Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

Why would you mess with something that didn't need to be fixed ? What are you, Jaguar? Remove it now, actually do something and fix it.

Audio settings on Duolingo don't work now with Firefox

In Duolingo you can turn on/off the sound settings which include 'motivational' noises when you answer correctly. I find them annoying so have them off. I've been using Duolingo and Firefox together for years, no problem, then a couple of months ago these sound settings became ineffective i.e. permanently on even if turned off in Duolingo. I thought the problem was a bug in Duolingo until I loaded it from Microsoft Edge and there was no problem. The settings turned on and off. I'd prefer to carry on as I was before and just use Firefox. How can I fix this?

Hi, have been a Firefox devotee for years. Currently have a problem accessing some sites including https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/login which I access via another email address. The problem is that when i click login nothing happens - there is no pop up or similar - the attached image results, suggesting a reCaptcha failure. But I don't see anything.

When using Chrome, I do not get the same challenge, so clearly to me, a setting in Firefox.

Appreciate any help on offer,

thanks

I had a problem with duplicated folders on Thunderbird. 'Dave' advised the solution, which related to "unsubscribing to certain files". I followed his advice and the problem was instantly resolved. I can find no other way of saying "Thank you" other than on this forum. So "Thank you, Dave".

Hello,

About a month or so ago, I noticed the New Tab "+" button was missing on the right hand side of the tabs bar. Also missing is the "arrow" for clicking tabs rightward (the left "arrow" for clicking tabs leftward is still present). After a Firefox update today, I had hoped it would come back but it is still missing. I opened "customize toolbars" and clicked "restore defaults" but the New Tab "+" button is not listed as an option! Is this yet another bug that Mozilla claims is a "feature" that no one asked for (like erroneously moving the tabs bar to the top)?

Thanks.

The setting "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" and middlemouse.openNewWindow in about:config will not fix this issue: when using middle mouse on the bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, it will automatically switch the foreground tab to the new opened bookmark which is not great. The combination of the previously 2 mentioned settings will allow hyperlinks and such to work fine, but not on bookmarks. this makes it tedious when I wanna just have something ready in the background.

Why are there two folders, "junk" and "spam"?

All your help verbiage seems to treat them as one, but the program doesn't We have emails cycle from spam to inbox to spam, and the only way to deal with them is to delete them The inbox decides they are spam (how?) and does it repeatedly regardless of the various attempts to move them back to the inbox. There are no "not spam" action commands. Please get rid of the spam folder (classify everything as junk) or give us some management tools to direct emails to their proper location.

I want to delete all my bookmarks at once -- I have nearly 1,500. I already asked this question and the response I got showed me how to do this by selecting each one at a time. I want to delete them all, AT ONCE!

Not selecting each one and holding down the CTRL key.

Btw, I already explained this ... so, is there a way. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and not keeping the former settings. But the stupid bookmarks keep coming back!

Dual folders in Thunderbird: such as "Sent & Sent Mail", "Drafts and Drafts", "Bin and Deleted", "All Mail and Important", but the final answer in the earlier thread just doesn't work for me. How can I delete these annoying duplicated folders? I am using Gmail, and also a provider-specific email (BT.Com) and duplicate folders appear there, too: "Sent" and "Sent", "Deleted Items" and "Deleted", and "Unwanted". How do just delete the unwanted folders? Thank you

Yet another sterling example of why change is usually bad. Why did Firefox, Google and other browsers (though don't know about Duck Duck Go) drop the 100 results per page option? I've always had that enabled and now that it was removed it makes searching extremely tedious and time wasting. Please offer a SIMPLE AND QUICK way to restore this option ASAP. Thank you.
