Tried everything Please help how to get back my bookmarks on Firefox on my Imac This sometimes happens when install overnight usually view..side bar...bookmarks works but not this time the toolbar bookmark shows empty????

Hi,

I use Firefox app in macos, android and ipados. The bookmarks across them are not synching automatically. I need to press sync manuelly to do. All apps are updated, all settings look fine. Please help me synch bookmarks across platforms. Thanks a lot.

All of a sudden I cannot check out using shop on my IMAC. It has worked for me for years and now all of a sudden it stopped. Not sure what settings to edit. I can go through the check out process, but when I press check out the page will not load. I just get a shadow & spinning like it's trying to upload but it never does. If I switch to Safari I have no problems, but I prefer Firefox. Any suggestions or solutions appreciated. Lorri

Dear Firefox,

When I copy and paste from Pages on a Mac, to a gmail email I am writing, I lose all the formatting. This doesn't happen when using a Brave browser, so I don't think its a gmail settings issue.

Can you help?

Is there a setting in Firefox that I could use to overcome this issue?

Thank you,

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with the M5 chip. I am a Firefox user for many years as I prefer it to Safari or Chrome. I noticed that some of the bookmark links are having issues loading. There is a little dot that moves back and forth L to R next to the site name in the toolbar [see screenshot]. Some of the pages do not load and just stay blank. I reached out to Apple and they recommended to reach out to Firefox re updates as perhaps this issue may be addressed.

Please advise.

Thank... Janice Engel

Every few Google searches, I get an unsual traffic message with a captcha to prove I'm human. This only happens with Google searches and I don't have the same issue on Chrome or Safari (I'm on a Mac). This only began about two months ago.

It's driving me nuts. I love so many things about Firefox, but this has been going on for months, and I'm about to give up. I found some "solutions" about privacy settings, but none of them have worked so far. I have changed IpV6 settings, privacy settings in about:config, and proxy settings in Firefox. Nothing has stopped it.

This only happens when I search on Google. It seems clear to me that Google and Firefox are not playing well together.

Is anybody else still experiencing this? Has anyone found a solution other than what I've noted above?

Hi I use VoiceOver on my Mac to type quickly and it is integral for my day-to-day tasks. However, I encounter an issue when using certain commands to make selections and subsequent corrections to things I type in a text field.

A brief explanation of VoiceOver I am having issue with I speak "select previous word/sentence/paragraph" etc. (anything that isn't x letters) the command is not executed properly.

To be completely honest the commands are unpredicatble and more often than not select commands do not work.

So if I am searching something on google and VoiceOver mistypes or mishears something I need to manually go back and correct it, this is a big accesibility issue and it's a shame because I love firefox, however this is a major accesibility issue for me.

Firefox is showing a badge on its dock icon. It's a flower. I think! But I have no idea what it means. What does it mean?

(No topic best described my question, so I picked one at random.)

Is there a way to add voices to the Read Aloud feature in Reader View on Firefox? I'm on macOS and have some voices downloaded in my System Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content, but I'm not sure if I can also use them in Firefox.

Over the past six weeks I have had two failures of Firefox [running current version 146.0 (aarch64)] in completing CC payment processes -- at least one involved updating an expired car, I can't recall if the other involved such a change or just entering a card.

I am using Firefox on a mac mini M4 Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 (up to date, fully supported, but not Tahoe the recently released new version of macOS). I am running Firefox with 4 extensions -- 1 Password, Print Friendly, Raindrop.io, and Authenticator. None were being actively used during these incidents.

In both cases when I switched to Safari and opened the sites, I was able to successfully complete the CC changes and payments. So it does not appear to be related to a problem in my internet connection.

My questions are: a) has anyone had a similar experience with Firefox

     -- particularly incidents related to online financial transactions

b) if so, have you found a solution c) regardless, do you have any suggestions about the cause of the problem or changes to try

Otherwise, my experience with Firefox has been excellent and I am very happy with it, but this is obviously a frustrating and time-consuming problem.

I have reported it to Firefox -- the response was that they will look into it but that my next step should to ask "the community" here.

My thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Whenever I wake my mac from sleep, Firefox is unresponsive. I believe the app is not dead, just not repainting the window. Sometimes if I 'hide' Firefox window behind some other app window, then bring it back to top, it'll re-paint.

For a while I fixed the issue by disabling GPU usage in firefox. But now, even that isn't helping. Then for a while, removing and reconnecting the USB-C connection to my external monitor would fix it, but now that doesn't help.

Have to quit firefox completely and relaunch. Then the app is working again.

Using Firefox 146.0.1 (64-bit) on Mac (2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, macOS 15.7.3)

I've used Firefox for years, but recently Firefox is unusable on Mac OS 15.7.2 because it's hogging all the RAM over time. I get a spinning beachball on my MacBook Pro. I look at the RAM being used and it's even over what I have in the computer. I have and always keep Firefox updated to the latest version.

For several months now I am not longer able to use Firefox when signing into sites (Bank of America, ID me) that authenticate using a security device. I have refreshed firefox and turned off enhanced tracking protection for those sites - but no change. When I long in and get to the authentication stage I immediately get an error before using the device; then later when I refresh and use the device Firefox freezes and is unresponsive. It does not show "unresponsive" in Force Quit - but the only way to do anything is to quit firefox. I'm running Sonoma 14, the latest version of Firefox. This is a major problem - I'm using Firefox for security and now I have to go to another browser each time I want to securely sign in to a site.

After update tahoe 26.1 update on mac firefox keeps stalling are they fixing this before i switch? I have a lot of tabs and things here but if you keep freezing I am going to switch. Are they fixing this? I already did all the things you suggest online. It freezes, and I can't keep this up?
