Hi, I keep deleting my search engine list in settings as I just want one, 'DuckDuckGo' to be used. But after a day or two Firefox keep adding others to my list and all of a sudden I'm using Yahoo again. This is SO frustrating. Why won't it just stay as I need it to be?

Firefox won't remember my new Yahoo/Sky email pw. It always defaults to the old one, meaning I have to delete the old one and retype the new one every time. Have gone in to FF preferences and tried various things. Nothing works. Seems deleting and reinstalling ff is the only answer...or is it?

Gmail all of a sudden stopped uploading attachments, does anybody else have this problem and/or know how to fix it? It's happening when I try to drag/drop an image into an email, and even when I try to attach a file the traditional way via paperclip button. It doesn't show an error message, it just gets stuck in the midst of attaching.

I recently had to wipe my MacBook Air clean thus prompting me to download Firefox - version 70.01 (64-bit). I set up all of my work websites, history, passwords, emails, etc., but every time I close the browser and try to open it again, nothing is saved. I've tried several times and I am at a loss. Yes, I have created a Firefox account, and even this won't leave me logged in if I close the browser. I have to start over every time. Any advice?

I have tried to use custom history settings solution where you go to the preference page, onto the privacy and security tab, and then changing my history settings to custom settings and then clicking the "clear firefox history when it closes" and then also only turning cache and form & search history on to be cleared when closed.

I have installed Firefox 70.0.1 and I am testing our Lockwise. My questions are: 1. Does Lockwise store my credentials for websites locally (on my machine) or on a server? 2. If I later decide I don't like Lockwise and want to use another password manager, is there a means of exporting the credential data in a form that other password managers will understand?

Expected behaviour:

About once a week, my default browser search changes itself to Yahoo and I have to go into Preferences and manually change it back to Duck Duck Go. I have tried all the suggestions in the other answers to this question. I do not have any Yahoo extensions or anything suspicious. I have searched my entire computer for "Yahoo" and find nothing. I do not have a folder for Firefox, or any preferences file, only the application itself. I am on a Mac so Windows answers don't help me.
FireFox signing me out of every site when I restart my computer.

I've dealt with this over a month now and I'm sick of it. There is no reason for this. I manage multiple YouTube accounts and have since abandon three of them over this. It's not even worth it anymore. Why am I being signing out every time I restart my Mac? I scavenged through the settings and there's nothing on "mass sign me out of all websites when I update FireFox or restart my computer". I can kill/ force quit FF and everything is still signed in, it's only when either FF updates or I restart my computer. It's sickening and a burden, hopefully; this isn't some key security feature that Mozilla thought was a great idea. I need some easing and for someone to tell that this is an easy fix and not some b.s. bug that will never be patched.

I recently blocked reddit.com using the screen-time feature on my Mac OS. But I've noticed that when I am browsing certain sites, like retail sites, I will receive pop-up windows (as pictured) that say that firefox is trying to access a secure website.
I've deleted the browsing data related to this site; I've deleted the cookies also. I'm not sure what else to do to remedy this...
It's gotten so bad that I will get the pop-up with every click on certain sites. Every new page generates a new pop-up.
Please help!
Can't respond to dialog box before it disappears

When signing in to some websites, I see a dialog box that flashes once and disappears before I can read it or respond to it. If I have cleared my browser and reset permissions, for example, it shows up when signing in to Amazon.com. This is a standard FF dialog, looks like the 'save/don't save' password permissions dialog, one side of the box is white, one side blue, but it appears and disappears in considerably less than a second, before I can read much less respond to it.
Once I did catch a box like this--maybe the computer was slowed with something else that day--which was about my giving permission to allow Amazon.com to use fingerprinting information from my browser.
My question: can I slow down such dialogs so that I can read them and actually decided whether to give permission or not?

I've been using the FF 65 because FF didn't allowed the Simple Tab Groups add on for a while. Once FF allowed this add on again, I updated from 65 to 70. I completed the update and everything seems to work normal, but, when I restart the app: There is no master password, and all the saved logins are also gone. I know that FF has problems with the updates, so I copied my 65 version of FF an d also a copy of the profile. So I deleted the 70 and tried to update again, and the result is the same. It update's perfectly, but when I quit the app and open it again, master pass and logins are gone.
Does anyone knows what to do? Should I have to delete some file from the Profile?
Thanks in advance
