I see the below in history when trying to view all history:

<key id="key_find" key="&findCmd.key;" modifiers="accel" command="cmd_find"/>

I am unable to clear history. when I try, the screen turns gray and nothing pops up or opens. Also, now I am getting a cookie message for gmail and can't sign in. It directs me to sign into Chrome and allow cookies.

I will start by saying that I have not opened my laptop since March of 2022. It is now November. I go to my Firefox browser like I always have in the past. It opens and does an update. It comes back and I notice that my bookmarks bar is gone. I go to the bookmarks tab and all of my bookmarks are gone. I have never had a "Firefox Profile" before until now. I had to create one to try to get help. How can I get those bookmarks back? I tried to use the troubleshooting option that is listed and it did not work for me. I have a very important account that was in my bookmarks that I need access to. Someone HELP?!

I have performed many searchers on the Internet and on this website to locate where the message filters are kept on FF v.98. If I go under the hamburger menu there is no "Tools" entry only "more Tools." If I access Tools on the MenuBar there is no Message Filter entry.

It used to be quite simplye Mozilla needs to follow the lead of smartphones who have the exact same problem with users attempting to find the controls whose locations change in every update. Their solution is a built-in search lookup app. Instead of making users "go hunt" the smartphone app allows the user to ask the app to find what they are looking for. That's why they are called "smartphones."

As for now, I need to know if my version of FF has bugs or if not how to I modify my message filters?

Thanks

For over a decade I've used FF, and when I download things (99% of the time from Yahoo) I set FF to "always ask" what to do with downloads. Suddenly that changed and it started downloading everything automatically to the Download Folder.

I went to options and changed everything back to "always ask."

FF does always ask... but... it ALSO still auto downloads to the Downloads Folder now.

And I can't figure out how to stop that.

Any help is appreciated.

I have some local services under a local domain name: example.lena

Every time I try to access any of those services that are not in my history, Firefox chooses to search google instead of load up the url, with an option appearing under the toolbar saying: "Did you mean to go to http://example.lena/?

How can I force Firefox to first try the url instead of the google search?

I've always used Firefox browser instead of Microsoft Edge, and I would like to continue using Firefox. However, it will not run in its current form under Windows 11. Does Mozilla plan to keep it compatible with Windows? I would like to keep using Firefox.

Updating to version 98.0 onwards Firefox has started saving a copy of every pdf file I view (open) in my downloads folder.

My settings have not changed:

Tools->Settings->General->Applications: - pdf (application/download): Always ask - pdf (application/force-download): Always ask - pdf (application/pdf): Use Adobe Acrobat DC - pdf (application/x-download): Always ask

And when the "ask" dialog pops up, I choose "open".

I have tried all standard methods/troubleshooting, including resetting the handlers.json file.

The only way to avoid getting a copy in the downloads folder is if I choose "Open in Firefox" (application/pdf) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat DC".

Any solution to this?

Thanks Michael

I like the button that shows the status of anything I elect to download (e.g. an image to put in an error report).

However about a week ago I started getting a pulldown style display in addition to the little status icon. Is there any way to shut that off? It's annoying.

Hello there,

The Firefox Browser Icon that is on the taskbar requires two clicks to open the browser for the first time.

So when I single click the browser icon on the taskbar it doesn't open, so I need to click the icon again to open it. Its not that I need to double click it its just that every single time I need to click once then click it again to actually open the browser

Is there a way to fix this issue please?

hi..please see attached image..I'm wondering if I did something to cause this. I think I clicked on the update FFN notification that regularly appears in the upper right-hand corner or my laptop screen. I then restarted the computer. then this error. I did the FF "refresh" and that seems (so far) to have fixed the problem, but it wiped my settings :( any suggestions or thoughts appreciate..thx Matt
