I am a NYT subscriber but can no longer access content behind the paywall on FireFox. Yet, it works fine on Chrome and Edge. When I am on the NYT homepage, it shows that I am logged in. When I click on an article on the home page, it loads it but a pop-up makes it blurry and says that I need to be a subscriber to see it. Yet, the top of the page shows that I am still logged as a subscriber. The problems occurs on my two notebooks. Both are running Windows 10. One has Norton as antivirus, the other has Windows Defender. To troubleshoot, I have turned off all FireFox "Content Blocking" and have cleaned up cookies and browsing history (twice), but it has not cleared the problem. I have reinstalled FireFox twice. I am also a subscriber to the Washington Post, and I have no problem reading it.

I've tried ordering them in the bookmark manager, doesn't make a difference. Tried signing out of other devices and doing it in one device, syncing then reconnecting. No difference.
I have 2 computers, 2 android devices.
At times the bookmarks seem to stay in order for a few hours. Other times it seems like it changes in a minute.

Scam sites tabs appear sometimes on two of my computers. Both are running Windows 10 1903 all updates applied with Firefox 69.0. I have other browsers and Linux sessions but I've never experienced such malware in these cases. Moreover, I have scanned my computer with McAfee Virus Scan (I bought this software), up to date, it says "no problem reported". Maybe I must document a new security exploit ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
For many years, the content management system that I have been using has worked just fine with previous versions of Firefox. To access the backend area for a client of mine to edit their own website I built for them, they would go to their website and hit Control-Y on any page of their website. This would bring up the login prompt window so they could login and start live editing their site. Now, when I hit Control-Y, nothing happens.
I saw a previous post that mentioned adjusting (allowing) keyboard shortcuts in the settings area. I did this but unfortunately, this didn't solve my issue.
Can someone tell me why this no longer works with Firefox and what the possible fix / workaround might be?
Thank you so much!!

when carrying out a search this white box appears that I think maybe an iframe. It cannot be removed and therefore I cannot click on any of the links in search results. I have added the Insect element to show why I think it is iframe related. This has only happened since the latest Firefox update a few weeks ago.

I have this issue with Firefox for a while now, where whatever webpage I may try to load (including www.google.com) will not load sometimes unless I close the tab and open it again and reinput the address or just refresh many times or sometimes it won't work unless I close and restart Firefox several times. At this time, I literally simply even gave up trying to open the Firefox support page in Firefox and installed Chrome for the first time in order to submit this ticket.
I have no special settings for Firefox (basically I use everything is it comes after a fresh install) and I have tried running it both with and without the two extensions I have installed with no change in how Firefox works (or doesn't really, lately)

What is the relevant timeout that would make it not-happen? I get this error at 1 site. When I try on a public (therefore Windoze) computer, it takes about 9 minutes to connect. Firefox on Linux quits before then, even though I have increased all my timeouts to > 10 minutes.

Morning all
FF69.0.1 on a new Win 10 Pro 64 bit machine.
I successfully installed Trusteer and the icon appeared ok in the address bar. It has now disappeared. I think I may have dragged it into oblivion with an inaccurate mouse click.
It's enabled as an Add on.
Any suggestions how to retrieve it?
Cheers

Every time I open firefox it asks me to sign in to my profile. When I do, I have lost all of my bookmarks etc.

I then go into about:profiles and have to delete multiple profiles that have appeared and set my original one to default, which works fine and i have all my bookmarks back. However as soon as I switch my macbook off and on again, I am back to square one and have to delete old profiles and set my old one to default. This is incredibly frustrating.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.
How do you permanently disable window dragging?

Left-clicking in the blank area of the menu bar engages window dragging behavior and I need this to stop. This behavior is already defined on my desktop by using a modifier key (ALT) and the default Firefox behavior circumvents this preference.
The recommended solution to alter my GTK-3 preferences via stylesheets does not work. The issue appears to be that XUL ignores the GTK window-dragging settings in preference to its own. I can verify correct behavior in other GTK-3 applications.
My current solution is editing the libxul.so library and modifying the -moz-window-dragging elements to prevent this behavior but this apparently disables HTML inspection. I have tried to follow guides related to custom XUL stylesheets but have not found a viable solution.
What is the correct way to disable this behavior?

One can select whole "words"/segments in the address field by double-click-dragging and then releasing; just like a regular selection is click-dragging and then releasing.
The bug is when you double-click-drag and then release the mouse button _outside of the address field_. The "mouse up" event fails to stop selecting text, it makes text blue like if you still held the button down.
To clarify, here's pseudo code of how to select some text (works):
1. Move cursor to the middle of the address. 2. Mouse button down. 3. Move cursor to the side, possibly outside of the address field. 4. Mouse button up.
Result: you selected half of the address, and can now e.g. copy it. However, pseudo code of what does NOT work:
1. Move cursor to the middle of the address. 2. Mouse button down, mouse button up, mouse button down. 3. Move cursor to the side, outside of the address field. 4. Mouse button up.
Result: as you move the cursor around, you are still in the process of changing the selection.
I'm on Firefox Developer edition `70.0b7 (64-bit)`.

Print Size changed in Firefox and the printed page comes out very small. I have to set it to fill the page every time and it still does not fill the page. I do not want to have to save a file first before printing. If I use Control Print from a selected email I get an Error message. It still shows my printer window. It also comes out small when I click the Print icon in an email window. I'm leaving Firefox if this can't be fixed. I shouldn't have to work this hard or have difficulties with print settings in a browser.
