Went into Firefox and got the error message: Platform version 131.03 is not compatible with min version>=131.02 & max version>=131.02 So I'm thinking that the last update caused the error. I did a system restore to a week earlier, and after 5 hours, the computer rebooted to that date. Upon opening Firefox, I found the the notice that the next time Firefox opens, it will update. After closing, and reopening, Firefox updated and displayed the same error message. Nor quite sure what to do, I downloaded Firefox again, and was going to uninstall and reinstall. But as soon as the download finished, it loaded. So now I have the new Firefox without all of my saved bookmarks and passwords. I thought I'd read someplace that that wouldn't happen, and all of my password and bookmark history would transfer to the new Firefox. As if that wasn't enough to ruin my day, I found that the new Firefox isn't working in my wife's account on the same computer. She gets the same error message as I did before the new install. I know, my fault for not backing up the bookmark and password files, but what's my option now?

I am an avid or rabid Firefox user for more than 20 years. It was Firebird when I began using it. Now, sadly it is no longer my default browser. Recently, when I click an email link it opens a new Firefox web page instead of a tab in the always running Firefox web browser. This new page has different extension(s) behaviors and is unusable to me! Opera is now my default. I have tried "Refresh, Troubleshoot Mode and Uninstall/Reinstall. None of these worked. Any suggestions? Woody Ogden https://www.linkedin.com/in/woodyogden/ https://bvcomputerclub.org/officers2024.php

Phoenix Firefox was originally named Phoenix but the name was changed to avoid trademark conflicts with Phoenix Technologies. The initially-announced replacement, Firebird, provoked objections from the Firebird project community. The current name, Firefox, was chosen on February 9, 2004.

Firefox, free open-source Web browser created by the American software company Mozilla Corporation.

In 1998 the American Internet services company Netscape Communications Corp. decided to designate its Navigator browser as open-source for users, who began the development of Mozilla Firefox. The Mozilla team, led by the American developers Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross, sought to create a light fast-loading browser that would appeal to users in its efficiency. In 2002 they released their first browser, Phoenix, which soon included features such as bookmarking (for saving website addresses) and the ability to add extensions to modify or customize the browser.

Hello team, When using Firefox to access an application that calls for Java applets, I receive a message saying "frmserlet-3.jnlp. Application not found." (screenshot attached). This did not happen before October 2024.Please help me with a solution. Thank you!

Consistently we get a message box that says: "Oops something went wrong" with a red circle & x. Towbook states they can reproduce the error and we should just use Chrome or Edge. Is this something that could be fixed? We would prefer to stay on Firefox.

I am trying to let Google Translate use my microphone. I haven't gotten a pop-up asking for it to use my microphone, and I've looked in settings on the site permissions panel and it isn't coming up. I have other sites, even other sites from Google, allowed to use my microphone. How do I let Google Translate to use my microphone?

While my laptop was "aseep" something happened to your service. I was kicked off and told to resign in. I did not remember my password. I was cautioned that my data might be lost. What the hell happened?

Firefox functions like an app of Edge--how on earth can I have Firefox back as it was in my Win 7 machine (before being forced to Win 11 after a monster lightning strike)?

How to switch accounts (change user) do not want to use the email address to log in to Firefox but my screen name--when I click the Firefox Icon automatically logs with my email address and shows my first and last name. How to bypass the auto and have a manual login for user name and password. At 81, I may not have enough years or brain power left to master this not-intuitive Windows 11, which appears to me, to be a bastard mix of Smartphone and Desktop put out by a company that wants total control or at a minimum to grant as little control as possible to the user of the operating system--we will teach you how to think our way or get a pencil and piece of paper.

Ah, "The Golden Years" is a misnomer, the color was golden as is all polished brass, however the Golden color has tarnished.

I was very excited to see in the 131.0.3 release notes that it fixed a problem with bill pay. I've been unable to use bill pay at my small local bank since v131. My bank was unable to help me and I couldn't get bill pay to work with v131 even after opening everything up as much as I knew how (cookies, trackers, etc.).

Sadly, v 131.0.3 still has the same behavior of blocking bill pay with a very similar message to the BOA message posted earlier.

My local bank uses a site named: web13.secureinternetbanking.com and in the past, I also needed to exempt cookies from sites named: cwsb40.checkfreeweb.com and cw411.checkfreeweb.com. I've also added these sites to the exceptions list for enhanced tracking without effect.

I found a thread on Mozilla Connect from ipv6_fan that seemed to indicate a solution.

Based on that thread, I checked the following parameters:

The value of network.cookie.cookieBehavior.optInPartitioning is false.

The value of network.cookie.CHIPS.enabled is true.

When I set network.cookie.CHIPS.enabled to false, my billpay popped up as usual.

This seems to indicate (to a novice like me) that there are still issues in 131.0.3 with partitioned cookies.

To make this point, yesterday I spent probably an hour and a 1/2 trying to get to another bank account on Barclays working again because they just "upgraded their web experience". I think I was able to get all the new URLs identified for my exception list for cookies, but blocking cross tracking also creates havoc and I had to turn it off to get the bank site to work. I tried to add sites to the exception list for cross tracking, but firefox still showed it was blocking trackers even though I had added it to the exception list - so I gave up after all that time.

I appreciate the additional security being built into Firefox, but it seems to not play well with banks who seem to be on their own path for increasing security. These two paths don't seem to be converging.

I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful. Thanks for working on this.

I tried posting this before but didn't receive a response. How do stop: https://masbay.z10.web.core.windows.net/werrx01USAHTML/?bcda=1-808-232-xxxx# from popping up on screen? I've tried every program I could think of ... malwarebytes, antivirus programs, rootkit removal programs, quick scanners, etc. I uninstalled FireFox and reinstalled it. Every time I think it's resolved, it comes back. And I notice it's always popping up in FireFox. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave

I want to remove the "List all Tabs button" as it's pointless bloat. I am following the instructions on

https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1394194

Which says I should set browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false

I've just upgraded to version 131 and this fix it doesn't work.

New addons on Firefox become blank on restarting the browser.

They return when I manually disable and enable them once.

How to fix this? Doesn't happen to older addons.

Using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b9 (64-bit). Also verified same issue in regular FF. Tested in Chrome to be sure it's Firefox related. No issues in Chrome.

It's very random, but sometimes images will render with a slight green tint to them. When I save the image it doesn't have the tint but I've also included a screenshot to show how the render looks.

Things I've tried:

• Disabling hardware acceleration
• Changing every setting related to gfx.color in about.config and restarting browser (multiple times/tests)
• Using devtools to see if it's a server side issue with the particular website

At this point I'm moving on because I cannot find a fix so this was my last resort.
