I use Firefox to read books in pdf format. I want to record the location everytime I close the pdf file so that I can easily go back to where I leave last time. But I notice no matter where I am in the file, the url does't change. I think it's the reason why everytime I click the bookmarked file and the Firefox just open the file on the first page, not the location I leave last time. Is there any way to record the location I leave?

Firefox 98 no longer giving option to open or save file, just saves it to download folder which floods me with files

Firefox 98 no longer giving option to open or save file, it now just saves files to my Download folder, which I don't want. I use firefox for work, and I have to download literally hundreds of files, mainly generated excel spreadsheets, a day. The ability to have the option to just open the file from the temp folder that gets cleared when firefox closed was great. Now I have to fiddle with about:config to get back even a portion of what I was able to do before. currently i have browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel set to false, which helps, but there are just certain file types that ignore this setting, such as zip files and pdf files. Those still auto download to the Download folder, then I have to go hunt for them if I need to attach them to emails. It's a BAD feature. How do I revert it to do what it did pre ver 98?

PLEASE help me find a way around this 'so called' improvement of auto downloading any attachment or file to my Downloads folder without any choice from me. I have checked the 'always ask' in General settings, waste of time. When prompt asks what you want to do, it auto downloads even if you say open and do NOT check save option. This is MAJOR frustrating, makes extra work for me to have to remember to go back to Downloads to delete all these files. We should have the right to make that decision on whether or not we want to save it to our computers and take up space. I view many files daily, most are NEVER saved...PLEASE either UNDO this feature you have implemented or give us a way to work around it, ie: make the General settings option actually apply as to what we select, at present this option is NOT working.

In 2021, never a problem . . . come 2022, accessing website of lpl in Subject matter has been impossible. All I get is a Server Not Found in my tab with this on the screen:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at myaccountviewonline.com.

If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

   Try again later.
   Check your network connection.
   If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

My ip address is: [IP removed from public]

HELP!!!

For many years I have used Firefox and would check lottery ticket numbers on the New York State Lottery web site. A few days ago it became a problem. I can get to the web site but then when you click an icon to go to a particular game to check the numbers nothing happens. When i tried to click on the FAQs icon or just get to the menu to find their contact inf, none of that worked either. I found an old copy of IE11 on my computer and connected with that and it worked. I contacted the NY Lottery web site via email and they said they didn't change anything.

Is there an issue with a recent Firefox update?

I cannot sign in to my EA.com/pogo account because they require me to obtain a code through my e-mail account. After I check "Send code" a pop up appears in the lower left hand corner "javascript:void(0);" and I never receive the code.bold text I press shift+F5 and check inspector and debugger . A "main menu" appears and "pogo" appears then" sign in pogo" appears. I have tried everything to find out how to delete it but to no avail. It appears also after doing some clicking on the right side of the DOM that http is still showing up in the error listing, so I have changed the options in the foxfire privacy controls to all 3 different options but it didn't help. I really believe that was about the time Foxfire put this option to use https instead of http. I have also asked for help from search on the internet for fixing a Javascript:void(0) error and even paid to obtain the app as recommended by Microsoft called Restro, but it didn't repair it either and I did get a refund from them. This only happened to me about November or December when I tried to sign in to play pogo. I have a paid up subscription to them and have contacted them numerous times but they won't help me--only once I was told by a rep in Facebook to delete my cache & cookies which I had done from the beginning. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know on this site or e-mail me at d-bar-ranch@hotmail.com. I do not have any trouble with receiving e-mails...except from ea.com/pogo .Thanks...

About 99% of the time when I middle-click a link in order to open it in a new tab, it will open the tab in the background. However, every once in a while middle-clicking will open the link in a new tab and switch to it immediately.

I want the tabs to be opened in the background, and my Firefox preferences are set accordingly (i.e., I have not enabled "When you open a link, image, or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately").

Is this a bug, or am I unknowingly modifying my middle click to trigger switch-immediately somehow? If I am, I'd like to know how because there are some times when I'd like to open a link in a new tab and switch to it immediately—just not at random 1% of the time.

I rebooted my Mac (OS X 12.3, MacBook Pro M1) and now I cannot launch Firefox. If I try to launch from the command line, I get:

``` $ open /Applications/Firefox.app/ The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10673 "(null)" UserInfo={_LSLine=3845, _LSFunction=_LSOpenStuffCallLocal} ```

That message was extremely confusing, so I opened up Console and watched for errors. I saw that Firefox appears to be blocked by gatekeeper:
