I had the 64 bit version of Firefox installed and configured. Then my company decided to use a package which requires an old 32 bit version be installed. I have no option but to use this package. Upgrading the package is way out of my control. After the 32bit install, now when a site is launched from an HTTP/HTTPS link, Firefox 32 bit is launched. When I go to Windows -> Default Programs, there is no option to select the 64bit version, it only list Firefox but it is the 32bit version. Being the 32bit version is very old, I don't want to use it for anything but the package my company requires. My guess is the last one in wins. Is there an easy/easier, i.e. not uninstall/reinstall as the 32bit install is very fragile and I cannot risk messing it up, to make Windows us the 64bit by default?

I have two email IDs -
@abc.com and @xyz.abc.com
I need Firefox to treat them as different login credentials. Right now, Firefox is looking at abc.com part of the email ID only and thus treating them both as same. So, every time I change password of one, it asks me to update the other email's saved password.
"Recents Bar" Blocks Drag & Drop of Bookmarks

I've searched quite a bit, and unsure what to call the bar that appears when clicking in the Address bar. It shows a list of recent URLs, but I can't find an actual name for it in settings either.
In any event, if you try to drag and drop a URL to the bookmarks toolbar, the "recents bar" drops down, and prevents it.
Pic 1 shows the bar in question, and while Pic 2 doesn't add much, it attempts to show the dragging of the URL, but the bookmarks toolbar is blocked.
1. Could someone tell me the name of that "dropdown recents" bar, and perhaps show me how to disable? (I just can't find it in settings so far.)
2. This bar should probably not drop down if you are dragging a URL to bookmarks. (?)
How to get Firefox to regognize a printer which is USB connected to a Win 10 laptop?

We have a HP Laserjet M1120 MFB printer which is USB connected to our new Lenovo Win 10 laptop. Firefox cannot find the printer. It searches printers in net and does not show the USB connected printer at all. We can print from e.g. Word, Excel, Ms Edge, PDF reader programs, but not from Firefox. The only suggestion from Firefox is printing to Onenote.

If any credit card transaction have been posted to my account, I export these records to my quicken file and update my credit card account. Today I requested my QFX records (Quicken format) from Capital One and received QBO (Quick Books) and CSV (Excel-Comma Separated) format records. Separate requests returned different record formats. I ran the same process on a Chrome browser and everything worked as it should (returned my dated QFX format records). I think that I updated to 69.0.1 version today and while not sure, I think it was before I attempted to export records process. I also exported records from Chase Bank (Credit cards records- QFX format) in the updated Firefox version. I have a work around in that I can run this process on Chrome but prefer and do all of my work on Firefox normally. Not a crisis or emergency but I thought I would make someone aware the problem existed. Capital One said no one else has reported the problem but if it is related to the 69.0.1 version that may simply be a timing issue.

Firefox proceeds to clean/delete the cache files at certain time intervals, the assigned size limit in the setting outlined below do not seem to affect this behavior. This forces me to reload some websites with allot of content to go through because the websites fails to read the cached content as I progress, as those cached files have been deleted by Firefox. I have not changed the tab during the cleaning or restarted the browser or anything else that might reasonably trigger such cleaning behavior. Firefox seems to do it based on a time interval.
I have altered these settings without any success:
browser.cache.disk.capacity
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled
Is there any way to control this behavior or will I have to keep reloading the websites?

I've read some old discussions on this topic, but none deal with my issue... Before I changed computers (windows 7 to now Windows 10), I was able to click one toolbar icon and my bookmarks would appear in a dropdown window...now I can't do that. Now I have to do multiple clicks to get to a similar window. I believe the old icon was the star with the tray under it, but when I click that now, I get a bookmark menu......HELP!!!!

I upgraded to Quantum 69.0 64 bit a day or two ago. Today I have discovered that when I go to print a web page from FF, it does not list my home network printer as a choice. I tested other apps, e.g. Chrome and MS Word and Adobe Rdr, they all still show my home network printer in their printer list, and I was able to print to it from Chrome. I have powercycled my printer, and rebooted my WIN7 PC, no help. My home network printer lists as Canon MF4270 Daves Office. My email is daveryan.cincinnati@gmail.com

I am only user of my lap top computer. I signed into my account and got and filled out all auth codes and set preferences. But when I finish my work at end of the day I always quit all apps and turn off my computer. So when I reopen the next day I have to sign in again to firefox which then generates another email saying "new sign in" and I have to start the whole process again. I have spent many hours reading all the documentation Firefox has provided but not solved problem. From all I've read once all auth is done it should be setup. At this time I can't put firefox on my mobile as I don't have any room left for new apps. I just want it on my laptop. I like the browser but to have to go thru all the sign ins each time is pushing me to use Safari. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I just signed up with my email address and noticed that my user name automatically became the local part of the mail address (localpart@domain). The user name cannot be changed.
That's a huge privacy issue because my account is forcibly named after my real name because of my email address. I do not want that to be public! I don't understand why this decision was made by Mozilla, when the first thing you see on firefox.com is the slogen: "And start getting the respect you deserve with our family of privacy-first products."
I know that I can change the display name, but you can still see my real name in the profile URL and on my profile page itself.

I've always love the fact that I could move all the tool bars and addy bar to the bottom of the window. First this it was a menu item, no it's broken. Then an addon, now it's broken. Then it was the .css file, now it's broken with 66. How do I go about moving everything back to the bottom of the window? Why can't Mozilla relize that a lot of their users love the customizing of where the tools and how the layout is done and stop breaking it??? Why can't we have the old drag and drop customizing back?
