I need to save my downloads in various different folders - sometimes its a research paper, or music score, or an image and all this could go into folders for different projects. For this reason I always have "ask where to save file" enabled in the settings.

However, with that enabled, Firefox proposes some silly random folder instead of the last one used. Sometimes I have to save maybe a dozen pdfs in the same folder and Firefox proposes some rubbish random folder the first time, I change to the one I need, I save a couple of files into that folder and suddenly Firefox changes again the folder it proposes. This is so incredibly annoying. Why would they do that? But more importantly is there a way to make it just come up with the latest folder always instead? Why is this not something that can be changed directly where the "Ask where to save files" option is in the settings? Is there a good place to tell Firefox developers who utterly useless and time-wasting and annoying that behavior is?

I have Norton installed, which might be the problem, or maybe not. Computer is a MacBook Air, but the same problem happens on my desktop iMac, which also has Norton protection. Problem is trouble connecting almost every time I want to go to a new website. The internet IS working and computer IS connected to internet. But Server is 'not found' according to this frequent msg:


Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.google.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I use Amazon very frequently. Because I had a small problem yesterday I noticed there was a login name on my browser, which comes up automatically when I open Amazon. I have my normal login name using my email address, as well as my wife's email address for her login if she uses my machine. As well as those two there is also my old login with my previous email address and another which I do not recognize. I have tried clearing cache but that does not get rid of it. How do I remove the ones I do not want? I have another similar and related question. Whenever I fill out a form on the web, it automatically tries to enter the data for me. This used to be great and saved a lot of time and typing. However we mover from Florida to Illinois last year and Firefox is still loading my old Florida data. I then have to delete it and enter the current addresses etc. How do I get this brought up to date with my current address please?

Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 5567

CPU: Intel i5-7200U

Op Sys: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

RAM: 16GB

GPUs:

(1) Integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)

(2) AMD Radeon R7 M445


Soon after installing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS freshly into my laptop I followed standard configurations to set my graphics card as the primary display renderer for my machine.

This is done by setting the environment variable DRI_PRIME=1 in my .profile file and rebooting.

I also made the following settings to Firefox's about:config

         layers.acceleration.force-enabled               true
        gfx.webrender.all                                           true

After reboot I get a lot of flicker on Firefox and a lesser amount on Thunderbird. The image below flickers on and off the screen for 1-4 seconds.

No such flickering occurs on Chrome browser.

Is there any way to fix this flickering ?

Hello,

There has been an upgrade of Firefox ESR to version 128.3 on Debian 12 bookworm.

Before the update, I could play videos, now I can't.

I precise I can play videos on Chromium, or with the video players.

I have libavcodec58, libavcodec-extra59, ffmpeg 5.1.6 packages installed.

There is an error in the console: Media resource xxx.webm could not be decoded. Specified “type” attribute of “video/mp4” is not supported. Load of media resource xxx.mp4 failed.

This command seems to indicate the session is X11 and not Wayland: ``` loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 ```

hello. i have a problem with times displayed by firefox on my linux box. for some reason firefox seems to think that i'm in or near reykjavik in iceland, and i can't find out why.

the following ONLY applies to firefox on my linux box, but not to other browsers on the same machine or to firefox on android: - when i connect to my home assistant server and go into my personal settings, under time zone it offers me to options: server time zone (europe/london) which is correct or "local" time zone (atlantic/reykjavik) which is WRONG. i'm in the london timezone, so why does firefox think i'm in iceland? - in youtube, firefox tells me that live streams and premieres start an hour earlier than they actually do. like today there is a live stream that starts at 12:35 but firefox tells me it starts at 11:35. no bueno! so why does firefox do this? what setting got screwed up, and how can i fix it?

like i said above, only firefox on my linux box does this, in other browsers and on other platforms it does not happen. that tells me it is a firefox issue.

I am using Tor nowadays because I get a trojan horse or other possible threats, every time using Firefox. I use ClamTk on my HP computer with Linux Mint 21.1 installed.

These are the 3 files that usually turn up after a full scan with ClamTk:

Mozilla Firefox PUA.Win.Trojan.Xored-1 Mozilla Firefox PUA.Html.Exploit.CVE_2012_ Mozilla Firefox PUA.win.Exploit.CVE_2012_none

I found out when my website turned out to be hacked, so I installed the ClamTk virus scanner.

Just to let you know so you might find a solution.

Thanks, Frank
