When viewing UTF-8 encoded xml data in Firefox, if you right-click and select "Save Page As" and save the xml data to a file, Firefox converts the information from UTF-8 to windows-1252. Chrome/Edge don't have this problem. They can both save the data to a file with the UTF-8 encoding intact. This causes a problem when viewing IdP metadata and saving it from Firefox as the metadata gets changed during the file save process.

This morning I had trouble updating my Firefox after the new update. Went to our IT people, who uninstalled Firefox, and installed a new one. The new one updated fine. However, I had forgotten my password, and had to reset it when logging in into the newly installed Firefox. Now I am logged in, but cannot see any of my bookmarks, etc. Essentially Firefox is treating my account as a new one and does not remember any of my settings. Is there anything I can do to recover my settings and bookmarks?

Thanks, Yuri

I have ublock origin add-on installed and it is filtering certain posts requests on citi.com. (I also asked my question with ublock origin but thought I would see if there's a more general solution within Firefox itself) Anyway, these blocked post requests are constantly being retried, causing a barrage of error messages in the Console and Network developer tools. The error message in the console is "blocked by uBlock Origin" and the error messages in the Network are:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://contents1.00110.citi.com/api/v1/sendLogs?cid=cedric&cdsnum=X-sjnF-Y-Z-W-B-C&csid=D&ds=js&sdkVer=A. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

over and over again. Even without the devtools open, this activity is using 20% of my CPU.

Wondering how I can stop this constant retrying of post requests? Thanks
