I've been using Firefox for DECADES and I'm damned if I know why. Every time there's an update to the Firefox browser, it gets worse: Less user-friendly, more problems. For example: With every update, my settings are completely reset. Why? Do you really imagine that users don't want to keep their settings when you do an update to the software????????????? Why do you do this?

How about the 'Secure Connection Failed' message. This is pure incompetence. It happens again and again and again. Why? Interestingly enough, every one of the sites that Firefox claims are insecure have no trouble loading in Chrome. Explain to all Firefox users why we should keep using Firefox. I want to watch.

I've a question about synchronization because I'm confused using it. I thought that my passwords saved in browser on PC will be send to Firefox server and when I sign in on my cellphone they're will be "download" to my phone. But it doesn't work like that. Maybe a month ago i changed a lot of passwords, saved them and synchronized with account using PC. Now, when I install Firefox and sign in to my account on my mobile, passwords (old versions) was send from my phone to the Firefox server and changes made on PC was overwritten by older versions from mobile. What's wrong with that?

Everytime there is a new build version (not incremental) of Firefox my places, favicons etc corrupt and i end up with a new profile created, trying to use my files in the new version just keeps on corrupting them when i rename them back again.

I'm currently on 114.02 and upon updating to 115 my profile is useless. I have to start all over again with a new profile

Surely this is not how its supposed to work. Start a new profile after every new build version update

Am i Alone?

Thanks

Why is my computer so SLOW to start up in the morning. I think it may have something to do with Firefox. I start the win7 then click on the firefox tab in order to go to my other sites. BUT firefox takes for ever to load?

I am continuing to get this 'firefox not responding' message while I am working around on the internet, then the computer stops working for a period of time (stalls out).

I leave a subject, then try to reopen firefox to look for something else, and even thought I think I have left firefox, then reoped it,...instead it tells me I now have 2 firefoxes opened because the other one never shut down??

I'm 80 years old and don't understand who ever is writing all this new software. I often wonder if they ever learned english??

How do I get firefox to the old look. No double spacing, background where address bar is to go back and no network like tabs for folders (back to actual yellow folders). Sorry for the image quality. Also this happens about once a year I tried to remove malware (which I had), but didn't work.

Customize the location of print headers and footers?

Hi. Is there a way to customize the order of Firefox headers and footers on printed pages (including print-to-pdf)?

I prefer the header to be url only, in the center. While the footer has page on left; title in the center, and date on the right.

This used to be easy to accomplish with print options in older versions, then -- as the print dialog changed (and actually improved a lot in most *other* ways) I had to turn to about:config modifications like those described in the 1/27/21 reply here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1323433. But now I can't seem to find any way to have any control over print headers besides "on" and "off."

One problem I find with having both page title and url on top is that these can be long, causing one or both to be truncated.

I'm using Firefox 115.3esr.

Firefox worked fine until the latest update 115.3esr, at time it slows to a crawl... I am now sick and tired of Mozilla and Firefox, they are about to get the boot - my style, I've used them since about version 2.

Looking in the task manager Mozilla makes it look a disgrace, at time it's hard to get a fix on some entry's because they bounce up and down.

Firefox.exe 45,24K Firefox.exe 3,16K Firefox.exe 27,484K Firefox.exe 7,392K Firefox.exe 7,344K Firefox.exe 15,735K Firefox.exe 7,320K Firefox.exe 169,932K, I round it off to about 250MB

Does these look about right? Why can't they just have one .exe? (Win 7 Pro x64)

Thanks Dave
