In Settings I have "Save files to" set to Desktop. Under Applications, I have PDF Files set to "Save File." If I download any other type of file, it is saved to the Desktop, as instructed. However, when I open Firefox, the Save dialog shows PDF files will be saved to Downloads. If I change it to Desktop, the file will be saved to the Desktop. Other types of file, as mentioned above, show Desktop as the default in the Save dialog. Once I set Desktop for a PDF file, it will be remembered until I close and reopen Firefox. It will then switch back to the Downloads folder, but again, only for PDF files. Why? This is something that has stated happening sometime over the last couple of months.

Windows 10 Pro 22H2, October 2025 patches installed. Firefox v144.0.2

This has now happened three times. I implemented the new profiles feature a few days ago, and have three profiles. The issue is that my main profile, every time I reboot my computer/open firefox forgets all my logins. I use a password manager and don't store them in firefox ; this has never been an issue before. It is happening on the same profile each time. My bookmarks/extensions stay the same. This is happening on sites even when I have clicked 'keep me logged in'. There is no site/login that is unaffected - it seems to reset my login status I want to reiterate this is all happening on the same profile - this is not an issue of logins not carrying between different profiles The only other setting I changed is auto-storing passwords on firefox [It had saved my master password accidentally, so.] But there were very few passwords actually stored there, and those sites worked before. I am on Win 11 and have had no issues previously

Den skriver: Åh nej, fanebladet er gået ned. It is the beginning page, where you come to in order to search on the browser, that it will not show. I have tried many times, but it is still striking.

Firefox is not deleting search history when using Clear Recent History. The URLs still appear in the Show All History.

In Settings under Privacy and Security, the box is ticked for Delete cookies and site data, and also for Clear history when Firefox closes. I have manually cleared cookies and site data and history within Settings, but the it still remains under History even when I've closed Firefox and restarted the PC.

Under Sync, the box for History is not ticked.

This has been happening for some time without me realising. I have now deleted pages.sqlite and this has cleared the history, but it still retains all new site data under History and will not clear it.

I have disabled then uninstalled anti-virus, I have removed CCleaner because this was also not deleting history.

And I've also reinstalled Firefox, but the problem persists.

What am I doing wrong please?

I am using Windows 11.

Upgraded my Mac to Apple OS TAHOE 26.0.1 and upgraded to Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch 64). Upon opening Firefox, the application hogs my computer's 8 GB memory, taking 6.3-7.9 gigs (!!!) with only one tab opened! When I try to browse and use it, it often freezes and for the first time in using MACs for 40 years I got a warning for excessive memory usage and prompt to force quit other apps. Firefox in this version is practically unusable (unless I get 16 gigs of memory!) I think guys that this version uses an excessive amount of resources, needs serious "diet" and compacting. Please fix our favorite browser in a trimmer new version. Or after 30 years nearly I (and many others with * gig machines) will have to switch default browser, not my favorite solution for sure

The latest update kicked me out of all the web pages I was logged into.

For most of those pages this is a minor inconvenience. For Deviant Art this caused an existential crises. My user name includes uppercase letters. Firefox password manager saved it in all lower case for some odd reason. And to make things even more frustrating, the username and password fields do not seem to recognize the auto fill. By the time I've realized what's going on, DA has locked me out from logging in or even attempting to recover my username and password until I clear the cache for another go... which means having to do the rounds of logging back into my e-mail and other accounts. Hopefully I've fixed the user name entry in the password file...

On the one hand, yes I'm frustrated, on the other, is there some way to fix the DA log in issue?

..and can we please not log people out of webpages when the browser updates? If that's at all possible? 

Heck, I'd settle for an easy way to clear site specific cookies. And it needs to be something I'm not going to have to search for the next time I'm booted out of a finicky website.

Hi, I like to use the Inspector window to modify layouts for printing &/or save as pdf only portions of a page or a whole page that's not laid out in a printer friendly way. Lately in the "Rules" pane of the Inspector window, I've noticed something I've never seen before. Normally it shows a list of rules for properties, attributes, etc...(CSS) which I can select or locate and change/modify with virtually no problems. Lately in that pane I've been seeing an item with an italicized title "element attributes style" and a lock icon on the upper left next to that text and it doesn't show show a link to the CSS page on the right side, nor does it allow me to select anything within. Does anybody know about this ?...is it some new setting or something that's changed in the newer versions of the browser. A couple of months ago I updated FF, which I hadn't done for awhile, and also just by chance, since that update I hadn't really used the Inspector for one reason or another, so I'm wondering if it's just a coincidence, since I had never seen it before. I'd appreciate any info or opinions about this. Thanks and wish everyone all the best.

Greetings.

Several times today I have had messages not sent because of this error message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue". I am sending political messages and am concerned that Mozilla is blocking me. I have sent hundreds of similar messages over the years with no problem.

What's up now?

Thank you. Sincerely, Gail Forrest

It was suggested that the pencil icon was not enabled.

The pencil icon shows that the shortcuts are enabled in the "on" blue position - 2 rows. I also checked the shortcut box in the firefox settings home and it is "on " as well.

Tried rebooting my Dell laptop running windows 11 and still no shortcut appearance on the opening page.

Thanks for your help.

I have a Canon TR8620 printer and a desktop PC. Yesterday I tried printing off a couple of text selections from two different sites. Both times the printer malfunctioned, printed the selection only partially and kept repeating this until I turned the printer off.

I contacted Canon support, and we went through a series of troubleshooting exercises, and he determined there was no problem with the printer itself. He suggested I tried printing from another browser.

I switched to MS Edge and successfully printed off two different items without a hitch. He and I both agreed that it appears to be a Firefox problem.

I recently updated Firefox to 144.0.2 (64-bit) and am suspicious the problem may lie there. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I don't necessarily have a question, I just thought you might want to be made aware of this problem.
