I am using Firefox to open and read local PDF files on mac os. My problem is that Firefox opens a new window for every PDF file I open but I would like them to be opened in a new tab instead. I have already tried the following settings in about:config
browser.link.open_newwindow 3 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external 3 browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction 0
but that does not solve the problem. Interestingly, when I use the terminal to open a PDF with Firefox it does open in a new tab instead of a new window. Anyone has an idea how to fix that?

Clear specified cache on exit
Dear all,
Do Firefox have an option or an add-on which can delete specified site cache on exit.
Thanks

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 ???????????????????

Tab crash while there is no space in /tmp

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

I use 3 keyboard layouts. Sometimes in different windows must be different keyboard layouts. I had turned on this function in Windows 10 and it was working in FF tabs. Recently FF has stopped remembers keyboard layouts for each tabs. It is a big problem for me. How i can fix it? P.S. "intl.keyboard.per_window_layout - true" did not solution my problem. It works only for FF windows, not for tabs.

Just noticed that a web site I am working on is displaying the wrong format for the date. I am generating date string using Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString() (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleDateString). I have changed my preferred language in the browser preferences to be [en-NZ, en-GB, en]. Checking `navigator.language` returns "en-NZ", but running
``` date = new Date(); date.toLocaleDateString() ```
returns "3/29/2020" instead of the expected "29/03/2020" as returned by `date.toLocaleDateString('en-NZ')`
Is it just me or is this a bug?

Hi all, starting from a couple of week i notice that during normal web surfing my iMac late 2013 was hanging apparently without reason. Nor force quit or other application working, the mouse pointer was with the spinning color disk but i were unable to do nothig. The only solution was to switch off the iMac.
Start searching i point the fact that when this happen i was always whatching a youtube video, make other search point me to the browser hardware acceleration.
Now i'm using Firefox 74.0 (last release) and seem that when the hardware acceleration is enable after same minutes of youtube, the problems starts.
First signal is the other web pages that start loading but nothig is loaded after that all the system beacame unresponsive and the only solution is to switch off.
I had this problem either with catalina 10.15.3 and 10.15.4 (last version).
Very strange that a browser problem could hang the entire system.
Any suggestion?
Other with the same annoying problem?

I am running Firefox 74 on macOS 10.14 on three devices. Two of them are synced via Firefox Sync with each other; the other is not. I am encountering chronic profile corruption issues where the main symptoms include any or all of these: bookmarks can no longer be modified (added, deleted, synced); search engine changes are not persistent; preferences are not synced among synced devices. The only solution I have found to restore full functionality is to complete uninstall Firefox, including all profiles and preference files, reboot, reinstall a fresh download, and resync via Firefox Sync.
I'd love to get some help troubleshooting what could be causing the corruption in the first place. This issue doesn't affect any other browser I use (Brave, Edge Chromium, Safari). Obviously the easiest solution would be to switch to Brave or something, but I'd prefer to stay with Firefox if possible.
Potential causes I've explored: using no extensions; uninstalling Malwarebytes, Backblaze, Parallels (running Windows).
Trouble-shooting suggestions much appreciated.
