Why do I have to re-register with my banking website to remember my settings in order to not need two-factor authentication? I have selected in Preferences/settings for that website's cookies, etc, to be retained in Firefox.

How do I make the scroll bar always visible? The fact that you have to hover over it before it shows itself is maddening! Makes scrolling so much more difficult and frustrating. If this can't be adjusted I am done with mozilla after many many years of using it.

Is there a way to upgrade firefox on Linux Mint 19.1? Why has draconian Linux Mint banned this?

I'm putting off upgrading Linux as I have many hundreds of undocumented addons which will be lost and would take forever to attempt to remember how to re-install.

(in fact I might just switch to macos and try using homebrew).

It seems very harsh that upgrading Firefox has been prevented by linux mint for years now.

Yes Homebrew is perhaps the way forward! Life would be easier with just one O/S as I need Macos anyway for adobe lightroom.

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

Recently, Firefox has started closing all open tabs between browsing sessions. Not sure why this has happened. Firefox has been my preferred browser but this will force a change to Chrome or Edge.

Installer does not allow updating Firfox installation on D: drive. Automatically installs new instance on C: drive.

My version of Firefox is 108.0.1 -- I am running Windows 10 on a machine that Windows says is not capable of running Windows 11

My installation of Firefox resides on my D: drive. It uses quite a bit of space for cache and other things on my C: drive but it starts and runs on my D: drive.Now I am forced to update, but I can't get the installer to recognize an installation on the D: drive and update it. Instead it makes a new installation on my C: drive and I lose my appearance customizations, history and bookmarks.

I have never believed and cannot accept that an application absolutely MUST reside on the C: drive. It's lazy programming (something I used to do for a living). I can't believe Mozilla programmers wrote an installer that insists that Firefox must live there, so what am I missing? How do I tell the installer to find and update my existing application?

Thanks for your help. I feel as if I am missing something that ought to be obvious.
