Facebook doesn't recognize me from visit to visit so I can't update my password, which possibly was included in a data breach. I've tried allowing cookies from Facebook. Didn't work. Thoughts?

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I have a shortcut which comes up with a blank icon. I've tried Google help to use a custom picture, but nothing worked. The complication is that my shortcut does not go to Xerox, it goes to their pension provider who has a different name. The shortcut works fine but it would be nice if I didn't have a blank icon.

My VPN used to work perfectly with my South African sites. Since I've downloaded the new Beta version of Firefox, things have become unstable, and the South African sites - mainly my dictionaries (which I use daily because I'm a translator) - don't work any more.

South Africa is one of the countries on the list, but when I open the VPN now, it says South Africa is unavailable, which had never been the case before.

Please help me sort it out. I can't take screenshots of the problem. When I go to the country list from the VPN, the dialogue box disappears.

Cześć społeczności!

Od kilku dni próbuję uzyskać dostęp do pewnej strony internetowej za pomocą przeglądarki Firefox na systemie Windows 7, ale niestety nie działa. Czy ktoś z Was korzysta z Windows 7 i ma zainstalowaną przeglądarkę Firefox?

Czy mógłbyś spróbować otworzyć tę stronę: https://konwerteryt.pl, aby sprawdzić, czy działa ona poprawnie, czy też pojawia się ten sam problem (np. „uszkodzony link" lub „nie można nawiązać połączenia z witryną")?

Będę bardzo wdzięczny za każdą informację zwrotną lub ewentualne rozwiązanie tego problemu. Z góry dziękuję za pomoc!

I am currently having a challenge browsing my offline videos downloaded on YouTube, and I noticed this since I recently updated my Mozilla browser. Formerly, even when my internet is down, I could open YouTube, and it would take me to my offline downloaded video, but now, when I am offline, it just shows Check your internet connection.

Hi, Both my wife and I have been using both Firefox for many, many years and only realised today that I did not have an account. I have two problems, both starting at the same time, (1) every time I use my computer (now both a desktop & a ASUS 17 laptop) my current tabs I don't have my original tabs which I rely on having when I have a project running, and (2) when I start my computer I have to go through the 'ticket the squares with bicycles in" to verify I'm human. If I close Firefox and very shortly open it again I don't get the check. For the first problem I've checked the Settings and they are as I have always had then to restart tabs that were present on shutdown. For the security check I've googled an explanation/fix but most times I get a suggestion to look at some setting which I can't find anywhere. Hopefully you can answer my problems. I synced with my iPhone 15, not too sure that I had any success as the prompts didn't line up with the displayed requests. My version of Firefox is 157.0 (64-bit) running on Windows 11 Version 25H2 (OS build 26.200.9457. I have updated to latest version Thank you, KenDiment

Whenever I open Firefox on my MacBook Air and attempt to search via Google, I receive the following message from Google with a Captcha request to verify that I am not a robot. "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending this request." This does not happen in Safari nor when i use Google on my iPad or iPhone - all of which use the same IP address. I have refreshed Firefox and it is on the latest version. This started about two weeks ago. There is no malicious software on my computer. I have cleared all cookies and browsing history. Help!

Hi,

I added some annotations to a PDF using Okular on CachyOS. When I open the PDF in Chromium’s built-in PDF viewer, the annotations appear in the correct positions, just as they do in Okular. I also checked using a few online PDF viewers, and the annotations display correctly there too.

However, when I open the PDF in Firefox, all the annotations appear in different positions than they do in Okular.

Hey,

When I was using Firefox version 156, the free Firefox VPN was active for me. However, after updating to version 157.0.1, the free VPN no longer appears, so I cannot use it.

Ever since the last update, I can no longer watch recordings on xfinity stream with Firefox. What happened? Can I fix it? I sometimes have to start watching programs late, but they wont play while recording. I can watch those same recordings when they are finished, but not while they are still recording. I can watch those same recordings while recording on Chrome and Safari so it's not an xfinity problem. But for some reason not on Firefox anymore Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks Ron
