Firefox Community Forum

Out of nowhere, the Nightly browser starts with Windows & a new profile. This forces me to go to Settings to uncheck the setting for Nightly to start when I start Windows.

First, the setting "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" should never, ever be checked by default.

Second, this has happened on both my Win11 computers with Nightly. What is concerning is that somehow a Nightly update out of the blue created a brand new profile--I have a specific profile I use for my Nightly installs--with the start with Windows startup setting checked. This should not happen even with an alpha app like Nightly. The update process should only be using the profile running when the update process takes place.

This forces me to run the Firefox Profile Manager to delete the profile that was created out of the blue.

Honestly, if this is not addressed, I will have to stop using Firefox, Beta & Nightly. I have Firefox since it first was pre-version 1.0, but I refuse to use an app that thinks it is acceptable to make default a setting like Start with Windows startup.

I have installed the .deb version of Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu. It was recently replaced by unattended-upgrades with the snap version. I get the impressions that is due to the fact that unattended-upgrades does not consider https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release as a source when running.

It seems that it would be possible to configure unattended-upgrades to include https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release.

The current value for "Origin" in https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release is "namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/repositories/mozilla" (to me pr-number looks like a pull request).

I would like to confirm whether or not this is a stable value for Origin, and if not - can a stable value be allocated?

It seems that after the last automatic update of Firefox, the shortcut to launch it, which was previously on the desktop, was removed, and the Firefox.exe file appeared in its place. I've attached the properties of the new file. My antivirus doesn't flag it as malware and I haven't run the specified file before. Is this an update error?

FireFox Browser messed up my Internet Download Manager and made it impossible to copy and paste from MS WORD to my emails. Once I uninstalled IDM, I was able to copy and paste. I could not even open a picture in another TAB as before. So the browser was updated and messed everything up. I tried the MS EDGE browser, and it functioned like FireFox browser use to as of today.

I am facing an issue with Firefox where every time the browser updates, all of my accounts get logged out, including YouTube, ChatGPT, and other websites. I have already tried repairing, uninstalling, and reinstalling Firefox, but the problem still persists.
