Hi! For some reason accounts.firefox.com is not displaying in english on my desktop, but in Norwegian, and specifically nynorsk to make things even weirder. On another PC it's displaying in english as I want it to be. My Firefox is set to english (although apparently has Norwegian (bokmål) installed which I can't remove cause the remove button is grayed out...), and my preferred languages for displaying pages are set to english only.

i have my broswer set to open all pdf files in adobe. It used to open in adobe and create a tmp file that i couldnt see, but they were randomly deleted. Not only do the files not get deleted any more (i have to delete them manually, it is now creating files on my desktop. (i have not changed any settings on my pc) This is a serious problem as i use pdf files all day. By the time i am done for the day, my desktop is littered with hundreds of pdf files that i have to delete. I have my settings set to use Adobe to open my pdf files. I do not have it set to save ANY files. How do i stop this from happening.

During an initial visit to slashdot.org Firefox hangs for approx 45 seconds while the status bar says "looked up a.fsdn.com." Subsequent visits during the same browser session load promptly.

This is with Preferences -> General -> Network Settings -> Enable DNS over HTTPS -> Cloudfare or NextDNS. With Firefox DoH disabled the problem is not present. [Interesting side, the machine's systemwide DNS settings are configured for Cloudfare 1.1.1.1 ]

AFAIK all other sites load normally. I've been using the Firefox DOH for several months with only the above site as a problem.

Ideas?

Environment: Firefox desktop 106.x and 107.x macOS 10.13.6 The problem is present in "Troubleshoot Mode" when Firefox DOH is enabled.

I received an email about "Get early access to a Hubs subscription" on both the current email address I use for my Firefox account and the email address that I used previously. The latter is neither my secondary email address. How is it possible that I received an email on my old address?

Hello, I would like to point out that the window or the password for accessing the mozilla firefox browser can be circumvented simply by selecting the "Cancel" button or by clicking on the red cross.

In other words it is useless, whereas before it worked perfectly.

Hope you fix this problem soon.

Best Regards

Mozilla makes it so difficult to use its features- for example I find nothing that says Restore Previous Session. I went to the stuck of three lines at the top right and went to hisotry, click on recently closed window and absolutely nothing came back.

Mozilla people lies too much and cares nothing about good communications, awesome instructions  and technical support.

Lately every time you release an update you break something in how Amazon is displayed. Not on all pages, the initial main page is fine, but if you try and view any lists or past purchases the display is unreadable. I've noticed this in the past, but this time it happened right after your last update, so I conclude that's where the problem lies. The attached screenshot is of my Amazon Wishlist. If you have one of those you'll notice the appreaence is way off. And BTW I was trying to delete the list, or perform any of the other actions that result in those warnings. Thank you.

I go to a document on a webpage on the internet. I select the "print" button and the "Print" window opens. I select to print one copy of one page and press "Print". My printer starts printing and out comes several pages with unreadable characters at the top of the page with the rest of the page blank. Then several black pages come out of the printer. I have to turn the power off on the printer to get it to stop.

I contacted Hewlett Packard and they said the printer was operating normally and the problem was with the browser.

Please help. RollsPhantom

The Markup published an article yesterday revealing how some of the biggest tax preparation websites out there are passing confidential information back to Meta/Facebook.

It appears that this is something that the Facebook Container plugin would block, but I wanted to double-check and make sure.
