I SUBSCRIBE TO TOTAL AD BLOCK BUT I ONLY USE FIREFOX AND DO NOT SEE HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE APP.

PLEASE ADVISE THANK YOU DAVID VOSBEIN [edited phone# from community forum]

Hi I created my own proxy that has the normal login screen but it also uses a 2fa feature which I cant get to work with firefox, I was wondering if you just do not have another pop up after the login screen or is my proxy the issue.

I recently updated my browser, and I've noticed that while listening to music on YouTube, for some reason, the volume slider within the player also controls the stream volume within KDE Plasma's volume mixer, making for a much more frustrating experience. Now the volume resets to what was set on YOUTUBE rather than sticking to what was set in the VOLUME MIXER every time a new video plays or any time the page refreshes. This means that the volume gets reset every. single. time. The issue with this is not only that YouTube's volume slider isn't as accurate as KDE Plasma's, but also that a media player in a browser shouldn't be controlling its own system volume within the mixer because it causes issues and frustrations like these.

How do I separate player and stream volume?

Here's my inxi so you can see what I'm using/what I'm on: ```text System:

Hi Win10 PC fully up to date. Changed my printer from a Xerox to an HP laser. In the control panel, set the HP as the default printer. MS Office prints on the HP without prompting. Firefox (134.0.2) always defaults to the Xerox. The HP is available in the drop down box. Restarting the PC or reloading Firefox makes no difference, Firefox always defaults to the (non existent) Xerox. MS Edge defaults to the HP. Any ideas? Regards - Andrew

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I am trying to find an official Adobe Acrobat extension for Firefox but I can't find one?

Does one exist? According to Adobe there is?

Thanks

Jonathan.

Hello, i am wondering about the blocking of extensions on "Quarantined Domains".

Is there a list of them available to explore? Who maintains this list? Can some fishy website admin add his domain to it to block some 3rd party security addons? How can i whitelist a fishy extension on only 1 blocked site without losing the protection?

The faq articles are not really helpful for this.

Back in November (2024) I began noticing an absorbent number of cookies in “Manage Cookies and Site Data” (MCSD). Considering I delete cookies with fair regularity daily, this is unusual. The amount that I am seeing now, is around 190 advertising/Tracking cookies even when I only visit one or two sites. If I remove them and recycle the page and return to MCSD they are all back in storage in only those few seconds. This process can go on forever. This occurs even when I disconnect from the internet. How is this possible, where are these companies storing this stuff on my computer and how do I remove them and/or stop them from self populating? I have a Dell 64 something, running windows 10 I have Ad Blocker and Privacy Badger, along with a few others that are not security based. See Attachments

Thanks

I want to install a old version 52.3.0 X64 on my computer for developing web app. (the application is run on 52.3.0 X64). But I can not find the installation. Is there download center for the firefox old version?

I’m using Firefox version 134.0.2 in MacOS 15.2 with 1Password version 8.10.56 for Mac. The 1Password extension is enabled and the app is open and unlocked but each time I open a site requiring login and password I get a pop-up telling me to, “Press the 1Password icon in your browser’s toolbar to unlock.” This requires me to unlock 1Password again to enter the site’s login/password combination. Not sure if this is a Firefox or 1Password issue but it’s annoying. Any thoughts on a resolution? Thanks

I seem to have found a fake Firefox phishing website. The content of the website is in Chinese and it is included in Google search.

The fake websites are cn-firefox.com and www.firefsioix.com, I hope the community members can confirm the website information.

Why are my 3 rows of Home page tabs now so small? I can go to about:config, search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b and change to false and tabs are back to large. However, they soon revert back to very small. How can I keep them large?
