I have firefox running on my mac desktop, macbook and iphone. Starting yesterday the firefox password manager has stopped working on my desktop - it won't make any suggestions for passwords on web pages. I've been reduced to going to about:prefererences, manage passwords and manually searching for my password. It still works on my macbook and iphone. Any suggestions as to how to debug this?

Hello, Having some issues with two websites that don't load correctly. Can you help me with this ? It has been going on for a while withe my car brand website configuration page so I have to use Safari for that, but today it happened with my bank website. Please see the car website screen shots attached. Thanks Joseph

I've blocked access to nearby devices without knowing that this would affect my local network websites. Now the option to change this on the settings simply does not appear for me. What can I do?

Just updated to 144.0.2 (aarch64) on my MacMB Pro running Sequoia 15.7.1 with no other changes and now I can't play any YouTube videos, whether embedded in a website or YT directly. Get eithger a black screen or white, such as below. What arcane setting do I have to mess with now to get this back to normal? (OK in Safari.)

Hello,

After recent macOS updates, it appears that Firefox would get stuck when trying to access passkeys stored in macOS's passwords or keychain apps. I run into this issue with both the following two combinations of Firefox versions and macOS

144.0.2 on macOS 26.0 Tahoe

140.4.0esr (aarch64) on macOS 15.7 Sequoia

Any insight is appreciated!

OK, I am a heavy user of tab groups in Firefox (glad to get off Chrome once this was available). Unfortunately, Bookmark All Tabs only saves the open tabs in my Firefox window. It Does Not save anything inside a tab group that isn't opened - AND it doesn't save any of the tab group structure - ex. the group, what is inside it, etc.

IS there some way to properly save all the tab information (groups and tabs inside those groups) in Firefox? There is in Chrome by the way. IF there isn't, has someone out there produced an extension to do this??

Seems like a big oversight in the intro of tab groups if there is really no way to do this...

I do the Bookmark All Tabs for backup and have needed it many times in my Chrome past usage.

Thanks in advance

When I close a tab that had a video playing, the picture-in-picture box will stay there after I close the tab. The picture is just a white box. The controls are there, but when I click on any button, nothing happens. I can only move the box around and resize it. It usually happens when I close the tab while the video is playing, but sometimes it happens when I close the tab and the video is paused. It happens on videos that were in a picture-in-picture box and videos that weren't. I go into setting and disable picture-in-picture which will stop new picture-in-picture boxes, but won't get rid of the white box. The only way to get rid of the white box is to close FireFox completely and then reopen it.

Docusign does not work through Firefox anymore. However , it does work with other browsers. I have emptied my Cache and deleted and reinstalled Firefox with no luck. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I recently installed a new add-on in Firefox — the one that allows you to create different profiles with individual names and colors in the browser.

After the installation and a subsequent restart of my MacBook Pro, my previously open session windows were not automatically restored when starting Firefox as usual. Instead, a message appeared asking whether I wanted to “restore all session windows.” I clicked “Yes,” but none of my previous windows opened.

Since then, my saved passwords and bookmarks also seem to have disappeared. I suspect that my previous profile may have been overwritten or that a new profile was created.

Could you please let me know if and how I can restore my previous sessions, bookmarks, and passwords? Is there perhaps a way to access my data through a backup or via the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file or an older Firefox profile?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards, Diamant Adler

Hello, I reinstalled Firefox and am unable to recover my bookmarks and other data. Before the re-installation, I manually backed up my data, but when I try to restore from the backup, it does not work. All my bookmarks and previous data are still missing. How can I fix this and recover my information?

I'm running Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit) on a Mac using Sequoia 15.4.1 OS.

At the most recent Firefox update, I added VPN.

Since then, I've had a problem with Firefox hanging. Not immediately but after varying amounts of time, 20-60 minutes. I get an "Out of Application Memory" pop-up but the usage for both Firefox and other elements are well within normal range, not high. It's completely frozen and the only way out is to do a Force Quit.

There are times when doing a shut down I notice that VPN has somehow been turned Off and once I saw a message of Background Service Error attached to it.

Having to constantly re-start Firefox is a major pain. Oh-- I did turn off the background AI thing under Tabs. I hate AI and try to turn it off everywhere I find it. A resource suck and bad for the planet.

Any help appreciated.

Please tell me how to disable adblocker for a site. I am trying to read my local newspaper and I cannot access it due to this issue. I've googled it and cannot find the answer. Please Help!!!

I am trying to make the Firefox window move behind when I middle click but it instead creates a new tab. It work on any other application window such as Chrome. How do I disable the middle button from opening a new tab and also make it to go behind the window when it is clicked. I have already tried putting browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and middle.mouse,openNewWindow and other ones to false. Still no fix.

my firefox/mozilla updated without my knowledge. I turned the computer off and on and when it came back on it said it updated. My bookmark bar is missing along with all the drop down bookmarks I had..there was an arrow pointing down. I don't remember all of the bookmarks there were and there were lots. Some were for doctor portals. How can I get my bookmarks back I tried some online stuff but nothing works. Donna

I have used firefox for many years on Pc s and Imac recently I had an upgrade and now firefox opens half screen and I have make it full screen every time. I tried to find a simply way but failed and pressed dismiss button and now I can't reinstall. I had google password on very secure generated one and most of my passwords have vanished in Motzilla leaving three passwords. What is going on? I am 86 this month and have spent nearly two days wasted. Clearly the web is full of problems, we need simply put my screen or passwords back.

In Mozilla is it possible to use just 1 account to sync for multiple profiles just like the workspaces in Microsoft Edge ? or is anything similar is on development right now ?

If anyone knows about this, please do reply 🙏 Thank you!
