Hello all.

For a while, all downloads have failed on Firefox (150.0.1), Windows 11. No file downloaded, and download tab shows a 'failed' underneath the file name. This holds true when downloading any file type, via firefox directly, or an outside app (Discord, for example) that hooks into the browser. Downloads work on other browsers (Chrome).

  • I have checked about:config and reset the recommended options from other articles ("...lastDir" was the only one of the list that had an entry).
  • Starting in Troubleshooting / Safe Mode does not fix.
  • I currently run Norton - disabling it did not seem to fix.
  • I don't have a Family group, so it's probably not the parental controls issue (though I think that was solved?)

I recognize that the lack of ability to download in Safe Mode points towards the possibility of an outside program blocking downloads, but I'm at a bit of a loss, since other browsers do work.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.

I recently changed to Firefox as my default web browser. I cannot prevent shortcuts from populating the browser when I visit sites. The sites add their shortcut no matter what.

I tried changing "settings > home" to not save shortcuts, which works. But even if I PIN those shortcuts I want to keep, they still get deleted. How do I fix this?

Hello team, I have an issue on some websites where certain images are being stretched out (whether smaller or larger) after Firefox v150.

This didn't happen before that. And, it doesn't happen in Edge nor in Vivaldi. I have no idea what changed.

Can you please resolve that? I was disappointed that v150.0.1 did not resolve it today.

You can see the logo top left here: https://earthgirl.host/

See the super speed eBook on the right sidebar: https://tribulant.com/blog/wordpress/replace-wordpress-cron-with-real-cron-for-site-speed/

Hopefully a resolution can be found quickly. Thank you.
