I use the Firefox browser for MacOS and i use and XBOX series X controller. I connect via Mac Bluetooth and use my XBOX controller for many browser gaming platforms such as XBOX Cloud. The Firefox browser always has connection issues. The controller works perfectly with many other browsers such as Chrome, Edge, DuckDuckGo, Opera (all iterations). Firefox is the only browser were I've had connection issues.

Today Firefox started acting up on YouTube. I couldn't use pause or play buttons. I rebooted my computer (though Safari works fine), I force quit Firefox and restarted it. No dice. I finally removed it from my Macbook Pro and redownloaded it. But it obviously wasn't a fresh copy because it still had all my bookmarks and extensions included. It worked for a short while and then started acting up again. I don't have any new extensions so I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

Since it seems corrupt, I don't want another copy of what I already have on my current Firefox App. I want to start over to see if it works better.

I would like to know how to do that since deleting the app and redownloading didn't give me a fresh app without all my other stuff included.

Any help would be appreciated. I found a great video addressing this but it was for Windows so I couldn't apply the info to my Mac. I checked my history but couldn't find that video which may have helped someone with Windows. Grrrr!

I have found Manage Extensions to be useless. It should 1) show all extensions installed whether turned on or not, and 2) Include a toggle to pin/unpin the extension there, rather than users having to search for this. I don't know how to find installed extensions that are not turned on.

The Help says to use the Gear Icon next to the extension. I don't have a Gear icon. I have 3 dots and there is no way to pin/unpin or to change the order the pinned extension appears on the bar. I don't know how to change the order.

Nice-to-have: an option to put all extensions in one place, down the left side panel, rather than split between top and left panel.

By the way, I went to "Show details" below on this entry screen and the system threw out everything. I had to retype it all.

Since latest update when trying to view pages with artwork on them I get a message that the page is slowing down Firefox and asks me if I want to stop the page to speed up the browser. I do not want to stop the page so I click the X, but Firefox refuses to load the pages at all anyway! I can no longer view many sites due to this issue. Please get rid of this awful code! Thanks.

I have been on this OS for many months, uploading from the photos library to a website community I'm a long-standing member of, uploading was never a problem until a couple weeks ago. Now, when I go to upload, the link connects only to my "media library" and random photos - I can't select what I need. I had an online chat w/Apple support for the past hour. Tried other browsers (using Firefox) such as safari and brave. Same problem. I created a new user and used other browser. Problem still happened.

Is there a permission issue? Or, should I download the new Tahoe OS and see if that fixes the problem?

MacOS: If not already running, Firefox does not load requested URL on launch MacOS 26.5.2, Firefox 152.0.4

How to reproduce: 1) Set Firefox as the default browser 2) Completely quit Firefox 3) Open a URL (e.g. open Spotlight, type a query, select "Search the web", or any of the many other ways) 4) Observe Firefox opens but does not open a tab with the externally requested URL

This used to work fine. It still works on Windows. Reproduced on two different Macs. If Firefox is already running, it works as expected.

Youtube videos will open but the red line that dances across the top of the page stops at some point and the video will not open. This is happening to all videos, I am relying on Safari to conduct all my business. This annoying since I have never touched settings nor tweeked any buttons, this seems to be a choice of Firefox.

Hello, I have multiple devices using Firefox on the same network, and whenever using them at the same time, I get an additional Firefox icon in my doc which will open whatever tab is up on the other device. I was not signed in to any account on either device, yet it is still sharing tab data across devices.

I then created an account and signed in on one device and disabled every Sync option I could find, but still the sharing is enabled over local network. How do I disable this so there is no communication between the two devices?

Device 1 - MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6 Firefox Version 149.0.2

Device 2 - MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2023 macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Firefox Version 149.0.2 Local Network access disabled for Firefox in macOS settings

It doesn't seem like this should even be possible given that local network access is disabled for the one device, and neither device is logged into a mozilla account.

Can someone please help me disable this functionality?

Getting around 20ms for DNS lookups so thats not the issue. Why do I see Error Code: NS_ERROR_OFFLINE maybe once every several days when this Firefox has never been in offline mode and never will be? Env is MacOS 26.5.2 with current Firefox installed.

Perhaps I have missed a setting somewhere - while I like the concept of pinning tabs, I use the side bar to display my open tabs. If I choose to pin a tab, that tab is pinned to the top. Great. However, if I wish to pin 10 tabs, for example, they are all pinned in a single row. What I would like to be able to do is to stack them, maybe 3 per row, then have the 4th, 5th , and 6th form a second row. Is this possible?

i have some problems with HDR settings on my firefox for mac when i watch a youtube video in the middle of video it kinda decrease the brightness or apply a gray filter on screen or something like that

Since updating to the new Firefox 150.0 (aarch64) - two of our client's websites are having issues with too big/distorted logos (png files).

Sites are A-OK in Sarfari and Chrome.

solarisiaq.com

Remade the images and re-uploaded (thinking the files were corrupt). Did not fix the situation. Cleared every cache available (object, builder, browser, hosting).

Could there be an issues with the browser?

I can not sign into a banking site - last several months. It gives me this feed back : "Explanation The Application Gateway attempted to fetch the resource you requested from a junction Web server. However, the Application Gateway received an authentication challenge from the junction server while handling your request. There is currently no sign-on information configured for this junction server. Solutions Configure the junction with the appropriate sign-on information. Disable authentication at the junction Web server. " How do I do this? I try to keep FireFox up to date . On Mac Tahoe 26.3.1

MacOS, M2 2023, fully up to date firefox.

Sometimes I'm using firefox and it just stops loading pages, internet is fine. Other browsers work. I look at my activity monitor and nearly 100% of my 32GB of ram is being consumed by various firefox processes. A lot of those processes seem to be associated with youtube. This problem usually, but not always, is resolved by restarting firefox. But this shouldn't be happening. I have a lot of tabs open sometimes, but it's not that excessive. And most certainly not 32GB worth and preventing my computer from doing a google search.

If there's a debugging thing I can do to post system logs, let me know and I'll post them next time this happens. I'll be away from my computer until early July, so around that time.

I am finding more and more that i have to go to Chrome to fill out forms. When there are check boxes on a website like the League of Women Voters to renew membership i find i can not click the box when using firefox. has something changed across the web or is there a privacy setting i can disable temporarily or ... something else? i really try to avoid Chrome but it seems that is the one browser that works consistently. And now i try to click the box at the bottom of this page to get email answers and it doesn't work. wow.,

Hello

I have a 2021 IMAC desktop OS 13.7.8 In the last few days I have updated to Firefox 150.0 since then, my computer will not sleep if Firefox is open even if I select the Apple menu---sleep to manually make it sleep, it goes dark and comes back awake within 5-10 seconds. I CANNOT get it to sleep with Firefox open. If I close FIrefox, then I can get it to sleep. ANy windows that I keep open are windows I have had open for weeks and this did not affect the IMAC;s ability to sleep in the previous version of FIrefox. The only thing that has changed is FIrefox so I am telling you there is a problem...PLEASE fix it asap.

YES.....I have , as suggested in help sources.....done these..... 1)Settings > Privacy & Security > Autoplay and set it to "Block Audio and Video" 2)about:config in the address bar, search for media.video-wakelock, and set it to false
