Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Note that Firefox 93+ ,released last Tuesday, will warn you if you try to start Firefox from the mounted DMG file and will ask if you want to install Firefox.
