After the latest updates i can no longer save files directly to my harddrive (C:\ for example). I always have to choose a folder witihn it.
When i try to save directly to C:\ it says "Client doesn't have required rights." I checked with Chrome just to be safe and it saves files perfectly fine.

it works fine, but when I use this:

it falls back on another font. Why?

YES I WANT TO SCREAM. This seems like it is nothing more than an effort to sabotage it is so stupid on the part of this browser. I go to a site and click the link to comment. I had no problem getting to that point before, now i get a message that says "this page sin't re directing properly." WHY? I read that maybe i need to clear the cookies. GLAD TO. but I cannot find out where they are to clear them out. I look all around in security, i look all around in general. i am so sick of this happening. I have to go to my outbox to fetch the email. You KNOW THIS IS GETTING TIRESSOME this browser isn't working for me anymore. I don't find it helpful, i don't find it is protecting anything it is just a nuisance. SO I AM LOOKING FOR OTHER BROWSER. IF YOU USE CHROME YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE A PERSONAL TRACKER, I'M SURE EVERYONE HAS READ THE NYT ARTICLE.A SO I LOOKED INTO mozilla pale moon and then looked into reviews and came across this" Why You Shouldn’t Use Firefox Forks Like Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk.......... and it goes on and on about each. I didnd't read about all because I just want a fast, responsive browser that isn't going to make me crazy. it said good things about firefox quantum -- I DO NOT KNOW if that is what i have now, i don't think so, but I do not want any headaches, i never want to be blocked from a site over friggin' cookies nd not be able to quickly clear them out. and then it says this: "Even if you don’t completely trust some of Mozilla’s business decisions, your browser is just too important to be left to a small community of enthusiasts. We think it’s best to go with a big project with a large number of developers that receives a lot of attention to security. That’s why we recommend against using these smaller Firefox-based browsers, and why we also recommend against using alternative browsers based on Google Chrome. Here are our concerns with some of the more popular Firefox alternatives..." I haven't read on, but look, I if until i can find what i can live with, I would be grateful for some help in finding out HOW NOT TO MAKE THIS BROWSER HARASS THE HELL OUT OF ME BY BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING AN EMAIL, WHEN I BLOODY WELL KNOW CNN IS A FINE SITE, AND PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO HUNT ALL OVER HOW TO CLEAR COOKIES, WHERE ARE THEY? I HAVE ALLOWED ALL THESE SITES EVERYWHERE I CAN SEE TO IMPUT EVERY SITE SO THAT THE BROWSER KNOWS THAT IS IT OKAY.
I WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOOOO GRATEFUL JUST TO FIND A WELL SECURED BROWSER THAT ISN'T GOING TO MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM BECASUE i CAN'T GET TO A SITE I WELL KNOW IS FINE, AND NOT A BOUTIQUE BROWSER, BECAUSE I THINK I CAN WELL SEE WHERE "A SMALL GROUP OF ENTHUSIASTS" CAN BECOME DISRUPTIVE TO PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND AN EMAIL. DOES ANYONE AT ALL THINK YOU CAN PLEASE HAVE A SUGGESTION? EVEN IF IT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MOZILLA? or GOOGLE. THANKS AND I APPRECIATE IT IF YOU CAN GRASP HOW IRRITATING THIS IS AND JUST TRY TO HELP...... THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH!

Until the most recent update to firefox I used firefox to view 360 virtual tours offline on MAC and WINDOWS.
I updated firefox and now all I get is a black space where the 360 is supposed to be.
This is what the tour is supposed to look like: https://www.bigdutchmanusa.com/tours/broiler-breeder/
The attached is what comes up with the new version of firefox.
I have many clients who use these tours offline with firefox and I need to know how to fix this ASAP please.

With 68.0, I see that in order to manually sync, I now have to hit the three-bar menu button at upper right, THEN select my account, THEN do Sync Now. The second step used to not be required. Minor inconvenience. Why was this done?
Also, to what extent is sync automatic? How do I set it up to be automatic. If it is automatic, when exactly is it done? Is it done continuously, or just when I exit FF?

After a search on findagrave.com i have a list of names to look at, so i click on one and look at it and decide to go back to the list of names but I click the back arrow and no change until I click it again. So I notice when I right-click the back arrow it shows that two instances of the same page was loaded hence I must click twice on the back arrow to get back to the list page. WHY? this doesn't happen in edge or chrome.

website <https://www.gty.org/> I note that there is no green lock, but Firefox is preventing me from browsing a website i have used without any problems for 20 years or so. It does not give me an override option. While i appreciate your protection, surely there must be some argument for a user to note the danger, but continue to the website? I was connected for about 30 seconds before shutdown. I need info from the website.

After updating to v68, Firefox is stuck on a new tab and not doing anything. Its not possible to open any website. Its not possible to open a new tab (Have tried refresh,uninstall,etc). Upon investigating I found that we have a policy in Symantec Endpoint Protection that disables all exe downloads from all browsers. If I turn that policy off, Firefox works fine. But we can't do that for security reasons. So my question is what has changed in v68 (v67 works fine) that is trying to download an exe under the hood? We have no plugins, extensions, themes, addons installed whatsoever.
I put a streamable link to help identify the problem properly.

I have an application that processes files based on their extension and location. I set that application to look in my Downloads folder. I set Firefox to download to my downloads folder. However, after the 68.0 update Firefox is not placing Downloaded items into the Downloads folder. It is instead burying them under the logged on user's profile.

I got the impression that firefox was slower than chrome so i did a speed test.

I used the same speedtest server for both. This is consistently repeatable. What is the possible cause? Can I change some settings?

Hi, I'm at work and wanted to access a single bookmark folder from my home computer. I tried to login to my firefox account through a WEB PAGE - hoping I could access a list of bookmark like I used to do back when XMarks was a thing, I did NOT click on firefox synch ! However, firefox somehow decided that it meant I wanted to synch and started messing everything up. It added all my home bookmarks to my workplace computer, ruined the history (merge), extensions and so on. So I told it to disconnect sync and remove the sync data. Guess what ? It didn't just remove the data it just got from sync. It totally destroyed everything. Work bookmarks, gone. History, gone. Addons, all gone. It's nearly as if FF was a brand new installation. I'm panicking right now. Is there any way to go back ?

Norton security popped up with "widevinecdm.dll" as "safe." I asked no one or anything to install it. Thus, I investigated what it is and how w/o permission it was installed. It happened after a firefox update. I've read several Mozilla posts on this but none answer the fundamental question why Mozilla is using a google id'd product since by definition this does not protect privacy. In fact google's reason to be is to mine data. And I find no one explaining what deficits to functioning occur if this is uninstalled.
