Recently clicked to update to the next version of Firefox. Then I get the message "Restart to Update Firefox." I restart Firefox but the message is still there when I click Help > About Firefox. It would appear that the update did not happen for some reason. Do I need to re-install Firefox to get around this problem?

I have two issues using Mozilla Firefox on both my Android phone and my PC. Running the browser on either device with or without extensions or any security like antivirus running gets the same results. The first issue is that blocking audio and video in site settings rarely works especially on news websites and always on msn.com the videos auto play every single time. This issue has been ongoing for a very long time and I have reported it repeatedly and looked at the Mozilla support pages never finding any results or mention for the problem. People like myself block auto play to help save data usage. The second isssue has to do with search settings and duckduckgo ai assitant. Everytime I close the browser, again on both Android and PC, the search settings reset so that duckduckgo ai assistant is active the next time I open the browser and all of the search settings under the settings button on a search page reset. The only way I could think of to prevent this from happening is to uncheck site settings in the list of options for deleting browser data amd deleteing browser data on quit. This has no effect at all. Firefox has become less and less functional over thw oast couple 9f years and it really feels like Mozilla has no longer any interest in the privacy of it's users or even running a browser who's features actually function. Most of these settings are hidden and they all falsely indicate that a users choice of settings are being respected. I trying to report these issues one last time but I really don't feel that any big company has any respect for their users any longer amd the experience is more than just frustrating it adds greatly to the impression of zero respect for a products users. A fix would do wonders to begin rebuilding the trust of users in pretty much every single product out there as none of them are interested in providing any real support any more. I used to train people to do tech support and these days it is simply non existent.

In my Win 10 PC, Firefox has been set to update automatically as it is recommended.

136.0.2 (64-bit) is the most recent one that updated automatically.

Now all my extensions have been wiped out, my workspace changed.

That is such a breach of integrity, and a lack of respect for the user, and his carefully set up work environment, when an Auto-Update just molests my work environment. And then I have to take out hours from my busy routines, to devote to restoring everything to how it was.

There is no rollback feature for Updates, esp when Updates do the havoc they do.

There is no proper Session Management, and a standard protocol for saving, aggregating sessions across different installs, rollbacks, etc, and having the most updated, and complete one, where the onus is on the user not losing data.

Now I have to go hunt around for the past profiles, and name the present one as old, and hope that Firefox functions with integrity, and completeness to restore my whole work environment from the last profile. I'll of course be losing whatever work I happened to do in the new profile now. One never knows how complete these profiles are to reconstruct things exactly the way they were.

Strange. I always believe that stability, and integrity, and a dedication towards that on behalf of the user would be the primary goal. Now it's all about chasing something else, some bells and whistles, and faster performances, and throwing stability, and data integrity under the bus.

I am constantly denied access to my online banking, my bank says, because I use Firefox, and that I wouldn't have this problem if I used Chrome - any possible truth to this? Any fix? thanks

I am looking for a solution that will allow links to open in the same tab rather than tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab. I am also having issue with sign ins opening a new blank tab and not having the ability to sign in at all. I've been using Firefox since I quit Netscape. And yes, I tried many epic fails that were disguised as solutions that don't work. I'm seriously about to give up on this browser if I can't get what I had after a SSD drive fail that forced me to reinstall from the ground up.

Howdy everyone! I have been using the Internet pretty much every day since I picked my first android up, from the very early days i had learnt that security is "essential" with your anti virus/bloatware/malware and whatever else you could probably think of is potentially harmful to your device! Anyway, what I'm saying is why don't we have anything on our modern day social apparatus similar to a firewall qt all please?! Why aren't we using them and why at least aren't our phones at least now coming new with some type of security app that can help teach us how to make our own firewall or security systems!??! 🤔

Dear Mozilla,

I am contacting you to request that you dereference any Mozilla Firefox search engine content that uses my first and last name respectively: Benjamin Karjavy. If this is not done as soon as possible, I will be obliged to assert my rights before the French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés).

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully

Dear all,

Greetings,

I have been using ⌥⌘\ (command + option + backslash) as an extension shortcut for 1 password (versions 6 and 7) for many years, but since I have updated the app to 1pass8; Firefox now does not allow the use of the backslash for the extension shortcut. When I attempt to change that shortcut, a small popup window says, “Choose a letter”.

I am still able to use the shortcut on another computer, but the app is a previous version: 1pass7. I spoke to 1pass tech department and they said its a Firefox limitation.

Is there any way I can get that extension to work for this app again?

Mac Ventura 1password 8 extension Firefox Version 136.0.4

Many thanks,

Pete

I'm using a few pages that need some time and a open connection to generate it's content (namely: A locally hosted AI). Accessing it from different desktop-systems works fine, but I noticed that Firefox Mobile (or Android) is terminating the connection as soon as my phone locks itself. Everything that the AI generates after is no longer displayed and I need to regenerate it. Is there a way/a setting to keep the connection open? So I can just set my phone to the side while the AI is generating?
