For instance, saving a webpage from either Firefox or Google Chrome (same problem with both, but NOT with IE), when I highlight the link, it says (at the bottom of the folder where the link resides), "Internet Shortcut." but instead of opening into my default (Firefox) brower, it opens to a Print prompt, as if I commanded the link to print. There is no right click option to OPEN WITH when I right click on one of these corrupted links. This is really a nuisance. What can I do to fix it?

This is a 2019 bump to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1221476 .
Firefox renders text incorrectly. It uses DirectWrite, which is incorrect, it should use GDI to render text. In all the next updates please immediately rewrite the Microsoft Windows renderer sourcecode to render all text with GDI.

I usually use and update my PortableApps version of FireFox, that runs from my Thumb/Flash drive, at the Public Library network's workstation due to my use of their facilities for research. The Library uses this same version of FireFox on each of their workstation, too. About three weeks ago, PortableApps indicated that FireFox had an Update to version 68 ready for my copy of FireFox to use. I accepted to update My Personal copy of FireFox to this version while using the Library's workstation running Windows 7. Now when I startup my personal copy of FFox from my PortableApps Flash drive, I immediately noticed that INSTEAD of showing the Home page that I had chosen many years ago and was still using, it had changed to the Library's selected Starting Webpage, as if I was starting FFox or Chrome from THEIR installed software ON this workstation (please see -- the attachment showing the Grayed-out selection about the Home Page). I have contacted PortableApps via IRC and they confirmed that they do not effect the installation of FFox other than install upon the logically identified drive as the target device. They felt that there was some background process running and this process might have applied an Enterprise Policy file to this installation process. They then suggested contacting Mozilla's support. I would like to properly address this change and also see what other preferences may have been affected. I have posted this Question due to having been hurt by using a Generic solution (in the Past) described for a similar but not the same issue (i.e. How to Disable the Enterprise Roots Preference). Reading a bit further, there seems to be two methods of accomplishing this type of control (MS's - Group Policy -or- a policy.json file). In the meantime, I thought that I would seek Mozilla's Support more specific advise and help. I find this VERY annoying considering, I am using my personal version of software and they Only recently ( after using their network for years ) affected my copy without ANY notice posted on their network of this type of change for my consideration. My benefit to the use of a my personal copy is to be able to save found sites to My - Bookmarks/Favorites. Otherwise I would not have this ability, but with notices, I would have found either other public networks or methods to have this functionality years ago.
I hope that someone may have a better process of figuring out how and what to do to in these types of situations. Also what would be the best way to protect an otherwise operating Browser - Say backing up, What ! ? Prior to making changes ? Thanks ahead of time !

Hi all,
I would like to know, how I can prevent the uninstall of addons from the toolbar menu? Even if I decide to remove them from the toolbar with customize, I can still uninstall them after moving them back up to the toolbar with customize.
Is there some add on that password locks this from happening?
My reason for doing this is because I have lots of younger relatives who use my laptop sometimes to play games. I want to make sure they are safe on the internet and not messing around with key settings.
Thanks in advance!

The Bookmarks toolbar order of links as to how they appeared as I had on my Windows 10 computer Firefox changed a few days ago from what I had long had, and now when I try to put in back in order I want, it keeps changing as well. I have Firefox version 68.0.1 on the WIN 10 device. Only other thing I've done in past few days is set up a new iPad from my old iPad, and I have/had Firefox on the iPad too. Is that iOS device somehow taking over my WIN 10 Firefox version? Can I recover the order I had? Can I make the WIN 10 version the master?

It took a bit of troubleshooting to isolate the cause of this. But apparently after my most recent Firefox update, when I click on the "Email Link" function, which I have in my overflow menu, the email itself does not pop up on top of the browser, instead it is hidden beneath it when it used to be on top.
I have done a couple of restores, tested all recent Windows updates, and upon a final restore and more or less disabling the Firefox updates, I believe the problem is with my most recent Firefox update. As long as I don't update, the email appears on top of the browser.
Short of disabling Firefox updates entirely, of which I wish i could do, I would accept responsibility for that, I can find no other workaround except to minimize the browser in order to address & send the email.
Thank you.

Suddenly I can not login to my bank account. Neither in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. In Firefox, a connection time out, the server is taking to long to respond appears all the time after several minutes waiting. I can login to others websites like ebay or facebook with no problem and I can login to my bank using my mobile app. It is just the bank and is aggravating. Contact bank tech support they said they don't have any problems with the webpage, yes they don't have but I have! I clear the history, the cache and the cookies but still have the same problem.

Preventing push notifications from auto disappearing in 4 seconds, win7 FF68.0.1 (64-bit) When notifications show up, they auto disappear in like 4 seconds, basically useless if your not staring at your screen constantly. I even reinstalled and updated to the latest FF version from the esr version just to get notifications working, now realize they aren't of much use if they auto disappear before i can read them ! ?

When I'm active in the RDP session, FF has never crashed. But when I exit the session and log in later, the Crash Reporter is reporting FF crashed. I've had 10 crashes this month. I have not tested in Safe Mode because I don't know how to test. I don't want to Refresh because I'll loose all my settings (hours or work). I was hoping someone could make sense of the crash report. Here's the three most recent submitted ones: bp-1dd0e0c0-985d-47c8-a017-ad9710190724 bp-1171b044-d27c-43d9-bd70-949720190722 bp-1d15d3c6-fa58-4f27-affa-0908a0190716

I have a twin core 2.0GHz laptop with 8 GB RAM, and opening big groups in Facebook makes CPU stick to 100% and at times downloading the page is frozen. It takes anything from a minute to 3 to completely load such pages. I know Facebook is bloatware and I should get a faster laptop.
I have tried every solution here and elsewhere, if you did too and found something not already here please respond. Thank you.
