Summary: Uploading a file to a custom webapp with Chromium (Edge) works but consistently fails in Firefox. In Firefox the request is created, and times out. The server receives no file and logs “missing file.” The same webapp code is running on both Chromium and Firefox.

Environment:

• Next.js app (pages/api route)
• Endpoint: POST /api/file-upload
• Client: fetch(url, { method: "POST", body: FormData, credentials: "include" })
• Server: export const config = { api: { bodyParser: false } } + multipart parsing (formidable)
• Edge/Chromium: Version 141.0.3537.85
• Firefox Version 147.0.3 (64-bit)
• OS: Ubuntu 22 / Linux

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a FormData object and append a local file:

  const fd = new FormData();
  fd.append("template", file, file.name);
  fetch(`/api/file-upload`, {
    method: "POST",
    body: fd,

1. In Edge/Chrome, upload succeeds. Server receives multipart body and parses the file. Actual behavior in Firefox:

• Transferred: 0 B
• No response status/body
• Client times out (Upload times out)
• File upload request received
• No bytes read server‑side.

Evidence:

• Edge request logs:
  • content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary...
  • bytesRead ~1.69MB
• Firefox request logs:
  • Transferred 0 B
  • File upload missing file field

Notes:

• Client FormData is valid; we log file.name and file.size right before fetch.
• There is a CSP report‑only warning (frame‑ancestors) when using a fallback iframe approach, but we are not using iframe in the failing case.

Question: Is there a known issue where Firefox blocks or fails to send and multipart/body can be stripped before it leaves the browser? Is there a recommended workaround that does not rely on browser sniffing?

Not sure if I need to reinstall. I have an account. I'm looking for the page with the checkmarks (hide people you know, wants to be friends, delete entire right side, etc. There have been an overwhelming abundance of ads sneaking into my feed. Should I re-install? Actually, I tried but nothing gets updated. Mostly, I have relied on F.B Purity probably 10+ years. And now I don't know how to revive it.

После включения ПК бывает, что я не могу ввести текст в браузере.(как буд-то включается режим только для чтения, что не позволяет текст ввести). горячие клавиши работают, но текст не вводиться только в браузере. Оно само по себе проходит. Как это исправить?

good morning,

I am having problems using a third-party website, playing chess, and one of the functions on their website is not available to me because I keep getting an error message. they have a forum on which I am discussing this issue with one of their Mod's, and he seems to be under the impression it has something to do with my Browser (Firefox 115.32.0esr) storing site data, and that the file in which this is stored has become corrupted in some way. I have no idea how he arrived at this conclusion but that is what he said.

I assured him that, "in Firefox, under <Privacy and Security>, in <Cookies and Site Data>, there is an option marked: "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed." this has a tick box next to it and on my computer this has been selected for about the last five or six years. the browser does not retain site data or cookies and deletes them each time it closes. when I follow the instructions you linked to, and click <Manage Data>, there is no data to manage. it does not exist."

however, he replied to this that: "I don’t think that setting deletes Local Storage, though I’m not 100% certain."

one observation I make is that when I open the <Cookies and Site Data> <Manage Data> dialogue, the websites I have visited in the current session are listed. this data therefore does exist, and there must therefore be a file, even if only temporarily, containing this data. my question is about what exactly happens to this file when I close the session.

1) is the file emptied of data, but still exists as a file.

or

2) is the file physically deleted so that it no longer exists.

if, after the session, I reopen the browser and select the <Clear Data> dialogue and click <Clear> does this simply empty the file or does it physically delete the file. if the file still exists, is there any way to ensure that it is physically deleted in order to confirm that it is not corrupted in some way?

thank you.

I have an idea for improvement of the mozilla browser, but I don't want to send it online here. So can you please give an email address and I will send it there instead(?).

Hi, Since the search open tabs function is part of the overflow button in a horizontal tab layout, when you switch to vertical tabs, you lose that search function. Is there a way to add it to my vertical tab layout? Thanks, Scott

Hi,

I just updated to the latest version of Mozilla FireFox and my bookmarks dissappeard.

All are gone, I wonder how I can get them back?

Many thanks,

[article] This article claims there is an "AI Controls" section in Settings. This is not found in v 147.03 (up to date) for Mac. Please let me know how to disable all AI in Firefox.

I don't know how to get to my prior question to update it I submitted a support question a short time ago about Firefox manage bookmarks using Waterfox version. I now think I could have been duped by the colour of the window bar. I have also found that firefox manage bookmarks does not show individual bookmarks that are not in folders - in the left pane. This also threw me. However, when I click on Bookmarks menu in left pane, the individual bookmarks are all shown in the RHS pane. I have done a quick check and the list does not contain at least two bookmark folders that are in my Waterfox bookmarks - I did not try to check all. I now think there is no problem. Interested whether anyone else has raised this. MY SUGGESTION - in the past I am confident that manage bookmarks function did not use waterfox color. In the next update try to change the manage bookmarks function window to a color different to Waterfox colors. This may not be possible if waterfox simply inherits the manage bookmarks function code incl colors.

Prior question text pasted here for completeness Yesterday I was using both Firefox and Waterfox. Since then when I try to use manage bookmarks in Firefox - I get the waterfox version of manage bookmarks showing the waterfox bookmarks list. Is there a way to get the firefox manage books back again

When I log in to my Apple tv account on the Firefox browser, it comes up, but won't play the selected program. All other streaming services I subscribe to work fine on Firefox, as did Apple tv until this week. If I try running Apple tv on Google chrome on the same lap top, it works fine too. Ditto on my iPhone using Safari. I'd prefer staying on Firefox to stream Apple tv, but can't make it work at the present time. Can you help?

When using Firefox mobile for android, a black bar appears at the bottom of the screen, above the address bar. Please see attached picture.

It only seems to occur when the "scroll to hide toolbar" setting is disabled. The bar moves upwards when using the keyboard.

Samsung galaxy s25 Android version 15 Firefox version 147.0.3 (Build #2016141759)

Please let me know if any more information is necessary.

I seem to be unable to install Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop because there is apparently an old version already on my computer. I wish to reinstall Firefox with your help

The last automatic browser update (147.0.3 (aarch64)) has wiped off all changes I made to bookmarks and passwords from the past year.

How can I go back to a previous version and recover my details?

This browser version is terrible and looks exactly like Microsoft Edge which is not intuitive at all. I don't want to set up multiple personas, Its just me and the one computer?

Please help me. Kerri

After updating to Firefox 147.0.3 all of my browser history (along with open tabs at the time of updating) is lost. I just updated to Windows 11 workstations (plus a couple of older Windows 10 workstations) to the current (Feb 2026) updates too. However the history data was lost before the Windows updates. I noticed that with the previous update of Firefox that saved login information was also lost. Who is doing your program updates, a chimp?

In the past when an update was done the browser would open back up with all of the previous versions session tabs in tact. But not now.

I've lost several tabs of research that was being done. Based on what has been happening, I will HAVE to change to some other browser. This is a shame as I've been a loyal Firefox user since day one. Good bye Mozilla and Firefox.
