Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Up until recently (apologies, I do not know which version) when editing userContent.css on Debian 12 in the ' Developer Tools ' I could just use CTRL+S to save my changes and all was well.

Now it appears to have forgotten where it loaded in the first place, because (when using the shortcut or the 'save' link under the name on the left) it just opens the user's home folder at its root level or ' ~/ ' ...

Is this a bug that I should raise at bugzilla? Or has another bug fix messed this functionality up somewhat?

This is the ' mozilla-deb ' / ' Mozilla Firefox Debian Package ' currently at version 154.0 which is usually updated weekly.

1 - Sort tabs by {fqdn, date open ...} 2 - Create automatique group for {fqdn, date open ...} 3 - Close tabs with site browsing (not exactly double, mean same site but with two different page)

I get 'you browser cannot play this video" when I try to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on Youtube; what causes this? I use Linux Mint on my laptop.

I also have Opera browser installed; I get the same error using Opera.

Please help. Thanks.

Recent update nuked all my custom containers, and closed every page that was currently open within those containers (pretty devastating bug).

Now, I go to add sites to the new custom containers I made to replace the earlier ones. When I go Manage Containers > pick a custom container > "manage site list ..." and there is no list. Just a blank window.

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I'm using Mozilla's Firefox Debian package, Firefox 155.0.1 (64-bit), on a desktop. Until this version, my compose key worked with no problem, in Firefox and all other applications. Now it works with all other applications, but not Firefox.

My .bashrc includes this line: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

I checked about:config, and focusmanager.testmode is set to false.

Any ideas? I can't type my name without the compose key...

I've made a related feature request to include an option to force Firefox to give the option to autofill any arbitrary field as a credit card, address, whatever. This is because 9 times out of 10, Firefox either fails to recognize a field and doesn't offer an autofill option, or something else is going on. If I was able to right click on an empty field and select, "Fill from credit cards," this would solve my problem.

I inspected some of these elements and see that they seem to contain the correct type of markup, with the proper autocomplete="cc-number" attribute. So why is Firefox not recognizing that field? Why is it not popping up an option to autofill?

tl;dr: there is no option to autofill even on correctly marked-up forms. Nothing pops up. My credit cards are stored correctly, I'm logged in as the correct user, the feature works on *some* checkout forms, just not most of them.

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

I would like to make Firefox web browser to save automatically the "tab group" created.

The feature is already there by left clicking on the group and choose "save and close group". I would this to be automated as default behaviour at every attempt to close the last tab of the group, so the "tab group" never gets deleted by itself. Only deliberately left click on the tab group and choose "Delete group".

Thank you in advance for your time reading this. 🙇

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Thank you for your time reading this. 🙇

Buenas. Me es imposible arrancar Firefox 155 en Debian 13. Cada vez que lo intento, un mensaje me dice: "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible". En efecto, estuve tocando la configuración de perfiles para migrarlos desde una copia de seguridad y algo debí de hacer mal por despiste. Para aligerar, desinstalé completamente el programa con remove --purge / clean / autoclean / autoremove y lo volví a instalar de nuevo, pero el problema persiste. Es como si quedara algún rastro de la antigua instalación. Desinstalado de nuevo, intenté buscar la carpeta oculta de Mozilla Firefox, que eliminé; pero al instalar de nuevo el navegador, el problema persistía. ¿Qué sucede? ¿Alguien me puede echar un cable? Gracias y saludos.

chrome logs onto my email without me entering password, and facebook under firefox stays logged in even when i log out with no password. i neeed help forget the vfb but my [redacted] @gmail.com email is dangerously in jeprody

Ever since the latest update i've noticed my firefox browser after using it for a while starts eating up all the ram until my computer freezes and needs to restart, i've heard this issue happen to others too but i am wondering if there are any ways to prevent it or will there be any updates to fix it?

I use my firefox on bazzite and have nothing else running in the background, after a while i watch the stats in my task manager and i see firefox using over 10GB of ram and climbing and have to shut it down before it freezes my pc

(can't show any screenshots because if i do then my pc would probably crash when trying to SS it while it has its problem)
