Where is the Cogwheel on the Start page of Firefox? I want to close "Stories". My Start Page does not show it in the Top right of the page as indicated by a Help page. thanks.

I have been using ChatGPT for a few months with no problems on Firefox but today I am not able to enter any text in the text field where you communicate with Chat. However, I can turn on the microphone and then after speaking a command I can hit enter and it works. I can also switch to Chrome and it all works fine. I tried clearing my data and cash, rebooting computer but still isn't working. what's going on?

Windows Defender uninstalled the Firefox browser because of a Severe security threat. Is there a threat to installing and using the Firefox application on Windows 11?

Hello! Appreciate the help I could get. It is rather hard to type when the letters are disappearing as I type it out. I will provide screenshots of my issues and hopefully someone could help me out. I just downloaded the browser and have no idea how to fix the issues. The tabs are constantly flickering in different colors. The letter are disappearing or merging together or sometimes written in bold, crossed out, or underlined. It is making it rather hard to use the browser haha, but let me know what else I can provide to help out identify the issue. THANKS!

WHERE to key security code? What Page? Heading? NOTHING on any of those pages indicate "Key security code HERE." I GVE up! I have been round & round & canNOT get a response from the email that SHOULD give this information.

I need to call an executable script that I wrote when I click on a link to a file of a certain file type. I used to be able to browse to my script in order to set it as the desired application, but now I can't find any way to persuade Firefox to call my script when, for example, the linked-to file's name ends in '.dng'. Where is the list of such applications, and how do I add my script to it?

Choosing, "Sync now" as usual on both Android and iMac does nothing. in Firefox, putting the phone up to the bar code does nothing, except it now tells me I can't use my camera (my camera works).

I know every company feels the need to change settings for no reason, and make things confusing in each update, but this is extreme and has never been a problem before between these two devices.

I have no viruses as I regularly run scans.

Does anyone have updated directions on how to keep the same bookmarks, which is on the only Mozilla account I have, on these two devices?

Specs: Galaxy S8, Mac OS Monterey

100% of my bookmarks have disappeared. I tried backing up to older version a month ago and still no bookmarks were found. I had over 2000 bookmarks. any suggestions?? Marty

Is is possible to disable the Autorun feature for downloaded video files in Firefox? I tried the Settings, Privacy & Security, Autoplay changing the setting to Block Audio & Video, but after the file downloads it still runs automatically.

This file has 0 bytes and it had random letters/numbers dot HTM I "opened" the file in browser but it opened to a dead/unable to load page that was titled in the format of Computer Name>Downloads>NameOfFile or something like that.

I've ran anti virus/ malware bytes, windows defender but I don't feel safe.

What is this file and why did it download?

I'm on firefox 10 with Privacy Badger but not enabled.

Any help would be appreciated. I get paranoid of viruses/malware and what does this mean for tracking/did someone download files on my computer etc

Thank you

Hello, I have been aware of this issue for about a month now. I have, for example, added 3 sites to my "Block" list under "Manage Exceptions" in "Cookies and Site Data". They are not only repeatedly disappearing from the exceptions list without my input (which I suppose is the bigger issue), but even when they are present, the websites still end up storing cookies and site data for the session. These sites are Wikipedia, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.

In addition, I've also added a finance website to the "Allow" list, as the browser is set to delete cookies on quit. This website has also repeatedly disappeared from the exceptions list without my input.

My version of Firefox updates regularly via the Linux Update manager. I am also wondering if the "Forget about this site" option in the History menu generates this (at least to me) unexpected behaviour. I would expect that using the "Forget about this site" option would delete site data, cookies, and history, but not remove it from my Cookies exception list...
