This should be simple. Your site sends a message saying do I want to update MY TABS WILL BE RESTORED. It DOES NOT say I need to go through history and check forums and co… (читать ещё)

This should be simple. Your site sends a message saying do I want to update MY TABS WILL BE RESTORED. It DOES NOT say I need to go through history and check forums and consult outside parties. I'll keep this in mind the next time a silly tedious update comes around.

How do I fix the error, "Firefox is being updated by another instance"?

When I open Firefox, the profile I open with will open perfectly normally to version 153.0.4 and says it is up to date. However, if I open a different profile, that one will say it "Firefox is being updated by another instance". I can quit the app and change which profile I open first, and that profile will be 'up to date', and the other one will be 'being updated'.

I already went through quitting all pending tasks in task manager and restarting my device, as well as deleting and redownloading the app. This is really slowing down my processing speed while I work! Please help. I really don't want to lose my profiles.

Firefox should not permanently delete profiles

TL;DR: I am dumb, but not an idiosyncratic web browser user, and it was too easy for me to accidentally permanently delete all of my browser data. Deleted profiles should be moved into system trash when deleted, not rm'd entirely.

I have never used "profiles" and somehow, after updating firefox, seemed to have created one. I have no interest in using the feature, and therefore went to delete the new profile and disable the feature. Somehow, I instead deleted the profile I had implicitly been using all along. I clicked too hastily through the warning about deleting files, because it simply did not occur to me that deleting something related to this net-new feature should clear all of my *old* data. My goal was to restore the experience I've had in firefox for years (without profiles), but because I failed to adapt to the new feature, I lost everything instead.

I apologize for maybe shouting into the void about this, but I am posting on the off chance that this will reach someone who's involved in the implementation of these features and can save some other dumb person like me from making the same dumb mistake. It's quite painful to suddenly lose years of accumulated bookmarks, extensions, history, etc. The easiest and least intrusive solution would be to always move profiles into system trash when they are deleted, and never permanently delete them.

failure to use container tabs for different AWS accounts

Hi, I was a heavy user of the multi-account containers extension. Since FF now has that functionality built in I disabled the extension recently (more than a week ago). My company keeps FF up to date - currently on 153.0.3 aarch64

All tests have been performed with other extensions (ublock origin and auto-reader view) disabled.

Since the last update (last wednesday I think, 5th. Aug.) I've been unable to access the AWS or Azure portals from a container tab, though it works correctly from the 'bare' browser.

I've cleared cookies and site data for the whole browser (made no difference)

I've cleared cookies and site data for the container tab - this now allows me to sign into Azure (which is a prerequisite to signing into AWS), but AWS is still blocked with a microsoft message "We cannot sign you in, try a different user name"

If I use the bare browser, no container, I can sign into the AWS SSO portal correctly.

What can I check to help diagnose this? MacOS Tahoe 26.6.1 Firefox 153.0.3

regards

Chris
