I have version 105 and version 132 now installed on my computer. What is the best way going forward? I had 375 tabs open and of course designed my way. Besides saved passwords I have a couple gigs of cookies. Some pinned tabs etc. Should I just start over with version 132 and struggle through it for a few weeks? It used to update automatically but for some reason it did not these last few months and 105 didn't even have an option to update. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello - I am running Firefox version 132.0 (aarch64) on a mac M1Max running Sonoma 14.6.1. The most recent Firefox update deleted all of my bookmarks and I can't get them back using the Manage Bookmarks->Restore option. I don't have a manual back up file. There were hundreds of bookmarks. Why did you do this and how can I get my bookmarks back?
/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

This morning I experienced three new things, so I don't know if they are related to the latest update. 1 - My bookmarks were incomplete but I restarted and all of them appear to be restored. 2 - The shield in my toolbar related to trackers was previously always blue and sometimes I had to turn off enhanced browser tracking for websites to appear and function - as with placing orders. Now it is not blue on any site I visit. 3 - There are so many ads now on every page I visit where there were previously none yesterday. Is this related to the time change in most US States? I checked all my settings for ads and privacy and nothing has changed, but these annoying ads are now everywhere. I will add one more issue: the annoying pop up on every page asking me to sign into a google account. I have read the troubleshooting solution but it is for versions of Firefox that existed years ago. Please provide a current solution for the current version of Firefox please.

Since 132.0-1 and higher (installed with snap) on Ubuntu 22.04, I can't download opened PDF and image files, nor can I use pop-up windows (downloading files only works if there is a clickable button on the website, even "Save link as..." doesn't work). Changing my privacy settings and disabling all sorts of protection add-ons didn't help.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of Firefox and have greatly enjoyed the browser for its speed, security, and user-friendly interface. However, I recently encountered an issue where the latest update seems to be incompatible with my system.
As a user with a low-end system, I sincerely request that future updates consider compatibility with older or less powerful hardware. Firefox has always stood out for its accessibility, and I believe that supporting a wider range of devices would further enhance the browser’s appeal to users like me.
I would be grateful if there could be an option or version of Firefox optimized for systems with limited resources. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).
Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...
And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.
Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.
So how do I force this update to install?

Yesterday I could open any or all of the downloaded apps on the screen of my Apple laptop. Today, I can't! WHAT IS GOING ON? Being elderly and not very techie (to say the least!), I need simple answers, no jargon please. Is it because my laptop is 'elderly' in tech terms (Catalina 10.15.7) or what? I've used Mozilla most of the time for very many years, but I might swap to Safari or Chrome instead if this isn't sorted out PDQ.

Hello !
I love the color themes available in Firefox and have been using one consistently. However, since the recent update, my selected color theme no longer stays applied after I close or restart my laptop. Each time I reopen Firefox, I need to manually reapply it from my saved themes. This wasn’t an issue before the update, so I wanted to reach out in case it’s a bug.
Thank you for your attention to this!
