I was wondering if there any option to make my savings more structured, here is an example what i mean: all my downloads are saved in "\Downloads" or i can select it EVERYTIME i download ANYTHING from ANYWHERE, this sucks and i want it to be like this: "\Downloads\web.url\" so it gonna be like: "\Download\youtube.com\" or "\Downloads\gtihub.com\" and i want to have an option to define custom folders for each website, for example for github.com i want set this path: "E:\github-dl\", in my case, E: is my external hard drive. This solution will make user downloading experience much better and our filesystem will say thank to you! I hope you got my idea, i tried to search any extension in your shop, and chrome market but i didn't find any luck, so im asking you directly. I also never saw this kind of feature in any other browser so you could be the ever first one:)

You are fools. With the new desktop version you destroyed all my settings, all the sites I have remembered for years, without asking me if I wanted it because you turn off all my extension. You shameless idiots, you have destroyed all my years of work. And now I have an empty Firefox. Since it is empty, I will never work with you again, because I do not know what you fools can do, and you do not even ask me. I will switch to a new, smarter browser.

Fake Browser Management

02/24/2025 @3:22 pm CDT -- Hi; Firefox has recently been telling me [in the Settings screen] that "your browser is managed by your organization." This is on the 'General' page. THAT'S A PROBLEM, esp. on a STANDALONE PC. I didn't change any settings for that to happen.

Since I first saw this message in January, I've reinstalled Win 11 several times; wiped my drive b/c of a security compromise, changed a whole lot of PWs and other things. This is from 48+ yrs. of being a Tech Lady. But I couldn't find a solution to this - to remove this 'organizational' mgmt. of my box. How can this be removed and the browser again realize that I am one independent person?

Thank you.

Hi, BIG fan, but.. Is there any way to "convince" the beauuutiful dev`s to give us a radio check box in the settings that says "I know what I`m doing so I will update when I see the need" (and in fact turn off the veeeery annoying "UPDATE!!, UPDATE!!"... window, that is driving me inane. Comes up like something was on fire :( then it is just some minor thing for those that love streaming... that means... not me. I don not want to, but I probably have to (after umpften years with the fox) start looking for a browser that does not drive me nuts. Give people the option to update if and when they want to, without a over needy window in the top right eeevery 10 seconds, give it a rest, please?

My account is personal. Why is there a notification saying that it is being managed by my institution? I have been retired for almost four years, and have been able to use Mozilla Firefox without any problems until this morning. I have been using Mozilla Firefox long before I started working with my last employer.
