I'm trying to access my federal government account. They want me to verify my identity at verify.id.me. When I reach the point that it wants to see my ugly mug on camera it tells me there is no camera. I've given verify.id.me permission to use the camera in privacy & security. I can record a video with ffmpeg. What have I missed? I don't see any relevant errors in firefox's output. I'm trying in safe mode.

Dear Well Loved, Firefox community.

I wanted to ask if theirs a trick to, or if not, ask for a how to ask mozilla to create a new functionality for storing you Default Session Setup.

Whats the idea, is very simple. This surges, for my needs of how I use the tool.

Somewhere, 70%-90% of my work week hours are spent on a browser, specific on the very best and my first love, Firefox (well si was not may first, but it the closest to Netscape, my true love). For organization reasons, I always open my tabs on the same order and pin the first 4 to 5 tabs, there are my top 4 to 5 tools, example: my email, my calendar, messaging (whatsapp or slack), , my comapy tab (erp, crm, wms, etc).

So it will be nice, that at any divice I'm login, every time I open my Firefox this pin tabs always open first, so that my working setup is open wright away.

Printing pages from Firefox shows badly pixellated and almost unreadable text for all except quite large size fonts. First uploaded image shows the first part of what I get if I print to PDF my own web page at http://www.zen224037.zen.co.uk/

Both printing to PDF and printing to a real printer show the same problem.

Firefox displays this web page (and others) correctly. The second uploaded image shows what I get if I use Spectacle to take a screenshot of the page as correctly displayed by Firefox.

Other applications can print correctly. The third uploaded image shows what I get if I open the source code of my web page with a text editor (kate) and ask it to print that to PDF.

This problem seems to have appeared since I switched my graphics driver from "nouveau", which was causing my display to lock up, to the NVIDIA driver obtained from the openSUSE repository at https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.5

I tried clearing the startup cache as recommended on the Troubleshooting page, changing the size of Firefox's default font. and changing the default font to Adobe Helvetica. None of these helped.

I wish to backup my password file and tried to follow: https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1189644

I could not work it out and suspect the instructions refer to a version of Firefox I'm not using. My version is 68.12.0esr.

Thanks

Hi there,

I've been using firefox as my main browser and I've created a account and using it all the time for syncing the settings, bookmarks, logins, extensions etc.

BUT due to some unwanted (really irritating) search suggestion were being shown to me by firefox, I had to uninstall firefox from my system.

    • Throughout the process, I'd kept syncing ON always!!

But when I installed firefox again and after loggedin, I'm syncing everything but this is restoring (syncing) very old data which doesn't have my latest bookmarks, extenstions & saved logins!!

How DO I get my all data???

URGENT PLEASE!! THANK YOU

I'm struggling to get Firefox to use `http` instead of `https` when I'm doing development on my laptop. Playing with the `HTTPS-only` in the settings didn't make difference. With enable or not. I tried to add my `localhost` to exception list, but Firefox still tries to use `https.`

I understand the security concern from Firefox team, but if I'm trying to load by typing `http,` I would appreciate if Firefox gave me a benefit of doubt that I know what I'm doing. Maybe I could disable this feature temporarily. Why force `https` on `localhost`?

Please allow us some flexibility.

I would like to enable picture-in-picture without constantly having a popup for it anytime my cursor goes onto the video screen. You could just put a button somewhere out of the way. It's so annoying I have to just disable it, and that's not right. Nobody needs popups of any kind for anything ever. It's the same as an ad.

I was having problems with my email and was looking more closely at those settings as well as firefox/ deleted cache, cookies , etc. 5 months ago my email was hacked so I am being extra cautious....

I just discovered there are many items listed that say to save the application. I do not recall adding these.... How did they get there? I recall whatever was listed I chose that I be asked what to do with it. Here is a screenprint so you can see what the items are. I use Linux. The only change I made after seeing this is to ask me about anything not listed. The answer had been to save. Should I change them all to ask me? Most of the items I do not use and or know what they are. Thanks ! [email-removed]

Fixing the new way of opening files

Hello,

Starting Firefox 97, opening a file involves downloading it the same way as if I choose to save it. It results in both Download folder and downloads list in the browser being polluted with a million of files I only wanted to open once with a specific app (pdfs, xls, m3u etc.).

Previously Firefox was using a hidden internal folder for saving such files and deleting them later, so Open In App really meant "open, do not save locally". Now any option just means "Save the file to the Download folder and let it be there forever".

How can I fix this unsuccessful UX decision apart from downgrading to an older version?

Thank you.

P.S. "If you dislike new features in the latest version of Firefox, your first reaction might be to go back to the previous version. Rather than downgrading, try getting used to the new features..." is probably the worst suggestion you can possibly give to someone with their workflow broken by a sudden update they can't decline with a feature they never asked for.
