Since about a month ago I can't drag a file from a folder to an open email in Firefox. Was always able to, but it stopped a few weeks ago. I read that the new 99.01 version would fix this, I installed it today and the problem persists. What am I missing? Thank you to anyone who reads, cares and replies with solution.

Hi!

I've been using Markdown formatting on YouTube for aeons, converting any piece of text into bold (starting and finishing with an *asterisk*), italic (using _underscores_), and strike-through (with -hyphens-).

Yesterday I started to notice that the *asterisks* fail to change the fontweight (the other 2 options [italic and strike-through] still work); is there a reason for this? I keep all my updates up to scratch and didn't recently add, nor change anything, in my browser, so (imo) that can't be it. The mind boggles but, whatever it is that's causing it, I hope it can be fixed...

Thanks for your time, it's much appreciated!

I am using Windows 10 with Firefox 99.0 and I am trying to configure a Manual Proxy but my Proxy settings are all grayed out so I cannot even select Manual Proxy. I am logged in to my Firefox account. This happens both with and without VPN.

A Wi-Fi connected printer is available. On work it is necessary to print some reports from the browser. But they are not printed, although everything works from office programs or viewing PDF files. Help. Advise a solution.

Hi Team,

The emails were taking up a lot of space and I selected the compact now option on thunderbird. I want to retrieve my emails from the compacted folder as there are some important emails there. Can you please let me know how to access the same.

Thank you.

I have loved being a Mozilla-stuff user intermittently since teaching on Netscape 1.1, and now am making Firefox 98.02 my default browser. I like both Safari and Firefox, and sometimes use them simultaneously for two accounts on the same service (not right now). My physically pristine 2015 Mac cannot install OS's past the 10.12 I have, so Safari is failing. But I am exasperated at runarounds when trying to set up this Firefox account. I used the emailed verification code and seemed to get in, but got the red-box message "This account... administrator... error." I cannot tell whether the site is letting me use it normally, but I think not. I just spent an hour in help forums. Geesh, tech complexity has mushroomed since my LAN work in the 90s, and you volunteers get to cope with inarticulate queries like mine! Upload is failing of jpg screen shot that has been made anonymous. Help?

I had a service provider in Montreal Quebec citenet.net , My firefoxe account was with them , I would like to move my account using my google email on an other internet service provider in ste-Marguerite du Lac Masson Quebec how can I do that ?

I have to curate and compile sheets of announcements for a local humanitarian service provider forum. I do this by sifting through my Office 365 emails, and double clicking those that contain announcements so they open a window, then sorting the windows on a second screen, then read them, summarize them, file the pertinent information with links for my summaries, and when I get a page of them, send them out. I usually start with about 15 announcements on my other screen, and it takes me some time to get them all sorted and cascaded in order for the curation.

Some of them link to PDFs which Office 365 doesn't always preview and I click download, and this used to open them in the main browser window in a new tab, where I could read them and then save them. Recently, this behavior changed and they now open right in the window the email is in, with no bars of any kind or tabs to get out of them again. I hit the stack of pancakes button, and it had a tab marked Exit, so I thought that would exit me from the view.

Instead, counterintuitively, it exited me completely from FireFox, closing all of my carefully cascaded windows of announcements, and my main browser window with Office 365 in it and everything else.

Thanks a bunch. 1) What was so wrong with the previous setup that you needed to change it? 2) How for the love of whatever the author of this new "feature" was smoking, do I get it to revert to the email or is opening these attachments by "download" no longer possible without punting the whole thing to exit? 3) Does this mean I need to permanently disallow Firefox as the browser for all my PDFs or is there some way of doing something non-fatal to my work on a per-boot basis?

I have just upgraded my pc, new motherboard, cpu, ram and m.2 drive, of which I made a clone of my previous windows installation, on first opening it had the previous session, where i had opened another tab while it had the restore session tab open, this usually isn't a problem.

However it lost the session to restore, I have tried a complete copy from %APPDATA%/Roaming/Mozilla over to the new system, but to no avail, the session can still be restored on the other setup currently, which I had copied over manually to try resolve.

I even tried to copy the files 1 by one to test from sessionstore-backups and renaming to sessionstore.jsonlz4, however upon opening firefox, it rewrites the 9.5MB file with a 2KB file and I have no session to restore.

Is there a way I can resolve this as I don't remember all the tabs, I do need to go through them, but several I had open to return to.

Any help would be appreciated so I can get these back and go through them, would be easier than trying to copy all the URL's one by one to check them

When I open Facebook with Firefox all of the images in the FB session are blank, and they will not open in the usual manner. Also only about 1/4 of the FB session is displayed.

When I use Edge I have no problems at all, so I have to assume that it is FF and not my computer that is at fault.
Please advise.

I download some documents and save them on my hard drive. When I open them, it opens Firefox instead of opening Acrobat reader. I need to be able to work offline with them in Adobe - I do not want the HTML version. This has only started happening recently. If this can't be solved I will have to try another browser. I am a reasonably savvy user but I am not a technical expert. Thanks for any help going - I am desperate. They all seem to have saved themselves as HTML documents. Any ideas?

I travel for work and often stay at IHG properties (Holiday Inn, etc.). I have Firefox as my default browser; version 99.0. I cannot login to their wifi using Firefox; I have to copy the address and paste it into Google Chrome and after confirming my information I am able to browse normally until the next day; It must reset at some point.

This is the web address for the network login: https://www.msftconnecttest.com/redirect

I read this article about Captive portal detection: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314194 I change the setting per the article hoping it would take care of my concern but it did not.

Thank you!

Firefox now needs to be clicked on twice before starting. In addition is not reopening previous windows and tabs on startup although this option selected in settings. Is this related to a new version? Thank you!

The root problem is that when I try to open a movie in a web browser, I get the message "Oops. Your web browser is no longer supported. " see attached.

1370719 had a response that made no sense to me.

Is there anyway to fix this issue?
