I realize that the various stories that are presented are simply and excuse to provide more space for advertising but they are so very overloaded with superfluous, repetitious, word and story extending information that I am really sick of it. The stories are usually good but SO over stuffed that anymore I just go straight to the end of the story and skip all the stuff in the middle. I would not be surprised if many others are doing the same thing and thereby also avoiding the a lot of the many advertisements that are also stuffed into the story. So the story extending process seems to be defeating your purpose. I suggest that stories that are a little more to the point might be read more (and more ads read more) by people who don't have all day to wade through those terribly verbose stories. Roger DeWeese

Probably an odd question. I dismissed a sponsored link accidentally on the new tab page that I do use, so I want to get it back as a sponsored link. If I'm going to the site anyway, firefox should get whatever cut it can. How do I restore a dismissed sponsored link? Thanks

Hey, guys. I have a problem when i type ´ + E or ´ + A, it should produces É and Á but it is deleted instantaneously. In firefox search bar it works as expect, but in skype or whatsapp it doesnt. My keybord is abnt2

I'm migrating a bunch of PDFs from an old Windows 8.a computer to a new Windows 11. I located a matrix under settings that offers some choice as to how FF was to handle downloaded PDFs. There are three options: Save, Open, Ask. I want to save only (Opening slows down the migration process). I selected Save in the drop down menu, but FF continue to Open. Can't continue until I solve this problem.

Thanks

I made the mistake of letting the browser automatically update. Today when I turned on my computer Firefox opened a fresh page (deleting all the tabs I had open) asking me if I wanted to import saved passwords and browsing data. That was annoying enough on its own, but instead of importing from the old version, it imported everything from my other browser which I had kept separate and different for numerous reasons.

On top of that, when I try to load web pages of any sort, it just sits there loading and does nothing so the browser is entirely unusable to me right now. Please tell me that there is an easy fix and/or a way to get all my data back.

I used goggle meet 3 times today. The first time, it worked just fine. The second time, worked even better than the first. The third time it says I don't have a camera even though it worked earlier. I can't seem to figure it out! I have let all the permissions allow my camera but it still won't work...

How can I stop emails from prn sites? I haven't ever gone to one! Is there a way for me to permanently stop them from sending me emails? I use Google Gmail on Firefox.

Firefox does not seem to be properly configured for Wayland on KDE Plasma 6.x systems. The generic "Wayland" logo appears in task switcher instead of the Firefox logo. Firefox is the only program I have with this issue. Setting desktop name (org.mozilla.firefox) as a property in the Window and Application Manager settings does not resolve the issue.

I've asked about this before but got no help Firefox is my browser of choice. Occasionally, I find in necessary to use Chrome.

The vast majority of time, when are both are active at the same time, one or both crash, like today. Firefox closed abruptly, then the crash report appeared. I have the crash report. Chrome froze up, and had to be shut down in Task Manager.

It only occurs in this scenario. Rarely does Firefox crash otherwise.

Can someone please advise where to go to get help?

I have a local HTML/Javascript document I use for compressing local image files. It relies on HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob() to achieve the compression in the usual way; a pertinent excerpt:

                   const output = document.getElementById("outputDiv");
                   const blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
                   const img = new Image();
                   img.src = blobURL;
                   // ...
                   img.onload = function () {
                       URL.revokeObjectURL(this.src);
                       const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
                       canvas.width = img.width;
                       canvas.height = img.height;
                       const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
                       ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
                       canvas.toBlob(
                           (blob) => {
                               const anchor = document.createElement("a");
                               anchor.download = getNewFileName(file.name); /* uses extension .webm for .webm, .jpg for everything else */
                               anchor.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
                               anchor.textContent = "DOWNLOAD";
                               output.append(anchor);
                           },
                           mime,  /* set earlier based on file extension: .webm -> "image/webm", everything else -> "image/jpeg"
                           quality / 100    /* (user-specified) */
                       );
                   };

Here's the quirky thing, though: when I'm compressing, say, a .jpeg file (or a .png), clicking on the download link opens a save-file dialog, but when using a .webm file, it opens the compressed image in a new tab! True, I can always then save the image from there (the resulting file is in Firefox's temp folder), but I don't understand the difference in behavior -- and indeed, in at least one other browser I tried (the latest Vivaldi) the download happens as expected regardless of input file type. In all cases the anchor hrefs look like, e.g., "blob:null/724ab85e-53ba-4890-9868-7f1ba27d4278".

Any idea why this is happening? I highly doubt it's the intended behavior.

Browser: Firefox 132.0.2 for Windows. Environment: Windows 10 Home 22H2 version 10.0.19045.

FF v132.0.2 (64-bit). We utilize Sharepoint/Microsoft 365, and since switching to Firefox, the zoom controls normally located in the lower righthand corner for Excel spreadsheets is just gone. This is with extensions disabled, even tried Private View. Chrome properly shows it.

Screenshots attached showing Firefox/Chrome. That basically eliminates our ability to use FireFox if that's the case since there's no other way to do it.

I'm logged in to my Firefox account, I visit (for example) ESPN.com on my PC. I adjust the size to fit my PC screen, then when I visit the same site on my laptop the website doesn't look right so I have to size down, but then when I visit on my PC I have to size up again etc etc etc.

I want to individualize the size of webpages, how do I do that?
