Firefox Support Forum

It's not a huge deal but annoying none the less. And hard to explain. When I hover over the Firefox logo in my taskbar, all my open web pages are shown in miniature, which is great. The problem is, each of those small pages is shown at the top of the respective page rather than the position where I was working within them. In other words, I can't just pass my mouse over one of the miniatures and see the page displayed in the position where I was working; all I see is the top of that webpage. To get back to the spot where I had been working, I must actually click on the miniature and go back to that page. When I do, it opens correctly, exactly at the spot where I left it. But this means I have to click on each page to see where I was. So if I have 6 or 8 web pages open, and want to get a quick glance at any one of them, I have to hover then click on the page and go to it. I guess I got spoiled by the way Yahoo used to work; when I hovered over any of the miniatures, I was looking at the location on that page where I was working. I didn't have to actually click on the page to get a quick look. Hope this is making sense. Is there a setting I can adjust?

In Firefox 99, there does not appear to be an option to select webmail for the "mailto" link. Previously there has always been the option to choose Yahoo or Google mail. This has always been an extremely useful feature. What has happened to it?

I have been using Firefox's built-in screenshot taking capability for years now and love it. However, since I purchased a new macbook air a few months ago and installed Firefox on that device, I notice something strange. When I go into setting and change the default location for Firefox to save downloads, the screenshots I take still end up being saved to my desktop instead of the download folder. On my old Macbook pro that I had been using for >4yrs this was never an issue.

I have tried resetting this but it does not seem to work. Any idea what is the issue?

For some reason yesterday Firefox stopped opening PDF documents using Acrobat. I have checked the settings and Acrobat is set as the default application. I tried changing this to "always ask" it made no difference and forces saving the file.

I read various articles on this forum and have opened the profile folder and deleted/renamed files. It didn't work. I've cleared the cache. It didn't work. I've tuned up it didn't work.

It's becoming very cumbersome and annoying. I don't want to save every file before downloading it, I want PDF files to open in Acrobat

I go to a site like Proxy-Vote where you have to fill-in forms by clicking on small circles. When you click on a circle it fills-in showing it was selected as your choice. Circles will not fill in with Firefox. Works fine with Chrome and Safari

I think this went missing in a recent update. Chrome seems to have hijacked it. I reset the email app in windows settings and mailto showed back up in ff, but it no longer shows gmail as the action.

Drag-&-drop does not work when composing a message in OWA when using Firefox ... I know it works in Chrome and Edge ... how can the Firefox settings be adjusted to allow the drag-&-drop feature to function?

When attempting to log in to Apple Music in Firefox on Windows 10 I receive the following popup: "Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, idmsa.apple.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window." When I click on the Open Site in New Window button, the new window is blank. I have disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection but this had no effect. I am able to log in using Microsoft Edge browser with no trouble.

We upgraded to latest Firefox version and noticed that jnlp files that used to download and open automatically doesn't work as expected. We know there is a new logic about download/open files in this Firefox version, but why the jnlp files are automatically downloaded but the file downloaded doesn't have any extension, then it cannot be opened with the associated program (javaws)?

The file is named frmservlet.jnlp and Firefox warns about that file extension, however once is downloaded it's named as frmservlet (no extension).

Hi,

when I want to connect my phone via QR-Code, first, the WhatsApp-Web-Site reloads rapidly for some seconds and then the screen goes back to the inicial WA-Site, stating:

"A database error occurred on your browser. Please restart your computer and relink your device."

I did that, but no help. I also tried the debugging-mode, also without any positive effect.

I didn´t found much about this issue on the internet, but I know, that several people have the same problem, which occours since one week, about right after the new WhatsApp-Update and the last Firefox-Update. The only two topics I found are:

[https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/com.../whatsapp_web_doesnt_work_on_my_ipad_with_ios_12/] https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/ttkkuv/whatsapp_web_doesnt_work_on_my_ipad_with_ios_12/

[https://community.brave.com/t/web-wha.../362249]

Please let me know if someone has a workaround.

Best regards,

My debugging information is attached. Unfortunatly, its in German, but you can translate it with deepl.com:

The email client is https://webmail.optusnet.com.au/

All other text formatting buttons work OK while using Firefox. I can only change the font size when using Pale Moon or Chrome. I have attached a picture that shows the situation. Thanks, Maurice.

I wish to automatically enable ' Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts' while installing the Firefox browser silently. So please let me know the registry key or file or property responsible for automatically enabling this option during installation.

I changed the proxy and after closing firefox and reopening it the proxy setting is greyed out. Reinstallation, clearing cache in Local and appdata didn't fixed it. Thanks for any help
