I have imported my bookmarks from Firefox 56 and everything seemed fine until I noticed that there are some tags which aren't assigned to any bookmark. I tried to delete them manually but they don't respond to any manipulation. And there's a lot of them, gunking up the database.
I've heard that such tags are supposed to disappear on their own after I exit Firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. The problem persists in the Safe Mode too.

When I print a page in Firefox (66.0.3) and select Adobe PDF, the resulting pdf is not OCRed or tagged. I end up with pretty much an image-only PDF that is inaccessible to users of screen readers.
In Chrome, if I print the same page and select Save as PDF, the resulting document IS OCRed and tagged.
Firefox has been a browser of choice for NVDA screen reader users, but this issue causes some serious accessibility problems.
There should be an option to "Save as PDF" that OCRs and tags the document. Why would anyone want an untagged PDF? you might as well just use a jpg....

I'm trying to go on Medicare.gov and find a doctor for my Mother. I went to "Find a doctor". Typed in "General Practice". It searches in my zip code. Results start coming up and then it crashes. I'm using old Mac laptop. OS X v. 10.6.8. Using Firefox 48.0.2 I think the Mac is too old to upgrade to more recent software.
I'm not very digital. I'm 67.

I cannot use a private window simultaneously with a regular window. I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all profile data and user data, and rebooted before re-installing, but this does not help. As soon as the private window opens, the original window does not respond to any mouse or keyboard input. This is running on Windows 10. However, the problem only occurs on one of my three computers. On the other two computers, I can switch between the original and the private windows fine.

This dirty trick required to move a single bookmark folder from one Firefox profile to another stopped working for me for some reason. I tried different firefox versions, including the one from portableapps.com, I tried starting the second instance with -no-remote switch. Nothing worked. When I tried drag&drop between the instances there was the blue feedback dash indicating the place where the folder was going to be dropped in the target Library window. But nothing happened. I tried holding Ctrl as well, also using Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V key combinations.
Is this a known issue? Has a recent version of Firefox removed this ability?
How to configure Firefox so that it will load everything from cache after restart, in case I am offline?

I wish to configure my Firefox so that it will cache everything and keep this cache, so that when I restart Firefox and am offline, it loads everything from cache and displays fully loaded websites, even though I am offline.
Only when I try to access a not yet opened website or force reload of a website, it shall try to get things from the Internet and fail, since I am offline.
What settings are needed for this to work?
I usually start Firefox continuing my last session, so it feels like a huge waste to reload everything, mostly websites that do not change much anyway. It would be nice to have them display instantly, because everything is already on my local machine and on top be able to read all the websites I already loaded offline, since everything is cached.

Dear community,
I am trying to handle custom protocol with Firefox, but Firefox does behave as it should. I would like to open the protocol "foo" with a custom application.
- In "about:config", I have added the following key: network.protocol-handler.expose.foo
- I set its value to false.
- I made a link on a webpage pointing to 'foo:bar'.
- I clicked on the link.
- I chose my application, which just displays the argument list.
- The argument list is always empty (was expecting 'bar' or 'foo:bar' or something).
- Instead of my application, I tried to use the mail client (for debugging purpose, ultimately I want my application to be run).
- I clicked on the link.
- The mail client run, but I get an error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (MCMailErrorDomain error 1030.). No associated application could be found".
- I changed the link to 'mailto:bar'.
- I clicked on the link.
- The mail client open normally and create an email with 'bar' as recipient.
It seems Firefox is not handling custom protocol the same way it handles 'mailto'. What can I do to solve this issue?

An online magazine in the UK uses Pagesuite to print pages from it. This facility hasn't worked since the beginning of 2019. Any thoughts?

The PageSuite window comes up, tells me it is loading the selected page(s) and waits while I choose the Printer details. When I press OK that small window goes away and PrintSuite says 'Printing Finished'. Now that's what happened before the New Year, so everything appears to be fine.
It took me some time to figure out that I needed to see what was in the printer queue. That showed nothing.
I eventually thought to set up the printer queue window before I pressed OK. When I do that, the file is sent to the printer and it is immediately removed from the queue. The file name is in the list for a fraction of a second, no more. Just enough time for the file name to register on the screen. So that's the problem I have run into.
Now, details:
Operating system - Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Web browser - Firefox Quantum, v 66.0.3
Printer - Brother HL-1210W

I have read a lot and trying a lot for 2 days now (many hours) to disable auto mute. But nothing works at all.
What i want is to whitelist 8-10 websites for example youtube and twitch. I have put https://www.youtube.com http://www.youtube.com https://www.twitch.com http://www.twitch.com Added http (without the S) after a wihle if that was rthe issue but no also tried using * (wildcard) but get invalid hostname if i put * anywhere.
The auto mute is always on and require a mouse click or CTRL+M to play audio on all youtube/twitch pages even the homepage as in www.youtube.com is muted.
Since that did not work at all i started trying to disable auto mute completely but no luck there either. That works the same as if auto mute is on as in always auto mutes all tabs.
What have i tried?
1, The above tried whitelisting.
2, Tried changing Block websites from automatically playing sound (as in untick the option)
3, Tried changing browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon from true too false (yes restarted firefox and also tried computer restart).
1-3 did not work at all all tabs always auto mute.
4, Tried all possible combinations on the 9 preference in about:config when searching for autop. Did nothing about the auto mute always muting all tabs. BUT did change how auto play behaves and i have it like i want it no autoplay before i open the tab (media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed and media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground set to true)
5, Started firefox with addons disabled. 6, Deleted all history/coockies/and so on. 7, Tried a completely new FF profile using firefox.exe -P (naturally i thought about this after the history/cookie wipe :( ) 8, Tried FF on my htpc (that did not have FF installed before so first install on that OS) running win 8,1 (this is win10). 5-8 did not work at all.
The one thing left i could try (that i know of now) is try on a ubuntu WM that is on my unraid NAS but since i´m running a parity check (slow cpu that is 100% all the time from the parity check) on that right now that have days left too finish that WM takes 5-10min to just open FF that needs updating (both FF and ubuntu). So that would probably takle hours and delay the parity check some too so nothing i feel like doing now.
So how the **** do you ACTUALLY disable auto mute OR better ACTUALLY whitelist sites/domains???
And again auto PLAY works as i expect and want auto MUTE ALWAYS mute all tabs regardless if withelist is used or it is supposed to be turned off completely.
It is driving me insane to have too unmute every damn tab want unmuted on every damn Firefox startup and every damn tab i open that i want audio from.
Yes forgot that all tabs i have unmuted is muted again after a firefox restart.
Also the mute/unmute icon is pretty annoying on 7 of my tabs that i have pinned since it so easy to click the mute/unmute icon instead of switching to the tab :=(

Ctrl + Q is very close to Ctrl + W. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Can we have a prompt on Ctrl + Q? I know it might be difficult to have a customizable shortcut where I can simple move Ctrl + Q to some other key. But it shouldn't be difficult to add a prompt on Ctrl + Q? Especially when multiple tabs are open.
And yes, there's a feature to start from where you left, but in some webpages, you lose the context and that really bums me out (and maybe other people too).
If someone is willing to guide me, I can make a patch for this too. I don't know where to start.

This has happened across two of my computers. Over the past week, seemingly randomly about 5 times so far, Firefox will not restore the tabs from my previous session (neither will it have a clickable option to anywhere) when I close and reopen it. I've had to resort to bookmarking all my tabs before I close Firefox if I remember to just to be safe. I've tried clearing my history entirely and starting fresh, which seemed to fix it before but didn't this time, and I've double-ensured the option to restore the previous session is indeed checked.
Is there a reason this could be happening or a way to fix it? It seems as if the option to restore the previous session upon reopening is not reliably working as intended.

I'm using Jenkins on Firefox. The login/password is filled automatically when I login to Jenkins. That's great. But when I access a Jenkins job page that uses some plugins with password field, my password will be filled in there too. The password field here is supposed to set the password for that plugin, but not my password. Is there any way limit the Firefox to only fill password on the login page, but not on the job pages?
