firefox and MS bing have started frequently asking again and again if I want to make either one my default browser. Several time I chose firefox and yet I get asked within a week or so. Looks like microsoft is removing firefox from being my default browser and I get asked again! Also, this recent frequent back and forth is irritating.

Mozilla is the only search engine that recently has started to display pages and Ads in German. For years it was in English which is selected as the only preferred language in the settings, so its a very recent language phenomenon. What is wrong? It has started a couple months ago and I have been unable to get rid of this problem even by re-installing the browser.

I am unable to request support from Malwarebytes using Firefox in my Windows 10 computer, and so I have to switch to the Chrome browser instead. When I log into my Malwarebytes account and go to their web page at https://my.malwarebytes.com/overview and then click on "Contact Support", nothing happens. This problem does not happen in the Google Chrome browser. I tried clearing the cookies and cache, and that did not help. I have attached a screenshot of the Malwarebytes web page. What can I do to correct this problem? I will appreciate any response you can provide.

Recently (last two FF versions), when updating as a non-admin Mac OS 15 user, there has been an issue with the PrivilegedHelperTool - a tool that allows non-admin users to provide an admin password and update files in /Applications. The Helper Tool accepted the password but then closed. Starting Firefox will only bring the Helper Tool (admin login) back again, making it impossible to run Firefox under this user. The admin user was not affected. The solution was to reinstall Firefox. I had to remove my profile files in Library/Application Support and restart a few times until I could regain Firefox. I have seen issues with the Privileged Helper Tool with another app, sometimes even corrupting the update. I hope this helps other people to address this and that the issue is resolved in future versions.

I use a lot of containers (love this extension!) and have an improvement suggestion.

It would be helpful if the entire tab was colored, rather than just the little line at the top. I have a hard time seeing the line and distinguishing between similar colors.

For context, I have to log into multiple email and website accounts for work. The tab descriptions are often the same (for example, I'll have 3 or 4 google accounts open and they all say "Gmail" or "Admin console") so I have to click on each to find the right one since the colored line is hard for me to see.

1. My account says that my 2-step process is disabled. 2. But Gmail asks for it, but doesn't recognise the pin code number when I enter it. 3. Can someone tell me the way that I can find where my pin code is recorded. 4. So that once I've found that, I could try changing it so see if that would fix the problem.

Why am I always getting this error message: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.mozilla.org.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)                              I use an Android laptop with Windows 11

Hello,

I have tried several times to adjust settings to get audio. I have audio on my other laptop with Firefox but not this one. I was going to un and then reinstall but Mozilla suggested I try to refresh. It doesn't work. Very frustrating. I missed out on a meeting because of this.
