When I want and try to print a document that I've accessed from a website with my Firefox browser, the print options in the box on the right side of my screen is grayed out for printing in color and I can only print in black & white. I have a Brother laser color printer. This is a relatively new problem. I don't know why the color print function is grayed out. I couldn't get a good answer from a Brother tech when I called them on this problem.

Since upgrading Firefox I am having problems with web sites i.e. banking where I have never had problems before, buttons no longer work or refuse to enable the following script, meaning I have to use Microsoft Edge to get anything done. I'm led to believe this problem is caused by Enhanced Tracking Protection, and having turned off Ad Blockers this would seem to be the case. Firefox advice is not to turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection and to visit a page to see those sites blocked, well I'm not doing that am I. I'd rather not switch to another browser as I've been using it since the early days of Mozilla but if this continues I may have to.

Hello,

I'm encountering a highly frustrating issue with Firefox. Even though the "Open previous windows and tabs" option is checked in my settings, it is completely ignored on startup. Firefox systematically opens to a blank tab or home page.

Here are the key details and what I've already checked:

• The Ctrl + Shift + T shortcut works perfectly: This proves Firefox is saving my session and history; it's only the automatic loading on startup that is being blocked.
• In about:config, the preference browser.startup.page is correctly set to 3.
• My privacy settings are standard: Firefox is set to "Remember history" and the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box is unchecked. I am not in permanent Private Browsing mode.
• The Windows shortcut I use to launch Firefox is clean (no forced URL at the end of the target path).
• I close Firefox cleanly via the menu, and I've verified that no ghost processes are stuck in the Task Manager after closing.

It makes no sense since the parameter is hardcoded but gets bypassed on launch. Is there a specific file (sessionstore or otherwise) that could be corrupted and blocking the automatic load without blocking the manual restore?

Thanks in advance for your help, I'm out of ideas!

Hopefully, this gets you a fast and highly technical answer. Hang in there!

Up until version 141, the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit Firefox installers wasn't noteworthy, though it has clearly been slowly increasing overtime. However, starting from version 141, the difference between them doubled from 5MB to 10MB, meaning a nearly 13.5% larger installer for the 64bit version than the 32bit one.

Why is that? What happened? Are there are feature differences that would warranty such a large gulf in their installer sizes? It's the AI isn't it? 32bit users were spared the bloat of the AI.

I also see that starting from 115.16 Firefox suggests users that aren't on Windows 7-8.1 or MacOS 10.12-10.14 should use other versions. Given both x86 and Windows' immense reputation surrounding backwards compatibility, is this really a concern? Is there REALLY something supported by Windows 7-8.1 that wouldn't function on 10?

I'm still using the old browser because the new browser, the one before that popped up today, doesn't work well on my old desktop computer. New one today requested to move passwords from cvs file and bookmarks from an html file. When I tried to search for these things my computer couldn't find them. But when I went back to the old browser, all bookmarks passwords are there.

Why is Firefox asking me to perform these functions anyway? There is no explanation as to what this is. Is programming at Mozilla really gone downhill so quickly that they forgot how to make their service user friendly?

I am use a Phomemo Thermal Label Printer for labels and packing slips. The print preview shows the whole page, but prints only a partial page and small print. Tried all setting but no difference.. See photos

Isn't there a toolbar for available the top of the Firefox window? I can't find how to set that up. How do I add the toolbar?

See pic.

Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.
