I keep getting annoying popups claiming to be from Mozilla Firefox. clicking on one takes me to a malicious website. Dismissing them only results in new ones opening. I am attaching a sample of a screen showing the popups on the right. I scanned for viruses and was told my computer is clean.

How can I stop this from happening?

Hello support-type people,

I have a specific website that I have active in FireFox called myNoise.net. It allows me to generate background noise generators to cover-up the distracting noises from my neighbours when working at home on my desktop computer. The audio on the website worked the last time I opened Firefox ~2 July ... but today, when I opened the browser, the audio no longer works. I cannot get the website audio to load at all - I added the website to additional exception lists & shut down some content blocking extensions, but no joy. The website was already listed in multiple exception lists & I do not know or understand what change(s) occurred with the browser that would prevent this site from properly functioning - since it literally worked a week ago. I would appreciate any assistance and/or guidance with this issue, otherwise I will be eliminating Firefox as one of my browser options. I have provided a screenshot of the site that shows the perpetual "now loading" screen. Thank you.

I'm absolutely dying for this feature, it is a lifesaver in Vivaldi and Opera and other browsers, the extension options simply don't work the same as they only work when the website has finished loading and in case I've clicked on the wrong link I have to wait for it to load to go back or lose my train of thought whenever I am using this browser after a while because I'm used to the Rocker Gestures to go back and forward. Please implement this feature into the base browser, thank you very much

Why it disappeared? It was always there. I am logged in Pocket and tried to restart Firefox. Maybe it has to something do with recently added AI side panel?

so in the top right there is "Finish setup", i have marked all things, beside "Import previous browser"... the problem is.... what previous browser?... it is a fresh installed system, i have no file to import, and for whatever reason i can not skip it, which doesn't make sense... cuz firefox works without those imports... so why do i get forced to import them... i do not have anything... the annyoing part it... when i click on it, firefox says something "couldn't find files"... which sould be a deead giveaway that i don't have any, it it just should move one... i tired to disable it in about:config, i tried to edit ~/.mozilla, did not work... i just have that super annyoing text at the top, where i have zero change of removing.... why don't you just add a "skip button"... is taht to much to ask?

Corrupted Firefox PDF files

A few months ago, my Firefox browser became corrupted and I had to delete and re-install it. My browser now works, and I don't have any issues downloading new documents, but every document I'd downloaded on my first browser that was labelled a Firefox PDF document is now corrupted. I can work around it on my own computer, but if I try to email the documents to someone else they just get the corrupted file. I've tried converting the PDFs into a different type of document and then reconverting them to PDFs, but the PDF version is still corrupted. Is there any way to fix this? Or is my only option converting everything to a different type of document?

Fullscreen tab/address bar should overlay content instead of shrinking viewport (like Edge/Chrome)

When using Firefox in fullscreen mode (via F11) on Windows or Linux, moving the mouse to the top reveals the tab and address bar. but this causes the page content below to shrink temporarily.

In comparison, Chromium-based browsers handle this differently: their tab and address bars appear as overlays, without disturbing the layout or causing any viewport resize. This results in a more immersive and fluid fullscreen experience.

Please consider implementing a similar overlay behavior in Firefox's fullscreen mode, or at least providing a toggle via about:config to allow users to choose between current behavior and overlay-style tab reveal.
