Ran into an interesting bug with Firefox since installing the macOS26 Dev beta. Whenever I use command space to bring up spotlight, Firefox become unresponsive, the beach ball will spin. It will only happen if Firefox is in focus when I use spotlight, and only if I am signed into Firefox sync.

I am not sure of a way to help replicate this issue as it seems to only happen when signed with Sync, but I would be happy to provide additional if I can.

GM,

An individual website keeps defaulting to, and loading in, the German (https://de.website name here) language version. This has never, ever occurred previously. I have had no success in resetting the website back to the setting(s) which would have it load the page(s) in English, NOT German.

Thanks.

Missing Bookmarks, Bookmark Toolbar and Customized Firefox Homepage

Apparently Firefox did an update (version 136.0.4) in the background while I was using Firefox on March 27. At some point I wanted to save a page to my bookmarks and realized all my bookmarks were missing. I had just used bookmarks earlier, so it had to have been an update. This happened to me before back in January 2025. I was without my bookmarks for several weeks when all of a sudden they showed up again.

I cannot use the instructions to go back to a previous profile, as the two options showing do not have my bookmarks, bookmark toolbar or customized Firefox homepage. I also cannot import my saved bookmarks to get them back. I get an error message when I attempt to do that option.

This is very frustrating, as I use my bookmarks, toolbar and customized homepage EVERY day. I have all my important links saved to bookmarks. Firefox developers need to find out why an update removes bookmarks, as this seems to be an ongoing issue with me. I've used Firefox for over 17+ years and never had bookmarks removed after an update before, so something in an update is causing this issue.

I have no idea at this point IF everything will return to normal in a few weeks like it did back in January. So right now I am without all my bookmarks. Please get this ongoing issue resolved, it's a royal pain. I need those bookmarks to maintain my daily routine for accessing financials, medical websites, etc.

Thanks for any help you can give me at this point. This is the second time it has happened.

I keep getting a small box that appears in the upper right corner of my yahoo email home screen that says it is from Firefox and asks if I want to upgrade to the latest version of firefox. If so click here and the upgrade will be installed and your open website connections will still be open once it has been accomplished.

I'm nervous about just believing anything that is presented or pitched to me on the internet.

Upon accessing the firefox website just now under upgrades it says that upgrades to firefox will be made automatically as appropriate, but if I want to manually install an upgrade there is a way to do it.

      • Is the small box offering to upgrade my firefox browser actually from firefox? Or some scammer?

I'm thinking that if upgrades are done automatically, why would I get this box asking me if I want to install the latest upgrade?

Read Aloud charged me $25.00 on 5/31/25, but I did Not subscribe to this feature. And when I open my Firefox browser to I see where I can add this feature, but have not as I do not need it.

I called the phone number listed on my American Express charge, but it states "this number is not in service." Also, I visited the website, and it looks like a phishing shell that first asks for my credit card number to 'look-up' the charge. No way!!

I'm disputing this charge with the AmEx, but you may want to be aware of this issue. My office does not allow us to use Firefox, and now I see why.

Before I uninstall Firefox, I'm removing all credit card history from the background.

I had to quit Firefox this morning because of a problem with my proxy and when it reopened it had updated to Firefox 139. In the process, I lost my entire browsing history and all open tabs from my previous session. Although in settings I have "Open previous windows and tabs" selected always, when Firefox restarted the browsing history was empty and "Restore previous session" was not an option under history, nor were "Recently closed tabs" or "Recently closed windows." I cannot locate any backup files in the Firefox library on my computer (MacBook Air running Ventura 13.7.5). I really need to be able to restore the previous session, please let me know if this is possible.
