Firing Firefox

boongsong — Sat, 26 Apr 2025 21:41:08 GMT

I am ready to uninstall Firefox and go back to Google.

Yesterday Firefox would have a 2nd page for Facebook always on my dekstop when I exit FB. I tried several things couldn't get it to stop. Sent 2 or 3 help requests to Support and no response. So, I decided to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

Now that I've reinstalled Firefox, things are all screwed-up. When I click on the Firefox icon on the Task Bar, it starts to open but a log-in page comes up. When I enter my ID/pw the next window is a Captcha page. I have to complete that to get to my FB.

It happens everytime I close/open my FB. Never did that before - all I had to do was click on the Firefox icon on the desktop and FB opened.

If I use Google, no problem.

So, unless there is someone at Mozilla that can give me an answer why this is happening, I "kiss Firefox and Mozilla good bye".

Thank you

I don't know what's happening, but Firefox 137 version is a buggy failed update with many problems. You could try the Refresh option, which usually fixes most issues. Or just wait for 138 as I'm doing...

Thanks for your response.

Tried everything, nothing worked. All I got was the download page.

I then uninstalled everything and used Bing to download. Now working good except I still have to log in and go through the Captcha b.s.

Guess I'll just wait for next "update". Sure wish there was a way to eliminate the log-in/Captcha b.s.
