I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?

When I am on Facebook and I am viewing photos and I attempt to enlarge them for better viewing all i get is a black screen. I was not having this problem before. If I change browsers to Google Chrome or MSN I do not have this issue. I prefer to use Firefox as my default browser, I have not changed any settings that would affect this so I am not sure why this is happening only on Firefox!. Please assist. Thanks in advance.

I have two computers. Both sign into the same Firefox account. Both instances of Firefox are the same version (134.0.1 64-bit).

On my main computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the first image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-42-57.png)

On the other computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the second image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-43-57.png)

How to I get both instances of Firefox to do the same thing when creating a new tab, i.e. organize the recommendations like the second image?

My firefox automatically updated on January 14th. Since the update, it opens with the tool bar above/off the screen, the left side off the screen, and it doesn't allow me to scroll. If I go the the firefox icon at the bottom of the screen and click close window, I can sometimes get it to re-open normally and then leave it open for the balance of the day. I am running windows 11. My wife and I are have the same issue right after the update. Is there a fix on the way or a setting I can change to fix this.

Not as important but I want to get away from all things google. Right now my firefox is tied to a gmail account. To be void of google, do I need to completely take firefox off my computer and re-install with a new email account or can I transfer the account to a new email?

Appreciate your time Thanks so much for your help.

H!

For a long time now, at least a year, I cannot change the sort priority for search results on Amazon. Whenever I try to change to any other sort method other than Featured, the page just reloads and switches right back to Featured results. It happens on all my computers. I know this is a Firefox issue because this doesn't happen when I search Amazon with Chrome or on the Amazon app.

Anyone got an idea what's going on here?
