Firefox on Windows > History > Restore previous session : Doesn't open windows in original order anymore

I noticed that in the last few months (maybe longer) the windows which were open before Firefox was shut down no longer open up in the same order after Firefox is restarted and 'History > Restore previous session' is selected (I want me to decide whether windows and tabs are re-opened after a Firefox restart, so I don't know if the same problem happens when the setting "Open previous windows and tabs" is selected).

This has been a problem a long(er) time ago, then it worked fine again, and now it happens again.

This might not seam like a big problem but I open new Firefox windows for each 'topic' I want to browse plus the first couple of windows are 'dedicated' to specific things.

But when the windows are 'out of the correct order' I can't just find things the (for me) usual place or windows opened for specific topics- and that is quite annoying. That is the background for this post.

I'm using Windows 11 version 25H2, and my Firefox is up to date (147.0.2)

I hope there are some Mozilla employees working with Firefox in this community (as they have the most 'inside knowledge', but I would of course very much also hear about experiences and ideas regarding this from other Firefox users :-)

The Thunderbird password I've used for YEARS (and is stored in "Saved Passwords") no longer works. I have two laptops with the same password, and they both ceased (on the same day) allowing downloads (or sending) of emails. This occurs on both my laptops -- one has TB version 115.10.1 w/ Windows 10, and the other has 140.5.0esr w/ Windows 11. It also occurs on my iPhone when trying to access the mail server.

Could the problem be the mail server itself?

Please Advise

I currently use imap with my email hosting provider and has worked well with Thunderbird. However, speeds are getting slower and storage costs have gone up. It is time for me to move non-current emails from my email account to back it up while still accessible. I was wondering if Thunderbird's Local Folders default path (C:\Users\......\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\......\Mail\Local Folders) can be changed to a google drive folder on D:\ drive. If there are any risks in doing so. Thanks.

My bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar have disappeared, I can no longer save a bookmark anywhere. Some of my bookmark folders have disappeared. I have tried restoring but I get the message "unable to process backup file"even after importing the file from my other laptop using both HTML files and .json files. I tried refreshing firefox, that didn't help. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it with the same results. Never had a problem with firefox before, but it's useless now! Can anyone help?

I use Firefox as my default browser, and I like it very much.

Problem: I received an outlook email with a link to a Docusign envelope. The link would not connect with Docusign.

Work Around: When I used another browser, Microsoft Edge, the link opened up right away.

Additional Information: I use another digital signature program, Dotloop, and it works without any issues on Firefox.

Question: What can I do to make sure that Docusign works properly on Firefox?

Thank you!

I was doing puzzles on my sons account because i cancelled my previous account but decided to reactivate Facebook on Fire fox. My sons account was on Edge but I put my new account on Fire Fox. I reactivated my new account on 6/29/24 got a new computer with Windows 11 and when I try to access it, it tells me to download it. What I need is to be able to activate it on my Windows 11 in order to use it. If you need any more information I will be glad to give it to you. It was downloaded from my old Windows 10 on to my Windows 11. Hope this make sense to you.

Hello! The other day everything worked as usual, and I shut down the computer for the night. The next morning, Thunderbird immediately crashed/shut down when starting each of the 2 profiles I always use. The 3rd profile, which is the default-release running a different email, still seems to work normally. Thunderbird 115.10.1

I have tried Windows (10) safe mode, as well as thunderbird Troubleshoot mode and working offline, but the issue continued to occur.

I'm at a loss now as to what could cause 2 profiles to suddenly cause it to crash. By the way, one profile is for a gmail account and the other one is for an Outlook account, so they don't seem to be related.

In case it helps, there were 2 Microsoft Visual C++ programs installed or updated, and updates to Microsoft 365 and Google Drive just before the problem started. These were all auto updates in the background.

Any help from the Community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

this feature absolutely DOES NOT WORK on ANY Firefox desktop browser on MULTIPLE machines I have tried - and actually I'm pretty sure I can say the same thing about the ANDROID app too?

I can confirm EVERY SITE I have trouble signing in using Passkey on Firefox I can SUCCESSFULLY sign into on Chrome - every single time - the issue is clearly the BROWSER

worse still, it often COMPLETELY CRASHES Firefox and I have to forcibly KILL the process and restart Firefox, after even ATTEMPTING to use this feature

I have tried it on M1 Macbook Pros, on Ubuntu desktops (24.04 LTS) and also on Android

right now I am typing this in on a Firefox I literally just had to Force Quit and restart on a Mac - build 147.0.2 (aarch64)
