I took the free Windows 11 upgrade. Mozilla FF thinks I'm on Windows 10.

When File Explorer of Windows 11 25H2 tries to access and open an icon-file in the FF (144-64bit) profile's 'shortcutcache' folder, explorer gets Access Denied. The account running Firefox has admin rights.
Looking to the ACL of the profile folder containing the folder 'shortcutcache' show no reason for the blocking. Trying this with a new profile did not help.

Hi. According to my observations, only Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Reader have this problem so far.
Windows 11 + Multi-Monitoring Windows 10 have this Bug not !
Open Firefox, drag the window to the second or third monitor, and suddenly there is another hidden Firefox window on the taskbar of that display. If you move Firefox back to the main monitor, it disappears again. Or you can close Firefox and restart it on the desired monitor.
This is an annoying little bug, and I don't understand why Microsoft or Mozilla haven't fixed it yet. It's easy to reproduce and has obviously been around for a while. Since it only affects the two programs mentioned above so far, an MS update will probably not fix it; instead, the developers at Mozilla and Adobe need to address it.
Here the Same Topic in Adobe Forum. No bug fix to date
I hope you release a bug fix soon... but since that hasn't happened yet, I'm afraid it will take a while... I'm surprised, because I'm sure many people are experiencing this annoying problem, and in my opinion it's not a big challenge for your developers.
@Mozilla
Please Fix this Bug.
I know Windows 11 is not better than Windows 10 but Supports End and many Users and Customers used in Future this OS and if you don't want to lose any more market share, it's important to fix this minor bug for ordinary users too. Thanks ;-)

For some reason text rendered in canvases (used by Minecraft hostings to display console) is distorted. I'm not getting this behavior in other browsers (including Zen – Firefox fork). The issue persists in both stable and nightly versions, with and without hardware acceleration, in safe mode too. Any clues?

Firefox recently sent out its monthly newsletter (Oct '25) with all sorts of options that can be enabled on Firefox. I'm a computer illiterate & foolishly chose some of the options -- don't remember which nor know how to discover them.
Now javascript is no longer enabled on my MacBook Air (macOs Big Sur 11.7.10). I cannot access my protonmail account and many many other sites.
I've gone cross-eyed accessing "fixes" that are labelled "only for advanced users" & am bright enough to not even try.
Is there a simple fix (short of wiping my computer -- with data going back 11 years) that even I can do?

My Windows11 taskbar has an icon for firefox. If i left click on it (or just hovers) it shows thumbnail preview of the open windows. If to many it turns into a vertical list with the window names.
Lately (couple of months), when two or more firefox tabs or windows are open, I get a vertical list with those open windows but beneath it a complete list of empty entries (even more than there are processes in the task manager ...).
When I restart Windows it goes away for a while. But sometimes returns, I feel it is related to Windows updates as I have the feeling it started with a Windows update, went away with an update and is now back with an update. But that is just a feeling.
I attach an image with that empty list.

I am experiencing significant performance problems in Mozilla Firefox when using certain AI-powered tools. Below are the specific issues:
Flux AI & Diagramming AI Performance Warnings
Issue: When accessing Flux AI or Diagramming AI tools, Firefox displays a warning message stating, "This site is slowing down Firefox."
Observed Behavior:
Delayed response times or freezing when interacting with these tools.
High CPU usage (observed via Task Manager) when the tools are active.
Expected Behavior: Smooth operation without performance degradation, as seen in other browsers (e.g., Chrome or Edge).
CMS Sign-Out Failure
Issue: Unable to sign out of my Content Management System (CMS). The action either freezes or refreshes without logging me out.
Troubleshooting Attempted: Cleared cache/cookies, disabled extensions, tested in Safe Mode—issue persists.
ChatGPT Menu Error
Issue: Clicking the three-dots (⋮) menu in ChatGPT triggers an error instead of displaying options.
Error Context: Mentions "Flux AI," suggesting a possible conflict or integration failure.

Firefox told me to update Firefox. I had to get help from Apple support to do so. Now the new version takes forever to load anything. I can't read comments from other people on my Facebook posts. Amazon takes forever to show the products that I am looking for. I saved both versions of Firefox when I updated, so how do I find the previous version to use? It was much better on my computer.

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!
