When the VPN is turned On it acts like a dead switch and locks All bookmark toolbar links as well as Search entries stays locked and will not activate? makes FIREFOX dead in the water. (using Brave Search engine) Any advice?

Bonjour, Avec le VPN je n'accède plus à ma banque en ôtant le VPN également (pas de souci avant) le message est:"verfying your browser before proceeding" voir la capture d'écran, Je n'y accède difficilement que lorsque je passe le VPN par la France. Pouvez-vous m'aider? Par avance merci. Valérie.

AGAIN, IT SEEMS I LOST MY PASSWORDS AND CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CALL THE COMPANIES TO VERIFY IT'S ME? EVERYTIME I TRY TO DO THIS NOW IT SAYS "DOESN'T RECOGNIZED EMAIL?

I wanted to reactivate the integrated vpn. The help side says to do it from the Customize Toolbar side. But there is no symbol of the integrated vpn in the list there. (integrated vpn is available here, I got it on my other computer).

How can I reactivate it otherwise?

Hi Everyone! I am having some trouble figuring out how to get rid of these "phantom" windows. They appear after I do a sign-in to my Google or Facebook account and it opens in a new window. The windows stay open in the background, or at least my Macbook shows them as windows as if they are still open. Whenever I click on them they just go to my most recently opened tab on Firefox and never actually allow me to click on them or see the tab. I've tried looking for them in the "open tabs" section on Firefox, and it doesn't show them there either. I added a photo to show that the "phantom" window is separate from my currently open browser on Firefox.

If anyone knows how to get rid of these, I would so appreciate your help! Thanks!!!

Bought a new Windows 11 computer. What sort of problems may I have transferring my data from Windows 7 Vista to windows 11. Any suggestions or instruction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help..

I have been very happy since installing Firefox as my search engine. Yahoo has hijacked this, and when searching my laptop, it does not seem to exist, but all the searches are headed with a yahoo tab. How do I resolve this problem? Regards Barry

when I try to sign in to face book I go through the sign in procedure and get stuck in a loop right back to the sign in page. I tried clearing my cash and cookies to no avail. Help!

I use the Add Image button to tick off things on a list (add image of a tick) - for my own personal use, not suitable for webviewing. Halfway through the task these Alt Text warnings just obliterate my view of the document; my attempts to not have to print it, or not have to use Adobe, are thwarted.

I'm looking at a page of grey blocks that contain a triangle which in turn contains an exclamation mark, and I can no longer see the actual document behind them.

Sorry if I've posted in the wrong place. I posted this under Thunderbird in error, whatever that is, and I reposted it under Firefox, but that;s gone. So if you find a duplicate question, I'm sorry.

Firefox Developer Edition 85.0b4, macOS 10.15

If I Google for a PDF and click a link, I get the Firefox download dialog. If I select "Open with Firefox [Developer Edition]", the following things happen:

   The PDF is downloaded to ~/Downloads
   The PDF is opened in a new tab, with that new tab's location bar holding a file:///... URL to the downloaded PDF 

What I would instead like to happen is:

   The PDF is downloaded to some temporary directory where I won't have to worry about deleting it manually
   In whatever tab the PDF is displayed in, the location bar contains the URL where the PDF was (temporarily!) downloaded from 

How can I achieve this?

Not having the URL where a PDF was opened from is very annoying when, for example, I open a bunch of PDF search results to read and review, and I later want to share links to some of those PDFs. Best I can do to find their URLs to give to others is then to try and remember which tab corresponds to which search result, or do mine the downloads tab.

Contrast this with Chrome: I click a Google result for a PDF and the PDF just opens in the current tab with the URL to the PDF in the location bar. No dialogs, no PDF files hanging around in my home directory, and I can just copy the URL to the PDF the same way I'd copy the URL to any web page.

Thank you!

Sigh. It appears the problem was one or both of the following preferences:

   pdfjs.enabledCache.state: false
   pdfjs.migrationVersion: 2 

I deleted both, and now clicking on a PDF just opens in the sane, normal way in Firefox that I desire.

Naturally I have no idea how those got set.

I wanted to use the Firefox browser VPN to check what the price of a certain Patreon subscription is in another country, but when the VPN is on, the website still correctly identifies my current location and shows me the price in my current country's currency. Is this a limitation of the VPN, or did I not set it up correctly?

I recently switched to Mozilla Firefox and noticed that one of my business websites won't open in the browser. I'm not sure whether the issue is with my website or Firefox itself. Has anyone experienced something similar?

ive been testing out the VPN to see what all it can do but the data never seems to go down, which....im not complaining about xD but i also dont wanna get stuck with a big bill. has anyone else experienced this?

I tend to have a lot of tabs open at a time and even with the Customize Sidebar > Hide tabs and sidebar checkbox ticked, it is still distracting at times. Could you please help me find a setting/way so that I can hide it and make it re-appear when I hover on it only. Kinda like how we have on windows taskbar? Much appreciated.
