Hi, whenever i open the instagram web's reels tab and start scrolling down a bit the audio breaks down, crackling/buzzing. ive contacted razer's support and then i tried the website on 2 different websites and it worked fine there and razer support told me that the issue isnt with my device but with mozilla. i thought it was because of my headphones at first as i tried it on 2 different computer, one being a desktop and other being laptop and only when i use instagram web's reels tab on mozilla. once i use it every other audio breaks down too including games/other browsers etc. . i tried to contact with meta support too but comes out they dont offer a support to those who dont have paid subscription and the issue only happens on mozilla firefox application

I have been using container tabs to juggle my corporate and personal github accounts. Until very recently, clicking a link from another app (email, etc) would start to open a new tab and then pop up a dialog asking me to confirm which container to use (see first attachment).

Unfortunately, now when I click on links it just loads straight to my "OSS github" container, which naturally produces a 404 error because my personal github account doesn't have access to the corporate repo (see second attachment).

At first, I thought I had accidentally clicked the "remember my decision" box. But the confirmation dialog still works if I open a new tab and paste the link in the address bar. It just doesn't work when other apps try to open a link in Firefox.

Is the new behavior intentional? Or did something accidentally break?

Lately most times when Firefox updates it wipes my tabs and I have to rebuild them because backing up the tabs won't work so I got in the habit of going to bookmarks and reloading them from there. Today it not only won't automatically open my tabs but won't let me even load most hand selected tabs. I have been using Mozilla, Netscape Navigator since the early days with no other problems except this. I have been using Avast Premium Security on windows 10 and it reports no problems. I will have to check one of my Linux machines because Firefox won't open the tab for Hotmail. Any help will be appreciated.

Rather than have dedicated computers for Work and Personal use I have dedicated accounts on multiple computers. Up until now I have been using Chrome for Work and Safari for Personal. I have been having more and more issues with Chrome, so I am moving my Work configuration to Firefox. Unfortunately, I have found a MAJOR difference in behavior. In Chrome I have 9 tabs setup to open when I start Chrome (my Home Page), these are the tools I use in my job; Jira, M365, Zabbix, GitLab, Digital Ocean, and a bunch of in-house tools. I set these up in Firefox, so far, so good. Unfortunately when I open a New Window, as I often do when working a specific problem, I get all of my Home tabs and I need to go through and close them all.

So my question is WHY there is not a setting to enable Home Page separate from New Window? I did find this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281079 but it does not really answer the question as to why we cannot have the same behavior as Chrome. I understand that the current design just calls the same New Window code whether it is the first Window or the 100th Window, but setting a flag in memory once the first Window has been opened and checking that flag to determine if the New Window needs to open all the Tabs should not be that large a code change. Note I said a flag in memory and not on disk, as that would be a performance hit.

My second question is whether the powers that control Firefox would be open to such a code change if submitted? I understand how Open Source works and features that the volunteers working on code want to see are the ones that get developed.

Thank you.

Firefox in an enterprise environment. AppAutoUpdate=1 and BackgroundAppUpdate=1 My goal is to have PC's automatically update so Tennable Vul Scan doesn't go critical every other week. This is affecting most of the PC's as far as I can tell in our environment. If the user actually opens Firefox and uses it, that appears to resolve the issue.

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Mozilla\Firefox Background Update 308046B0AF4A39CB" , instance "{e8f86ec1-b3c9-4591-ad09-3bb858dece98}" , action "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with return code 2147942421.

It's my understanding that this operation should be handled by Mozilla Maintenace Service and should be able to update in the background every 7 hours if the browser is not opened.

Couldn't find this return code associated with Firefox so I'm hoping the pros here have some insight!

Manually pushing the installer is time consuming and like many companies who like to use Firefox as an alternative browser not running Chromium and/or for their IT dept I'm considering removing it from the environment due to the background updates being difficult compared to Chrome. Chrome has the force restart, etc for GPO.

I don't know how to put it into words that well, but, it's as if my Firefox is just a clickable picture. If I try to use the search engine, it won't let me search, just put words in. If I try to open the menu, I can't, I can only click on the three lines with no pop-up. I can't use my addons, I can't even open another tab. I've tried opening other windows, restarting my computer, leaving it off for a while, and letting it stay on for hours, but it still isn't working. I tried running the updater, but It won't run. I tried running the maintenance service, same outcome. I don't want to delete Firefox because I fear that my account didn't probably sync some important things. I don't know what to do, this all happened after an update. Here's a video of what's going on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PBpoHDn29gUp2mCK8I38V4oPwsXRwL0r/view?usp=sharing

I tried to create a default Windows profile with pre-configured app settings, including FF. I created a temporary user, logged in, installed FF and configured it, also installed some add-ons (first of all, ublock origin). Then I logged out, logged as an administrator and moved the temporary user profile to the default profile location (c:\Users\Temp -> c:\Users\Default), and then reset its NTFS permissions. This almost always works for all applications, including Google Chrome. I created a new user and logged in, opened FF. The settings were applied, but the extensions did NOT work, and even the buttons on the toolbar looked like empty squares. At the same time, the add-ons were present in the list of add-ons in settings, although without icons. It helped to turn off and turn on all the add-ons one by one, manually.

After some research, I realized that FF binds its settings to absolute paths to add-on files (*.xpi), specifically in the $profile/extensions.json and $profile/addonStartup.json.lz4 files. Google Chrome, for example, doesn't do anything simular, like the vast majority of applications. Removing these files from the profile will cause all add-ons to be "reinstalled" on first launch and set to a disabled status.

An easier way to reproduce the problem: 1. Run firefox -profile d:\temp\profile1 2. Install some extensions. 3. Rename profile1 folder to profile2. 4. Run firefox -profile d:\temp\profile2 5. Got it!

For what purposes does firefox bind to absolute add-on paths, and how can this problem be solved? P.S. I know about portable firefox from PortableApps.com, but I don't want to use a third-party loader for my tasks.
