Won't save images!

I have been trying to save images from a game I play to file (locally). I've been doing this for years, but now all of a sudden within the last (week??) it's not doing it AT all.

For one thing it now opens my in-game image - into a whole new tab (which is absolutely bizarre and annoying!!)

When I DO go to 'right click' on this image to save, I have it PRE-SET to go to my preferred location to save as a PNG file.

I go to windows explorer and it's NOT there. I try it again! Saving it as a JPG, NOT THERE.

Restarted the browser... tried again (resumed the game, got to the place where I wanted the screenshot..it's an ingame 'screen shooter' that's worked for me for years in Opera and Chrome).

It GRABS the screenshot, no problem! But to save the image (no matter the file format) it WILL NOT DO ITTttttttttttttttt

I am going bonkers. I have double checked the file path. I've given it a VERY Specific name JUST in case if I DID save it somewhere 'stupid' lol!! I've checked my 'screenshots' folder! (Which is also bizarre to me!) These images *Are noooooooooowhere*

This is a very new thing for this browser (For me!)

i've gone through my Firefox settings insofar as I can see - with a fine tooth comb. I've cleared ALL CACHE and TMP folders, REBOOTED the system, restarted my browser (which is supposedly fully up-to-date! I Check on this *Daily*)

Can you please help me out here?? this is driving me bat sh*t crazy I'm the desktop PC/Windows 11. i've run scans for drivers! For any system updates! My browsers are ALL up to date!

I tried running this in Opera and it works!! But I need to keep things separate and chose Firefox for this particular game (in-browser).

I am at a loss and can't think of what else I can try to do! (if there's a setting I've over looked! if this is a known issue... I have lost the patience to try and filter through the help pages I'm so sorry) this has put me to my wits end.

Please help. Thank you so much.

I recently received a message from PayPal, that my foxfire operation system remains "Windows 10", and this is also the case for Chase's internet banking. and, some time ago, I've used Window's 11, detail steps from the foxfire "windows 11", update site, that appears to be a failed attempt to date.

Is there a clear solution to "Windows 11" update, currently an issue? your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

With regards, Ollie Moore

I am logged into my computer. When I try to sync my phone Firefox with my computer, I am asked to provide a number from an authentication app. I don't have any such authentication app and can't figure out what the Firefox one is. There does not seem to be a workaround. I can't use a backup code or reset option. I am trying to figure out what to do.

Thank you

I have Mozilla Firefox as my browser on my i phone. I noticed an exclamation symbol saying" enter your PW to connect". I go to firefox.com/pair on my desktop. I navigate to the QR code and take a picture. I confirm the desktop with the i phone. Then it asks for 2 step verification code from an authenticator. I don't get one. So I download an Authenticator app. And nothing shows up there either. The problem is getting a code from an authenticator to complete the process. What should I do?

I get the following error message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to otc.tax.ny.gov. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Now and then, I'm able to log in successfully. lately though, I'm having trouble logging in using Firefox browser.

This is becoming very frustrating. What could be the issue? What do i need to do to resolve the problem?

I did some research recently on some travel sites.

Today, while trying to research which tab was doing DNS queries to SnapChat (which I never use) I learned about `about:processes`. I found 5 "hidden" tabs from various travel sites (some of which I never visited) running in the background. I did not explicitly hide any tabs.

WHY IS IT ALLOWED FOR SITES TO KEEP OPEN HIDDEN TABS AT ALL WITHOUT TELLING ME ABOUT IT?

This is not conducive to trusting Mozilla.

Hallo und guten Tag, auf meinem Desktop habe ich seit einigen Tagen einen neuen Ordner mit der Bezeichnung - Alte Firefox-Daten - . Ich kann den Ordner leider nicht löschen. Alle Versuche sind bisher gescheitert.

Habe Mozilla Firefox schon 2-mal deinstalliert etc. Der besagte Ordner lässt sich trotzdem nicht löschen.

Angeblich wegen fehlender Berechtigung. Was kann ich machen?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

On Windows 11 Pro, with the promotional McAfee app already uninstalled, the Firefox browser persistently presents what amounts to a Pop-up advertisement in the form of a fake new tab that remains in the background, unseen and left open even after one closes the browser session. How can this phenomenon be permanently terminated?
