My server support has been unable to help - my IMAP set up is correct and I am receiving all my mail through my server - everything looks OK from the server's end - they have checked my AVG and that doesn't seem to be a problem. Appreciate any help you can give me.

Hello, since some time ago, whenever I click a pdf file, Firefox asks me to download it, instead of previewing it.
And there is neither file type PDF nor Portable Document Format but only Adobe Acrobat Document but there is no option for FF to preview pdfs

Firefox screenshot feature should allow users to block data upload

I have read description of Firefox screenshot feature and some discussions on the subject and don't see any reason for forced uploading data screenshot to the cloud. It is mentioned in the feature description at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots that there are two components involved in the process of creating and uploading the screenshot. It is done under header "Can I opt out of data collection?" and is formulated in extremely unclear way: "Definitely. Screenshots consists of a web-based component and a browser-based component. Firefox’s Options are undergoing a remodel, so disabling metrics works slightly differently depending on which version of Firefox you’re using." Thus while one can assume that it is possible to set up Firefox in such a way as to block sending screenshot data to the Mozilla server, there's no information how to do it. The similarly unclear formulation in another section of the above mentioned page describe data collected by Firefox. "What data does Firefox Screenshots collect? Firefox Screenshots collects event data in a manner consistent with the Firefox Browser Privacy Notice. We collect this data in order to learn how people use Screenshots so we can make it better for everyone. You can view all of the events we capture in this document." The link under last word of the above sentence leads to rather complicated and very technical description of data structures and message types used for collecting information about users activities, presumably selected with care, however completely unsuitable as explanation to the sentence linking to it. In the whole long description there is no information how to disable the screenshot data upload without disabling the whole feature. In addition the description is rather old: mentioned Firefox releases 55 and 56 are definitely not fresh for many months. To add a bit specific taste to the situation there was quite comprehensive discussion of the matter (https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/upload-of-screenshot-without-asking-for-permission-or-even-warning-me/16451) by Ashawi which ends with the note "Thanks for your suggestions. I’ve filed an issue at https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/issues/3499" by clouserw on Sep '17. The related thread on github is very short. Besides citation of essential part of Ashavi suggestions (to change wording in the description of the feature to clearly state how to make screenshot without uploading it to Mozilla servers) and a couple of technicalities, it contains an assignment to Release 57 made by johngruen on Oct 31, 2017, and then is closed on Mar 17 - also by johngruen!
Is it a technical problem or someone prefers the current situation?

I use Firefox Quantum Version 60.0.2 64 Bit on a Windows Server 2008 R2 complete patched with the Role Remoteserver.
If I use Firefox to open a website on the Internet or a website on the LAN, nothing happens. IE loads both pages on the same machine.
I can see with process monitor from sysinternals that the firefox.exe does not even try to generate traffic to the destination IP.
I have uninstalled the Firefox, deleted all related folders and registry entries. I cleaned about:support Firefox. I have disabled all security features on the machine like GPO, antivirus, firewall, proxy. Nothing happens! The firefox does not even try to open a website.
Is there a logfile somewhere? What can I do to make the firefox work?

I just normally opened firefox and found all cookies were gone. I can't afford this as this even happened once before. Firefox wasn't crashed or I didn't reset or restarted anything. I had "search keywords" stored in cookies on many sites and they all are gone now. Developers need to address this issue as this hasn't happened 1st time only.

After the latest Windows 10 update loaded on my laptop, I found that I couldn't access my Thunderbird email accounts. I think that the message was "Can't load XPCOM". An internet search suggested that I re-install Thunderbird, which I did, and it seemed to be OK. However, a couple of days after getting it all up and running again, when I looked at my incoming emails this morning, those that I previously read had all disappeared. The three new emails that I opened and read also disappeared after I'd read them. Please tell my how I can stop this happening in the future.

We have a small office network (7 users) using Thunderbird (IMAP) and Gmail. It has worked virtually trouble free for several years but suddenly several users are finding that sent emails never arrive. These emails do go into sent box and sometimes there is a :-
'Cannot connect to IMAP server' message
GMail Webmail appears to wok perfectly on these accounts (though it doesn't get a great deal of use so I can.t be sure it is 100%)
I have tried deleting user password and the re-entering when prompted and also deleting an account and re-installing it.

we forward quite a lot of emails downstream to reps. Emails have either remote content or plain text. All worked great until the morning of June 12 when "some" emails would not include any forwarded content other than the header table showing the original email sender etc.
We have toggled the inline versus attachment method with no positive result. We have checked the allow all remote content with no different results.
If we forward an email, enter our comments before sig panel, then drop down below the forwarded email header information, click options and select quote message, the content gets dropped in the forwarded email as it was prior to June 12.
We have two installations of Thunderbird 60.0b7 32 bit, a laptop (win 8.1) with the problem, and a desktop (win 7 pro) no problem whatsoever, both configured identical. Both installations have 4 email accounts installed in Thunderbird. This problem only occurs on the win 8.1 laptop and only with one of the four email accounts setup in the installation.

Some websites use small mp4 chunks for video previews. If autoplay is set to 'false', these previews don't work. I found one example here (a video hosting site): https://www.aparat.com/ Can this be considered a bug? Or is there a way to enable autoplay selectively on some websites?
Thanks.

I just installed mint 18.3 and I'm still pretty green. I know there's a solution but I can't understand it.
_______________________ Enable touchscreen gestures
Make sure dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled is either set to 1 (enabled) or 2 (default, auto-detect).
Add MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 DEFAULT=1 to /etc/security/pam_env.conf and then logout or reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
_______________________
I'd like to know what this means (sorry for being dum), otherwise I wouldn't mind waiting if there's plans to add scrolling in future updates.

This has been asked elsewhere on the Mozilla forum and no suitable solution was provided so I am going to ask again.
Firefox, despite 20+ attempts to set Preview as the default image viewer using (Get info -> Open with -> Preview -> Change all), resets itself as the default image viewer. Unlike with the other user, who reported it happening only when he/she dragged photos from Firefox to desktop, this happens ALL THE TIME, unpredictably for me. It is exceedingly annoying and I am thinking of getting rid of Firefox from my Mac entirely.
Any suggestions/fixes would be much appreciated.
Thanks, GES

if I try to check my inbox, sent mail, archives, etc. it spins for about 3-5 minutes before finally loading the most recent activity/messages.
