Using Windows 11 and a recent version of Firefox, if I open a command prompt window and enter: C:\Users\Admin\Documents>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Esr\firefox.exe" --help

I get nothing.

But it works if I add "| more": C:\Users\Admin\Documents>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Esr\firefox.exe" --help | more Usage: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Esr\firefox.exe [ options ... ] [URL]

Can anyone explain why?

Is it possible to change Firefox so that it works without "| more"?

Note that the above was on my Windows 11 laptop, but I'm sending this from my Windows 7 desktop. None of the suggested topics were appropriate, so I selected the first one "Accessibility".

Hi Mozzies When I try to play news videos from my local radio station I get this error. The videos originate from our local TV channel which uses Brightcove hosting. Safari and Google Chrome can play the videos. If I go to the source on the TV channel, I can play the video. Hardware MacBook Pro OSX 10.14.6. FireFox version 115.30.0esr (64-bit)

Hello, I am still running an old WIn 7 media center because I have applications I need that are no longer supported elsewhere. Firefox ESR has been working just fine up until the most recent update - which repeatedly fails to install each time I start Firefox. Is there a location where this update resides? If so may I know this location and procedure to eliminate this errant update? Thanks!

Rebuilt my computer, restored Bookmarks from 'bookmarks-2025-08-30.html' but the original 'Other bookmarks' (just below 'Bookmarks toolbar') is now empty and has been moved to the bottom of all my other bookmarks in a new 'Other Bookmarks' folder. How do I get the contents back in the 'Other bookmarks' (just below 'Bookmarks toolbar'). P.S. I have a backed up 'bookmarks-2025-08-30.json' as well as a ' bookmarks-2025-08-30.html' available, if that would help. Regards and Best, NP_145

Hi

Up to a few days ago I was able to see "View all memories" from One Drive in Firefox. Not anymore.

I am subscribed to One Drive. Every few days I get an email from One Drive with the past memories from the day of the email. I will open the emails and click on "View all memories" then it would take me to the One Drive and I would be able to see those pictures individually. For a few days now I have not been able to do this on Firefox anymore. The website goes to gray like it is trying to download the pictures but it gets stuck there.

This is happening both on my desktop with Windows 7 and my laptop with Window 11. Everything works in the Microsoft Edge browser. I can see all the images individually from that day.

I have communicated this problem to Microsoft One Drive and it seems to be a browser problem. Is there any way that this problem can be solved in the Firefox browser?

I would appreciate your help, Amy

I just want to know WHERE the notifications land? I have a very old macbook pro (mid 2010) so I have a sneaking suspicion firefox is trying to tell me something about not being supported, yadayadayada, BUT where are the notifications? The OS am currently using is High Sierra 10.13.6 CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE? Sorry to be such a klutz but these banners appear every day and I can't seem to access whatever it is that firefox is trying to communicate. Thanks all!

Why has Video Download Helper v9 by Michel Guteriezze been replaced by Video Download Helper by vdh? The original versions were perfect. The VDH version 10 vdh is straight junk!

i just upgraded firefox for Mac OS to 115.23.0esr (64-bit) and now I cannot log in to my bank account from this desktop. Safari works on the iPhone but I NEED FIREFOX ON THE DESKTOP IMAC (Sierra 10.12.6) There seems to be NO INFORMATION ON YOUR "ASK A QUESTION" PAGE ABOUT THE UPDATE
