I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

Hello,

My Websocket server recently started failing in Firefox. After some investigation it looks like the issues began in v130. The Websocker server works in all other browsers and in Firefox version <= 129. After much troubleshooting it seems like a change was made to the TLS negotiation when making a Websocket connection. I was able to temporarily solve the problem by forcing TLSv1.2 instead of negotiating the strongest TLS available. Was there a recent change to how TLS is negotiated when making a wss Websocket connection?

I used Firefox almost since its inception. But I stopped using it when one of my games on Facebook kept asking to upgrade flash player in order to play. I know that flash player is no more and the problem likely lies with the game but I can play the game on every other browser without that message so finally I stopped using Firefox. Is there a setting I can use so that I can go back to my favorite browser and play my game with it also?

I take a lot of screenshots using Firefox's built in screenshot tool to share with my friends. After a while it slows down my Photos folder and I move them elsewhere. However, I cannot move, delete, or even rename any of the 18 photos shown in the photo below. They are all from Twitter/X, but this error does not apply to every screenshot from Twitter - I was able to move or delete most of them. However, it is ONLY happening with photos from Twitter. They are not Read Only so I don't know what the issue is. I'm not having this issue with Windows Snip tool, only Firefox Screenshots.

Hi everyone, I love Firefox, but it has a very debilitating issue whereby login popup windows, those little ones you click on to login, do not come up at all on some sites.

I have a screenshot below for https://www.avsim.com from MS Edge, where the popup does work. It also works on Google Chrome. But after clicking on sign in, nothing happens at all in Firefox.

Popups are enabled, cookies are enabled and safe browsing is totally disabled in Firefox settings. I have also disabled my ad blocker, AdGuard, on this site.

Can someone tell me what settings may need to be fixed in Firefox, or is this another issue?

Thanks.

I'm away from home, using Firefox on Windows 10, and every time I open the password manager, it defaults to "Alerts". I feel sure that when I use Firefox at home on Windows 11, it defaults to "Last Used". In this age of complex passwords, if I am opening the password manager, it's to copy a password I need frequently, so it would be very helpful if I could get Firefox to default to showing the "Last Used" passwords. Is there a way to do this?

Since updating to Sequoia on my Mac Mini, I have been getting thr folloeing error: Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox’s cache.

   As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
   Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

I do not get it on my MacBook with Sonoma. Please advise,

Previously asked this question but didn't receive any Mozilla support. All they replied with was "we really only help with account or VPN issues now."

How is someone supposed to get a bug taken care of?

Since update to version 132, the primary password box keeps popping up, randomly, even after I put in the password. Only started happening after update to 132.

Can someone from Mozilla actually look into this?

Hello!

I have a problem with FF browser on my PC for quite some time. It seems that every time I try searching for anything at all, there always appear a "google location bar", which obstructs the first search result completely - more in the attachment.

I've tried turning off all of the add-ons I have, tried searching for it in console, tried blocking it - didn't help.

It doesn't show in other browsers.

I would like to be able to see a history list of ALL pages AS VISITED. For example, I will go to search engine and enter say "mozilla". I will click on an item that comes up, then back to the search. Click on another item in the search page, then back to the search, etc, etc. However the "history" in firefox does not list the visits back to the search engine, why not?? How can I get a complete history list of sites as visited? I need this so I can get back to the search where I was last when I visit one of those annoying sites such as "https://inacal.isolutions.iso.org/obp/ui#!iso:std:iso:8124:-1:ed-5:v1:en" which somehow blocks the back button. Actually that is another question, how can we stop sites from disabling the back button?

I read somewhere that Firefox was working on a simple Multiple accounts Addition to Firefox but I can no longer find the article. Is this true. When you start up Chrome, it asks you which account you would like to use, and switching between accounts is as simple as a click on your account icon. This feature is invaluable and the only reason i still use Chrome. I keep checking back on Firefox every month or two, just to see if they have done it yet. Anyone know if it is still happening?

Intermittent no sound on streams unless you refresh or change stream resolution (which i imagine refreshes the stream).

This only occurs on Twitch using FF, other browsers work fine.
