There is no way I can make my FF into a default browser and showing some old exe files from old FF's leaves me with no comprehension to do anything. I follow the three steps properly ending with the FF icon in the browser box. That does nothing - unless I need to acknowledge its done, but where do I do that?

Prior to Firefox 137, I could adjust this setting all on my own via about:config `extensions.unifiedExtensions.enabled` and setting it to false meant I could hide this puzzle piece extension button.

However, as of Firefox 138 this about:config setting no longer works. Was the option simply renamed or was the feature just completely removed?

Would appreciate any help, thank you kindly.

Is there a setting so that bookmarks, when accessed in a folder, will always sort by name. It appears that every time you add new bookmarks to a folder they are added to the bottom of the folder bookmark list and not listed alphabetically. Thanks

I have accumulated a LOT of bookmarks over the years. I want to streamline it and delete several so I have room to add more but it will not delete them. How do I go about deleting the bookmarks I want and adding more that I do want? It's very frustrating

Firefox 138.0.1, MacOS Monterey 12.3

PDF files: settings is set to "Always ask" (see attached) However, when I click on a PDF link, and get the dialog "Open With" is grayed out, and the only option available is "Save File" (see attached screenshot). (A few weeks or months ago it all worked correctly.)

Is there a way to get "Open" working again?

I am writing to report an issue I’ve been experiencing with your browser. Despite setting the startup option to “Continue where you left off,” my open tabs are not being restored when I reopen the browser.

I have already taken the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

   Confirmed that “Continue where you left off” is enabled in the settings
   Ensured I am not using incognito/private mode
   Disabled all extensions to rule out conflicts
   Verified that the browser is up to date
   Checked for tab recovery options in history

Even after trying all these measures, the problem persists. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue.

Please let me know if you require any system logs or additional information.

Thank you for your support.

After having created a couple of tab groups with some of the numerous tabs that were already open in my browser (Firefox, of course) and then closing and reopening the browser shortly after, no tabs at all reopened even though this is my normal setting for Firefox: open all previous tabs when opening firefox. This setting had always worked before - as it does now with the new tabs. However, all my previous tabs as well as the freshly created groups have vanished. Do you have an explanation and ideally a way of recovering the tabs - or the groups at least? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Kerstin

Some Links Opening Second/Third Instances of Firefox Despite Firefox already Being Open

My problem is as described in the subject line: I'm getting multiple instances of Firefox opened when I click links from email or web pages.

This just started happening within the last couple of days. In the past, whenever I opened a link a new window was opened in the already open instance of Firefox. Somehow some setting has been changed (a guess) that has caused a change in behavior.

Firefox is my default browser, but I do keep Chrome open for some testing of HTML/CSS I'm writing. Chrome is NOT my default browser.

I did some searching without finding anything I understood well enough to implement.

I would appreciate any help with this issue as having multiple instances of the app running is driving my octogenarian brain nuts.
