This URL below will return a XML file in Edge/chrome but not in Firefox. I use Joomla as a CMS and it's extensions to display a RSS feed worked fine in both browsers until a couple of months ago. I've tried with a vanilla Mozilla/FF with all extensions disabled but still will not return the XML file

I don't know where the problem lies. I have a number of videos on youtube and when I was doing some work in markdown I clicked on an older link and was redirected to a website with some bozo trying to promote something - not mine. I tried a few more times and got a bunch of different websites and bozos. This is from clicking on the shared link on the the youtube page.

I don't know whether I've something on my computer, your browser that's causing it, or something somehow on youtube????

Got any suggestions?

Including a screen shot of the each clicks results.

For others who have access to my computer NOT having that access is Exactly why I set up Primary password in the first place. Surely there must be a way to fix this???? haas2128@comcast.net Thanks.

2 weeks ago I visited a git hub page to try to find a solution to my Logitech keyboard problem.

Then all of a sudden I noticed that on start up, this webpage kept automatically opening. Needless to say, I have disabled open on start. I have cleared cache data, refreshed the browser and uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing gets rid of this opening webpage.

Why? Even when the browser is uninstalled, something keeps attempting to execute the command / process to open this webpage. How can I kill it? I did download only an afk file, surely it wasn't a virus? This is just a random person from Israel who posted about a keyboard. Surely I am not hacked? Please help me kill this random problem.

To reiterate, this website automatically opens on start up on matter what.

I've compared chrome shortcuts and Firefox shortcuts and hope to improve.

If you add a shortcut like Chrome, please let me use it separately. I still use Chrome because I don't like the shortcut icon. 1. So that I can use a shortcut icon like Chrome. 2. Make the shortcut icon as big as Chrome.

I don't know if you can listen to this. Firefox developers can make a big difference when they listen to this. Users choose a browser for their own convenience with additional features

This morning, my Firefox browser was unable to open so I downloaded it again and tried to sync up my browser using my email address. When I used my email address and reset the password, a much older version of my browser without all my bookmarks logged in. I've only use the *hidden for privacy*@gmail.com email address so I'm not sure if I have two profiles under that email. On my phone which has been sync'd to my profile for years, I have all the bookmarks that I've been using for year. I don't want to sync it now so I don't loose it.

When I regularly clean out cookies, there is one that keeps showing up in spite of my trying to remove it. Info in that dialogue box says it has been with me for more than a week. Of course, I keep all regular Mozilla cookies, but this one is strange. It is 'about.ef2a7dd5-93bc-417f-a698-14c3116864f.' Can you tell me what this is?

I even tried running in safe mode but the problem remains. If I copy an image from anywhere - Discord, a website, the snipping tool in windows - and go to paste it into Facebook/Plurk/anything similar, it doesn't work.

This works perfectly in Chrome and used to work perfectly in Firefox. This is becoming infuriating. I can't even do 'take screenshot' and have it paste.

Hi. Not so much as a bug report but a feature request. I am attempting to add the same URL to two separate bookmark folders on my bookmark toolbar so that I may have a better chance of finding it in six months when I'm likely to need to visit that website again. The reason is that the website in question fits neatly in terms of subject into two of my folders.

At present in Firefox, if you place a URL in a bookmark folder then try to place it again in a separate folder then Firefox appears to remove the URL from the first bookmark folder and place it in the second. It would be handy for Firefox to either just accept the second placing or display a dialogue box pointing out that the URL already exists in another folder and asking if the user wants to a) move the URL to the place where the user tried to place a new bookmark, or b) go ahead and place a duplicate in the newer folder c) cancel the request.

I'm a long term user / fan of Firefox and have no intention of moving browsers. This functionality would be very useful. Hoping you can action this in the next update.

Regards

Martin

Every time I open anew a page it invariable displays the page somewhere mid-way down requiring me to scroll up to the top (if page is large enough to warrant a scroll). I'd prefer every page open at the top at all times. Is there any switch in the configuration editor that would allow for this?

Thanks -Ej

When I sign in to my bank, placing the cursor in the username box produces a number of username options, including the actual unsername and other mistyped ones from previous login efforts. I don’t want any unsername prompts. I went to Passwords in Firefox and made sure to remove the bank as a site to retain and offer such information when signing into that account. I continue to receive these username prompts. This doesn’t happen with other accounts. I cannot track down where that username information resides, how to remove it, and how to prevent Firefox from retaining this username information for this bank account.
