Desired behaviour Please add an option that would make Firefox update only when:

  • a) Firefox is completely closed — no open windows, no active profiles, no running `firefox.exe` processes of any kind.
  • b) A Windows reboot or shutdown has occurred.

Current problem Currently, Firefox sometimes initiates an update while a session is still open — for example, when opening a new profile or seemingly at random. This interrupts active work and forces the update at an inconvenient time, meaning all tabs and workflow are disrupted.

Suggested improvements

  • A good extra option could be modelled on Windows Update, which provides a series of delay settings.
  • The update should wait until all `firefox.exe` processes have ended (currently, opening a new profile can trigger an update even with another profile running).
  • A forced update that disrupts current work feels overly aggressive, especially when the update is not mission-critical. Even if it is critical, the timing should be a user choice.

Alternative approaches

  • A selection could be provided to wait until the user has naturally finished, with all instances closed by choice, or until the computer is restarted after a Windows boot.
  • A popup could appear with options to delay, or a notification saying "Update needed — please close browsers." There is no need to force this.

Workaround difficulty At present, the only way to achieve this is by writing a script. This overly aggressive update behavior could instead be controlled by a simple setting for advanced users. Being overly concerned about security to this level, should be a user choice not force. Turning it off and making it manual is still not as helpful as automation.

Great work, I just noticed this occurring several times in the few months mid session. All good wishes

Hello, I am facing a very strange and frustrating issue with my website https://biografieblick.de/, and it is only happening on the firefox browser other browsers like chrome, edge or safari are loading the site perfectly fine. The Issue is it occurs occasionally, Yeahh IDK why. When I try to visit my site, Firefox gets stuck on a screen that says "Checking if the site connection is secure" and it looks like an loop sometimes.

This looks exactly like a cloudflare turnstile loop but I am NOT using cloudflare. I have double checked my DNS records and explicitly confirmed this with my web hosting provider. This block only triggers when using firefox.

So I just switched OS on my desktop, and had to log into Firefox all over again for the first time in a bit, and it turns out that for some reason my saved passwords arent synchronising with my whats saved on my phone? In the past my experience have been that if I ask firefox to save my password on one device it remembers it on all my devices. Is this not the case? Is there something I need to do to manually synchronise?

macOS Tahoe; 26.4.1 Firefox 150.0.1

I keep most of my bookmarks under the "Bookmarks Toolbar"; I have quite a few of them.

I've always enjoyed the ease and utility of the "Add Folder..." menu item in "Manage Bookmarks", but now it fails on each and every attempt to add a new folder! For example, if I select a folder under "Bookmarks Toolbar", right click that folder, and select the "Add new folder..." item from the drop-down menu Firefox simply "freezes up" - becomes totally non-responsive (spinning beach ball!).

The only way I've been able to recover is using the macOS "Activity Monitor" to "Force Quit" Firefox! If I repeat the "Add Folder..." process described above - Firefox "freezes up" again. I've tried re-booting, and that doesn't cure the problem.

Without trying to confuse the primary issue, I have noticed other "bad behavior" from Firefox:

  1. 1. Firefox "disappears" from the menu bar regularly. I can get it back by moving to another desktop, and returning to the desktop with my Firefox windows. However, it will disappear again in short order.
  1. 2. Firefox is very slow loading some of the web pages I visit regularly.

When did this start? It started very recently. I have a new (about two weeks old) MacBook Pro. The "Add Bookmark.." issue began only today, but the other issues I mentioned have been around longer.

This is frustrating... I suspect this is caused by Apple's macOS software, but of course have no way to prove that! And in the "FWIW Column": my Chrome browser has basically the same function and interface for adding folders, and it still functions flawlessly.

I started using Firefox because I was having issues with cliches in my banking app with Google. And I don't like using google. My grand daughter recommend Firefox.

I have Windows 11 on my laptop and downloaded Firefox for Windows 11. Everything worked great for a while, then I started having the same cliches with Firefox that I was having with Google. The bank IT tech support advised me to clean my cache. So I did and everything was fine,,,,, for a few weeks and now it has done it again. This caused me to go back and clean my cache again, I did that, restarted my banking app and now it is working fine.

The most confusing part is. when it cliched this time. I went in to verify my Firefox version and my Windows version . The best I could tell, my windows is 11 but my Firefox in 10, so I don't know what I'm doing. Why would is show that when I downloaded the version 11?

Finally, am I going to have to clean my cache on a regular basis or is there some way I can have it cleaned automatically by my computer?

pretty

I am 70 years old and I have worked on my own computer since they first came out with home computers with dial up modems with out windows, We had to use DOS commands,.. So I use to know my way around computers pretty darn well.. Now technology is so advanced it is like Greek to me. I need some easy instructions and a K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly). So can and will someone talk plan English to me?

Thank you for any assistance you can give

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

I am okay with just being sent the download for win 10 or 11 because I'm not sure why its even giving me such a out dated version. (side note I do want to mention that it is amazing Firefox has the option and goal to let you install a different operating system instead of locking you out to just a Linux version and i do want to say i don't use Firefox as my main browser but a back up from now on because of the accessibility)
