When opening links from history in a new tab or new window, or with the middle mouse button, the browser immediately switches to it, which should happen only with left mouse clicks. Another problem is the fact if you're deep down the list, regardless of how you open a link, you go back to the beginning of the list because the view is reset. Try looking for something deep down, miss click or guess wrong, and see how infuriating that is. There should also be an option to make it so mouse left clicks on history links open a link immediately **on another tab/window**. Currently, it reuses the current tab/window.
*What can I do to prevent this from happening again?* Firefox suddenly today (4/2/2020) decides to go missing from my Windows 10 Start Menu.

I've been using Firefox as my default web browser on Windows 10 for a while now, and I've become used to launching it both from the Task Bar and the Start Menu (depends on if I'm currently wielding the keyboard or the mouse at the time I want to launch Firefox).
As of today, 4/2/2020, the Start Menu entry has completely disappeared. There is no "Mozilla" folder in the start menu nor is there anything filed under "F" for Firefox.
I tried to remedy this issue by right clicking my Firefox task bar shortcut and clicking "Pin to Start Menu" as a way to force my start menu to recognize Firefox when I start typing "Firefox" after pressing the Windows key.
What results instead is this god awful Hex number (see attached screenshot) that reads "W~E7CF176E110C211B". Clicking on this shortcut does absolutely nothing. Pretty sure I'm not supposed to see that, and that this is a bug that shouldn't be happening.
To make sure I'm not crazy, I again right clicked on my working Firefox task bar shortcut, and clicked on "Properties" (see attached screenshot). Nothing looks unusual there, so now I'm just at a loss as to **why** this happened, **how** it happened, and **What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future?**
I do not have this problem with any other application. No other application has just decided to disappear themselves from my start menu. No other application gives me some bullshit hex number in place of an actual app shortcut to an executable binary file that lives in Program Files (x86). I'd be a little more understanding if it was located in some weird ProgramData folder, but I'm just super confused as to why this happened, and I'm frustrated that I have to stop what I was doing to write this up.
That being said, I genuinely appreciate any preventative help that can be done to prevent this from happening in the future, even if I may be slow to respond (I will try really hard to not be slow to respond). Please help me from my nagging brain that is now considering moving back to Chrome so I can continue typing in the application name to launch from Start Menu as I am able to do with literally every other program.

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?

I'm running Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu 74.0
For some reason it is running really, really slow. Loading a page like Youtube takes more than 10 seconds. At first I thought it was an internet problem, however speed tests shows 60-70Mbps download speed. I tried using Chrome and it is considerable faster tan Firefox. (For example, Chrome takes 2-3 seconds loading Youtube). I tried restarting Firefox, disabling all extensions, but it didn't help.
As last choice I decided to remove Firefox, then I deleted the /.Mozilla folder. I rebooted my pc and then installed a new fresh Firefox. It didn't help at all. I don't have any idea of why is this happening, I don't use any proxy or firewall and I'm not used to Chrome.
Thanks for your help in advice.

I have applied the suggested fix for stopping the master password from popping up every time I go to a new site but it keeps happening. I open firefox with google search. I start to enter a search but the master password box pops up and I find I am typing my search query in the M P box. If I cancel it it just pops up again. This is before I even get to any site. When there it will come up again when following a link in that site and so on. This is very annoying and I am considering dumping firefox because of it. Please don't tell me to do the M password replacement procedure IT DOES NOT WORK. I have also tried editing the registry but that failed also. Robert.

Everytime I try to use the search function (Ctrl+F) my firefox hangs for like 15 seconds, and then says "not responding", after the 15 seconds I can continue using firefox and even the search function, but having to wait 15 seconds everytime really is a pain. I already tried disabling hardware accel. with no luck. I already tried disabling ALL my extensions and addons/plugins manually, but didn't work either, first tried disabling them 1 by 1, and then disabling all at once, none worked.
With safe mode the problem is gone, so that suggest that it is something I cannot change manually, or a plugin that I cannot disable manually.
Any suggestions? Thanks beforehand

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.
