After updating to 138.0.4 I no longer have "Recently Closed Tabs" after clearing History. Is there a way to fix this? Can I download a previous version? If so, how?

I was trying to look at an item on the Costco web page. As you can see from the image "Pop-up being blocked" the size selection is missing. I guessed and allowed pop-ups from Costco.com. As you can see from the image "Pop-up setting allow pop-up" the missing data is visible.

I thought Firefox would prompt if pop-ups were being blocked giving you the option to enable them. Am I wrong? How is a user supposed to know that there is missing data being blocked by Firefox?

This drives me absolutely crazy as I tried to narrow it down for days now. The Amazon Seller website makes me login daily, which is not a problem on Chrome. If I export the cookies from Chrome into Firefox it works, but also forgets it after about day. I can confirm:

- cookies are not the problem and don't expire, as they keep working in Chrome on the same machine and network and if I export them again from Chrome and import to Firefox even daily, it still works, so the cookies are fine - It's also not amazon's fault, let's say a stricter protection agains Firefox for example, for the same reason as above, they don't block the cookie - I turned off every protection, made sure cookies are persistent and I gave every exception to amazon's website but didn't help - it happens even if I don't close the browser, so it's not a problem with cookie deletion - I tried it in a completely clean new firefox profile, same problem

I'm losing my mind because of this..

a few months ago, i built a new computer and upgraded to windows 11. but i have been having a bug where after resuming use of a firefox window, i will at some point lose the ability to left clicks links or to type in any fields on the page. for my mouse, i can still properly left click web buttons, like the youtube players, and i can left click tabs to switch between them. right and middle click still work correctly as well. for the keyboard, i can use keybinds on my keyboard (ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab/ctrl-a) or hit space bar/page up/page down to navigate, but typing in fields just doesnt work. this bug happens after some random point of using the program, so it could happen after 10 seconds or 10 minutes.

the only way to fix it is to switch to a different program momentarily, whether that be alt tabbing to a non firefox window or clicking the desktop. ive just tried switching all my extensions and everything off with troubleshoot mode, but still experienced the bug. ive also tried different keyboards and mice in different ports and had the same issue persist, so i dont think its my peripheral software since i used generic keyboards too.

does anyone have any suggestions on what could be happening here and if anyone is experiencing the same issue? its very frustrating

My option to "Open a specific page or set of pages" has vanished!!!

Originally a page I play backgammon at wasn't displaying properly, my graphics drivers are up to date so I shut down the browser, when that didn't work I was going to uninstall but at the beginning of that process I was given the option to refresh so I chose that instead.

Unfortunately it took me a hot minute or two to realise my browser was no longer opening a specific page it always had done.

Where has that option gone?

Hello,

I have problem with some specific web pages like below that keeps loading and refreshing again and again until account gets lock.

login.microsoftonline.com

A few weeks ago, just after I tried to delete the cache and tracking cookies from Firefox (using AVG TuneUp, which seems to have taken more than I asked it to remove), my browser started refusing to load any new sites, or reload inactive tabs, once I had been using it for about five minutes after rebooting it. It also crashes completely when I try to download or upload anything after that point, which is irritating but does mean I have some crash reports to share (bp-5a7c5f6e-0d55-451a-8b2b-15b360250524 is the latest one). I've tried everything I can think of or find on the Internet - Troubleshoot mode, disabling and re-enabling hardware acceleration, refreshing the browser, uninstalling and re-installing it with and without restarting the computer in-between (which seemed to work for a while), culling tabs (although, if I'm reading the crash reports correctly, lack of memory isn't the issue after all; certainly, Chrome doesn't have the same problem even when using more memory than Firefox did), even running diagnostics on my computer's RAM and hard drive - but nothing's fixed it. What might be going on, and how can I solve this problem?

After a recent update, certain websites (like Youtube) leak script that remains even after the tab is closed, until Firefox is closed. When one of these websites is accessed for the first time, a second tab opens and quickly closes, as if a popup was blocked. One way I can observe this behaviour is that the NoScript extension will detect script for that website on ALL tabs, even blank ones, with the "(sidebar?)" annotation. With Youtube I managed to prevent this by disabling Service Workers in about:config, but for example with tenor.com the behaviour continues to occur even then.

Websites I observed this behaviour on so far: youtube.com (until Service Workers were disabled) tenor.com nami.news

Is this a bug? I have also observed the same behaviour on a different PC for Youtube until I disabled Service Workers on that installation. What should I do?

Hello Firefox devs,

First of all - great thank you for this alternative to the status quo.

So - this started some months ago and I thought Youtube implemented some sort of protection so the music sounds obviously different and worse than the original.

But now I played some MP3 files directly from the computer and then played them on VLC player.

Man, I hadn't listened music peacefully for months, because I usually listen my Youtube playlist and it sounds horrible.

Now on the VLC it sounded as it should be and it was a pleasure to listen to, while on Firefox it was s..t

Basically it skips beats, changes tempo, it's subtle but obvious and makes listening music a horrible experience.

The OS is Debian 12 - bookworm, the firefox was always the latest in all these last months, I let it update when it needs to.

It's in virtual machine, but so is VLC and there is more than enough CPU to play a song.

What could it be, is it just me who experiences this?

Thank you for your time.
