I searched Firefox for Merryfield Veternary services in Hamden Ct. The site gave a wrong telephone number and incorrect E-mail address and Hours of operation. Tried to get Merryfield to correct this error but they said it was on yelp and they could not correct it. My concern was that my pet almost died because I was calling the number listed which was not correct leaving messages on that number and not getting any return call. Then found out the errors presented in the web search to find their location. This should be corrected I almost lost my

Downloaded Firefox and installed on a new Acer laptop with Windows 11 as I do not really like Edge. Did what needed to get it installed and running. Seemed it was good, but when I try to open Firefox, it just does not work. I cannot even access the setting tab. It opens to a tab, and when I try to enter anything in the address bar, it shows no load arrow and hitting enter does nothing either. I have tried uninstall and re-install and cleared all Mozilla and Firefox files when re-installing.

Win 10 - Firefox 109.0.1 On a website when I click on a TEL link in Firefox it offers me the option the link being opened in Firefox (which does not know what to do with it) or selecting an "other" application. Firefox can associate an app with a link type. How to do that is not the question. The question is: what app should I have firefox open for a "tel" link that will invoke magicJack and pass the TEL link data (the phone number) to it. Thanks, bill

When Firefox finished an update, it placed the Firefox menu item in the taskbar and put up the splash tab it used as a splash page to present notification of changes and whatnot, however this happens every time I start or restart the browser, the Firefox icon can only be removed temporarily and the same walkthrough splash tab returns as well, of course I want to remove those permanently.

My desk top computer powered off yesterday (2/15). It came back on then got zapped again. Now I can not open or sing into my outlook account. I cannot enter a code if sent through Firefox. It will not open in email. I have been able to access my email through MSN. Or can respond to phone text.

My wife received a code on her phone last evening, but did not respond in time. We live in the sticks and have very poor service. Please help. I want my Firefox back.

If I have the inspector open from Web Developer tools, I can see the HTML elements presented under that tab. Is there anyway in Firefox's configuration settings that we can change the font-family for the HTML view under this Inspector area? (not globally for all of Firefox). If so, where or how can we make the adjustment?

Does this look legitimate. Is it something I need to be concerned about. Is Firefox sending such emails?

I have a wordpress blog website. I'm trying to setup google Adsense advertisements on that blog. I seem to have been partly successful because ads are showing in that website when I browse it with the mobile smartphone (also using firefox browser).

But when I try to look for the same advertisements on Firefox, on my laptop computer, the ads are not showing. Instead where the Ad should show, there is a light yellow cream coloured box / space.

I wondered if this is because there might be some kind of automatic ad-blocking on Firefox. But ads of other websites show up fine. Do you have any idea about what to do about this?

I tried whitelisting the site, but then, I'm not sure which site to put it on, and where. What I tried did not work.

I'm using firefox from Debian linux computer. Thanks.K.R

So I just updated to version 110.0 of Firefox, and I noticed it's doing something odd. I've always had my browser set to ask me where I want to download something. But when I went to download a pdf from DrivethruRPG a few minutes ago, instead of asking me where I wanted to save it, it sent it automatically to my computer's download folder. However when I checked my settings, I did indeed have the box checked that says 'ask me where to save files'.

Anyone have a clue what the hell happened here?

EDIT: I should also note that the PDF wasn't just being downloaded automatically, but it was also being opened in a new tab on the browser. Again, not sure what happened there.

Hello,

I was prompted that an upgrade was available and attempted to download/upgrade it.

Firefox upgrade to version 11. From version Firefox 109.0.1 on MACOS 12.6.3 After downloading I start Firefox get pop to install a new helper tool. I enter my admin name & password to allow this.

If I enter the correct user/password & click Install Helper the pop up disappears and nothing happens. When I launch FF again it prompts again same message. IF I enter the wrong passed it shakes and asks again.

Seems stuck anyone else having this problem and a possible workaround?

Thanks

Problems switching over from Google Chrome to Firefox

I'm still running Windows 7 and I won't give it up. Google Chrome notified me that their browser will no longer update with new versions of Google Chrome, so I switched to Firefox which is not a chromium-based browser.

I successfully imported all my files and bookmarks, etc., so that's okay.

The problem is that all of my desktop icons and bookmarks are all tainted with Google Chrome. What I mean by that is that if I click on any desktop icon or bookmark, my computer wants to open that website using Google Chrome and not Firefox.

While I can reset these to open with Firefox one icon or bookmark at a time, this would be very time-consuming since I have several dozen bookmarks and appx. 35 desktop icons.

Is there a way I can take care of all of these at one time?

Thank you,

George in Arizona

How can I STOP MS from updating software when I am NOT FINISHED with my work, but I have to get some sleep?

Hi Knowledgeable People! I hope someone can help me out here. I'm gonna explain this as best I can and I hope someone can suggest a way to get thru this issue. I am so tired of MS coming in & telling me that they are going to update my system that night when no one will be using it (assuming that I sleep at night). There is only an OK button or the "X" out of the notification (which is what I usually do). There is NO button that says "NO You CAN'T DO it until I say it's OK". I usually then put my POWER option into SLEEP mode. Sometimes I use Task Manager to "crash FF" so I don't lose any tabs from any windows that are open. I've had it work before, but last night I forgot to shut off the WiFi in Windows (not the hotspot)—I'm not even sure that that's the reason it worked the last time.

Here's the usual scenario: I spend 2 days or more on taking a bunch of screenshots from a webinar so I can understand the process that I'm trying to learn. Those screenshots are cropped & put in the application folder (an older version of PaintShop Pro). I use the older version, b/c I can do it much faster than I can in the newer version. They send me this pop-up that they're going to install the updates "when no one's using it after hours."

So surprise, I come out here this morning and I've lost all my work (just under 100 shots) that was located in PSP's temp folder. ALL MY WORK is gone!

What can I do to STOP M.S. from installing updates when I'm not finished with the work I'm doing and I need to go to sleep? Thanks for your help!

I have trouble moving cards properly on a solitaire site when using firefox. What happens is when I scroll down through the deck, I get to a point where when I click on a card the one before it appears. I figured out that I can cycle through flipped cards to get back to the one I wanted to use. When I use google chrome, I have no issues.
