For a week or so now, spam pinned tabs keep appearing in my Firefox browser. They're always for coupon2deal.com. They appear already pinned, at random times while I'm browsing. Firefox is up to date, and I have Webroot antivirus running and have made it do a scan of my computer.

Every time I open Firefox, as well as my StartPage Home page, an additional "Thank You For Loving Firefox" tab opens, and it does so in preference to my home page. How do I remove this "bonus feature"? In addition, an additional "Firefox View" button appears to the left of my home page tab, which I would also prefer not to be obliged to remove each time. Can I also disable this feature? OS is Linux Mint, desktop computer, with 2 TB SSD, Quad core processor, 16 Gb RAM.

For some reason whenever I try and move a tab to a different location, the animation is quite chopping and the tab takes about half a second to move to where I've dragged my mouse. If i click on the tab and very slowly move it there's no lag at all.

Troubleshooting I've attempted: Updated Firefox Refreshed Updated my drivers Launched in troubleshoot mode Removed all add-ons Tried Beta, Nightly and Dev Edition Uninstalled firefox and removed all appdata Ran in compatibility mode and as admin Looked at task monitor (Firefox and Windows) Ran a malware and virus scan Factory reset my pc

This issue is only occurring on my desktop, and not my laptop. It seems like it may be a hardware issue as factory resetting my pc didn't fix it.

My specs are: Windows 10 Home 22H2 CPU: i7-7700 GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme 8gb Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4, 2133MHz Storage: Samsung 980 PRO M.2

After signing up for an account I am getting bombarded by emails from Mozilla. I follow the links for "unsubscribe" and "manage your communication preferences" within each email, as well as going through "Manage Account" from the Firefox browser. All paths lead to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/existing/ Which says: Something is amiss with our system, sorry! Please try again later. This has been the case now for over a week, so I assume it's not the system. I have tried multiple browsers, I always get the same message.

I can't open links that are in my emails. It tells me that the tab has crashed and it is ALL links. It also will not open 2 pages at the same time. Luckly I kept an old version to use this new upgrade is TERRIBLE.

In the pre-Webextension days, there was an add-on that allowed one-step install/run of downloaded executables. It worked like this: When the option was selected, the executable was downloaded into a temporary directory, execute it from there, and finally (optionally) delete it.

Now I only do it manually.

Ironically, MS Edge has this functionality built-in (see attachment).

Is there a way to achieve this on FF?

Just when exactly are you going to repair all the damage you did to my computer a few days ago -- years of valuable work, gone!

And who the hell gave you the right to get into my computer -- my personal property -- delete all that work and replace it with ads from people that want to sell me stuff?

That's what the "upgraded" Firefox did to my computer, just days ago, and I want it FIXED!

If there's going to be a class action lawsuit out of this I will join in a heartbeat!

Now I want ANSWERS from you!!!!!

Hi Guys, every time i open a white website like google or my schools website it turns light grey like the attached photo. I haven't tried anything as I dont know how to fix it. Thanks

I am getting a 404 error for a website I use daily. I think firefox may blocking it and I want it unblocked please. The name of the website is counciloftime.com

As mentioned Firefox, unlike Chrome, does not ask me where I want to download a file on my computer. I have it checked to "Always ask me where to download the file" and yet it still does not. Additionally when downloading PDFs it opens another tab as a preview for the document in question that I have just opened, but I do not want it to it is quite annoying. Thank you for your help.

hello when I open the browser for the first time (after closing and opening it too) full screen mode leaves some empty space on the left and top of the screen, but it happens only for first time you enter it, after reentering it the problem disappears for the session. It's not that big of a deal but still pretty annoying.

extensions: ublock and dark reader dual monitor 1080p and 1440x900

Some people say that changing the theme from default fixes it but it didn't work for me as well as disabling hardware acceleration

Firefox crashes after granting permission to use my webcamera. I performed a complete refresh of profile and without installing any extensions or setting up Mozilla Sync I tested using this page https://webcamtests.com/ and everything works as expected.

I think installed my list of extensions that I use and tested again, everything worked.

I then enabled Mozilla Sync and tested again, immediate crash right after granting permissions with a TCC policy violation according to the crashreport.

I then tested in safemode with all extensions disabled and it still crashes. So it works before enabling Mozilla Sync, but not afterwards, so something in my sync is causing this EVEN when in safemode.

I totally appreciate Firefox!

but the new "extension puzzle button" really isn´t implemented well, I can´t move any extension around, customize or remove anything, very infuriating!

I like to only have a set amount of extension shown in that menu, so I don´t have them cluttering up my toolbar.

The extension icons are also massive in the drop down menu, which I would appreciate if I were on a device with touch, which I am NOT... So I am simply asking for more customization, since this button is a deal breaker for me! I presume this is also the case for a lot of other users.

And please also let us remove this button if we don´t want it. Firefox users really like being able to customize their lovely browser :)

About three months ago, I changed the AO3 site skin to the Low Vision option, because I wanted to see if I could fix the then minor issue of not being able to see bold with my screen-reader, NVDA, when reading fics on the site. Some of the bold I knew to be there because I had personally put it in.

When I changed the skin, I was dismayed to find I could not only still not see bold, but I could no longer see italics with NVDA either. The AO3 sidebar menu was also tucked away behind a dropdown button, but I could open that up and get to the controls, so I didn't mind that so much. The formatting, however, posed a real problem, since italics are used for, among other things, emphasis, telepathic speech, and the speech of Pokémon in fanfics featuring humans who can understand Pokémon. So I definitely wanted this problem fixed.

I thought I could simply change the site skin back, but to my further dismay, switching back to the Default skin did not restore my former view of the site's pages. I began trying other things, seeking advice from other tech-savvy acquaintances after I'd exhausted all the possible fixes I could think of to no effect. Here is a list of everything I've already tried:

• As mentioned before, changing the site skin back with the buttons on the site
• Soft/Hard-Refreshing the page.
• Logging out of and back into my AO3 account to artificially end the session.
• Restarting the computer, and NVDA, by extension.
• Disabling each of the three extensions I have in Firefox, just in case one of them had caused the issue.
• Viewing the site while logged out to see if that made a difference.
• Cleared browser cache, and when that failed to help, also cleared specifically the AO3 cookies.
• Created a clean Firefox profile with no settings changed and no extensions added, pasted url of one of the pages I was using as a test into the address bar. Still no formatting visible.
• Viewed page in Incognito mode.
• Briefly thought I had a solution when I found the Page Styles submenu in the View menu, set the page to No Style. Got my old sidebar back, but not the formatting, and lost even that change after a refresh. Not ideal solution.
• Downloaded the portable version of Firefox, opened it and pasted in a url again. Still no formatting.
• Reluctantly, opened AO3 in Google Chrome. Could see all the formatting with NVDA when logged out, and when I logged in, could still see the formatting.

I also discovered Reader View while testing some of these things, and this allowed me to read the text of a fic or chapter with all its formatting, but that view doesn't include the Author's Notes, or the comments, and that sacrifices some of the nuance of those because I don't see the emphasis on any words/phrases without the formatting.

I have contacted the AO3 support team, but they are just as confused as I am and don't know what could have happened. They say they haven't changed anything on the site that they could pinpoint as causing this problem.

I have tried asking on the BlindTech email list I'm subscribed to, which is where I was given the link to Portable Firefox, but I have exhausted all their ideas as well, some of which were included in the above list.

Now I come to you. Please, if you can shed any light on what might have caused this problem, I would deeply, sincerely appreciate it.

In the last month Firefox using google search simply refuses to search, this is becoming annoying to the point where I will start using other browsers. Is there a fix for this?

Am using FF 109.01 (64) and the latest Windows 10 (64) ver. I uses their Virus program.

With my bank security settings I have check marked to not use 2FA Bank home page asks for a security code anyway.

This has happened to me months ago and all of a sudden everything was OK. ... and now it has happened again. When I use Edge, Bank home page does not ask for a security code. This is the way I would like FF to perform.

I have phoned the Bank IT Help desk and they are bafflled. They had me try a bunch of acrobats but nothing works.

Obviously there is something in FF to tweak. I am using

I have searched and searched on internet, but no solution. I have used FF since it was a baby, and I want to stick with it. Thanks

In About:Config there are several settings for "smoothScroll.msdPhysics", which is disabled by default. Can someone here explain for what situations this set of preferences is intended to be used? I've been unable to find only very sketchy documentation for it, and I have looked a lot.

1. Is its purpose only for touch screens, or does it also have benefits for normal desktops & laptops?

2. Does it function independently of whether or not smooth scrolling is enabled in About:Preferences?

3. There are three About:Config settings for msdPhysics springs (motionBeginSpringConstant, regularSpringConstant, and slowdownSpringConstant). What effects do each of these have as the mouse is moved or the mouse wheel is rolled or clicked? And how do their settings work (e.g. time?, lines?, pixels?)?
