I have a file type which I always want to open with particular application. In options for that particular type I selected "always open with app x". In the download dialog file type is correctly selected (even with additional "default"), "always open with" is also checked but! The dialog is shown while the app should be opened immediately without showing the window.
How can I fix it so the desired is opened automatically without any additional window?

I have selected the option to show the bookmark toolbar in the right click menu in blank space, and also in the customize window. I have used this many times on its own and in combination with restarting and logging off. The bookmark toolbar will not display. The bookmark toolbar is available through the bookmark menu but I want to see it as a toolbar.
By the way the option to show/hide the menu bar works correctly.
I've disabled all plugins but no improvement.
Yesterday I accepted a Firefox update and it's now on 61.0.2 (64bit)
Today I did a malware scan and it found three PUPs but no improvement after removal.
Please help. Thanks
- Edit
I have just noticed that the bokmark toolbar shows on a private browsing window but not the normal window.

For normal browsing the session restore is fine as is, but as soon as anything starts going wrong it becomes completely worthless as by the time I have noticed something's up it has overwritten the normal backup session a few times over. As a result I have to restore back to the last upgrade or something stupid, it would be nice if I could tell session restore to keep additional backup files during normal operation, it's not like they take up much disk space. Ideally something like keeping one a day for a week and one each hour of the current day would be nice. Also the option to take them manually would be welcome too.
Lost my logins
after the last update, I lost all of my logins. Have been unable to create and save logins since then.

There's a lot of keyboard hotkeys in Gmail not working in my Firefox browser. The delete hotkey (#) works, contrary to some other people in the forums. Many others do not, such as (-) to mark a message as unimportant, (a) to respond to a message or (f) to forward a message.
I am using the newest FF 61 on Windows 10. Reinstalling the browser, using safemode or a new profile, even using Firefox on a different computer didn't solve the problem.
My Windows is set to German, but the hotkeys neither work with a German nor an English keyboard layouts.
Everything works fine using Internet Explorer or Edge though, so I suspect the problem to be Firefox-related.
In Linux, ps shows firefox running with a bunch of flags. Man entry for firefox doesn't have these flags.

If I do a ps -e, I find this stuff labeled "Web Content". I do a "ps -v" on the PID, and I get "firefox -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -intPrefs" and a whole bunch of stuff afterward. Naturally, I'm a bit curious, so I pull up the man page for firefox....which has no information for "-contentproc", "-childID", "-isForBrowser", or "-intPrefs". Staring at the man page a little longer, I notice it says "2011-02-09" across the bottom -- which would readily explain why any modern-ish CLI flags weren't covered.
I started doing searches relating to this. Just doing a search on "firefox -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -intPrefs" gets nearly 60 million results, none of which seem relevant. I start looking at the way mozilla's website distributes firefox for linux -- they recommend you check your distro's repos or helpfully provide a tarball ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/in ... efox-linux ). I looked through the tarball to see if I could just extract the man page and see if it might be more current, but it didn't appear to have a man page -- leading me to wonder just who comes up with man pages and where in the greater "upstream" things may have gone awry. Looking at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... documented , there is some indication that Mozilla may be the problem.
I'm running "Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit) / Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint / mint 1.0". My understanding is that is a slightly customized version of Ubuntu firefox, which is a slightly customized version of Debian firefox, which is a packaged version of the release from Mozilla. Each distro had to reroll the packages along the way. My suspicion is that man pages generally are authored by the originator (who best to know obscure flags?) and are merely passed along (if available) through the chain of distros, and that Mozilla just hasn't updated their linux documentation in a while.
How does one get a modern Linux manpage for Firefox? If you're looking at a list of processes, it helps to have a vague idea what they're doing. Maybe I could nice a few differently.....
BTW -- I'm now currently running 61.0.1 (64-bit), but the manpage is still dated 2011

When I start a new tab, the first time I click on anything or highlight anything, another tab or window starts up w/my last search results and it flashes. It happens EVERY TIME I first click on anything in the new tab, or highlight anything in the new tab. I can immediately close that tab or window, but a) it's annoying as hell, and b) I shouldn't have to go thru all of that.
It's NOT a feature, it's a BUG!
Why is it happening? How can I stop it from happening? Please answer ALL of my questions.

As the title says, when trying to work out why Firefox 61.0.x freezes (happened twice whilst writing this sentence), 'about:performance' reports that your own support site is a cause. Here's a paste of the information:
Full name: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1194555 (as window 8589934866).
Impact on framerate: 0 high-impacts, 45 medium-impact.
CPU usage: 0% (total 339737ms).

As you can see, this tab has only been opened for 222s (at time of pasting). I have no experienced a 'freeze' of the browser seven times.
The best way to describe this is Firefox completely freezing for ~two seconds or so including cursor, keyboard use, etc.
And now it's had a 'microfreeze' 11 times. I moved from Chrome after just under 10 years to come back to Firefox. This is the one issue that I can't (update, 12 times it's frozen now) put up with. I completely understand that Firefox is FOSS and support is done by volunteers, but I would like to help resolve this issue as I've seen it reported by (update, 13 times it's frozen) a number of people.
Last sentence: Whilst writing this, I shouldn't see my browser freeze 13 times (update 14 times - pressing the space bar caused another freeze). This is on your own website and doesn't occur elsewhere.
Sorry for the broken sentences. This freezing issue causes me to lose my train of thought. Here's a final paste from (update 15 times now...) about:performance

This is the second time since FF60 that my favicons have been lost.
I lost them all in the upgrade from 60 to 60.01 - got them all back over the course of a month - now lost again after the upgrade from 61.01 to 61.02.
I went through every solution I could find on this site, all of the Mozillazine prescriptions as well, from running in safe mode to a new profile and everything in between.
I want to keep this from happening everytime there is an upgrade, more importantly, why does this persist?
This time it is somewhat different, in that many of them haven't come back even after visiting the sites multiple times.
Thanks, in advance.

I installed version 61.0.2 on my Windows 10 machine as "Administrator." At the end of the installation process, a Firefox Browser window popped up. Everything looked good so I closed the browser and looked for the icon in the Start Menu (under Recently added, also under "Firefox" and "Mozilla Firefox") and toolbar. No icons.
I repeated the same installation, but this time, when the browser popped up, I right-clicked on the icon displayed in the toolbar and selected to "Pin to taskbar." I closed the browser and I am able to relaunch Firefox by clicking on the icon in the taskbar. Still no icons in the Start Menu.
I then logged out and back into my wife's account. I could not find any evidence of the installation. I decided to see what would happen if I tried to install it from her account. I downloaded the same installer and right clicked on it and selected "Run as Administrator." The same thing happened (after installation the browser popped up), only in her account, the icon displayed in the taskbar is generic (no Firefox image). I right-clicked on it and selected to "Pin to taskbar" then closed the browser. I tried to relaunch Firefox by clicking on the icon on the taskbar but Windows said something about the item referenced by the shortcut has moved.
How can I install Firefox for all users on our Windows 10 desktop?

I use Windows 10 Home 64-bit and Office 365. My default browser is Firefox.
When I read an email (Outlook) and click on a hypertext (URL) embedded in the message, nothing happens. I feel that this this (incorrect) behaviour started after 2018-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for X-64-based Systems KB4343909 was applied on Aug. 15th.
If I reset the Windows default for browsing to Internet Explorer and click on the hypertext, a new tab is opened in Internet Explorer correctly. Ditto for Edge.
I set the default back to Firefox and I have the problem back.
I'd be grateful for a solution.
Thanks Roger

I tried to sign in to Firefox on an old back up phone, android 5.1.1 a couple of days ago and Firefox would not accept my login information. I tried the reset password link twice and never did get an email. The email address is correct and and no, it did not go to spam. I opened up my laptop and had no problem signing in. Today, I again tried the exact same thing with my phone and had the same problem. Now however, my computer has decided to join my phone in it's mutiny. I double checked all of the email address information and the log in information, I take screen shots and email them to myself to avoid these situations. I think that this one is on Firefox, but short of deleting and starting over, I am not sure how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
