I have a Logitech M570 trackball attached to a Windows 10 PC. The Logitech SetPoint software allows users to customize the action of the buttons. The scroll wheel can also be clicked and have a function assigned to that click. I assigned "minimize" to it, and this works with every app and utility *except* Firefox. It even minimizes a Thunderbird window. I have the latest version of both Firefox and SetPoint. Anybody have an idea why this is happening and any way I can get it to work? Thank you!
A script error (gtm.js?id=GTM-WVZNLW) is fouling printing and crashing Firefox

When I try to print to my LAN-attached-by-ethernet Canon MF8350Cdn printer, a script error windows flashes on|off, the print job never makes it to the printer, Firefox closes and displays a Crash Report window. My work-around is printing to a PDF.
When I print to a PDF using PrimoPDF, a script error windows displays and waits for Y|N input, on clicking Yes, I am able to print to a PDF successfully. I can then print from Adobe Reader or Acrobat Standard to the same Canon printer successfully. That's as good as it gets.
Going to about:crashes reveals a couple of memory management issues, specifically in cnxdias2.dll (Canon printer file) and dpofeedb.dll (DigitalPersona Pro loaded by dpagent.exe?). I have diligently sent in the crash reports but have no clue what happens afterward.
Attached is a screen shot of the error.

In games like Counter Strike, for one to duck they have to press "crtl: key and to walk "w" key, the problem is that this key combination closes the tab.
Is there any "Game mode" in fifefox to disable this behavior?
Firefox used to have an option to edit shrtcut keys and this was removed. This is a very needed feature, not only for this case, but many others like people that want to write foreign characters.

Dear Mozilla team, the problem I just experienced was that both my Telegram Web and WhatsApp Web tabs kept crashing when a new message arrived or when I tried to play a video (the latter only tested with Telegram). After some investigation I noticed that Steam had helpfully written a 16GB log file into /tmp, leaving 0 bytes of space left over. I'm pretty sure that WhatsApp Web and Telegram Web both use local storage so maybe some part of that relies on there being space in /tmp? Now that I've cleared up /tmp, everything works fine again.
Here's one of the crash reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/142a1504-aa49-41e2-bcb7-0e9790200329
I'm a bit confused why it crashed in that Audio thread, but perhaps it's a case of "garbage in garbage out"?
Kind regards, Felix Weimer

Yes, just installed Smart Defrag Free from Advanced System Care (great product) AND it changed 2 important things;
1) changed default search engine to BNG (microsoft, you are NOT in the search engine biz, so go home) 2) switched off - save & open tabs from previous session - VERY bad as I have my fav 25 tab set for researching info
Why, Why, Why cannot FF LOCK DOWN my options settings ???????????????????

Do Firefox have an option or an add-on which can delete specified site cache on exit.

When I started to learn a bit about Javascript and Webrtc technology, I encountered the problem that Firefox does not support capturing the sound of the entire computer (while Chrome can do this) and does not support capturing the sound of the application (Chrome can't do this either, and it's very bad). To be more specific, the MediaDevices.getDisplayMedia() method does not have audio capture support. And Firefox doesn't support private fields (Chrome does). All this is described on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getDisplayMedia and https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Class_fields. It is very interesting, is this planned to be implemented in Firefox, and if so, when? It seems to me that this would be very useful for developers that trying to build some open free projects based on WebRTC Technology. Thank you in advance for your answer. And sorry for my english if I made a mistake somewhere.
Firefox 70 does not allow more than oneof multiple pages to print when using MacOS Catalina.

When I print the page at the link below on Firefox 70.0 on my Mac OS Catalina, (Portrait, 100% scaling, “shrink to fit page” NOT ticked), the result is one largely blank page (except for the article title), then *one page* of the article text (the first part), and then the third page has nothing bur footer material from beneath the article. I.e., most of the article text is missing from the printout. (Print Preview looks the same as what I described.)
This happens on pay sites i.e., New York Times, and on free sites. It does not happen on any site when I use Safari.
Why is this, and more importantly how can I make Firefox print the whole article?
I've spent hours researching a solution to this problem. Is abandoning Firefox the only solution?

Hi there, so i have the following problem I have by default the PDF viewer selected to Pre-visualise on Firefox (it opens a new tab with the file loaded just like its supposed to). But from time to time, sometimes 1 day sometimes 3 or 4, it just changes automatically to visualise using MIcrosoft Edge, and when this is the case instead of opening MIcrosoft Edge, it just keeps opening new blank tabs until i stop it.

Good afternoon!
After an update has occurred in my Debian 10, Firefox now recognizes only the US English keyboard layout. in short, I can not type anything with accent. My keyboard layout is "Brazilian Portugueses ABNT 2" and now I have to go looking for where the necessary keys are. And even finding the location of the keys still can not put the appropriate accents in words. For now, I only detected this problem in Firefox. Constantly, I use GEdit and Libreoffice and both work well. including, so that the text of this situation, I'm posting here, get all cute with sharp words and so on, had to do everything in GEdit, copy and paste here on this site.
For if I did not do so could not emphasize the words. I believe the problem is in Firefox, then I downloaded the latest version on the site yesterday (03/27/2020), the 74.0 version, but it doesn't works too. I configured Firefox language to Brazilian Portuguese, but it doesn't work tool.
The operating system is all right, because, as mentioned above, the other softwares are seeing the correct layout of the keyboard (Brazilian Portuguese ABNT 2). If anyone has any hint of what might be done to the Firefox pass to see the keyboard layout set in the operating system and can post here, will be of great help. Therefore, I did not want to install another browser.
Beforehand, thank you!

I am using both Container Tabs and Facebook Container.
I think the Container Tabs extension has automatically added Facebook as an extra container. However, I have read in the instructions that I should not use a container in both extensions(?).
Also, my facebook container and bar should technically appear blue when in Facebook. However, It is white, both the text Facebook in the address bar and the container bar color. What am I doing wrong?
PS: I tried uninstalling Multi Container tabs and only keep the FB container. Also then the fence and design remain white instead of blue.
General instructions are here, which I tried. I will add the description in the first comment. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ Still, Facebook container remains white, instead of blue as it should be. So I am not sure it is working.
