Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

"Email masks are masked, or private, email addresses that forward messages to your true email address." Question: Does Relay simply consider my login email for my Mozilla account to be my "true email address"? I have more than one email address. Can I have messages to my email mask forwarded to a different address than that used for my Mozilla account?

Hello,

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and really enjoy using the Fullscreen Mode (F11) while browing Websites, since I hide my taskbar in Windows, hiding the Browsers own taskbar makes for a really immersive browsing experience.

Only problem I've happend upon is, that when Fullscreen Mode is enabled, my automatically hiding Taskbar does not want to appear when being moused over. This is logical behavior and I understand why it does that, but is there some way to change this behavior in the backend of the software?

Thank you very in advance to anyone who answers.

Kind Regards

I have downloaded and installed the latest update for Firefox. v142.0 64 bit. It is not playing well with Facebook on my Windows 10 pro 64 bit machine. Slow or no response to mouse clicks. I have closed Firefox and reloaded after a reboot. No problem when using a different browser. I have not discovered issues with the several other platforms I visit.

Looking for a way to find a certain tab when I have multiple windows open which have several tabs in each. Have looked through Mozilla support and find no reference to the Move & Resize and Full Screen Tile choices on the Window tab so don't know if either would help. Mac running Sequoia 15.2 and Firefox 138.0.3

just recently my firefox just stopped using all the saved logins and passwords i had saved to my account. but the account is still logged in but says there is no passwords saved to the saved logins and passwords. i tried looking online for solutions but i couldn't find or figure out anything that matched what was happening to me or at a similar time. i have checked the login.json files and it is not corrupt, i tried to see if maybe the extensions i have may have deleted them somehow but they shouldnt be able to do that. i don't know or remember literally any of my passwords because firefox was holding them and would auto fill them and now it says they're gone and they don't have any saved in the browser. i was legitimately ready to try deciphering my passwords from my files to literally get anywhere near to what they could have been

My DSL router is at 192.168.0.1. Every time I log in to the admin account from another 192.168 box, Firefox balks because the router uses an evil self-signed certificate from the manufacturer. Is there any way to accept the "risk" permanently? It is an impediment to productivity having to wade through banners proudly proclaiming how dangerous my router is among warning messages and do you really want to ignore our safety warnings and corrupt your system you stupid user who, after decades of experience, cannot decide for yourself if your router is clickbait full of trojans and viruses that don't work on Linux systems anyway. Go bother Windows users with such utter nonsense. I don't need your Windows safety wheels. Solution: provide a way to turn off the miasma in about:config, safely hidden from naive Windows folk, for 192.168 networks.

Dear Support,

I have been using Windows 10 with Firefox for many years without any problems. However, yesterday all my extensions suddenly disappeared, though the bookmarks toolbar remained intact.

To fix this, I restored my computer to an earlier state from a few days ago. Unfortunately, after the restoration, even the data on my bookmarks toolbar was completely gone.

Could you please advise what might have caused this issue and whether there is any way to recover my lost bookmarks and extensions?

Kind regards,

AylwinChun.

Receiving the following error code when trying to go to my bank site: www.fnb.co.za. This started after the last Windows Update. I have no problem going to the site using other Internet Browsers. This just happens on FireFox: Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I have had this problem for many years now. When I complete a customer journey on some sites, usually with a payment involved, the final submit button doesn't work at all, and I have to redo the transaction on Chrome.

This happened yesterday on Ryanair's site and, by the time I gave up and redid the journey on Chrome, certain prices went up. So, now I'm losing money :-(

Firefox has been my default browser for a decade or more, despite my husband's teasing me about this issue, but I might have to give up and make the switch to Chrome or Edge. Please help!

Please note that Firefox clears my cookies every time I close my browser.

Thanks!

Wie bekomme ich Firefox wieder in Deutsch? Seit oben in der Eingabezeile rechts das Zeichen einer App, das ausschaut wie "XA", auftaucht, kommt Firefox fröhlich in Englisch. Was muß ich machen, um diese Beta-App wieder loszuwerden und wieder ein deutschsprachiges Firefox zu bekommen?

Hi everyone.

A few websites for the past month don't work for me on Firefox (WIn10), but work on Firefox Focus (iOS), Edge (Win10), Safari (iOS), etc.

I think maybe it's a configuration issue or a corrupted file or something. I don't have strict tracking protection on, and tried the troubleshooting mode. Or are some sites blocking Firefox Desktop in particular?

I also tried using a VPN to make sure it isn't geo-blocking. Example: https://wikidiff.com/assorted/assortment

Attached screenshot. Many thanks.

Hi, I am trying to login to a retirement account that Firefox/Mozilla is blocking. The site works on another browser, but, since I like to use Firefox exclusively for online work, I would really like to access the login there. Any suggestions? work arounds? I get an access denied ERROR 15 "This request was blocked by our security service" instead of the login. Since this site is a retirement account site, I cannot give more info.
