I recently installed a new version of Firefox as advised on opening my browser. Since the new version was installed I am now missing very important passwords and all the bookmarks from my other bookmarks folder. I have tried going through the trouble shooting procedures but without success, I'm just being sent round in circles. I have been using Firefox for the past eleven years and have never experienced losing any passwords or bookmarks in the past.

Firefox windows desktop 130.0.1 (Windows 10 all up to date)

I moderate a listserv list and cannot login. I enter my credentials, do the not a robot thing, <rtn> and then it circles around and I'm at the login screen.

I use Edge and it works fine.

Ideas anyone?

This is not the first site I have had a login problem on.

Thanks.

I have been using FF for years and have been doing online banking. I cannot get into the bank's web site anymore. I can get in with Chrome but don't want to. Please help.

Good morning,

We are seeing that the key "DisableAppUpdate" being set to TRUE in about:policies. Not sure why this setting is being set. The result of the setting is "Updates disabled by your organization". So we cannot manually update firefox and are not sure why the setting is being set.

We used Procmon to capture logs:

Line 5169544: "2:29:45.2062951 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169546: "2:29:45.2063211 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169547: "2:29:45.2063338 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169548: "2:29:45.2063563 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1"

Is there anything in Firefox that can trigger the setting of this key?

the past 4 producers have told me they cant hear me on google meet when i'm on firefox. it worked fine forever, then no one could hear me and i reported it a bunch and it got fixed. now the issue is back again and its been like for probably 4 weeks now.

zero issues on google meet when i try it on google chrome. Zero issues with zoom. its only when I'm on firefox's google videochat that people cant hear my microphone. feels like a repeat issue of what happened months ago when the issue wasnt with me. it was firefox. I've written to google, I've written to firefox. They've had me try a bunch of stuff and nothing is working. Can anyone help me???? Issue persisted before I went to macOS sequoia 15.0 and still persists with latest os. Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit). I've bee trying to find a solution for this for weeks now:

-i've gone to "allow applications to access the microphone" that looks fine -i've done a new profile, didnt work -i've cleared the cache, didnt work -i've turned off ad blocker for that page, didnt work. -i disabled extensions on firefox, that didnt work.

please help!!!!!!!

I just started getting this error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.newsmax.com.

I cannot find how to make this stop. I will get emails from Newsmax about articles and if there is something I want to read I click on the link in the email. I never had a problem with Firefox not opening the link. This just started and I can not get the link to open. I have Newsmax set up as a home setting. However, after I got the Secure Connection Failed error, I could not open the Newsmax web page even if I typed in www.newsmax.com. I am about to uninstall Firefox and use another browser. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

Hello, last night I was browsing the web on Firefox and a thing popped up said allow or deny and I said something about connecting with other computers and stuff I really didn't know what it was so I pushed deny and now I cannot connect to anything like YouTube eBay or any of them that won't connect to nothing and I don't know how to go back and find that to allow it, if you can help I would appreciate it very much thanks

as the subject says, i cannot get firefox developer edition to prompt me for local network connections permissions on macos which means i cannot access any of my internal web applications. is there a way to force this? i had the permissions in there previously during the beta cycle and they appear to have gone away

I am going to switch OS soon, with open core patcher.. I alreasdy lost 2 years of bookmarks 5 months ago, I can't have it happen again.. What is the easiest way to save my book marks for new OS / COMP?

Since slipstreaming a current version each time appears to be a non starter I am trying to use the Stub installer that downloads (what I hope) is the newest version of Firefox each time its run in my Windows Sandbox no matter when I downloaded the stub installer file.

My real question is how do I get the silent install to work? Right now it always brings up the splash screen and a thermometer during the install. I would like to not see that each time I spin up a new Microsoft SandBox.

firefox installer.exe /? -h or -? shows me no parameters, and starts an install even If I say NO to allowing it to make changes to Windows. (which seems very odd) -Bill

Today I manually download and rename the firefox executable so a script that runs as a Sandbox is spun up is ready to go immediately. But that entails me manually downloading, then renaming the installer to a name that the script always knows. And often the setup file gets updated on the web and I am running the prior version, or older depending on when I went thru that manual process.

So I am back looking for a way to either find a way to download the newest installer each time or find a way to kick off the internal updater right after its currently scripted install completes. Either could work.

I hate having to use Edge as its the browser MS automatically installs when a sandbox is spun up.

Or are there other ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Bill

Using Firefox I cannot read my Messages on e-bay. I can only see the sender of the message and the first two or three words, but cannot open the message. However if I switch to a different browser I am able to read the complete, full message. Can you locate the problem for me?

I love Firefox, I use it on all my devices. And daily I access facebook.com on this browser, it's been working flawlessly - until yesterday. Yesterday, using Firefox (ver 130.0.1) on my Windows 10 PC, I tried accessing a FB page which I visit sometimes: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Rather than reaching that page, I got a white screen with this error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And since then, even visiting the Facebook home page (or any other FB page) has the same error message.

Today I tried the same thing on my Mac (OS 14.3), using Firefox and logging into facebook.com, which worked as usual. But when I went to https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator, I got the same error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And as happened on my PC, now on my Mac I can't access any FB page on Firefox.

And just to mention, I've rebooted both the PC and the Mac, yet this problem persists on both devices.

Trying this same exercise on Edge on my PC does not have this problem. Nor does it happen when doing this on Safari on my Mac.

So, this problem has only been happening on Firefox. I can no longer access facebook.com with Firefox. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this?

Helpful to know: Do you have the same outcome if you visit this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Thanks for your assistance! Steven

I am trying to help a colleague who is trying to use Microsoft Teams join links, but it only opens in the Firefox browser (default). Microsoft Teams support says to select the always allow box.

When I open a Teams link on Firefox, I see a pop up that asks "Always allow— she does not see it. Any idea what may be preventing this? I have "Block pop-up windows" checked on my browser settings, so that can't be the issue. Her browser is up to date. We both have Apple computers.

Appreciate your help with this mystery.

A problem began today and I can't figure out what the issue is. It is not a problem with my laptop, because I was in touch with Apple support. The problem is in Firefox, because I was able to attach files in Safari. I went to a website where I had to upload a file. The popup window had a button to click, Search for File (or something like that). When I clicked on it, my documents folder, the Macintosh HD folder, opened up but disappeared immediately. I saw it but it went away. I thought it was a problem with their website but when I tried to send the file to myself in gmail (using Firefox) so that I could upload the file from my phone, the same thing happened -- I couldn't attach anything to the email. The folder opened and then disappeared immediately. As I say, I called Apple, but when I tried the gmail attachment option in Safari, there was no problem. My Firefox says it's up to date. I closed Firefox and reopened it, but that didn't fix it. I also restarted my computer, but that didn't work either. If anyone has any insights, I'd appreciate it. I would hate to have to stop using Firefox and switch to Safari. Thanks.

Schwab login has a "remember this site" option but FF always "forgets". How to set FF to actually "remember" a particular website. For instance Schwab.

Searching help finds solution: click "shield" in address bar but that only brings up Pocket which I have no use for at all.

Thank you and many thanks to the good people at FF!
