When I open FIrefox it opens briefly maximized, then reverts to minimized, then returns to maximized. I'd like it to open maximized, period.

When I close my sessions there is only a maximized window open. There are no minimized windows open.

How to do I change this behavior?

yesterday, when i logged into my icloud.com to use my email, my screen became dominated by a thing that said something about protecting my privacy or email or what ever. there were two options, and I tried both of them, but that was all it would do. I never was able to get rid of that screen or use my email. I consequently logged into google chrome and then had no trouble at all with my icloud.com account.

Every day when I come back to my mac and firefox is open, it will not respond to any new web address. I can put in any web site and it resolves the full page name, but does not open any site. I have to close firefox completely, which is a pain when I have multiple pages open. It does not matter if I have one or tabs in use, I am forced to close out of firefox completely in order for it to work again. This has been going on for years for me with firefox through multiple versions, multiple MacOS, and multiple Mac systems.

I have automatic updates turned off in Firefox, however, the browser will periodically pop up a window in the top right corner, upon firefox startup, asking me if I wish to update.

How can I permanently stop this window from appearing?

This pop-up window is a problem because the situation is occurring on the PC of my mother, who is elderly. If she accidentally closes the pop-up in the wrong way, by clicking on the "update" option, the next time Firefox starts it will attempt to update and open a new Windows security window asking for an administrator password, which she doesn't have. This leads to confusion and she is then unable to operate the PC, which can be a health and safety risk.

tl;dr : Please add an option for permanently disabling this update notification pop-up window because it is a safety risk.

For a long time now, the items listed in the "window" drop-down menu have randomly changed order each time I open Firefox, so that I always have to search the list for the window I want. With the latest update, it now changes while I'm looking at the menu, & not simply the order, but also the wording of entries. This appears to affect commercial sites, which makes me think that the companies involved are paying Firefox to make their sites more visible. If this is the case, it is both exceedingly annoying and also fairly reprehensible given your general ethos. Is there any way to stabilize (& rationalize) the order of the windows in the drop-down menu?

Is there any way to make the tabs more clearly defined from one another? All the tabs seem to blend together visually. There is no line that separates each tab from the one next to it. It's very annoying visually. Can this be changed with a setting?

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I own a website, let's say "website.com"

I transferred it from one host provider to another. "website.com" is now hosted by the new host provider, I know the transfer is now finished.

But when I browse the website and go to the URL website.com, I have this error message:

Warning: probable security risk Firefox has detected a potential security threat and has not proceeded towards If you access this site, attackers could steal information such as passwords, e-mails or credit card details. To find out more... Back (recommended) Advanced...

1/ Is it an SSL certificate error message?

2/ Should I solve this issue with my new host provider? What should I ask them?

Thanks a lot,

Hello, For me, there is no substitute for browsing with Firefox. But for some time now I've been getting notices that I'm not using the current browser version, for example in my email program and the banking application. However, Firefox info in the menu says that I am using the current version and there are no updates available. Here is the Firefox version shown to me: 78.15.0esr (64-bit) I work with an iMac of the following version: iMac (21.5 inch, from 2010) - OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 (15G22010); - Processor: 3.06GHz Intel Core i3; - Memory: 4GB 1333MHz DDR3; - Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB Maybe my computer is too old for the latest version, but why does Firefox Info show me that the browser is up to date and there are no updates? Thank you very much for a tip Uwe

I have run into an annoyance where I am trying to click on a link in my email to open a new page. Clicking on the link makes a bar show up telling me that Firefox has prevented a popup from being opened (see attached image). I am given the option of managing my preferences / Firefox settings, where I can either go through multiple steps to permanently allow all pop-ups from that website until I restore my original settings, or uncheck a box to permanently allow all pop-ups from all sites until I check that box again. This is annoying because I have no interest in either allowing or disallowing all pop-ups from all websites, or all pop-ups from this specific website, every time I want to open a single pop-up from a specific site. I would rather that the warning bar which tells me that Firefox has blocked a pop-up also display a button allowing me to allow ONLY THIS SPECIFIC POP-UP IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE.

Is this a setting that exists in Firefox? Alternatively, is there a version of Firefox which does have a setting which would allow this? Or is this simply not a functionality that exists for this browser?
