Is this fixed?

Bug 1672326 Opened 2020-10-21 03:46 EDT Updated 2020-11-03 03:59 EST Edit question page is not functional except to edit the text

Dear Community,

I would like to download this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ I would like to know how it works. If I will install this extension my firefox will be check hashsum for the files of this extension automatically? Or maybe public key of the organization/company who created Adblock Plus extension? How it is work? Can you tell me? I hope that people from Mozilla now read this and can answer for my question. This is very important for me.

Next question is to Adblock Plus extension. I can read this information: "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing" so my question is why Mozilla don't recommended this extension? This extension now use 6,678,297 people so this is huge count. It is possible that this extension is not safe and these people now use malicious software? Why on dedicated website for this extension I can't see company name? Why this company is not verified by Mozilla? So my sugestion for people from Mozilla is to change this and check this extension or maybe add some information on website for this extension.

So I should install this extension? My friend use this on Google Chrome and he recommended me this software but I don't know if this is exatcly the same version. Maybe Chrome has verified Adblock Plus software and this is safe but Mozilla didn't verified this and this can be dangerous software because this can be not exactly the same version?

Next question is to adblocker. Why Mozilla can't make their own software to block all annoying ads and due to fight with malware? Example Opera browser have own buil-in adblocker. Why firefox can't do this? Maybe people from Mozilla should do this? This can be helpful because if this can be happen I will be not install any 3rd party software for firefox anymore and I will be safe. Maybe I can send somehow this suggestion to people from Firefox?

I hope that you can help me.

Yours faithfully, Peter

I am attempting to save this page: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27903157

With the Firefox 'save page' function, and every time I do it says the download failed. Can someone tell me what the heck is going on?

Hi. I'm experiencing issue when FF pops up new window (I need it this way), it pops up right behind taskbar, which I have on top of the screen (used to it since Amiga), so that I can't reach top of the popup to slide it or minimize etc. and have to stretch it a bit to get it bellow the taskbar. Annoying. I thought it is a Windows issue, but Chrome works well, no hiding popups, just alligning them bellow the taskbar. I don't wanna use Chrome, so please, let me know about workaround. Thanks. hippo

For some reason, every time I go to fill in my email address, only one option is shown via auto-fill. And it's not even the address that I use when signed in here! I can't find anyplace to add it, or another, to my auto-fill options, I don't even see the one address it keeps wanting me to use, anywhere. None of the help articles say how to do this either.

I want to use the Windows 10 multiple desktop feature so that I can have different applications running on each desktop. But when I have Firefox running on any desktop it always appears on all the others as well. If I have Edge running it will only appear on the desktop on which it is launched or subsequently psotioned.

How can I fix this for Firefox?

I'm using firefox 88.0.1, Windows 10. I also use "Adblock plus" and "YouTube enhancer". When I watch a YouTube video, it almost always forces the highest resolution. I don't mean "default", I mean "force". When I change the resolution to 480p (or anything else) it immediately reverts to the highest setting. Then it buffers (preloads) the video, using much more bandwidth than just the "per minute" toll for 1080p, because it is using bandwidth for the preloading as well. Is anyone else experiencing this (I think it started just this month, May 2021, or not long before that)?

I really hope there's a way to sort the tabs/windows listed in the Windows drop-down menu. It would be pretty cumbersome, time-wasting, and absurd that Firefox, in 2021, makes us look up & down for a certain tab, due to their being shown in completely random order. Is there a way to put them in either alphabetical or chronological order?

Firefox in windows will not let me login to my outlook account. Sight comes up, loads username and password but the login button is not active and does nothing. All products are up to date.

I have tried several solutions I found but nothing seems to apply to me.

On Google Maps when looking at my timeline for example, the screen displays the words "arrow_drop_down" instead of displaying an arrow, see image

I also get other strange displays instead of displaying other graphics , see image.

Does anyone know what settting could cause this crazy display (Linux Ubuntu 20)

Thanks in advance P.S. On the same computer I do not get the same scenario on Brave browser

A few weeks a ago the website Magic Spoiler worked fine now it tells me that

The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I have refreshed firefox and turned off tracking protection and allowed it in the cookies settings.

This is not a problem on chrome/edge.

I am using Firefox Nightly 91.0a1 (2021-06-05) (64-bit)

Thanks

My current Firefox currently looks like the attached. I'd like to change it so that line 2 (the one beginning 'Ask a Question') is below the current line 3. Is there any way of achieving this? I've tried Customize Toolbar, but that won't do it.

Thank you.

So, i often download a lot of things, All was fine for a few weeks of using firefox, But suddenly whenever i'm downloading files they get as slow as 500kb/s, When i minimize the browser for a while they go upwards of 10-15mb/s Why does this happen?

I have the same problem connection wise while watching youtube, It defaults to low res like 480p or lower when my network is fully capable of doing 4k60. i've tried clearing temp files, cache, history, etc but nothing seems to help. It does it when i have one or more tabs open so it isn't like i'm using 30+ tabs to hog my speed..

I hope this is fixable.. Thanks

I would like to ask, if it is somehow possible to customize the vertical location or position of command bars? My browser, version 89, feels like Title bar Menu bar Tab bar Navigation | URL | Search engine bar Bookmarks bar Web page content Status bar

How do I change the vertical order of this? Personally, I would like to have the tab bar below the bookmark bar

In the tabs Settings and Customize Firefox I did not see anything that seems to address this topic.

I started the PC today and saw a strange thing - the toolkit string was gone. And at first, the system offered to put some left topics. I started to tinker with the settings and did not see how to remove the "innovation". Separately, I found a stupid one who asked to do such a nasty thing. He obviously does not know how to use the F11 button. Conclusion - you need to migrate to a more adequate and traditional browser. But you also need to transfer everything you typed here.

Are there tools for a normal transfer, or do you need to manually edit everything?
