Firefox was selected FOR ME by a third-party site that uses it for webinars (I think WebinarJam was the culprit; now they're using Zoom), as my default browser - I did not select it, now I can't unselect it. I've been using Chrome for everything, now Firfox is hijacking every link I embed in any Word doc - this should NOT have happened. Please tell me how to UNselect Firefox as my default brower, which I never selected to begin with!!! Thank you, Scott (Skip)

You actually have an egregious error in your install procedure/program. 1) you fail to tell folks/warn them close down i) FF when installing the update and/or ii) save and delete all open sites in the FF being upgraded. 2) there is a failure to TELL us reboot FF after the install.

Doing research and writing all day long as I do, I actually hold a number of reference sites open in FF as I work.

My friend who happens to understand all this computer stuff tells me that the open sites on my FF is what impeded the successful install . . . .

The other grumble I have with you-all is that it has taken me too much time to try and find a way to respond to you with the information needed to solve this problem for the FF community . . . .

I am a paying/donator to FF . . . and I must tell you I am beyond disappointed by all this dropped ball on sensible communications practice!

"Network Protocol Error" "Connection Failure" "You are not securely connect to this site."

It has almost become impossible to continue using this browser. Sadly, I had it as my primary browser for a long time and now I have to switch out everything and move to Chrome or something else.

Thank you for being so cautious and ramping your security features, but not to the extent that it just becomes unusable.

Do something!

Firefox will NOT allow the search facility within Monrovia Plant Nursery to work.. it seems to be stuck in an endless loop. I did find, however, that Microsoft's EDGE works perfectly without any problems. Since I rarely use any internet browser other than Firefox, please HELP!

In each update there is, my browser is reset, the history, tabs, and all other data is lost with no way to get it back. I'm given no warning of when this will happen and frankly, this shouldn't even be an issue. This makes Firefox unusable and despite my love for this browser, I won't be using Firefox unless the issue is resolved.

I have lost several very important tabs and data, and this isn't the first time. This has happened since I got Firefox. This ussue makes this browser unusable and unreliable.

I haven't traced this to FF updating, so don't yet have a hunch on what is triggering this:

Browser: FF for Win.

ISSUE #1: Downloads are going to the default location (Windows Downloads folder) in spite of being set to 'Always ask you where to save files'. This setting is retained correctly, but the browser is NOT asking me where to save the downloads - it just puts them in the default Windows "Downloads" folder)

ISSUE #2: I NEVER have ANY browser save passwords, yet despite repeatedly setting it NOT to ask to save passwords, here I am AGAIN setting it NOT to save passwords. This seems to happen every few months, but I don't yet relate it to FF updates.

Thoughts?

Thank you, Doug
