During the last few weeks, an annoying problem has started up whenever I've had to download a file sent to me as an attachment in Outlook email. The original filename is changed by adding a prefix "UTF-8" to each name. This occurs over various different file formats, including Word documents, ExCel files and PDF files, although I haven't confirmed it for all file types as I mostly work with these three.

Can anyone explain this? More importantly, can anyone suggest a fix? If it continues, I will have to change browser...

I used sync to load bookmarks and passwords on my iPad from my Mac Firefox installation. I then turned off sync on both devices, but the iPad keeps notifying me that it has connected to sync. I logged into my Mozilla account on both the Mac and the iPad, went to connected services, and clicked sign out next to the device name. This just loops me back to an account signin page, and when I work my way back to connected services it still show the device as connected. Also, the connection is showing “Firefox 137, macOS 10.15” for a Mac Mini running Sequoia. There have been other problems with switching to Firefox on my iPhone and iPad, too, with bookmarks (destinations for bookmarks don’t match up, so they are hard to access), and with passwords (on an iPad running iPadOS 17, I needed to shut off use of Apple passwords and use Firefox saved passwords but could find no way to do it). I know that Apple has restricted Mozilla’s ability to program Firefox for iOS, but I’m wondering if it’s wise to offer a version so crippled—compared to versions for not only macOS, Linux, and (I assume)Windows—that many of Firefox’s good features are compromised.

I tried looking up a few things in the FAQ for (Firefox for IOS,)… updates… but unfortunately, it WILL NOT SHOW ME any of those articles (I think it showing that there are 4 articles there to read). But when I click them, nothing. Is it being blocked or how do I read them? I feel an idiot when I use ANY of my phones!

The below image is supposed to be a page to help me change my email for “Cash App”. It’s saying I can’t use my: “chambers67@myyahoo.com” email address.

Firefox uses Google to search & then it asks me, do you want to open this in Firefox… I have been using an Android & it comes up as 2 separate phones. (One for when I use Samsung Internet & one for when I’m using chrome/google..?????)

I don’t know what’s going on, but someone is either hacking my emails through Google or through my phone #. My Google maps doesn’t even go on the roads I walk or drive on. It shows be cutting across fields & driving over or through buildings. Not just when I’m in my car, but anywhere I go & with whomever.

So as of this week from out of the blue, like I'm watching something or reading and Firefox will download random files. I don't dare to click on them, what are they and can I make Firefox stop downloading these?

Hi, all!

I bought a second MacBook. I am clearly logged in to Firefox on both laptops and my iPhone. I can share tabs between all three. I can access history between all three. However, Bookmarks on MacBook #2 are not updating with what I add to MB #1 or my phone. MacBook #2 is my business laptop, and the more important of the two. When I first got it, Bookmarks synced, but somehow stopped.

AND! Mozilla's instructions to pair/sync are inaccurate. There is no "Sync and save data" to tap on in iOS, and no matter where I look in iOS Firefox Settings, I see no way to scan the QR code. None of the Help pages I've seen have different or better info.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. John

When scrolling on iOS, websites are jumping up and down whenever address bar appears. On some websites it isn’t a big issue (cnn.com), on some it is really annoying (Audi.pl). It makes it really hard to browse. See the video:
