Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

Hello

I'm using a Mac with 15.0.1. I downloaded Firefox a couple of days ago. All seems to be working fine. I've not made any settings changes and all websites seem to be operating as expected. However, I cannot get Facebook to load at all. I know that when I tried using Mozilla Firefox in the past I had the same problem and eventually just gave up. When I enter www.facebook.com with a URL and press enter, I get the following: "

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at facebook.com.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.
   If you are trying to load a local network page, please check that Firefox has been granted Local Network permissions in the macOS Privacy & Security settings.

"

It's important to note that I have not made any changes to the default settings. I have not in any way configured or changed any settings at all. So I would expect this to work out of the box. Firefox is: 137.0.1 (aarch64).

Not sure why this is happening and why I need to go through so many directions to trying work out why a simple website won't work. Any help would be really appreciated.

Launching the new Firefox v137.00, it stalls for a long time, then I get the 'The connection has timed out' error. When I look into the Settings I notice in the Startup that both options available are greyed out. Under that that notice 'Firefox is currently your default browser' is displayed normally. So far I have done the following; re-installed v137.00, restarted with my antivirus & VPN (BitDefender)both on & off with no success. It thens drops an error file crash report but I have no idea what all that code means. Any ideas out there? Thanx In Advance!

So when i first updated to 137.0 tab groups were working fine, then one day i couldn't create any more. I had a previous tab group, but when i deleted it, there was no way to make another. I tried dragging tabs on top of each other, tried right clicking a tab to "Add Tab to New Group" but there wasn't an option. I updated to 137.0.1 to see if that would fix it, and it didn't. I then tried to uninstall and reinstall still no. I turned my computer off and then on again and also no.

I'd really appreciate any help with this because i'm kinda tearing my hair out trying to find out what changed.

I got a new computer and created a login to copy all my browser info from old to new. Worked great until I went back to the old computer and realized all my tabs set to open had been forgotten. Closed and opened the browser a couple of times trying things before I discovered you can set it to reopen the tabs from last time (which was 3 times ago). I guess I'm screwed but what I thought was an easy copy turned into a headache.

Hi can anyone help me figure out how to restore my bookmarks from my old browser? I have my old firefox data in a folder on my desktop but it won't link automatically because I had to reinstall firefox because it wasn't opening. Whenever I try to follow the main help page to copy/paste the files into my new profile it isn't working, and I am not sure if I should copy the files into a different folder (I opened the root directory for my new/named profile).

after updated to version 137.0 , when i login any sites its always prompt "password update or not" its already saved before.

in previous all version i not face that type of issue kindly fix it.

thanks

regards Sagar

In recent Firefox versions, the behavior of window.open() has changed. When opening a new window with an empty URL (), Firefox opens a blank tab (about:blank) and then loads the specified content. However, the about:blank tab may not close automatically as it did in earlier versions.

I'm on a 2017 Macbook Pro. I believe I was using Firefox 137.0 but have now gone back to the last saved update session file which is 133.0.3.

When I close Firefox, it clearly recognises all the open windows as it asks if I want to close all 6 windows. When I reopen Firefox it briefly shows all the windows in position but before it reopens all the tabs in those windows, 2 of them disappear. If I open a new tab and start typing something I know is in those missing windows it suggests "Switch to tab". If I click on that the current window dulls as if the requested window and its tabs have become active but the entire window is invisible. I have tried renaming xulstore and localstore and tried deleting xulstore entirely. Neither worked. It's possible that I hit some mental combination of shift, command and something near the 3 or 4 keys on the keyboard as I was trying to take a quick screenshot on a website before a pop up reappeared. This was the last session where everything was as it should be. I wish I hadn't gone back to the saved update session from December as its clear the app still recognises the windows are "there". I've reopened it so many times since having deleted tabs, cookies, whatnot that the session I was in before things went pear shaped is now long gone. If I click on the icon for recent browsing it shows 6 windows and I subsequently deleted some tabs from the missing windows that might've been an issue, were recent, or might use more power like Youtube or news sites. On restarting, the 2 missing windows remain invisible. In the words of Penelope Pitstop. "Hayulp!" Any guidance or tissues gratefully received.

I had the same Firefox account before, and after I re-downloaded Firefox and logged in, my bookmarks and passwords that I had previously synchronized with my Firefox account were gone. I logged into this account and it was even recognized as a newly created account, what is going on?

Hello! I am working on a brand new computer (i7 14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5) with a brand new install of Firefox and sometimes it just won't load certain pages without me stopping it, refreshing, and then (most of the time) it all pops in. Browsing the web works perfectly in Edge, but in Firefox it has been a struggle. Some sites, like Discord, load VERY slowly and most of the time I need to force a refresh via shift and hitting refresh. Discord will take so long to load any image that I see it as a colorful blur before the photo fully loads in for view.

I'm running the most recent version of Windows 11, Firefox v137.0.1 (also had this issue with v137).

I have tried things in Troubleshoot Mode and didn't make a difference. I uninstalled Firefox, removed the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder, and reinstalled but no change. What I haven't tried is Refresh Firefox, but that's because since Troubleshoot Mode didn't make a difference it's a bit hard to imagine Refresh Firefox will -- but if people think it's worth trying I certainly will give it a go!

I've been a FF user for as long as I can remember and I really don't want to give it up so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on here because I am currently at a loss and it's a big bummer.

Thanks in advance for the help!
