Hi
Can anyone finally explain to me how can I get rid of the most annoying Google pop up screen in my Mozilla browser? I am unable to find a straight answer, everyone is suggesting some sort of plugin that blocks popups but it didn't work for me.

When using Firefox on OSX (Ventura 13.4) after about 1 day Firefox slows down so much I have to quit the application and restart it. Then it is back to normal speed. I'm not sure if this is an OS-X issue or Firefox issue, but restarting the app fixes it for a few hours, then its incredible slow again.

I updated. There was then supposed to be a 're-store session'. Didn't happen. And I'm not about to read a thousand pages of twaddle to find out why. Firefox actually just sucks. My tech installed it. I'm going back to Safari.

Every few days I get a notification that Firefox will be quitting in 120 minutes. However, there is no option to tell Firefox not to do this. I checked my settings and couldn't find anything about this either. My settings also say that my version of Firefox is up to date, so Firefox is not restarting for an update. Is this happening for other people? How do I tell Firefox not to quit without my permission?

Following a recent update (May 25th, 2023) I have lost all my notes. I know Mozilla does not monitor the Notes extension actively and the corresponding Github repo is archived (https://github.com/mozilla/notes).
Mozilla also notified the users about the decision to discontinue this service: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1328311.
However, I found the "Notes add-on" useful, and kept using it. Finally with a sudden update in late May 2023, I have lost all my past notes. While searching for possible solutions for the data recovery, I came to find the following solution by " jscher2000".
However, it was reported that though majority of the data was recovered by applying the technique above, lost notes were not among them: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1390845#question-reply
For anyone with similar issue I am describing below what worked for me. Following the suggestion by "jscher2000" I first generated the "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop. This is how I did that: From the Firefox browser window, click on Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Refresh Firefox and follow the instructions.
After creating the "Old Firefox Data" folder you will be able to see one, or multiple, "profile folders" therein. On my system I was able to see multiple "profile folders".
Next, type "about:profiles" in the URL space of a Firefox browser. I saw only a single profile (the default profile) on my screen that followed. Next, you need to "create a new profile" and point the system to one of the "profile folders" inside "Old Firefox Data" folder. Lastly, hit the "Launch profile in a new browser". If you can not see your old notes, try with another profile folder inside "Old Firefox Data" folder.
This is what worked for me (Mac OS). If there is any better solution please suggest that.

Firefox randomly, from where I sit, opens things in French rather than English. How can I keep it in English unless otherwise specified (I occasionally want German or Japanese)?
Thank you...
None of the suggestions worked. I reported that, but the thread was archived rather than answered.
How can I get all the info out of my account and try to start another that speaks English reliably?
Thank you.

There is a bug when I try to make a video (Twitch, Youtube, ...) go full screen. I click in the full screen button and the video does not expand to the edges of the screen (the screen is shrunk slightly). There is a fix, but it requires the user to put the Firefox window in full screen and then put the video in full screen.
The other web browsers on my mac does not have this issue.
I searched for this issue and found one other reporting about this several years ago when quantum was first released - supposedly it was fixed. But it's still present here.

I just went to one of my email folders in Googlemail and it was empty. When I began to check the other folders they are all empty as well, but on Google Chrome and on my phone all the messages are there. Why are they not there in Firefox? Can I get them back?

Scrambled Fonts: I see that many people have this issue. I am unable to resolve this. Starting in safe mode fixes the issue temporarily, but I am tired of this. As Firefox is the default browser throughout all my Apple Macs in my studio, I need to resolve this bug. I have also checked Safari and Chrome to verify this is a Firefox issue. The other browsers do not scramble fonts, and I have found no helpful topic article that can fix this.
Before I jump to Chrome as my default browser, I thought I would contact support to see if this can be salvaged.

When I open emails many times the letters are gibberish. The letters are changed into symbols and weird looking letters. Sometimes closing Firefox and reopening helps, but usually I have to restart my computer. Even then, it may or may not be readable. Some emails are only partially this way, but most are complete gibberish. Has been happening for a few months. I have updated Firefox and am running the newest update. I am using Microsoft 365 email. Other computers in the same office do not have this issue. Any ideas how to fix this?

New version produces "Access Denied" when logging into Chewy.com Please fix this. I tried to add an image, but, like last time, doing so froze the page and I couldn't get back here. Had to start over. Can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox that worked? If so, how?
