Why did you change it so I have to authorize Adobe Flash everytime.
I play a game on FB that uses Flash Player and prior to the recent update you could allow it always for that game. It's very annoying.

recently, I've had a lot of problems accessing my content on xfinity. The initial problem was that my ID and account were not properly linked (an Xfinity problem) But now, when I click WATCH for any programs I'ver recorded, I get an error saying "there's a problem with DVR playback" ...and that's not the problem because it's working fine using Chrome and Edge
Xfinity doesn't seem to think this is a widespread problem and has been trying this and that, which has resulted on a solution and another problem at the same time. But, while the problems are inconsistently showing up using Chrome/Edge and now on my Android phone, perhaps someone has familiarity with the problem from a FF perspective.

Latest version of Firefox. The page becomes a mess. I move my cursor over a part of the page and it turns black. Often a section of the page repeats itself, over and over. I have to exit Firefox and the page works correctly for a while and start up with the same problem because the page becomes unusable.

Hi, Firefox 69.0.3, Win 10 home Firefox keeps on blocking popup windows that are an important part of a hyperlink. I've disabled "popup blocker", but the same thing happens randomly with many sites, I've tried enabling popups and adding an exception, but it doesn't help. This behavior is not seen with IE or Chrome. Please advise.

Firefox 69.03
There's probably no answer for this, but here goes.
It's not uncommon for me to try to determine if a particular addon is creating a problem.
Pre-Quantum there used to be an addon that allowed you to easily and quickly disable multiple addons, but currently it looks like the only way to do this is safe mode. But as far as I can see, you cant enable individual addons when in safe mode.
I hope I'm wrong, and there is a way to do this, because I would thinlk Mozilla wants us to be proactive and self sufficient in solving Firefox related problems.
There is such an obvious need for this, one might expect it would be built into Firefox, Not being able to implement this seemingly simple task can turn what should 10 minutes of diagnosing problems into hours.
As long as I am venting, one more thing. Why are we only given this skinny little box to compose our threads in, which user discomfort is only magnified by a hyper sensitive scroll mechanism?
If the designers are trying for whatever unknown logical reason to conserve space here, how about starting with the "huge" piece of unnecessary real estate that black panel occupies on the bottom of the page.

I was using FVD Speed Dial and all of a sudden I lost it months ago. When I click on it in extensions it says the following: "★★★ Firefox accidentally disabled all extensions, they will fix it soon ★★★ Firefox certificate expired and ALL add-ons got disabled! Please be patient, do NOT remove any add-ons, Firefox team is working on a fix." I use to use Super Start and I lost it so I got Speed Dial because Firefox recommended it, (which they still do) and now I can't get it. I would think after several months it should be fixed. That is what I used as my home page and I had things saved that I have lost. I would really appreciate some help.

I just did a reinstall of Firefox and it seems Mozilla was so kind as to include McAfee WebAdvisor in my add-ons. It seems to me that there is no way to rid my system of this monstrosity. Does anyone know how to purge Firefox of McAfee WebAdvisor? Now to be clear I have not activated it, I just want it out of my Ad-Ons. Please help.

Hi,
I've recently been getting emails from the German Mozilla site for some sort of account confirmation. I can't understand what they're saying because I can't read German (I only took up to German II in college and have since forgotten most of it - lol). Can I stop getting these emails? I've attached a screenshot of the email message.

Why does Scoreboard on Firefox web page default to MLB? This default is NOT relavent to me. Everytime I open up Firefox and look at the Scoreboard, it defaults to MLB . . . meaning something I yet cannot change on my own to reflect what I want when opening Firefox. I want to change it to either College Football (NCAAF) or NHL. This is a default that should be left to user, NOT anyone else. If this cannot be changed, then Scoreboard needs to be removed from the Firefox web page period!

I commonly simultaneously use different versions of Firefox. Like right now, I'm partially thru the process of building a new profile for Fx69, while switching back and forth with using Fx 68, with it's old cpmplete profile.
Sometimes I mistakenly open the old profile with Fx 69, and get this "You've launched a older version of Firefox", and I have no choice but to replace the profile, because I don't know how to "reverse" what happened.
Somehow, this profile gets "tagged" or "flagged", for want of a better term, and I'm thinking there must be way to get rid of whatever change was made in the profile to prompt the popup.

So I recently activated Firefox Synch and it messed with my existing options because I had them before or whatever. All my cookies and local saves got deleted which is just depressing, but that's not the point, I (probably) fixed that.
When I searched stuff, my search results used to have a green url below their text, which was very, very handy for me, and it was compatiable with WOT for displaying me if the site was safe or not before I enter so I could filter out suspicious results easily.
Now it shows me something else which does not work with wot and I do not like it. I couldn't find the option to change it. Screenshot of problem is attached. You can see Firefox displays the website name, icon and the location on the website (kinda), but I do not want that, I want to see the URL.

Preventing push notifications from auto disappearing in 4 seconds, win7 FF68.0.1 (64-bit) When notifications show up, they auto disappear in like 4 seconds, basically useless if your not staring at your screen constantly. I even reinstalled and updated to the latest FF version from the esr version just to get notifications working, now realize they aren't of much use if they auto disappear before i can read them ! ?

Hello. I'd just like to ask how I can transfer my browsing data from MS Edge Dev (which is chromium based, aka like chrome) to Firefox. When I go through the usual means, it's not there except the shit that is the original Edge and the joke which is Internet Explorer. I don't get chrome as an option as I don't use it, since Google is crap. Is there any way that I can do it, by importing files myself (and if so, which ones) or something? If there's no way to do it, at least I hope the Mozilla team see this to implement it, I doubt it's hard but I don't know.

I have run across a couple more websites that firefox 69.0.3 will no longer allow me to log into from my PC. I have turned off all my ad blockers and anti tracker plug-ins but sites that I used to be able to get to while using windows 7, I can no longer access with windows 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem? One of the websites I can no longer access is the T-Mobile site. I can access the T-Mobile site using Firefox from my phone, but not my PC. Thanks for any help. Rgds
