With my advanced years I spend far too much time browsing Imgur and Reddit but I like doing so - they're relaxing, informative, sometimes provocative sites and they suit me well. However of late there have been problems. Firefox (since it's the only browser I can use, thanks to Firefox seemingly blocking others) seems to be disabling most NSFW pictures and videos and now won't even play GIF links on those two sites. (Weirdly enough however I can watch porn on other sites, so where's the problem?) Sure, this might be a European setting but I can find no other information to help me unlock this setting so any information will be appreciated. And yes, I've emptied all my cookies, etc. but to no avail.
Firefox
Weird word & text box shows up when logging in & out of my bank website: "lebowskilebowski". Does anybody know what this is all about?
I have cleared data and web content. Also disabled all extensions. and Restarted computer.

Whenever I close or restart Firefox, my formhistory file is deleted and a fresh one replaces it. I do not want this to happen. In the Privacy & Security section, I have the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box unchecked and the "use custom settings for history" selected. Is there some other setting I need to set to prevent that file from being deleted when FF closes? Thanks for any response. Gary

I have attempted to save various forum webpages, but the saved page ends short of the complete page. In order to save the entire page I must first save the page (as a complete webpage), then scroll down a bit, save again with a new name, scroll a bit further and save again, etc. Is there a way to REALLY save the complete page?

Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox because it wouldnt open.

I only have a few saved passwords for accounts and none of them work now What to do?

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.

I can't access many important features of websites in firefox, firefox private window, or Chrome. The only thing that loads properly is Chrome incognito. I think this has to do with security settings, but what I see doesn't match any of the articles on the support website. I don't even know what to turn off to load these sites properly. For example, I can't see the videos on tasty.co except for the homepage. Please help me manage my privacy settings.

For some specific reason I uninstalled Chrome - probably something to do with security, I guess but then I seemed to find the answer and it had nothing to do with Chrome. I've therefore tried to re-install it but failed. I can download it and save it but when I try to run and load it nothing happens. Any answers will be appreciated.

[ Windows 7, x64 - Firefox Quantum 69.0b14 ]
I have been trying to make a permanent modification of prefs.js, specifically changing browser.launcherprocess.enabled to false because it is incredibly annoying not being able to drag bookmarks to a folder (whatever the security implications of such), but I cannot make the change stick because it is overidden by xul.dll whenever I restart my machine.
I had hoped to re-code xul.dll, but this does not appeart to be possible, as it seems that xul.dll is proprietary; so I am wondering if anyone can suggest something (other than using a browser which does force options on you whether you like it or not) or if there is a legacy version of xul.dll (and associated signature file) that can be used instead?

I have been using this routing app for years in IE, creating routes to put onto TomTom or Garmin sat navs. For anyone not conversant with the software, from a pick list you can choose one of four mapping systems, OpenStreet, Google, TomTom or HERE [Garmin]. Recently went over to Firefox and it will not display the HERE [Garmin] maps. It loads the route waypoints but without the map. OpenStreet, Google and TomTom maps are okay. Also it does not display the icon pictures, just a box so you have to guess what you are selecting [Add waypoint etc]. As an experiment I installed Opera and it works fine in this. So for the time being I have a work around but have no wish to permanently have two browsers. If there is no solution I will unfortunately have to remove Firefox.

Hello, I've encountered a problem, where Firefox doesn't show reCaptcha and many other google scripts and tools. If I open the console, I can clearly see, it can't load pretty much any <script> from .js file, regardless the source. Off course, most often from one of the google's pages, such as gstatic.com, googlesyndication.com, google-analytics.com, etc. Warning is usually followed by "Invalid chrome URI: /", but not every time.
I've already tried these steps to resolve my issue, but without any success. - restarted FF in safe mode without extensions (no change) - disabled all blocking features included in FF (no change) - checked, that javascript itself isn't disabled (it isn't)
I've even tried instalation of Waterfox and Pale Moon without importing anything from FF. It doesn't work there too. On the other hand, Opera and IE works fine, but I don't like them.
Could you please help me a bit? BTW, I have FF with the exactly same settings on my laptop, which is also synced with my account, and it works just fine. Both computers run Win7.

Since a Firefox update a week or so ago, both my Window 10 laptop and window 7 desktop, who have synch'd bookmarks, show a multiplicity of repetitive entries that I did not bookmark, some are only websites that I visited but did not bookmark, others are sites that I bookmarked once, but are now repeated many times in the toolbar. How do I clear this and avoid the problem? Is it a setting issue? I made a printscreen, but cannot upload it as an image. Please send me an answer at adesouches@sbcglobal.net
