Hi, I really love everything about Firefox Developer Edition, except the JSON viewer. I'm used to looking at plain formatted JSON like the JSON Formatter plugin provide. But, even thought I have installed JSON Formatter (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/json-formatter/?src=recommended), it only shows this tree/table-ish viewer that comes with Firefox Developer Edition. Is there any way to disable this feature and use a plugin for this, just as in Firefox ?

From my public IP of 104.158.49.18 FF ses the web site https://www.publicmobile.ca/ as a potential security risk. FF is reporting this incorrectly as other web browsers show this site as valid. I have included the certificate values.
what is the reason for the error meesage? Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.publicmobile.ca because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.

Unexpected behavior with "jump to end of word" keyboard shortcut on macOS

I often use the "Option+Left/Right Arrow" keyboard shortcut to navigate through text.
In Chrome and other programs, this works how I would expect it: using this site, the first press of the right arrow will move the cursors after "https" and before the ":" character. A second will move it to the end of "support" before the "." character.
However, Firefox will jump to between the "//" characters" and "support" on the first press, and will jump over the period after "support," before the word "mozilla."
This applies to the address bar, but also anywhere text is present, such as a form text area.
Strangely, moving the other direction does not skip past punctuation.
The behavior exhibited does not match that of the native operating system (moving to the end of a word, excluding punctuation) so I find it somewhat jarring. Is this something that could potentially be changed by a config and/or fixed at the application level?
Thanks.

FF updated and now I'm getting this very odd message-
"The iOS 10 private browser for Safari does not support storing settings locally. Some settings may not save or some features may not work properly for you. Updating to iOS 11 to solve this issue."
This shows on some sites when I try to log in but will work in a private window. Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.2 Firefox 72.0.1
To be clear...this error appears in firefox, NOT Safari despite the text content of the message

Firefox is set to restore previous session on startup. I quit Firefox, turned off my computer, turned it back on again, and opened Firefox. It did not restore the previous session, and it had logged me out. I logged back in again, but it still did not restore.
All the help articles, like this one (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-restore-my-tabs-last-time) say to go to the menu and select "Restore Previous Session". However this is not available for me - see attached screenshot.

Hi,
I use Firefox as my default browser.
Whenever I click on a link in an email it opens a new Firefox window instead of opening a new tab on a Firefox window that is already open.
My preference is for it to open a new tab on an already open Firefox window.
I have looked in the settings / preferences and can’t seem to find where to make this change.
Please can you advise the process / steps for me to make this to happen.

Firefox for Mac 72.0.1 prints only 3 pages of a web page. There seems to be a problem with Print Preview or Apple's Preview application or both, their interaction.
I've tried all of the suggestions. I tried all the print options. I tried using the Print Edit extension. I disabled extensions. I used safe mode. I tried deleting all the Preview prefs. I tried deleting every trace of Firefox and Mozilla from my hard drive, then reinstalling Firefox. I deleted and reinstalled my printer drivers for a monochrome Brother laser printer HLL 2370 that is only a few months old. I'm running macOS 10.11.6
Web pages print correctly in Brave, Safari, and iCab. Therefore this is a problem with Firefox. It's a perennial problem that I have had for many years. I have ALWAYS had problems printing web pages in Firefox. It's always something. I don't understand how something so basic can continue to go unfixed when other browsers don't have a problem with it. I'm baffled by the whole thing.

I'm using Firefox 68.0.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.5. When I go full screen, the tabs and address bar remain at the top of the screen. I can't make them go away. I've tried:
- Installing plugins (I tried a couple) - Disabling Add-ons (Safe mode) - Resetting Firefox - Disabling hardware acceleration (and restart browser) - Using different techniques to go full screen (Cmd+Shift+F, Cmd+Ctrl+F, Zoom menu) - Scrolling or clicking in the canvas to ensure focus
No matter what, the tab bar and address bar remain on the screen (see attached screenshot). I've also attached my browser config (filtered on "full"). Is there any way to get a full-screen experience in Firefox?

Firefox 72.0.1 64-bit on MacOS Catalina 10.15.2.
The issue start yesterday (2020-01-15). Youtube video start frequent pausing for buffering, which I don't experience for a long long time. In the past, only 8K videos require a bit longer start time. 4K and below are quite responsive when I move back and forth. However it changed starting yesterday.
I tried with Chrome and Safari with "stats for nerds" and notice a huge difference on connection speed between Firefox and the other 2 browsers.
Attached result in following order: Firefox, Chrome, Safari.
I tried multiple videos and results are similar.

I have been reading the forum and trying and seeing if changing some settings will solve the problem, but nothing has worked. The problem is this; when I reopen firefox after either A) having shut down my laptop, or B) having simply 'quit' firefox, I must enter my email address and password again, then enter my phone number so that it can send me a text to the link to the firefox app for my phone (which I have installed), then finally I can navigate firefox as normal and my websites and history are remembered. However, it is not really "as normal" because I have to SIGN INTO the websites again. Sometimes it remembers the username and password and all I have to do is click through it, but sometimes it doesn't and I have to manually sign into them. Bookmarks aren't ever saved either. I have attached the screenshot of the screen that comes up every time I reopen firefox and this problem happens. I did not have this problem on my older firefox instillation, just when I updated to the newest version. It is so irritating. If anyone can tell me what to do so that this does not happen, and it remembers me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
