I like to keep my browser windows slightly smaller than my desktop. I usually leave about a half inch or so free on each side. This way, I still have easy access to any desktop shortcut that is alone the top/bottom, or left right of the screen, without having to minimize my browser windows completely to see the entire desktop. But for some reason, for the last several Firefox versions, it will always resize its height to take up the entire height of the desktop. The width stays the same, the way I want it. But the height is always from the top of the screen all the way down to the task bar. I don't know if it happens every single time I close out of Firefox and reopen, but I know my manual resizing never lasts long. what is happening here?

Hello.

I wasn't able to find any RSS feeds to subscribe to in the known vulnerabilities sections, nor in the Mozilla Foundation security advisories pages. I'd like to subscribe in Thunderbird, if possible to them.

Is there a newsletter or other way to keep up-to-date with these advisories?

Hi community, I need your help- Since I installed the last version I click click the top menu with the mouse: - when in a tab, I can't close it with "x" or right click - I can't click to "back" and "forward" buttons - I can't edit the web URL! only by opening a new tab and navigating to a term I want with the arrow keys!

What should I do?

Thank you <3

Hi,

Whenever I make a bookmark, it automatically puts it in the Bookmark Toolbar, but I want it to default to the Bookmark Menu. I can't find any way to do that and can't find any good information about it. One site said I needed an ad-on, but I shouldn't need that for something so simple that used to work fine on my old computer with Firefox. I can't find any settings for this at all.

Please help me fix this.

Thank you,

Myrah

I tried using Chrome to export my bookmarks and then using Firefox to import them. Did not work. I tried using Firefox to import from other browsers. It could not find Chrome.

Please tell me what privacy preference this message refers to, and what I can do to get rid of it. Can I enter "Wired magazine" into some list somewhere of people that send me email who I believe are not sending me poisoned links, or should I simply use Chrome, or Bing, or whatever to read my email? Alternatively, could you please change your message or otherwise tell me what privacy setting I need to change?

Hello,

On some websites Firefox is displaying strange text/characters. I've tried refreshing and troubleshooting, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the problem was fixed for about 24 hours, and now it's back. I have confirmed my language is sent to English.

Has anyone experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it?

I don't want to use another browser, but at this point it looks like I'm going to have to. Everything displays properly on Chrome.

I have been using Startpage as my search engine forever. Startpage has a new option to delete cookies when you x out of a tab. It has a different url than the regular Startpage. I tried to get Firefox to accept it. Two thousand variations, iterations later, and I still couldn't. Now when I open Firefox it says, startpage.com/ not found in a big red ribbon at the top of the page. Firefox won't let me go back to the old one either. There are other things but I'll start with this.
