I'm pretty handy with these computer-web thingies - was exctied to see the recent upgrade, but all of a sudden, all of my searches are being passed to Google - MASSIVE RED FLAG?!?!
I had all of my security dialled in very tight - removed Google, removed Twitter, removed Facebook, removed Amazon, set up containerized browsing to stop them all from talking to each other via ads, upgraded all security settings to give myself a nice, quiet interweb...
Is there any way updates can respect (at least) the selected search engine from before the update, so as not to expose my data to the cartel?
Many thanks - I'm a big advocate for Moz://a and all the amazing things you do <3

When I click a link in an email while Firefox is not currently running, Firefox is launched, which opens a window with a blank tab, then a second window opens with the contents of the linked page. I want the link to open in the already open window when Firefox launches, and into that homepage blank tab. I have tried various permutations of the about:config settings for browser.link but nothing seems to fix this problem. If Firefox is currently running, the link opens in a new tab, which is good. But if the current tab is empty, it should open in that tab, so I don't need to close the blank tab.

Hi,
When double clicking on an executable file in download library I am prompted to choose application to open it, whereas executable should only be executed, not opened with another application. After a search on the internet I found this https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1262025 but chosen solution did not helped (but I had no mimeTypes.rdf file, just handlers.json).
I would be glad if anybody knows how to fix it.
Thanks.

Youtube videos stuttering after updating to firefox 72

After updating to firefox 72 (maybe it was after 72.0.1 - I did not have time to check so fast) videos on youtube started stuttering. When I start video everything seems fine but after a while it starts microstuttering - image is twitching, movement of camera is not fluent.
It looks like it is related to all videos on youtube. I watch mostly 1080p 60fps and these most often cause this issue. Example video: https://youtu.be/1La4QzGeaaQ It is easy to observe it at 1:27 with camera movement and terrain being fluent or not. If I pause video and resume play after few minutes it seems fine for minute but then it starts being choppy again. It does not seem to be related to video quality. I had 0 dropped frames in yt stats. I found workaround - if I set media.wmf.vp9.enabled to false and restart browser with this setting set to false everything is fine. But when I set it to true (like it always was for me) problem starts to occur. However no matter what I set youtube still shows "codecs: vp09". I do not have this problem on microsoft edge. I never had this problem on firefox 71 and I did not add any new extensions since few weeks. It must be new firefox fault, not my hardware or configuration.

Installation successful opens every time as part of home page with "It seems that an issue caused all filters to be removed and we were unable to restore a backup. Therefore we had to reset your filters and Acceptable Ads settings. Please check your filter lists and Acceptable Ads settings in the Adblock Plus options." I check my settings but still not able to prevent the page popping up every time I open the browser.

I'm getting a PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR when trying to visit a site I've gone to scads of times and strongly believe to be valid today.
Is there any sort of workaround that would allow me to get to this site?
(And, BTW, why does Firefox absurdly tell me to inform the web site about this error when the error prevents me from getting to the web site?)

Firefox sync keeps deleting bookmarks so many times in past several months. Restored bookmarks from backup about 50 times in past several months. Getting so fed up with firefox sync, so disconnect all devices from firefox. So now just manually manage bookmarks and make manual backups. Also firefox sync does not allow bookmarks to be sorted. When you do sort the bookmarks, firefox sync will undo the sort. Firefox does not like it when you do a major reorganization. It always undo major changes. All you can do is add bookmarks. Also firefox does not like it when you rename bookmark folders.
After turning off firefox sync, there is more freedom to do whatever organization is necessary to bookmarks.
Firefox sync is total crap. Too many bugs. Can't tolerate it anymore after using it for several years.
Looking for another way to sync bookmarks. Maybe there is an extension that will work.
