I know websites are storing permanent data in profile/storage/default but I wanna change the location to another directory. I don't wanna disable the dom storage, I just want it all to go to another directory of my choice! How do I do that? I checked everything related to dom.storage in about:config but couldn't find any mention of the location. Will it work if I simply add a new value "dom.storage.targetdir"?

PDF behaviour is pretty arbitrary.

In my settings I have 'Always Ask' for PDFs and 'Always ask' for Downloads: where to save files.

And yet - if I export a file from Google Docs as PDF (an action which I would expect to trigger an 'always ask' even if that were not the setting I had already set) - it does not ask; it just downloads to my home directory (which is not a directory specified anywhere as a preference for where to download to).

I am aware that this is probably Google's being creepy and exploiting some setting or lack of setting, but firefox should protect me against this and when multiple settings are set to 'always ask', firefox should, y'know, maybe ... ask.

Seriously - why is firefox making it the user's job to work out what weird exceptions to an explicit policy should be dealt with as a separate case? If the download and save routines are activated then, if the settings are set to 'ask' - it should [profanity] ASK.

i've tried everything, safe/troubleshoot mode, manually uninstalling and even refreshing firefox in normal or safe mode, the extension has the "Can't be removed" button the profile directory (/home/xxx/.mozilla/firefox/v6kxe18l.default-release-1648663005215/ for me) don't have a extension folder after refreshing firefox, when booting up i immediately get the extension reinstalled

This is clearely skooky behavior in my opinion and I really don't want this extension

When I try to change my password, it makes me log in, which I do using my old password. Then I get to the change password screen, enter my old password, my new password, and my new password again to confirm. But it won't let me save it because it says "incorrect password." I know it's not the incorrect password, because I just used it to log in. I use KeePass, I copy the password, it is impossible to misprint.

When I click on the Firefox icon the app opens in which ever desktop it opened in last, not in the one the user (me that is) is currently in. Annoying but not critical.

This problem appeared after I upgraded to LM 20.3 and the latest FF in Flatpak so I have no idea if the problem is LM or FF or both.

I run firefox 98.02 on several devices, on linux (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, Ubuntu Studio) and at some point either the windows devices which still have send tab to device menu item are not sending or the linux device is not receiving the tab. The latter is probable as the menu item is no longer in the menu. Is there an "about:config" setting to get that back? Thanks.

In Firefox Settings (General) there is a section 'applications' that allows you to [[choose an action based on file types|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_changing-download-actions]]; such as PDF (open in FF, save, etc)

This menu is not functional for me. When I click on the down arrow to change the option, it should open a list - but nothing happens.

I tried rebooting & restarting FF, but the issue remains.

I am using FF 98 on Linux Manjaro.

I am using Firefox 98.0(64 bit) on Ubuntu 18.04 and it crashes sometimes while i am browsing. I have downloaded the tar file from the official site and then installed it manually on my system. To debug this this time i opened the firefox from terminal and waited for it to crash. After some time while i was browsing, it suddenly crashed as i expected. The output that i got after the crash on the terminal was: ``` user@user-Inspiron-xxxx:~$ /usr/lib/firefox/./firefox

What is the cause of this crash and how to solve it. After the crash i also typed: about:crashes on the address bar of the browser but when i pressed enter, i got a blank page on the top which No crash reports have been submitted was written.

I have noticed that sometimes the firefox browser crashes when a video is playing. This has happened multiple times now. To debug the issue, this time i started the browser using terminal so that when the browser crash i will see the message on the terminal. This time i was watching a youtube video. And while the video was playing the browser first hangs(meaning the screen/video freezes and browser doesn't respond to any clicks or anything) for first 2-3 minutes and then it crashes. This time since i had started the firefox from terminal, after the crash i got the following printed out on the terminal: ``` user@user-Inspiron-xxxx:~$ /usr/lib/firefox/./firefox Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. CPU time limit exceeded (core dumped) ``` I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox version 98.0(64 bit). I have downloaded the tar file of this version from Mozilla's official site and then installed it manually on my machine. Can someone help me solve the issue and also tell me the reason for this crash.

When ever I start firefox, I receive two lines at the bottom of the home page - the first is a news feed (from Mozilla) and the second is a 'contributors' shout out. I've unchecked all the appropriate boxes in settings, and still no help. I've gone into about:config and ensured they are removed.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
