I-Firefox Community Forum

I own a website that has chat rooms for each of my advisors. As of 2 days ago they are all having issues. I have them login with Firefox but now asking them to use Google Chrome...............low and behold it works

Whats the issue as i believe it started with the latest Firefox update

Thanks so much

Firefox 139.0.4. version is also not good! Uploading videos to Youtube does not work with it! It does not move from zero percent! As I wrote earlier, the problem started with version 138.0.4. and is still ongoing! Uploading videos works with other browsers! I am waiting for the problem to be solved! If I wrote my letter in the wrong place, please forward it to the authorities! At the moment I could write a letter here, I can't really find a topic where this would be discussed! My OS Win10 64 bit. Thank you!

My mail checker extension isn't working right in Firefox. Extension Link I was able to find an error using Developer Options but I don't know if the error is even related to the extension or if it is even useful. If anyone would help me, I would be very grateful.

After updating Firefox yesterday, when I use the search bar, switching between my custom search engines can only be done via clicking on a drop down menu at the left end of the search bar and selecting one with the mouse cursor. Previously, I could select my preferred search engine by using the up or down keys to cycle through them while typing a search, then hitting enter when the one I wanted was highlighted. Having to switch from keyboard to mousepad while typing a search is really annoying, I found the old way much more convenient. Is there a way to revert this, and put the search engines back at the bottom of the search suggestions, where I can access them with arrow keys?

Also, when I search now, the search stays in the search bar instead of changing to a URL, and I have to click a little internet globe icon at the right end of the bar for it to show the URL. This is also kind of annoying. Is there a way to turn this off, and just set it to show the URL every time?

Sir/ Madam,

I had not used the Firefox browser in a few days, so when I went back in today it asked me to update it. I did, and now every page I go to freezes and the browser locks up. Is there some way to get rid of this latest update? I have Windows 11.

When I download Firefox initially I am able to set the home page the way I want with the shortcuts I use. After a few weeks the shortcuts disappear and the only way to get them back is to delete Firefox and reinstall. I am also not able to save bookmarks anymore. This has the same resolution methods.

This has happened 3 times already.

Firefox stopped working on my computer. Every time I try to open it I get an error message that says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I tried to uninstall and reinstall with no success. Our IT dept tried as well and nothing we have tried has resolved the issue. Thank you for your help.

Ok so I usually choose these option to remember history and from time to time delete Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages.

Note: I have "Open previous window and tabs" ticked in general settings which also has a restore previous session option in the history menu. This brings back previous session with tabs etc as is when I close FF. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-51-cf2daf.png

I thought I could automate this on exit but don't think its working right. So I change the option to "use custom settings for history" and tick all three options:

Remember browsing and download history Remember search and form history Clear history when Firefox closes For "Clear history when Firefox closes" I ticked Browsing & download history and Temporary cached files and pages. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2025-06-28-08-45-43-b10213.png

The issue is the restore session option is missing and FF opens with all previous tabs gone. I am frankly not even sure what else is missing such as cookies, site data etc. Is this meant to work like so?

The setting works...in the way that if i quit Firefox, it'll not continue from the tabs and windows, but if i reboot my pc and open Firefox, I find myself the same place i stopped...even though i have that setting disabled. I found someone else with same issue on reddit and i did the same restarting the browser and refreshing and all....all to no effect.

Since the last update Firefox sends the processor load through the roof. Both on desktop and on Android. For the first time since like version 7 I'm a bit disappointed.

What's up with this?

Since the last Firefox update I cannot access sites such as Chaturbate or Myfreecams anymore with error message :

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at chaturbate.com."

There seems to be a DNS issue. I tried everything I found online such as desactivate DNS over HTTPS and others but I just cannot access these. Firefox works for "normal" sites and all other browsers (Edge, Oasis, Brave, etc) work fine now but I had to change the DNS after their last update (everyone created a problem from last week, so strange).

Another very strange thing is when I use a VPN, even with my country to access from, it is working !!!

What can be the issue and how to solve it ? Thanks
