Under the Applications section of the General 'Tab' of settings I have the option 'Ask whether to open or save' selected. However when I am on a web page click on a downloadable/openable file(which has a app association) - Firefox doesn't ask me whether to save or open - It does both automatically.

I'm using Win 8.1 FF 115.13

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

1. I use a startpage called IGHome. That address is set as my default to open to. When it opens I notice that the address is not secure. When I add https:// in front of it, it does in-fact open, which is good. Even though I added that prefix to the address on the Internet Options page in my system, it still continues to open the old 'unsecured' way. I also cleaned IGHome out of my system before resaving it. Is there anyway to get my system to recognize the secure version? And, if I open any sites with passwords on the unsecured version, they DO open as secured so in reality I am still safe (even though my system is not opening the https site).

2. Also, on my IGHome page, there are 'Show Your History' and 'Show your Bookmarks' tabs at the top right in the toolbar. When I used to open them they would open almost flush right. Now they open almost in the center. Is there a way to make them open in their previous flush right location again?

Thank you in-advance for any time and assistance!

Sincerely,

Hi,

just for understanding:

Why can the Firefox source code (view-source) of a website be nearly three times the size compared with Chrome/Opera or when I save the Firefox source code marked and copied and then pasted and saved via an editor?

Example: Firefox 546,6 KiB Chrome/Opera 204,3 KiB via Editor 204,3 KiB (marked and copied Firefox source code)

Best

I noticed that websites in my main firefox profile began showing the time in UTC rather than following my timezone.

privacy.resistFingerprinting and privacy.resistFingerprinting.testing.setTZtoUTC are set to false

Other profiles follow my timezone, so I would imagine that this has something to do directly with my current firefox profile.

Thank you

I enjoy sending and receiving messages using TextFree on all of my devices.

But after the previous two updates of FireFox on my Windows 7 64 bit PC (the last one was today). I get a generic page instead of my messaging page when I go to this link:

https://messages.textfree.us/login

The page still works fine under Chrome, so it's clearly something that the update of FireFox broke.

Any possible fix?

Have issue when using Firefox where my PC internet connection gets disconnected. Running troubleshooting I get "The default gateway is not available" and to resolve it has to reset the network adapter. It occurs regardless if using internal Intel Centrino wireless N 6150 or external TP-link wireless Nano USB Adapter. The trigger is larger data upload... such as running a speed test or on a video meeting. Does not occur while using Chrome on same PC. This PC is running a older Windows 7 OS that I am aware is no longer supported. I am wondering if someone has ever come across this issue and know if there is a fix?
