Apparently there's a new PDF feature that shows up on the right in a sub-window whenever I try to view a PDF. "Now you can highlight your PDFs!" it screams. Unfortunately I can't use it nor can I get rid of all the "real estate" that it takes up. I'm using a fully-updated FF browser on an ASUS E410 with Win11 H23. I've tried every possible option to change the FF magnification or my screen size. NOTHING WORKS. Before this thing intruded my space for viewing PDFs or changing PDF forms, everything was fine. Now I am forced to find another solution See attached.

I use Firefox and now Google follows asking to Login with Google. Can I eliminate Google or better yet separate Google from Firefox like I had before after some update or corruption must have happened. Google is fine but I only want it when I ask not when Firefox wants? Any help is appreciated!

Whenever I try to sign into any Google site whether it is Gmail, Google, Youtube. or even signing into a site with a google account like Pinterest I get sent to the google help page taking about clearing cache & cookies. Even from there when i click sign in it just refreshes the page never actually taking me to the sign in page.

When visiting Springer's websites (and others), I cannot select any text using Firefox (but I can with Chrome). I cannot find the setting to modify to enable this ability (text selection).

I set: SmartBlock OFF (false) Proxy OFF

For example: https://actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/

can someone help me? Thank you in advance Maurizio

Whenever I go onto a Microsoft website, I have a terrible (consistently mildly inconvenient) time signing in. For whatever reason, it always tries to sign in with my school account instead of my personal account, and I have to manually change to the account I actually want to use. I don't know why it keeps defaulting like this but it's very annoying, what can I do about it?

i have an issue. firefox is "Always on Top" and I don't know where to go to toggle it off. i'm in firefox and i go to taskbar to change to my file explorer window and it will not show until i minimize firefox. it's very annoying and i want it where foxffox is normal. i even change to another program in my taskbar and it won't show as firefox remains on top,

I keep getting the Virginia Pilot news stories for another area of Virginia - I have unsubscribed and turned off pop-ups and I'm still getting it every time I open Firefox.

Fire Fox (Mozella) browser appears to be censuring content? In Fire Fox, when I read Fox Digital, I cannot see the comments any more when I’m signed in nor, signed in or not, the display boxes containing X posts and links. In the Federalist articles I can get the comments when I’m signed in, but the X content in them are not displayed. Comments in Yahoo are missing too. I tried changing Browser Privacy settings in Fire Fox, turning off my VPM, ad blockers, and tracker blockers but it does not correct the problem. All this content is available in Duck Duck Go and Edge browsers. Perhaps I have something I’m not aware of turned on but… Here’s two links to check out in Fire Fox then another browser.

For some reason fire fox will not download for me to install on my iMac. I have been trying multiple ways to get it to down load. It simply stops midstream and will not finish so that I can install on my iMac. IOS is Monteray.

Can several homepages, each one individually assigned to Mail, Finances, News, Video be saved and re-awoken upon startup as individual desktops or home pages ? I would like not to have to repopulate windows upon startup.

Why are you trying to 'Block' this Newsmax TV video? If this censorship nonsense continues, I WILL switch to a different browser! Prof. Timothy G. Wiedman, DBA Email hidden to protect privacy

so i found two websites on google search.

normally i went through https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/

but i accidently clicked the one with mozila.eu

so basically one with double L letter and one with single L letter.

may i ask if those are same website?

but when i visited the second link, it came up like this : https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/?utm_source=mozilla-eu&utm_medium=referral

its different with first one  : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

i probably need a detailed information whats the meaning of the end of the url of first site.

i have safe website/safe browsing on. but i still worried if something happens. checked through virustotal but no sign so far.

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

how to set up preferances so I dont have to enter my passwords evertime or 2 step verification. My settings are set to allow the sites to remember them, but Im always being asked to enter the information.

Dear Firefox,

I have just reinstalled my operating system after some issues. After reinstalling my browser, I logged into my browser after changing the password, but now no data is being synced. The open tabs, bookmarks and saved passwords were the most important, but none of that has synced back. After waiting for a little bit I decided to press the synchronize now button, but that also didn't do anything. Is there perhaps something wrong with the syncing right now? Or is there another way to get that data back? I didn't save it as I normally don't have to.

Thank you for your reply!

Kind regards, Lili
