Honestly, i keep trying to support FF but your releases are making me mad. first off my addons are missing after upgrade, they aren't in toolbar or bookmarkbar, they show enabled, but no control exists I use download all images for years, now there is no way to use it .. with the existing version. https://webextension.org/listing/save-images.html i've used this extension literally for years w/o incident.. damn.. this is majorly annoying and disturbs my workflow

why should i have to 'fix' something that was working prior to the upgrade. this is annoying even if some of the browser functionality is improved, your costing me unnecessary work

also why would you located the + new tab control to the left of the 'tabs', you never open a new tab there, always to the far right hand side, the user now has long mouse movements or short-cuts to open, its' broken theUX I've filed a bug on that one.

please you had to know this release had these side effect where are the release notes and the playbook for restoring this add-on functionality.

Mac OS Firefox auto update (and even manual update difficulties)

Hi all,

For the last week or two, (since version 1.30.x or so) my Mac running Sonoma (in aarch64) Firefox hasn't been able to update itself. Now I have no VPN causing woes (like Nord) I do however, use Adblocker Ultimate and Ghostery.

So I do the manual update, and find that the link doesn't "automatically start" the download. So I tell it to download manually with the big blue button... no dice.

So I copy the link location:

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&attribution_code=c291cmNlPShub3Qgc2V0KSZtZWRpdW09KGRpcmVjdCkmY2FtcGFpZ249KG5vdCBzZXQpJmNvbnRlbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJmV4cGVyaW1lbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJnZhcmlhdGlvbj0obm90IHNldCkmdWE9ZmlyZWZveCZjbGllbnRfaWRfZ2E0PShub3Qgc2V0KSZzZXNzaW9uX2lkPShub3Qgc2V0KSZkbHNvdXJjZT1tb3pvcmc.&attribution_sig=abdb7ecea583af9de12c794aa139112efc9c10dbce0cd8382f668154ec651a81

If I open that up in a new tab... it STILL doesn't work. But as soon as I remove the last section:

.&attribution_sig=abdb7ecea583af9de12c794aa139112efc9c10dbce0cd8382f668154ec651a81

It downloads fine.

Incidentally, it downloads fine in all the other browsers (Brave, Safari, etc). Also the entire Mozilla support site, if accessed using Firefox, looks as though no CSS is ever loaded. It's been like that for days. Everything else works fine. Just Mozilla sites.

Is anyone else having this problem? It was updating fine until recently.

Heads up for custom installs: running tbird and firefox on linux, I install both in my home directory for my own ease of updates and portability. I get releases from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/ in tarball formats which install in 30 seconds. I recently ran into a problem which I've not seen before. recent d/l of firefox-136.0.tar.xz for linux-x86_64. It crashed immediately with err 126. The ff.exe and ff.bin files were for ARM arch. This wasn't easy to locate and I think it was caught but anyone still headscratching may want to see if this is an issue - I had a good 136 on a laptop and overwrote bad install on desktop.

Requesting guidance on moving from Firefox Beta to the stable Release while preserving all data

Hello, I am currently using Firefox Beta and I would like to switch to the regular Firefox Release without losing any of my data (browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, add-ons, and settings). I would appreciate guidance on the safest recommended method. Specifically:

Is it safe to install the Release version over Firefox Beta, or could this cause data loss or profile conflicts?

What is the best way to create a full backup of my Firefox profile beforehand?

Should I expect any issues with add-ons after moving from Beta to Release?

Do you recommend enabling Firefox Sync as an additional safeguard, or is a profile backup enough?

In case something goes wrong, what are the recommended recovery steps?

My setup:

Operating System: [windows 10 ]


Thank you for your assistance.

During a startup update, Nightly crashes. But if I run an installer, it opens fine.

Hey there! System: Windows 10 x64, Firefox Nightly.

Problem: Out of the blue, when I start Firefox Nightly (I think 2-3 days ago), it just crashed with no extra info. I see the "window of the update process", it goes to the middle or to the end, immediately closes and doesn't bring up the Crash reporter. However! When I tried to run a Nightly Installer that I downloaded through Chrome, it quietly runs and then just opens up my browser no problem, profile and all. I checked and it seems to be the exact same .exe file (according to the Task Manager).

So in short: it breaks if I run it straight from my usual shortcut, or with .exe. But if I run the installer myself, the browser opens up fine.

However, the installer didn't bring any new updates that would fix the problem, I have this for 2-3 days now, I don't remember. I start working, I see I didn't fix it and run the installer again.

Any ideas on the fix? I would love to not lose my profile, settings and, if possible, tabs. I'll try disabling all the extensions after I post this, I don't think they contribute, though (seeing how the external Firefox Nightly Installer opens up my browser just fine).

Thanks in advance!

That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.
