every time whe I download a rar file it is opened with winrar even the setting for the rar file extension is set to save and not open the file. Also some about:config settings I learned from some forums on the web do not help. I think this missbehaviour took place in the past after updating FF but I cannot remember which update it was. How can I configure FF to not open downloaded rar files with winrar (I want FF only to save the file)?

Hello, I use the Manage Bookmarks / Library function a lot. However, it drives me crazy that the library always opens at the folder: Other Bookmarks/BSP2 trash folder . . . DO NOT REMOVE! I then have to navigate up to find the folder I need. This gets really tedious after a while.
Is there a way to get the library to open at another folder, preferably the most recent folder?
Thanks!

Yesterday I was playing videos on rumble fine. Sat my laptop down, picked it back up after waking up and suddenly no sound on any rumble.com video. Youtube plays video and audio fine. So does X and truth social. In fact, any website plays audio EXCEPT rumble.com. Its not Windows related. Its firefox related. I installed Chrome and rumble.com plays with sound fine. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and that didnt fix it. I have rumble installed via WebCatalog an it plays videos and audio fine. I then installed Firefox nightly and never signed in or anything and still rumble isnt playing sound. Its rumble+firefox=no sound. And it appears to be happening to others too on other help forums. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS?
Why did Firefox stop playing Netflix Video on Windows 10 this week?

I had Firefox set to load 4 tabs when started. Something has changed recently and now it seems as if the same 4 sites keep repeating somehow. I have set the Home/Custom URLs to these 4 sites, but cannot prevent them to load again when already loaded.

I have been a Firefox user for most of my time on a computer and that's a lot of years. A regular site I visit is Townhall.com. A few months ago I could no longer play videos because the link (video screen) would not appear. The text below where the screen should have been appears. I worked with Townhall on this and we could not solve it. Interesting was that periodically the link would appear but now doesn't appear at all. So I am forced to use MS Edge for Townhall videos.
Then it happened on another site I frequent - RacerX.com. When I try to play a video I get a blank screen with the message: "Unfortunately your Targeted Advertising privacy settings prevent us from showing you this YouTube Video. Please update your consent to see this content." I cannot find anything in settings which should cause this. I changed nothing. Settings are the same as they've been for years. So now for RacerX videos I have to use MS Edge.
I would prefer to continue to use Firefox as my browser but switching back and forth is not productive. As much as I do not want to make MS Edge my default browser it looks like I will have no choice unless you can help me solve this issue.

sinds een week staan bij alle ontvangen emails bovenin een scherm met allerlei gegevens die wij niet kennen en waarvan wij niet weten wat het is. Ik denk dat er een fout gemaakt is bij het oploaden van een van de laatste versies, maar ik weet dat natuurlijk niet zeker. ik ben een leek en geen programmeur. als ik een email wil afdrukken krijg ik eerst 3 pagina's met deze informatie. Ik heb het eerste en derde blad gescand en zal die toevoegen. Na de 3e pagina komt pas de email die ik wil gebruiken.
Hoe raak ik die informatie die ik niet wil hebben kwijt?

I am getting ALOT of these popups in my brower now. Domain: militantwitnessfelon.com, IP Address 192.243.59.13. This any many others are shown as being in the firefox.exe file. There are several others; Domain: aoms8xa9b.com IP Address 212.117.190.104; several other IP Addresses also. How do I get rid of these? Malwarebytes is blocking these now.

My default search engine was Norton Safe Search but now it does not appear as one of the options to choose. I cannot remember all of them. Bing and Google are two of them but not Norton Safe Search although I have been able to add it to the toolbar. Why is it no longer one of the options?

Windows Updates (KB5035845) and 10.0.19041.4163
After these latest updates, EVERY, Firefox browser (derivatives included, i.e. LibreWolf, etc...) are opening VERY slowly. Its almost like the browser is freezing while opening for around 10 - 20 sec, then opening. It used to open within a second or two. If I uninstall the updates the problem goes away, BUT, windows re-installs them automatically. After it is up and running its ok. The problem seems to be on startup only.
Why my downloaded files automatically converted to pdf?

You can ignore the rest of my questions if you have no time for this.
Hint: Seeing as most software search functions are highly inadequate, I can only expect that AI will slow the workings of all software-operated system to a crawl or to a screeching halt. I see such an obvious lack of willingness to make software work for most people, instead of for the few geniuses who think everything goes without saying, that I have no confidence in software people anymore.
Software was once a promise, 40 or 50 years ago. Now it more and more becomes a promise unfulfilled. And nobody wants to do anything about it. It's not even recognized as a problem. Sadly, this happens in Community operated software like Mozilla just like in the big for profit Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc enterprises. I am trying to be as kind as possible in this.

4) Why does the search term "Version" produce zero result in Firefox "Settings"? Seems like a very, very common term.
5) I am pretty sure that "Sharing Trouble-shooting Information" will not help you with answering my questions. How much do you want to bet on that?
6) Why can't search software answer a question with another question, asking intelligently for more detail
in order to decipher what the initial question might require to be answerable?

On some sites where the field allows you to start entering characters and it filters the drop down options, Firefox's password manager is covering up the drop down and I'm unable to select an option. If I try to use arrows or select some covered up option, it fills with a stored password and gives me an error that it is an invalid entry. How do I get the password manager to stop taking over these fields?

I am running Firefox. When I open the Task Manager, it shows that there are 13 Apps listed for Firefox with 1 for Runtime Broker. I have only 2 tabs open. Task manager shows that all together the Firefox apps are using only 0.4% of CPU, but are using 521.3MB of memory. When moving around the different apps I am using, the non Firefox apps are running more slowly due to the amount of memory used by all these Firefox accounts. I want to know what are these apps and why are they there when I have only the 2 tabs open?
