Hi, I would like to start firefox with a new session (one tab on my home page) I am using Firefox 74.0 on openSUSE Leap 42.3 - KDE Plasma 5.8.7. In the preferences I have "Restore previous session" unchecked. in about:config I have:
browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash false browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes 0
I don't have a user.js
I log out of KDE without closing firefox. At the next login all my tabs and windows are restored. I would like to start with a new session with the option of restoring the old session using the menu. I want to keep my history and the undo close tab/window functionality. Is there a way to do this ?

Trying to set up HTML5 peer-peer video conferencing. Its working on Chrome but not Firefox. I have looked at all the available solutions. I have reinstalled firefox; I have checked that media.windows.foundation is set to "true"; I have checked in "safe mode".
This challenge is an issue which occurs 90% of the time. I have yet to assess what conditions occur when html5 video is finally displayed. I can only say that display only occurrred once today and that was when I first inspected the site this morning.
This situation is occurring both in Firefox and the developer edition. Firefox is latest edition and there are no plugins
Any suggestions?

How do I make Firefox download my files to the correct location?
Thanks.

I'm fed up with the lack of support from Firefox. This issue has been going on for three weeks. The last Firefox update crashed TWICE! When I opened a Google/Firefox, An Update window popped up. Since I normally let them download or whatever they do, I wasn't concerned. Then it showed an "Error". I didn't see an "Error Code Number or Name" as it disappeared quickly. I tried to open Firefox/Google. To my surprise, all I got was a Blank Window. I tried clicking on the "Home Icon". Nothing changed. I tried my Bookmarks. No affect. I WAS Signed In. I tried finding the Fictional "Firefox Support". I got nowhere. I would've Googled the issue, but I couldn't even use that. Nothing Worked. I finely decided to download a NEW Firefox/Google. Once I did, it worked fine all day. The next day, I opened the newly Downloaded one. Again I was greeted by the Firefox "Update" It started, then showed an Error. Again, I tried to open Firefox/Google. I got the same blank page as before. I decided to Remove, ALL Firefox/Google. from my Computer. Then I download another New Firefox. I made ONE change. I stopped Firefox from Updating Automatically. Day three, I opened Firefox, I opened normally... Almost. Now I have the SAME Firefox Update waiting. If I let it Download, it may Crash again. I lost ALL of my Bookmarks too. I went to the Recommended Firefox Site to retrieve them... It was a LIE! Now I have the SAME Firefox Update waiting. I have NEVER missed an Update Let me guess what Firefox is going to say. That is IF they reply at all; No one else reported this issue. ( And I have Ocean front property in Arizona). Make sure your operating system is up to date. (I must be too stupid to keep my system up and maintain this Machine). I should upgrade to the (The Digital Pile of...... that goes by the name) Windows 10, and (The Garbage called) Google Chrome. (Why would I Downgrade to one System that didn't work when it was released, a Browser that was Garbage when it was offered the first time (In 2008), and they WON'T Fix? I'd be better off taking a hammer to my PC. and my own head).
Just a quick note. When I first signed up for Google (Prior to the 2008 Google Chrome fiasco.) my Gmail stopped working. I could receive Mail, but I couldn't Open, Read, Delete, or anything else. This lasted for Five Years. I tried getting Help. I never got a reply from anyone. Then it started working. No explanation from Google.
Don't bother telling me "Well... It is Free". It isn't.
Randomly can't create, move, or delete bookmarks on desktop without restarting FF

Randomly, though seemingly after closing too many tabs in a short amount of time (but I can't say with certainty that it's related, just that it seems to be the only connection I can see), I suddenly lose the ability to create, delete, or move bookmarks. I can edit pre-existing bookmarks at first, and I can make new bookmarks by pressing the "Bookmark this page" star, but cannot change where that bookmark is placed, and after doing that just once that I can no longer edit any bookmarks. Sync still works and bookmarks can be changed in Firefox mobile and synced with the bugged desktop session. "Verify integrity" shows no problems while this is active, and the browser console does not show any errors while trying to edit bookmarks. No other aspects of the browser seem to be affected. Restarting Firefox fixes the issue.
This has only been occurring over the last month and has never occurred that I can remember before this February. Deleting my profile, redoing my bookmarks, and even totally deleting all AppData Folders and my account and starting totally from scratch has not fixed the issue. There are no unusual characters in my user folder's name. Other people who have experienced this bug have had errors show up in verify integrity, so if anyone knows anything else that might cause this I'd appreciate the help.

I have never been able to get autoplay options to prevent blasting out audio when stumbling onto a malicious website like CNN. This is a major privacy problem as perhaps you don't want the world to know you are studying how to seek legal or medical help etc with audio blasting out at max level.
I don't know why this is so hard to manage since detecting loud audio isn't that difficult and it seems like browsers have all sort of hooks into media features of the operating systems they run on.
Can't firefox take samples of the audio (we don't need advanced signal processing here), determine that it is blasting out, and kill it?
In any case I have never been able to get any impact from autoplay settings other than to screw up my browsing experience so bad I have to reset to defauts to even manually play a video.
Addins like no script are so restrictive they render browsing impossible.

I am using Firefox to open and read local PDF files on mac os. My problem is that Firefox opens a new window for every PDF file I open but I would like them to be opened in a new tab instead. I have already tried the following settings in about:config
browser.link.open_newwindow 3 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external 3 browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction 0
but that does not solve the problem. Interestingly, when I use the terminal to open a PDF with Firefox it does open in a new tab instead of a new window. Anyone has an idea how to fix that?
Maximized window with title bar turned off blocks Windows task bar

My environment: Windows 10 64-bit, Firefox 74.0 64-bit, Windows task bar set to autohide.
With title bar turned off, my maximized Firefox window is "always on top", which blocks the autohide task bar.
F11 twice brings back the expected behavior (i.e., moving cursor to screen bottom activates the task bar), but switching to another program and back to Firefox triggers the same issue.
If the title bar is turned on, or the Firefox window is not maximized, the task bar will work properly.

I'm running Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu 74.0
For some reason it is running really, really slow. Loading a page like Youtube takes more than 10 seconds. At first I thought it was an internet problem, however speed tests shows 60-70Mbps download speed. I tried using Chrome and it is considerable faster tan Firefox. (For example, Chrome takes 2-3 seconds loading Youtube). I tried restarting Firefox, disabling all extensions, but it didn't help.
As last choice I decided to remove Firefox, then I deleted the /.Mozilla folder. I rebooted my pc and then installed a new fresh Firefox. It didn't help at all. I don't have any idea of why is this happening, I don't use any proxy or firewall and I'm not used to Chrome.
Thanks for your help in advice.

My server throws up subwindows with several fields, e.g., for proxy verification or login. Firefox positions the cursor in the first field OK. But if I click tab key at the end of entering characters in that field, the cursor does not go to the next field as I expect. It goes to the first tab in the Firefox top bar of open tabs. Another tab click takes me to next tab in Firefox. After all top bar tabs are entered in sequence, another tab click takes me back to the subwindow, and then I CAN tab through the fields within the subwindow in sequence. Is there a config setting to disable tab clicks from jumping to top bar tabs, and just take me through the fields in the subwindow?

Everytime I try to use the search function (Ctrl+F) my firefox hangs for like 15 seconds, and then says "not responding", after the 15 seconds I can continue using firefox and even the search function, but having to wait 15 seconds everytime really is a pain. I already tried disabling hardware accel. with no luck. I already tried disabling ALL my extensions and addons/plugins manually, but didn't work either, first tried disabling them 1 by 1, and then disabling all at once, none worked.
With safe mode the problem is gone, so that suggest that it is something I cannot change manually, or a plugin that I cannot disable manually.
Any suggestions? Thanks beforehand

1. Where is the top level "community forum"? I've spent 10 or 15 minutes wandering around a maze of Mozilla support pages without ever getting to a top level "now you can look at postings" page. So... I'm stuck posting to ask where I could've avoided posting.
2. And the actual question at last!! ;) One of my favorite websites for news, thehill.com, places annoying ads to partially obscure the text that you're trying to read. Sometimes (25%?) of the time when you click the "X" box, they then fire off a pop up. Now, this pop a) comes from an ad pretending to be a window and b) is a result of my mouse click. So the fact that I can find the setting menu and turn on the pop up blocker is not helpful, as discussed in the appropriate support page:
Is the pop-up shown after a mouse click or a key press?
Certain events, such as clicking or pressing a key, can spawn pop-ups regardless of if the pop-up blocker is on. This is intentional, so that Firefox doesn't block pop-ups that websites need to work.
Is it a true pop-up window?
Sometimes ads are designed to look like windows, but really aren't. Firefox's pop-up blocker can't stop these ads.
So what we have at last is a second-level question: now that we know the built-in pop up blocker is not the solution, is there one out there? A plug-in perhaps? Or perhaps soneone direct me to the forums and an appropriate discussion of (presumably NOT the popup blocker) the mechanism by which this is solved?
Thanks for any courteous replies in advance, Craig
PS: Amusing contradiction here... how am I going to find the answers... hmmm....
