Firefox will not longer close without also closing my pinned tabs which pretty much defeats the purpose of pinning tabs for later and makes it much harder to keep track of things. I didn't notice the first time and lost my pinned tabs that had been there for months, I immediately put them back but now everytime I try exiting firefox it informs me i'm about to close however many tabs are open + the pinned tabs. Does anyone know how to solve the problem/what might be causing it.

2025 how to default to system print dialogue box instead of Firefox Print

(April 2025) So suddenly, after my most recent FF update, if I have a document open in FF and hit "print" and choose "use system dialog box" (or whatever the exact wording is), Firefox Print opens up instead of my usual system dialog box. Why is this happening, and is there a setting I can change to DEFAULT to the regular SYSTEM PRINT dialog box instead.

I do not like FF Print. It prints one page at a time w/ like a minute pause between pages in a multi page document. And when I need more settings, it opens up the HP dialog box anyway, so wtf is the point? I just want my system dialog box back where all my print settings are in one place.

Thank you for any help!

How can I customize the headers and footers of a print job? Specifically, I want to change where the header and footer info appear on the page, i.e., left corner, center, right corner. I'm using Firefox Browser version 141.03. Under Print > Options, the only option is to show or not show the headers and footers. There is no option to EDIT them. Thank you.

When printing the same page repeatedly, FF gets increasingly slower and slower each time until it is downright ridiculously slow and takes up to a minute, perhaps more, to get to the print menu. However, if you reload the page, printing is instantaneous (at least for the first or second time). Some history or memory management problems?

FF Version 135.0 (64-bit) on MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.3.1

One test case would be https://api.razzlepuzzles.com/cryptogram. Keep selecting New Game from the pull-down menu on the right and try printing as PDF (or anything else).

Printing Etsy shipping labels

I have two shops on Etsy. From what I understand, I cannot access them both from the same browser, so I have Google Chrome for one and Firefox for the other. However, I have had a lot of trouble printing invoices and shipping labels from Etsy. When I hit print in Etsy, the invoices and labels are sent to Word and then there is some corruption. Yesterday, the shipping label was too small and the top portion was filled with Chinese language and not English. The rest of the label was in English. Is there a reason why the forms will not print directly from Etsy in Firebox? Transferring the files to Word (this is done by Firefox) makes a process that should be quick and easy a pain in the neck. Can this be resolved or I am going to need to use another browser. Thanks.

After downloading a file which is saved to my Mac Download Folder the file is removed once I close the Firefox Web window. I checked the folder before the window was closed and the file was there. After closing the window the file is no longer in the folder. Also it is not in the trash.

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

I use Firefox as my main browser for all my work, but when doing to print off my labels with barcodes the quality isn't great, I have compared this using Edge and Chrome and you can really see the quality difference.

Has anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

Thank you in advance. Pete

I would like to find a way to detect when the print dialog is closed in Firefox (whether the user clicks "Print" or "Cancel"). My goal is to automatically close the opened tab once the print dialog is dismissed.

Currently, I trigger the print dialog like this: var wdw = window.open(fileUrl, '_blank'); if (!wdw) {

   onError();
   return;

} setTimeout(function () {

   try {
       wdw.print();
   } catch (e) {
       onError();
   }

}, 100); However, I haven't found a reliable way to detect when the print dialog is closed so that I can close the tab accordingly.

In Chrome, I was able to achieve this by monitoring focus events and checking document.activeElement. This allowed me to determine when the print dialog was closed and automatically close the tab afterward. However, this approach does not seem to work in Firefox.

Is there a way to track when the print dialog is dismissed in Firefox?

My Canon printer disconnected from my computer after Firefox offered me CutePDF writer printing which I did not take.

The drop down menu for printers under settings no longer shows my Canon, only this Cute one.

Not Cute...Need to be able to print.

Connection to Zoom on this same desktop is not working right. The meeting flashes on and off. Ideas?

Thanks, Karen
