Cannot delete items added to cart on patioslingsite.com using Firefox. Works ok using Google and Microsoft Edge browers. Using latest Firefox update on my Windows 10 OS and tried a few setting changes in Firefox without resolve.

Hello, I was trying to fix this issue on my browser but I was not able to do it. The OS is Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 64-bit. Currently, I'm using Firefox version 99.0a1 but I had the same issue on version 97. Also, I have this issue on only one of my PCs. As I said in the subject: - The browser freezes the whole PC and I have to force reboot it. (I already disabled the hardware acceleration) - the recent download item open button does not trigger the opening of the folder. - If I try to download a file, the browser ask me where to save it. But if I try to download another one the browser shows me the directory with path /run/usr/1000/... I tried to delete places.sqlite but I received the same result. ... I'm attaching two screenshots also. Thanks a lot!

Dropbox file won’t open

I downloaded Dropbox via Firefox and saved a document. I have my File Explorer set to open Dropbox files with Firefox. But … when I try to open my downloaded Dropbox file, Firefox opens, and I get a box that asks “Open File” or “Save File.” No matter which I click, a new screen opens with the exact same box, repeatedly. I have let computer sit, in case file was just loading slowly, but never does. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox several times, cleared Firefox cache, made sure my security allows downloads to Firefox. Can anyone help me? Let me add, the file in question is a family tree, and I was wondering if I might need to use something like Adobe Acrobat Reader as a third party location for opening this file. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I can't remember my mozilla password and am trying to reset it. The reset link will not work it. It says the "reset password link expired" even though it was only sent a minute ago. I'm pretty sure some of my passwords have been compromised- a few weeks ago I couldn't sign in at all- firefox/mozilla didn't recognize my password. So I changed it- but now I cant remember the new password and I don't know if it would work even if I could. TIA

Hi, Acronis on my Mac (Big Sur) reports a high number of CRITICAL vulnerabilities relating to Veracode: e.g. ERROR: 'VERACODE:32409' is a malformed CVE-ID - and numerous other code numbers - too many to list.

I have just checked and my FF reports it is 100.0 still and no updates. I note that this was a problem in FF 84.x and was fixed. Can anyone advise me if there is a security update to FF and also should I avoid using it for the time being, subject to a fix?

I am running Firefox 100.0. When I go to certain websites reCAPTCHA is preventing me from accessing the site. Error message: Please upgrade to a supported browser to get a reCAPTCHA challenge.

I enabled Pop-ups for those sites to no avail. Zoom.us and sedar.com are 2 websites causing problem but only on one computer.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but no difference. I disabled Norton 360 and made no difference. No problem if I switch browser.
