I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

I'm migrating a bunch of PDFs from an old Windows 8.a computer to a new Windows 11. I located a matrix under settings that offers some choice as to how FF was to handle downloaded PDFs. There are three options: Save, Open, Ask. I want to save only (Opening slows down the migration process). I selected Save in the drop down menu, but FF continue to Open. Can't continue until I solve this problem.

I have a local HTML/Javascript document I use for compressing local image files. It relies on HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob() to achieve the compression in the usual way; a pertinent excerpt:

                   const output = document.getElementById("outputDiv");
                   const blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
                   const img = new Image();
                   img.src = blobURL;
                   // ...
                   img.onload = function () {
                       URL.revokeObjectURL(this.src);
                       const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
                       canvas.width = img.width;
                       canvas.height = img.height;
                       const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
                       ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
                       canvas.toBlob(
                           (blob) => {
                               const anchor = document.createElement("a");
                               anchor.download = getNewFileName(file.name); /* uses extension .webm for .webm, .jpg for everything else */
                               anchor.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
                               anchor.textContent = "DOWNLOAD";
                               output.append(anchor);
                           },
                           mime,  /* set earlier based on file extension: .webm -> "image/webm", everything else -> "image/jpeg"
                           quality / 100    /* (user-specified) */
                       );
                   };

Here's the quirky thing, though: when I'm compressing, say, a .jpeg file (or a .png), clicking on the download link opens a save-file dialog, but when using a .webm file, it opens the compressed image in a new tab! True, I can always then save the image from there (the resulting file is in Firefox's temp folder), but I don't understand the difference in behavior -- and indeed, in at least one other browser I tried (the latest Vivaldi) the download happens as expected regardless of input file type. In all cases the anchor hrefs look like, e.g., "blob:null/724ab85e-53ba-4890-9868-7f1ba27d4278".

Any idea why this is happening? I highly doubt it's the intended behavior.

Browser: Firefox 132.0.2 for Windows. Environment: Windows 10 Home 22H2 version 10.0.19045.

FF v132.0.2 (64-bit). We utilize Sharepoint/Microsoft 365, and since switching to Firefox, the zoom controls normally located in the lower righthand corner for Excel spreadsheets is just gone. This is with extensions disabled, even tried Private View. Chrome properly shows it.

Screenshots attached showing Firefox/Chrome. That basically eliminates our ability to use FireFox if that's the case since there's no other way to do it.

Hi everyone,

I recently updated my macOS to Ventura 13.6.9 along with updating to the newest Firefox Nightly; now whenever I try to launch Firefox, it just hangs and will never load the start page. If I give it about 5-10 minutes, it will eventually load the favorites bar, and then when I click into the address bar to type, it hangs again. If I give it another few minutes, I can type but hitting enter/return, nothing happens.

If I restart my MBP and hold shift to boot into safe mode, Firefox loads perfectly fine with no issues or hangs at all. I'm just not sure what is different that would be causing it to hang when booting into regular mode?

I saved the Apple crash report to see if that's any help for diagnosing the issue, here's a link to the .txt file - https://file.io/ZRVgd3A8jzoA

If there's anything else I can provide that would help, please let me know!

Thanks all!
