Not sure if this is a Linux or Firefox issue, but here goes. In the past when uploading pictures for instance in Gmail I got a menu showing places EG pictures, video's etc. Example - home - pictures- cats - black cats - list of jpg's, click attach. When attaching another pic from the same folder etc it used to default to the same folder location with the list of jpg's.

With the last few FF updates that isn't the case any more, when next attaching a pic file I now have to start again from scratch EG home, pics, cats, black cats instead of click attach straight to list of jpg's in back cats.

Is there anyway I can configure FF back to the old setting please?

Running Windows 11 on Dell DB16250 Laptop. Using Firefox, updated. I want to use Firefox and eliminate Edge always. Is there a way to remove Edge from being default for ALL file types? --- Some types, like .pdf, I will associate with in that case Adobe Acrobat (of course). Others I may leave with NO association. If I chance on one of those files I'll select then. I do not want Edge to be triggered by ANY file type. --- Can I wipe Edge from all of the type associations Microsoft ties to Edge in some general way? Or must I go through the list and un-Edge them one by one? --- Thank you.

Firefox on macos starts on wrong Mission Control Desktop (a.k.a. Space)

Issue: When Firefox starts after a system reboot, it starts on the incorrect desktop. This seems to be off by one; that is, I have Firefox assigned to Desktop 3 (using the Dock icon's Options menu). Under normal operation, it starts on Desktop 3, but after a reboot, it seems to start on (more recently) Desktop 2 or (earlier) Desktop 4. Unsure about what causes it to prefer 2 vs. 4.

This seems to happen after I've shut down (quit Firefox normally, shut down without reopening windows on login, power goes off, power on, log in, then click on the Firefox icon in the Dock) or after a system update (which reopens windows on login for me after rebooting and installing the update). It does not seem to happen after a Firefox update or after quitting Firefox normally and then restarting it from the Dock icon right away.

Pretty irritating, as I have major applications assigned to specific desktops, and Firefox is the only one that seems to forget which desktop it should be on.

Details:

Firefox 150.0.3 (aarch64):

  • Settings > General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs > TRUE (checked)

macos 26.5 (25F71) Tahoe:

  • Settings > Desktop and Dock > Mission Control:
  • ---> Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use: FALSE
  • ---> ...switch to a Space with open windows for that application: TRUE
  • ---> Group windows by application: TRUE
  • ---> Displays have separate Spaces: TRUE
  • Dock > Firefox application icon > [Right Click] > Options > Assign To > This Desktop (i.e., Desktop 3)
  • Apple Menu > Shutdown > Reopen windows when logging in: FALSE

I used to paste a text selection (temporary clipboard) into the URL bar and it would replace the loaded text/url. Now, it inserts it to the existing content at the point of the cursor. Why does it do it now? Is this an option i have to disable or is it a bug?

This is on v151 now
