Why is there not an option to say "no" to Firefox automatically loading when you restart your computer? There is only "yes" or "not now". I am not interested to my internet browser loading and opening once I have restarted my computer. I use my computer for much more than browsing on the internet. I am tired of always having to click the "not now" option to only have it show up the next day or two days later, where I then have to click, yet again, the "not now" option. I even went into Firefox settings and have not found an option to "op out" of this particular feature. Can you please add a "no" option to automatically opening upon restart.

I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work.

The new Profiles menu option will not go away. I have no use for it, will never use it and I accidentally select it since they stuck it right next to bookmarks. Pretty poor decision.

If there is not way to remove it then after 30 years I will be dropping Firefox.

Harmful auto-format feature: Firefox hijacks typing to force weird numbered lists in WhatsApp & AI chats

Hello,

I am dealing with a quite frustrating issue, and I literally cannot do anything to stop it from ruining my messages.

Whenever I manually type in WhatsApp Web or AI chats (like ChatGPT or Claude), Firefox completely hijacks my text box. As soon as I start a line by typing "1", a period, and a single space ("1. "), the browser forces my text into an auto-formatted numbered list.

This isn't just unhelpful; I see it as a genuinely harmful feature. The formatting it forces on me is weird and broken—it frequently adds massive, irrelevant paragraph gaps between list items, completely messing everything up.

I am completely stuck because standard fixes do not work:

If I press Ctrl + Z to undo the auto-formatting, it also deletes the space I typed.

I am not pasting anything; this happens the millisecond I type the spacebar from scratch.

It feels awful to have my manual typing hijacked like this. Users should be able to type a simple number and a period without the browser transforming it into a broken HTML list.

Is there an about:config setting or any way to completely disable this auto-formatting feature so I can just type normally again?

Thank you.

When I select a line of text, normally it would get deleted/overwritten when typing a new line of text, but when I select text in Firefox and begin typing again, it simply deletes the first word in the selection and keeps the rest. Is there a setting to have ALL text selected deleted/overwritten when new text is entered? Selecting one word overwrites the whole word but when an entire line to be deleted is selected, only the first word is deleted and typing begins where that word ends.
