As mentioned Firefox, unlike Chrome, does not ask me where I want to download a file on my computer. I have it checked to "Always ask me where to download the file" and yet it still does not. Additionally when downloading PDFs it opens another tab as a preview for the document in question that I have just opened, but I do not want it to it is quite annoying. Thank you for your help.

Regarding the sponsored ads in the new tab screen, the help link states, "Mozilla is paid when users click on sponsored shortcuts."

I just wanted to know if Mozilla is paid for each click or for each unique click. If I click it 100 times on the same computer, does Mozilla get more income than if I were to only click it once?

Hi, I've been trying to transfer from Chrome to Firefox but have been experiencing a graphical error with primarily the toolbar in Google Docs. The places where icons should be denoting what each button does are empty - I do not have any extensions, plugins, or themes installed that would be causing this. I did install the Dark Reader extension to see if it would show icons when using it, which it did not. It actually is not exclusive to the toolbar, as drop-down menus that would normally have icons do not either. I tested in both Microsoft Edge and Chrome and this issue does not arise on either.

While Docs has been the primary issue, it persists across all Google Drive apps (Sheets, Slides, Drawings, and more). My version of Firefox is up to date and I am on an HP laptop running Windows 10. If anyone is able to help diagnose the issue at hand or direct me to another support thread where this issue has been resolved, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Macbook pro M1 macOS 13.2 (22D49)

Firefox crashes after granting permission to use my webcamera. I performed a complete refresh of profile and without installing any extensions or setting up Mozilla Sync I tested using this page https://webcamtests.com/ and everything works as expected.

I think installed my list of extensions that I use and tested again, everything worked.

I then enabled Mozilla Sync and tested again, immediate crash right after granting permissions with a TCC policy violation according to the crashreport.

I then tested in safemode with all extensions disabled and it still crashes. So it works before enabling Mozilla Sync, but not afterwards, so something in my sync is causing this EVEN when in safemode.

My router address with extensions is xx.xx.xx.xx/#/login. My previous router was xx.xx.xx.xx/cgi-bin/MANGA/index.cgi. When I type the IP address without anything after it, the URL entry changes from the new address to the old one every couple of seconds. I can't log into the router because it keeps changing. I disabled URL autocomplete, but it doesn't change it. Whenever I enter the address, it still completes with first the correct and then the incorrect URL.

How do I stop this? Thanks in advance.

Just when exactly are you going to repair all the damage you did to my computer a few days ago -- years of valuable work, gone!

And who the hell gave you the right to get into my computer -- my personal property -- delete all that work and replace it with ads from people that want to sell me stuff?

That's what the "upgraded" Firefox did to my computer, just days ago, and I want it FIXED!

If there's going to be a class action lawsuit out of this I will join in a heartbeat!

Now I want ANSWERS from you!!!!!

Jack Holloway p.s. how dare you send out a money-begging message to millions of folks who have been ruined by you?

CSP strikes again,

This morning I was trying to look at archive.org and the website wouldn't load and just show a blank white page (not my blank page theme which is dark)

I tried refreshing a few times, and it didn't work, then I opened developer tools and noticed every resource from website is blocked by CSP. I know probably this is a wrong configuration from archive.org developers causing the page to not load.

GET archive.org HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 03:36:25 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive vary: Accept-Encoding content-security-policy: base-uri 'self'; default-src *; img-src *; object-src 'none'; script-src https://archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://*.archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/offshoot_assets/ https://archive.org/includes/ https://*.archive.org/includes/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/includes/ https://archive.org/components/ https://*.archive.org/components/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/components/ https://archive.org/jw/ https://*.archive.org/jw/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/jw/ https://av.prod.archive.org/js/ https://esm.archive.org/ https://polyfill.archive.org/v3/polyfill.min.js 'sha256-CoX53XgCdkM1zegYEEpMUeYIZnv663inNm8bQv2VRbM='; style-src 'unsafe-inline' https://archive.org/ https://*.archive.org/ https://offshoot.prod.archive.org/; Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15724800 Expires: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 03:51:25 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=900 Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade X-Content-Encoding-Over-Network: gzip

from start CSP bring nothing for me other than trouble. In fact I had so much trouble with it, that when a website doesn't load or loads incomplete, I immediately hit F12 to see if anything is blocked by CSP.

I know some very knowledgeable people will come and tell me you will die instantly or will turn to stone if you disable CSP, but I'm readly fed up with this thing that is controled by a header that can be changed with a proxy or even extension which then controls how browser will load a website. just the same way that some web developers use User-agent and HTTP-Referer as a security measure in their website.

I was able to disable CSP in firefox 98 and browse the website. but can't do it with firefox 100 and above (109 currently)

I tried removing the CSP header with extension, but I can remove any header I want but not CSP

Apparently someone in firefox team is obsessed with removing user modifiable features and making it harder and harder everyday to achieve the same functionality (e.g. renaming about:config settings, disabling or removing them) or in other words, pushing their will on their end users on how they should use their browser.

I'm a software developer, I can recompile firefox, and I want CSP and in fact any behavior that relies on a HTTP-header to be gone, but I'm really busy with my own work. and don't have time to read through entire code of the firefox.

I would like to ask if someone can direct me to the part of mozilla code that contains CSP so I can remove it and compile the thing again so I have a browser that doesn't block me from what I like to do.

So I wanted to read PDFs trough firefox with a dark theme, looked up how to do so online, and people say to change the "about:config" option "pdfjs.viewerCssTheme" to "2" instead of "0", I did that, tried opening a PDF, nothing happend, it was still black text on white backgrounds. Tried closing firefox, reopened the pdf, nothing happened, still white backgrounds. Tried to check if it might have to do with that specific pdf file's config, created my own PDF file from a word document, tried to open it, still white backgrounds. Tried disabling extensions, (which I use four of, UBlock Origin, SponsporBlock, Return Youtube Dislike and Translate this page), didn't work. Tried enabling the option on my laptop, didn't work. Tried a bunch of other stuff and it still won't work. My Firefox version is 109 and I'm using Windows 10 I also don't want to use the console/file edit thing with grayscale(1) invertcolor(1) or whatever it was since it also reverses the colors of images instead of just the backgrounda nd text color.

Good day, has anybody an idea if and what addon could manage for me redefinition of mouse behaviour. Particularly in my case I want to use middle (wheel) button single click over any text input to perform clipboard paste (but everywhere else the button behaves normally). I had this feature integrated into mouse gestures add on which is no more compatible.

I asked this question yesterday, but I have a bit more detail that I can add. I use Firefox as my primary browser, and I use a VPN to protect against hackers. I use Godaddy to host a website that I manage, and I need to log into my Godaddy account to make changes to my website.

When I try to log into my Godaddy account, I receive an error message stating that I am not authorized to use this (the Godaddy?) server. I have talked to Godaddy about this problem, and they say that their server will not connect to any other server unless they can establish a secure connection. Apparently, when I try to log into my Godaddy account, the Godaddy server does not see my computer as being part of a secure server, so it will not allow me to connect to Godaddy.

Godaddy suggested turning off my VPN before I try to log into my Godaddy account, and this has not helped. I get a new error message stating that their is something unusual about my (Firefox) browser. Can anyone help solve this problem? Thanks.
