Firefox just updated to Ver. 150, with an announcement tab telling about Firefox VPN. There is no invitation to set up, and no VPN logo. Neither is there one in the Customize Toolbar panel.

What now?

I tried starting the VPN. Got all the way to where it said, go to "open" panel and turn it on. I did not see nor do I know where the panel is. I tried the 3-hash mark menu on the right. Didn't see anything about turning on the VPN. I run into this problem sometimes, where it is assumed I know something when I don't. The people who write the instructions work with the software know what they are talking about. Those of us who don't, don't always know what they are talking about. That knowledge shouldn't be assumed. So at the risk of "talking down" to your customers, give a few hints sometimes. Thank you.

When I scan a multiple barcodes, Firefox does not add the "enter" function between them, and as a result the barcodes just stack one after another. This started happening yesterday. The attached image is showing two barcodes is succession. It used to automatically add the enter function after the barcode was scanned. I have tried multiple scanners and the same thing happens. It works fine in Chrome, but I really don't want to use Chrome.

I let my Firefox update not even an hour ago. I went to right click and copy some text and the menu is now BLANK expect for "Search Google". I copy and paste in the browser A LOT. I need this fixed. Next time you guys push out an update I'm going to ignore it.

I am unable to use passkey with the 150.0 (64-bit) update of firefox. I get a message "The operation is insecure." when trying to create a new passkey and when attempting to use a passkey that has worked for months I now get "Passkey authentication error: The operation is insecure." Unfortunately the same day Microsoft patches were also applied, KB5086096 KB5086097 KB5091596 KB5082417 and KB5083769, 26200.8246 which could also the the problems, but firefox is reporting the error, so I am contacting you. This in on a Windows 11, version 24H2 system.

as soon as i startup firefox it has a quick flash of white before the background image comes up. it happens on new profiles/troubleshooting mode.

i have tried disabling hardware acceleration and it doesnt seem to help.

When Firefox updated 149.0.2 to 150. Every time, I am watching video any site when I click the pop out button Firefox crashes and sends a report. I copied the text file from two of them(last one copied to share data). I do disk image backups and went back to before the update 149.0.2. Turned off auto update in setting and everything is ok now. Any suggestions?

When I restart Firefox, or my PC wakes from sleep, my Firefox windows are all in a different order.

Also a number of Firefox windows often just die or don't appear on restarting Firefox.

Is there a way to make sure that the Firefox windows appear in the same order and number as before?

At the moment I have to close Firefox windows and start them manually loading tabs from bookmarks. I would have thought that there must be a better way but I can't find it.

It seems as if Firefox should number the windows and keep a list of tabs open in each window, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I missing? Is there a setting I need to change?

I'm running Windows 11 Pro

I cannot find the new built-in VPN or any icon to add to my toolbar. It was offered to me after update 150 but it only brought me to the support page on how to add it to toolbar. The icon is not at upper right corner of browser. And I found no way via Customize Toolbar to add the new VPN to toolbar.

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

Suspected sessionstore.jsonlz4 corruption possible Sync rollback conflicts -

Please direct post to Sumo forum including jscher2000 or like-minded wizards.  Chat takes you down a never-ending rabbit hole.   Sync rollback conflicts - extremely large tab sessions spontaneous restoration of previously closed tabs during live browsing

Read several different instructions on Chatgpt that takes you down a never-ending rabbit hole. Firefox is restoring previously closed tabs from days or weeks earlier without user input during active use while typing in the middle of the keyboard with an activated red stylus mouse - used frequently and/or with an external mouse. The thumb pad is turned off. There are no shift, windows, 7 strokes. Upon restart of the computer, the Firefox settings are set to restore only active tabs open from previous session. This is a Lenovo T16 Thinkpad product no. 21HH003yus. The issue appears to be related to session restore corruption, possibly triggered by very large tab volumes (hundreds of tabs). Windows 11 that tabs reopen during active typing (not startup) hundreds of tabs open whether Firefox Sync is enabled ???? whether crashes/freezes occur - no whether the same old tabs repeatedly resurrect - no, but there are so many of them from weeks and months ago. whether you use session/tab extensions  ??? Believe recent version of Firefox or close.

Help please direct post to Sumo forum including jscher2000 or like-minded wizards familiar with suspected sessionstore.jsonlz4 corruption issues. Thanks so much!

After upgrading to 149.0.2 (64-bit), when starting FF or opening an new tab, the preferred URL is not loaded. It is configured in Settings/Home/New Windows and Tabs All previuos FF versions were OK with the same URl (https://search.yahoo.com/web/advanced)

I run the current version of Firefox on a Dell Inspiron laptop under Windows 11 Pro. I have around 8,000 bookmarks, and I try to keep them current. Every so often, quite a few (about half) of my tags disappear, and I have to spend two or three days restoring them. Why do the tags disappear, and how can I prevent their loss?
