Free youtube downloader wants my age from Firefox to download popular music videos. I am logged in to FireFox and Free YouTube downloader identifies FireFox as my default browser.

This is really an error for Free YouTube Downloader to correct, but many FireFox users must have solved this already. Any advice?

Thank you!

The recommended methods, changing to this in the registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Certificates] "ImportEnterpriseRoots"=dword:00000000

Reverts back to 00000001

Put this policies.json and did nothing: {

 "policies": {
   "Certificates": {
     "ImportEnterpriseRoots": false
   }
 }

} What am I missing or what's changed?

My specific need at the moment is to add another search engine option in about:preferences#search

Thanks.

When I want to access a site, I am told JavaScript needs to be enabled for access. In checking I am told JavaScript is already enabled. To check it, I should about:config in Firefox mobile and toggle JavaScript to true if it is shown as disabled. However, when I do that I am blocked for safety reasons. I want to know what's happening here with JavaScript and Firefox mobile.

For a few days a banner persists on the lower left of the message window. It obscures content. ""Upgrade to Thunderbird Release"" I have checked twice to make sure there is no update available. Why does this annoying message persist after I run the update. I have rebooted the application multiple times. I do not want to click "Learn more" on the annoying banner promoting "Get monthly updates. with new features and improvements in the new Thunderbird Release" Is it malware? If the application is up to date why are you forcing me to "Learn more"? This is not a good user experience. My MacBook Air is up to date. Thunderbird release 128.11.1esr

Transfer Thunderbird email and data to another computer. I have attempted to transfer my email data from / to Windows 10 computers. The instructions seem straightforward but so far I have not been able to bring up the "new" computer after copying / transferring the data. I have a Linux laptop I could transfer to, but the versions don't match and I'm not sure it would work anyway. Any help or direction to instructions (I thought I have looked everywhere) would be great. Thanks

I want to permanently remove Quora and Reddit from my search results, so I asked AI and on number 4. it says "Add Search Engine" but in my firefox settings their is no such setting. Any suggestions would be helpful. Here is the AI response:

To permanently remove Quora and Reddit from your Firefox search results, you can create a custom search engine that excludes these sites. This involves adding a new search engine with a modified search query that includes site exclusions, and then making it your default search engine. Here's how to do it:

 1.  Open Firefox settings: Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner and select "Settings".
 2.  Go to Search: In the left sidebar, click on "Search".
 3.  Find Search Shortcuts: Scroll down to the "Search Shortcuts" section.
 4.  Add a new search engine: Click the "Add Search Engine" button.
 5. Fill in the details:
       Name: Give it a name like "Google Clean" or similar.
       Keyword: Choose a keyword, for example, "gc".
       URL: This is the most important part. Use the following modified URL, replacing YOUR_SEARCH_QUERY with %s: 

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s -site:quora.com -site:reddit.com This tells Firefox to search Google, but exclude results from Quora and Reddit.

   Make it default: Click the three dots next to your newly created search engine and select "Make Default". 

Now, when you type a search query into the Firefox address bar, it will automatically exclude Quora and Reddit from the search results.

Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?
