I downloaded a PDF and used Firefox to view the file. I'm trying to find key words in the PDF and I always get phrase not found. As a test I inputted a word I found in the document but find in page stated phrase not found. What am I doing wrong? I remember that I have used that feature in the past and it worked.

Instructions begin with "Click on the three horizontal lines and select OPTIONS." My updated version of Firefox does not have OPTIONS. Reinstalling Firefox did not solve the problem. In OPTIONS, PDF is supposed to be in the list. Opening a pdf file in Firefox did not cause an edit option to appear.

In previous versions of Firefox (up to version 133), it was possible to automatically trigger printing of a PDF file by loading it into an iframe from a sandboxed iframe and call print. However, starting with version 134, this no longer works.

Is there any other way to automatically trigger the print dialog for a PDF file in Firefox, similar to how it can be done in Chrome/Edge (e.g., by opening the PDF in a new window and directly triggering the print dialog without additional button clicks)?

Firefox 134.0.2

Hi!

I was shocked when I recently visited a website of a company that offers IDEs. I've downloaded one of the IDEs a couple of weeks ago and now that I've came back to the website looking for plugins, the website still "knew" which version of the IDE I had downloaded because it gave me warnings about plugins not compatible with my IDE version. Now: My privacy settings in Firefox are "strict", the option "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is checked and I've closed Firefox several times in the meantime. Still, the website has information about my identity.

I would have expected that with these settings something like what I've described wouldn't happen. I must say, I'm quite disappointed. Is there anything else that I can do within Firefox to enhance my privacy?

Plugins that I've installed: CanvasBlocker Cookie Autodelete Decentraleyes Forget Me Not NoScript

I have a requirement where instead of showing the 404 error or 503 error on screen, I want to display a blank screen. I have already tried to set the following configs to false -

security.insecure_connection_text.enabled security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled security.insecure_connection_text.pbmode.enabled browser.ssl_override_behavior security.ssl.errorReporting.automatic security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.tls.version.min

Is there anymore steps to do or any userChrome.css script is required.

PS : I cannot use any extension or addon to do that

The Help is recommending clearing the startup cache, but I don't know what that is so I can't decide if it's something I want to do. Is it the same place that stores all my cookies and other saved material, or is it something different? If it's different, what does it store and why would clearing it be useful?

When loading certain pages (on web application) the motion icon starts and after several seconds it changes to the sand clock icon despite the setting described in 'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1303416' being done - ui.prefersReducedMotion set to 'false'. My work is all done in this web app and it is very important to see when data is being uploaded (grey/black dots) and when the page is supposedly being refreshed with updated data being downloaded (blue/green dots). Why is the preference being ignored and how to fix it so you always get the motion?

Whenever I try to open a link, I get: Get an app to open this 'microsoft-edge' link

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?

How can i download a pdf of my passwords. I think i need to set up a lock screen first. Please give precise instructions how to accomplish both these tasks. Im having great difficulty signing in and out of sites so until i figure out how and why things have changed i need a list of passwords. My device is currently unlocked. I have trouble finding my way back to my questions here. Why doesnt firefox have a history function? Sometimes it does but its not recent. I put all these questions together because its too difficult finding my way back to every individual question. I have a hundred questions about firefox so many that its daunting to consider as it would take me days to do and its time i dont have. Somehow my firefox account has gotten too confusing and complex

I have have just come across this information and have no idea what add on it is referring to. I'm not one that uses much in the way off add ons. Here I am, 79 next month. I have only my desktop PC. I don't own/use a mobile phone, ipad or any other devices. I use my PC for emails and using the net for research, general information, buying products, ecards etc. I play a couple of games, Lovatts puzzles (3 games), jigzone, word wipe from Washington Post. If I have taken on/used an add on it was with limited knowledge and it certainly was not my intention to cause any problem. Does the block also mean that I am not protected from viruses or malware etc? Please let me know the outcome of your decision. Thanking you in advance. Kind regards, Rhonda Macrae. rhondamacrae46@gmail.com

When I am working with several open applications I sometimes need to slide the browser window over to I can see both open apps at once. Now when i pull the browser window partially off screen to the right it bounces back at full size. This is frustrating and time consuming to resize again. is there a setting to turn this feature off?
