I-Firefox Community Forum

I received a msg from Mozilla that my Firefox was out of date and to download current version. I downloaded the current version but it does not update. I went to the menue and firefox help and it said automatic downloads disabled by system adminiestrator, I'm running linux mint. How do I get the download to update?

So yea I've noticed opened Youtube tabs will just randomly start the video playing while I'm in another tab, it's really annoying. I've tried disabling all extensions but it continues to happen. Anyone know whats going on, it's been happening for a really long time.

Using Windows 11 Firefox version 133.0.

I have a user at my job that installed the latest Firefox update (13324.11.21) through our MDM. After installing this update she cannot launch Firefox. When attempting to launch she receives a request for a username and password to install a Helper Tool. She is an admin on her machine and enters her credentials. The message closes and nothing happens. When attempting to launch again the same thing happens. This is not happening with our other 100 Macs who have the same Firefox version and others who have the same OS.

Is anyone able to tell me why this is happening or how to fix? Any assistance is very much appreciated.

The below troubleshooting steps have been done:

Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox

Updated the OS to 15.0.1

Disabled the Master Password on Firefox through a Mac Profile

Checked if there was a Firefox file under /Library/PrivlegedHelperTools

Granted Full Disk Access to Firefox under System Settings

This issue seems to be getting worse as time goes on. I have to go to another browser to use Cabella's, Nextdoor, and several others. sometimes I get bad request when using a link or in the case of Cabela's I can not navigate their site. Lately I have been getting a warning of dangerous site when I hit the link in an email for all the forums that I belong to.

I love Firefox's bookmark system, other wise I would just use another browser, but I'm hoping you can correct these issues for me.

Thanks, Jim Roney (long time user)

Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or ESR 115.13+), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features.

For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

If you have questions about the update or need help with the process, this is the place to ask! Whether you’re just starting or you’ve already updated and want to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you.

Win7x64p, FF 115.18.0esr (64-bit) When I power on my Dell E6440 from hibernate (& restart?), with or without some small portable apps running -Total Commander, notepad. I have to wait (sometimes 5 minutes or more) before I can use without significant lag. HDD LED full-on. If I start up FF while disk usage is very high, sometimes 1 core of CPU gets stuck at 100%. Sleep & wake resets this. Watching in Resource Monitor \Mozilla\xul.dll using high disk B/sec & HDD LED full on, when HDD LED returns normal xul.dll disk read activity drops to 0 or near.

Is a FF service/process reading its stored data?(via xul.dll) or something. Looking for any ideas to troubleshoot.

I'm not having any issues with FireFox running, just this process making PC unusable after wake-up. Thanks

Hello, A couple of months ago, I believe there was an update completed on Firefox and after that, I lost all of my bookmarks. I've since created a few, but the majority are gone. Is there any way to retrieve the bookmarks?

Thank you, Nicole Bechhold

Hi, I am in Australia and over recent months I have had trouble fully loading websites on FireFox. I have used FireFox on my laptop for many years but this issue has just emerged. I can open the same websites on Chrome and they open as fully functional ie, links are live, sign in options are available. Is there a reason why this is happening? The websites I tried to open on FireFox are important sites for me and I use them regularly. Is there something in settings that I need to change? I do not want to stop using FIreFox but I will have to change if I cannot access these websites. I have attached screen shots of one particular website on FireFox and Google Chrome. Kind regards Narelle
