Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

Hello. I am setting up a site on Linux server using Apache as reverse proxy , with ASP.NET as application server . since installing SSL , I had few mixed content blocking that i was managed to fix using CSP directive in Apache configuration file. site has no issue with all browser except Firefox. the only issue is that in admin section , to configure a option. system will load a js file that simply a dropdown with list of options to choose from . when using Firefox , it tries to redirect that page to login page . for test , i clicked on the link i located in Developer tools , which directed me to login page , entered my credentials, and scripts loads showing the drop down box and ok button. is been 3 weeks i been looking for every solution and i have done everything .. but nothing have worked. now I am resort to having to use other browsers if i need to use that functionality in admin page. In page header file name : login , location : http://MYDOMAIN.ca/login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FDiscountRulesCustomerRoles%2FConfigure%3FdiscountId%3D6%26_%3D1702682353293 , which are not correct . and browser such as Brave and Safari dose not show different path and file name and everything is correct. dose anyone know how to fix this .. ? i saw a solution mentioned as stated resting Firefox ,but can not find a way to reset , but i have reinstalled Firefox and constantly having this issue on this single section of the page .

Hello!

I've installed a couple of dark mode extensions since I can't use Dark Reader and NordPass at the same time due to a bug. I wanted to disable / uninstall them, but I can't find them anywhere when I go to about:addons and they're not showing up in the mini-menu on the toolbar.

Is there a way for me to still find them so that I can remove them?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

How to prevent Firfox from Logging Me Out Each Day?

Every day Firefox logs me out and I'm required to go thru the whole sign in process again. Have been using Firefox for many years and never had this issue until the past 3-4 months. In the past, each time I opened Firefox I was connected/signed in to my account and my commonly used websites recognized me. Recently has become a major hassle and strongly considering using another default browser that will not have these issues, but would prefer to continue with Firefox if it would consistently maintain my account staying sign in.

Dear FF/Mozella staff,

  I have been using FF for many years with Windows 10, every time I launch FF it starts up, brings me to my start screen of favorites, and then shows itself still downloading on the top taskbar pane, but everything is already loaded on screen. The cursor will then not change to the hand pointer to follow links on screen. the bookmarks open to blank or unresponsive pages. Closing and reopening FF gives the error message that processes are still running and do I want to open a new window with FF, but that is unresponsive as well. 

back to internet explorer, Thanks for that

Sunday, I reset my laptop back to factory settings. I reloaded Firefox and now cannot access the second level on Intuit's training website as it loads as a picture not a web site. I tried using MS Edge and also Chrome to see if the issue was with Firefox, but all have the same issue. I white-lighted all of the Intuit domains in pop-ups in case that was the issue, which it is not.

I'm using NORD VPN and ESET for viruses.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Firefox keeps freezing. I've checked Task Mgr, Event Viewer, Troubleshooting - and cannot find out why this is happening.

Restarted 3 times, but when I open outlook.com, the mail freezes. Open tabs keep freezing, so I'm unsure the culprit.

If I enter file:///d:/web/index.html in the search box then it returns the expected web page but if I edit it into a Firefox home page shortcut then I'm told a valid URL is required. A bit of research here makes me think I need to edit policies.json but I can't find that file in Windows 10, Firefox 139.0.1. I note that the posts giving the advice are six years old and Firefox has changed greatly since then. Please could someone tell me the current method to achieve what I want?
