Hello I noticed that only files with size less than 8.5 MB are saved in the cache directory of my hard drive. Is it possible to change the system to save also larger files in this directory? Is it connected with other programs, like CCleaner?

I got a new computer. When i went to firefox to import my favorites it wouldnt accept my password and said it was too short. I was forced to make a new password. First of all i have reinstalled windows many times and never was i asked that i can recall for a password to obtain my favorites. I would have saved this information had i known. I used my email and password for my email which is when it told me i had to make a new one since i had no idea what password was previously used. I have stopped using firefox for this reason. I just want to know if i can get back my favorites list. If not i will no longer use firefox

Just finished the Windows 10 1903 feature release upgrade. Firefox allows me to browse just fine, there is only a slight problem that is annoying as I like to keep browser cache/history clear.
When I right-click to launch FF, the list of Recent searches in the menu is forever long. I've tried the Remove Item From List, but the list never gets any shorter. I used the normal procedure for Clear History and Cookies/Data in Privacy & Settings. Clearing Everything from everywhere that I know of.
However, the Recent list never gets any shorter. I even tried deleting the cache2 folder with FF closed, but no luck.
I've attached an image of the list in hopes someone can offer any advice. Thanks a bunch in advance.
Cheers

I installed Firefox in US English, and selected US English as the Chosen Language preference in Options. I also updated my English (US) Language Pack. However, the three-bar menu, the Tool Bars, Customize, etc. all show in Japanese. Looking at Troubleshooting, I see under Internationalization & Localization that Application Settings Requested Locales ["en-US","ja"] Available Locales ["en-US"] App Locales ["en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-US"] Default Locale "en-US" Operating System System Locales ["ja-JP"] Regional Preferences ["ja-JP"]
I have a Japanese computer and switch between languages for work; however, I prefer to use only English for Firefox as it's my stronger language and I feel more comfortable when I'm 100% sure I know what I'm saying "Accept" to. Is there any way to make the menus use my Chosen Language and not the Operating System Language?
When multiple tabs are opened, pressing back button should not close the browser altogether. It should close the current tab and return to the next tab.

Very suddenly, Google Hangouts no longer works with Firefox, as of the evening of June 11th. I tried Firefox add-ons but they don't work. I can open Google Hangouts page, but cannot use the messaging utility. I used it for years until last night. Apparently, a plug-in is missing or doesn't work.

In the past I could drag files from the downloads dropdown. Now, in order to drag downloaded files I have to open the downloads folder, which is an additional step and a nuisance. I suppose this changed with a recent FF update.
Is there any way to get the old functionality back?

Having long been puzzled by what Firefox considers to be my location, I have tried to find out how to set or change it. I followed all leads that seemed promising. the most direct lead was through the Menu (three bars in my PC-based Firefox). It does not contain the Settings option, nor any kind of 'More' option. I even used the about:config lead simply to find it is enabled. All I know is that Firefox holds a Location other than what I would want to to. But I simply cannot find a way to identify where its held; so I can change it.
Given how straight forward this need is I am puzzled on how hard it is to find out how to change it. Can someone help, other than by repeating the common instructions for using the Menu? I attach my list in case it helps.

When accessing a youtube video using Firefox on my Mac I get the following error:
"Video unavailable This video is restricted. Try signing in with a Google Apps account."
When accessing the same video using Firfox on my Android phone is plays fine. When accessing the same video using Chrome on my Mac is plays fine.
I checked the Firefox settings on my Mac and couldnot see any obvious problems. I tried changing some of the options but that made no difference.
Grateful for any help you can provide.

I'm using Firefox 67.0 under MX Linux. My monitor is 25" with a resolution of 1920x1200. With this resolution, the text and icons in Firefox Menu and Toolbars are tiny and almost impossible to read. The Thunderbird add-on Theme and Font Size Changer works reasonably well for Thunderbird, so is there a corresponding add-on for Firefox?
I know that Firefox is largely developed by people who are volunteers, but it seems that a tool, as part of the basic Firefox program, should be available to make these changes without installing add-ons or modifying the code manually. Almost everyone needs to be able to tweak these things at one time or another.
