Hello all, i have a bit off an off one. I had a usb keyboard plugged into my laptop and and it had something sitting on it, I forgot it was there. I was using the laptop normal, and usually i use the CTRL and wheel on my usb mouse to zoom. But because of whatever buttons where pressed.. IT DELETED TABS(quite a few!)more thank the recent closed tabs could handle... i tired to do the session restore thing but im not super tech savy and messed that up.. But i do still have a copy of the json file thingy, but the backup thing got over written.. can i still recover with the one copy. The instructions are not the easiest to understand. Please help, i dont research and its been hard gathering that information. Thanks and if you need any more info just let me know!

On a new laptop with Win11 Home (x86-64) with Firefox just installed, the cache size is 54 MB. When Privacy and Security -> Clear Browsing Data is clicked, Firefox hangs - no input is accepted and nothing appears to be happening. On closing Firefox and then reopening the cache size is reduced and Clear Browsing Data operates as expected.

Why is the cache size (54 MB) so large? Why does Clear Browsing Data hang Firefox?

A little over a week ago I logged on asking a question related to the inability of the download I had made of the current version of Firefox to install on my new windows 11 Pro laptop. There were a couple of answers, the last of which was posted by James, who is identified as a Moderator.

I made not of his response, logged out of the forum and followed his instructions. I found that he had accurately diagnosed the problem and had responded with a very successful answer.

Over the following week I attempted several times to log back onto the forum and replying to his response to thank him for his assistance and let other forum members know that his effort was appreciated.

At no time was I able to return to my question, find his response and properly thank him for his effort. Each time I returned to my question I was blocked from doing anything other than reading my question. I could not even access the replies..

That is not in the interest of the forum's users and is an insult to the hard working moderators whose efforts must be duly acknowledged and lauded.

I suggest that some changes to this website are due and whomever the powers may be that make stupid decisions which maybe harmful to its users should be given the heave-ho and be returned to that unspeakable place from which they evolved.

Thank you James. You did an excellent job and should be commended!

I receive various emails that often contain links to articles and other websites. Although none have ever been troublesome, Firefox is now preventing me from viewing them "for my own safety". How do I go back to simply viewing the stuff I'm reading about in my email?

Why do you guys always manage to break a feature with any new update?

For 148.0, you have caused the "Check for updates" button [available under Help > About Firefox] to completely disappear (even though it was here and working perfectly fine a few seconds ago with 147.0.4), creating an unnecessary blank space below the Firefox logo.

On another note, the new font for the logo is a very poor choice, it's a weird combination of square and rounded edges with weird proportions. Who validated this choice?

Hello, First of all, sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native speaker. I'm running Firefox 153.0 on a W11 PC. I recently encountered some problems when signing into Microsoft.com.

In order to sign in, I need to enter my email adress (duh) and my password before proceeding with 2FA. However, when I submit my password, the login page immediatly sends this error message : Password sign-in isn’t available. Try another method.

I first thought my credentials were wrong. This is not the case since I managed to log in with another browser (Edge, to be more specific). The same message appears whether the password is correct or not. In other words, Microsoft doesn't even bother to check if credentials info are correct.

I encounter the same problem with other Microsoft accounts. I tried to log in with 2 other machines (also running Firefox 153.0) on two different networks with different IPs, and the issue persists. However, when trying to log in from another browser or using a Firefox private window, everything works like a charm.

The problem then seems to come from the " classic " Firefox browsing. Here's what I tried :

• Closing and reopening Firefox and restarting Windows (well, you never know, it could be useful) ;
• Completely clearing cache and browsing data ;
• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (so add-ons are not a problem here, and I'm only using uBlock) ;

The issue persists. I'm quite at a loss here.

I regularily log in to my Microsoft account and this issue first occured since the 153.0 update. Any idea ?

I'm not the only one with this problem, at least one other person encountered this issue, confer this reddit post (which is not mine, however I'm one of the commenters).

Have a nice one, Atuvu

My bank's online bill-pay option suddenly stopped working (after years of no problems). The bank's help desk said that many Firefox users are having the same problem after a recent Firefox update. So I had to switch to a different browser to pay my rent. PLease provide a fix. Thanks.

Hi, Firefox is hard to use for me right now. The screen turns sometimes black while using the browser. Especially when opening pdf documents in Firefox the screen turns black before the document opens. Also, after switching to another tab or App the pdf is not visible anymore and also black (see sreenshot). I have tried reinstalling Firefox and also start in troubleshoot mode. What is the issue??

Thanks.

Sebastian

Thanks,

As of yesterday, I have a message on Inspire.com which says Opt-Out Signal Honored It even says that before I log in. They are checking at their end, can you please help me? This is the only website that I receive this message.

Also, I am receiving more and more pop-ups that say WARNING SECURITY RISK "Be careful. Something doesn’t look right."

"Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with tracenep.bidprism.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails." Some are websites I use, some are not. I don't remember adding this to my list or changing any of my extension settings. Please Help.

Thank you very much.

Can't get onto national-lottery.co.uk site. Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP But am using latest Firefox (152.0.6) Solution in no-technical language please...

I always delete ALL browsing data every time after using the internet. However, when I next go to use it there is a whole load more kB under "temporary cached files and pages". This usually happens overnight, but has also happened in the daytime. Why would this be? Does it mean someone has gained access to my laptop? Now more concerned as have had fraudulent use of my bank card today.

Non-technical language answers please!
