Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut Command-Shift-Delete on MacBook so it doesn't open the clear cache dialogue box? I use this keyboard shortcut all the time to empty my trash; I've occasionally accidentally triggered it in Firefox when I was really just trying to empty my trash.

Please can you advice which way to resize the image of my bank card reader. Each time I open my account on line, the image of the card reader is so long (it seems in a landscape mode) that there is no more space for me to input security details. Is it possible for the image to be resized ie from landscape to portrait. I tried using Ctrl plus and Ctrl minus but it is a bit tricky. Thanks for your help.

I need help. I took the PC in to have a virus removed and the store removed AVG Anti-Virus and installed McAfee. When I got the PC home and connected, all the Firefox settings had been changed and the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey extensions were missing. I now get a message in settings claiming my browser is being managed by my organization, only I don't have an organization. This is my own computer and no one else uses it or has access to it. I reinstalled the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey, but now cannot get Greasemonkey scripts to download. I keep getting an error message. I've had both McAfee and Staples remote support looking at the problem, to no avail.

Hi, I have trouble in login. I set 2nd authentication with wrong app, and I didn't backup my recovery key. I also formatted my desktop, so I cannot find recovery key, didn't set firefox sync, and all of my device wasn't connect with my ID.

In this case, how I can recovery my ID...?

And if I cannot recovery my ID, can I delete addon that already being distributed.

This is specific to one website, but it is both new and unique to Firefox. https://playclassic.games/games/turn-based-strategy-dos-games-online/play-sid-meiers-colonization-online/play/

Prior to the last two <Firefox> updates (too many, too frequently!), no problem. Both keyboard and mouse were recognized. Since then, only the mouse, although everything's fine when I use Chrome.

Yes, I'm on the latest version, and have cleared caches and rebooted ... after every new version.

Hi! I had the find-it pro malware on my computer. It caused my new tab page to redirect from Firefox Home to find-it pro. I've since used Malwarebytes to remove the virus, but the redirect is still happening. It only happens when I have my new tab page set to Firefox Home, which makes me think that there's something still installed on Firefox that causes an automatic redirect. I don't see any extensions that would be causing it. Is there anything I can do that wouldn't involve refreshing my browser? I don't want to download all of my extensions again. Thanks!

My Firefox has intermittently (but many times a day) been been slow loading, often simply refusing to load at all. Clicking a link to open in a new tab often opens the tab but the tab says "New Tab" with an oscillating dot on the left. After a few minutes the dot stops and nothing displays. Often clicking something in Google News the new tab says "Opening " and then the Google URL. The page sometimes displays after a couple of minutes but sometimes never does.

I've disabled all my plugins except LastPass, but that doesn't help. My IT Support company hasn't been able to help. I tweeted Firefox and they suggested I DM them. I've done that, even sending a couple of illustrative screen videos. But no oikne has ever responded to my Twitter DM.

Is there any way to talk to a live person and share my screen to get some help?

If not, I'll need to abandon Firefox as my default browser after many, many years. It's become a real productivity-killer.

I was in my account on walmart.com earlier today. When I next tried to access it I was unable to get into the website using Firefox. Even if I simply type "walmart.com", it takes me to the log-in page but it doesn't allow me to log in. I can't even browse their website in Firefox. I restarted my computer (desktop), but that didn't help. I have always used Firefox to access Walmart. I tried my other browsers, and they work fine.

Hello,

I'm currently trying to log-in on Postman application. This aplication when log-in button is pressed a tab on firefox is open with the postman site log-in. The trouble comes when trying to re-open the tab on another container. It breaks the log-in. To resolve this I would be interesting to some way to choose an specific or default container for new or incoming tabs.

This is a duplicate problem of [[this post|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1237229]], however the chosen answer is silly and not practical to implement because it requires a setting change after every restart. Yeah I'll try to remember to do that.... NOT!

I have dom.webnotifications.enabled set to false but these annoying notifications still appear. They require user intervention to close. I don't fing want notifications about anything, much less that I screenshotted something. Please tell me how to get rid of this crap so I don't have to download a third party add-on.

A sync was forced and now my account has been disconnected. With it went my passwords. I cannot access my passwords because I don't recall my password. If I initiate a password change then, as the image warns, I may lose some, possibly of my passwords, etc. (Note: I did not have a master password setup).

If I wanted my browsers synced then I would have. To force me to sync is poor business practice. It's like going to McDonald's and ordering black coffee and what you get in black with sugar.

Now, before I leap to, gawd forbid, G___, what do you suggest I do??

Lastly, let me say that I don't understand why password syncing is supposed to allow a SSO across all Mozilla accounts. I'm signed in to Mozilla support, but then I'm not permitted to sign-in to my FF account. Unless you're going to tell me that Mozilla Support is in no way associated with FF, the rationale behind a SSO needs to change.

Well, I'm trying to make use of the option to delete cookies without deleting some that I allow, but apparently it's buggy. I want Firefox to clear cookies every time I close the browser, however, I manually added some exceptions and even then the browser deletes these exceptions when I close it, if I can add exceptions, it's so they won't be deleted when closing.

By default, search results from the "new tab" page don't open a new tab, because that page is meant to be opened prior to initiating a search. However, I prefer to have the new tab page pinned so that non pinned tabs can all be closed and have something to fall back to other than my pinned tabs.

Therefor, it would be nice to disable search results opening a new tab from this "new tab" page due to how I use it (which is a preference that is required for having pinned tabs since the home page does not open unless all tabs are closed).
