Downloading MP3 files or Epub books using the Overdrive libraries' website API no longer works since the Firefox 115.120esr update.

For audiobooks, it appears to work normally at first, downloading an ODM file which can be opened to display a list of all the part files waiting to be downloaded. Taking the [Open] option within the Overdrive Media Console, the process fails, with this message: "A connection to the Internet could not be established. Please check your Internet connection; you must be connected to the Internet to proceed with this download."

For Epub books, it appears to work normally at first, downloading an acsm file, but then, when the open option on the file is selected the Adobe Digital Editions app, presents this message: "Connection Error Detected—Digital Editions could not connect to the fulfillment server. Please make sure you are connected to the internet."

So it seems that not too much was broken. Have I provided enough information for you to know what's broken & how to fix it?

Using Mac OS 10.13.6, Firefox recently updated to 115.0.3, and now the Overdrive app (from the public library) won't download audiobook files anymore. Have tried clearing cache, restarting, removing book files, restarting, and reloading the OD app, etc. The error message is that the app can't connect to the internet. My internet connection is fine - this is only happening with this app. It only started doing this when Firefox updated. I tried loading an earlier version of Firefox but it automatically went to this Beta update channel version. Can you help me go back to an earlier version of Firefox that won't automatically update? (I'm not able to upgrade this Mac, and this OS is the one that Overdrive works with. Firefox was the only browser that worked with Overdrive. Thanks - hope you can help!

Firefox is my preferred browser, and I have a very comprehensive list of bookmarks with folders and subfolders. Recently, whenever I add a bookmark through 'Manage Bookmarks' to access this list more easily than 'bookmark this page' > 'edit bookmark' & > 'Choose', it works the first time only; after that if I add another the second will not appear. If I close the 'manage bookmarks' window & reopen it & scroll to where I was before (a time consuming exercise), I can see that it did add the bookmark— for some reason it does not show when I do. This happens if the window is idle more than a few moments. Ideas how to fix?

When Firefox switched to esr version. Firefox got not work properly such as youtube and google. These websites says you doesn't have network but I already have. But this problem sometimes happen on Google website.

Every time I open Firefox, my open windows open, as they should, except the front tabs in as many as half of windows get stuck trying to open! The screen is blank, and you can see the spinning wheel in the tab window above the toolbar. Usually, if I click to stop it, then hit the refresh button, it will finally load the tab. Why can't they all just load, for while they don't, FF will still run up nearly all my RAM, maybe trying to load takes more juice. I don't know, but it's not supposed to be doing this. Opening tabs if a pretty fundamental function of any browser...

After yesterday's (12.19.2023) auto update of FF ESR 115.6.0 on both my mac os 10.13 desktop and laptop, sites no longer load. Reinstalling 115.5.0 is working for now. Is FF aware of any problems, and if so are there plans to correct?

Hello, I just recently restarted my computer. After I did, Firefox asked me to sign in again. I did, but now I'm on a new account without any of my other profiles. This happened once before and I was able to get my old account back, but I forgot how I was able to do that. How can I sign back into my old account?
