When I open a NEW WINDOW, how can I have the cursor default to the URL/ADDRESS bar, thereby allowing me to type immediately without having to click the bar? I ONLY use blank home page and blank tabs. By the way, when I open a new tab the cursor is already in the URL/ADDRESS bar. I simply want the same thing for opening new windows.
Thank you for you time.

Unable to open Word and Excel documents from within SharePoint. This has never been an issue but now the error message is shown. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." The documents should either open in the browser or trigger the desktop app. Installing older versions hasn't fixed this.
Looking for solutions, thanks

Since one week there are some changes in the address bar. Suddenly there is a menu "page actions", and a magnification icon. And a reader view button.
What scares me is that these changes just suddenly happen, not with an upgrade. How can this happen? Does Firefox check somewhere online?
And they keep coming back! I have no control over them! That is what scares me.
While these are nice additions, I do not want them. I want to tab to the next filed directly.
I try to get rid of those things but no matter what I do they come back. How can I shut these down for good?
I have been a Firfox user since the beginning and I love it!
Any help would be appreciated.

Aged eyes are having trouble with size of thumbnails in pix choosers when called from inside of websites and apps. The thumbnails are too damn small.
When viewing native Apple Photos app, I can control the size. But when Photos is called through FF to add a pix, I can't tell a thing.

Discovered this when playing video in IMDb site.
When playing video in IMDb site the small blue rectangle that slides out when you hover over it is centred on the middle of the right hand edge of the video play back window. This is exactly where the right hand play next video white arrow > is situated as well. When you wish to play the next video it picks up Firefox new Picture in Picture toggle instead of the next video arrow >.

How to change the picture-in-picture default monitor?

71's new picture-in-picture feature could be useful, but I can't find any way to control which monitor the video is played on. It seems to always open on Windows' 1st monitor, which for me is almost always turned off. Of course Windows in it's infinite wisdom will not let you choose which monitor is number 1. This basically makes the feature useless. :( So, is there some setting somewhere in the about:config where I can control which monitor is default? I can't find an obvious one, at least. EDIT: I was wrong. It doesn't always open the video on the 1st monitor. It just always opens the video on the monitor to the left of the one the browser is on. :D

Firefox has always made me feel happy. But I am having significant problems with Mac OS version 71.0.
I am running a macOS Catalina v 10.15.1 on a 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5; 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4.
I am NOT having a performance issue. Instead, the browser is not responding as expected when given tasks.
1. It will not open a link in a new tab. The tab does not open and it's as if I never clicked on the menu item. Same with open in new window. 2. It will not open the default search engine from the URL bar. Instead, it responds as if I mistyped a URL. 3. It will not allow me to set a Default Search Engine. The option to do that in Preferences is a drop-down arrow that does nothing when clicked. 4. It will not allow me to Remove an add-on. Usually issues with Firefox are related to add-ons, but when I Remove an add-on, then restart Firefox, the add-on is still there. 5. (silly, minor issue) I'd like the tab bar to be dark, again. The white tabs are too bright! I know this is silly, but you asked...
I did run Firefox in safe mode and all of the same problems continue to occur. I did reinstall FF v. 71.0 and all of the same problems continue to occur.
Help. Please.

Presently when I open a new window Firefox opens it in the same tab. This causes new windows to hidden in, or hidden behind, a single tab on the far left side of the tab bar. I don't want this. I want to view all windows as separate tabs displayed left to right across the tab bar. There is probably simple preference setting to accomplish this but I can't find it. Maybe there is another setting or an extension that prevents what I want to do. Anyway I hope someone can help. Searching through my History trying to find a web page I want to return to is driving me crazy!
