How do I set a Custom URL fora new tab under: "Settings - Home - New Tabs and Windows"?

Under "Home Page and Windows", there is a "Custom URL" option, but NOT under "New Tab". There is NO "Custom URL" under the drop-down list, only "Firefox Home (Default)" or "Blank Page".

I want to be able to set the default URL Home page when opening a new "tab" (as well as when I create a new window. For example, when opening a new tab, I want to set the default Home page for the new tab to be Google.com.

I am running a PC with Windows 10 and the latest level of Firefox.

This is just a complaint . . . Settings>Cookies and Site Data>Manage Data does not show the server that set a cookie, it only shows the domain -- e.g. domain.com, not https://www.domain.com or even www.domain.com However, Settings>Cookies and Site Data>Manage Exceptions requires the complete server name. If I don't include "https://" or "http://" it adds them. This makes it difficult or impossible to actually manage exceptions; I can't specify which cookie(s) I want to allow, block, or save if I can't see the data that's stored.

Why can't I choose a domain in Manage Data and get a Manage Exceptions pop-up?

I am beginning to be asked by websites to turn-off ad-blocker. Just realized that Firefox has an ad-blocker embedded in its software. When I go to Add-ons & Extensions, Ad-Blocker is not listed so that I can turn it off. Suggestions on finding ad-blocker and having the ability to turn it off and on would be appreciated. Thanks

Firefox doesn't recognise my primary e-mail address for Firefox Account sign in, with message "Primary account e-mail required for sign in"

I use Firefox sync between multiple devices, including a desktop and a laptop on Ubuntu Linux. This is done through a Firefox account. Both Ubuntu devices mentioned run Firefox 108.0 for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I'm signed in on this Firefox account on my laptop (from which I'm writing this message). I recently (some months ago) changed my primary e-mail, since I may lose access to the older e-mail account soon. Now, suddenly, on my Ubuntu Desktop I received a message that I need to sign in to sync. When I click on "sign in", it takes me to tab that lists my primary e-mail address and asks for my password. I enter the password that I know is correct (it is listed under my saved logins on this Ubuntu laptop and the e-mail listed is the primary e-mail address with which I am signed in on my laptop, writing this message; it is also listed on my Firefox account details as my primary e-mail address). I then get a red message on tab stating "Primary account e-mail required for sign in", despite the fact that it is with my primary e-mail that I am attempting to sign in! I've tried it multiple times, to no avail.

At least two other users have posted about related concerns this year: (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1368875 and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1395902). However, nothing has been done to resolve this issue. I have followed all instructions provided for changing my primary e-mail address. This is definitely a fault on Mozilla's side and not mine. Please resolve this urgently, users risk losing vast amounts of data, through no fault of their own, if you fail to do so.

Youtube autoplay stopped to work properly.

After previous video next video really starts automatically then, may be after half a second or second, the video stops and returns to intro splash screen of the video. One must press Play to start this next video again. I tried next steps: 1. In Firefox Privacy and security settings / Autoplay: I allowed audio and video autoplay for all sites 2. On the left side of URL string for Youtube site I pressed the button and also allowed audio and video autoplay for the site. The image on this button changed. I reloaded Youtube - no effect, reloaded Firefox and Youtube - all the same.

3. I checked Youtube autoplay in Microsoft Edge browser - it works correctly.

What should be done in Firefox to restore autoplay? I don't remember when this problem appeared.

Hello Firefox! I wanted to understand if there is a way for a user to login to Outlook WEB ACCESS. If you login to OWA on Firefox, is there a capability to have S/MIME active?

I have researched that this is possible on EDGE, and did some research on Google to see if this is common.

Would there be a FAQ or guide on this topic?

Macbook Air M2. Updated firefox, updated OS.

So, I have a firefox tab open. When I set "Full Screen" in "View" setting, I still have the tabs and url bar shown. I want to be able to remove the tabs, url bar, and mac toolbar from the screen while on a firefox tab. How do I do this? "Full Screen" in "View" only removes the mac toolbar. If I remember correctly, my windows 10 computer just has to press F11 to go fullscreen and remove the tabs and url bar as well (or is that google chrome?).
