I keep getting browser update screens by microsoft asking me if i would say yes to installing the latest download or update. I checked my settings and i'm set to get automatic updates but they are all in pending status because I say no to the microsoft question everytime because i didn't know if i could trust that warning that they throw up.

What do you advise?

I think my firefox is infected in some way. I am constantly getting phishing pop-ups on the lower right hand corner of my screen when using the Firefox browser. They claim to be from McAfee, Windows and other legitimate places and tell me things like viruses have been detected, but scans of my computer do not detect any. They all come from something called 5qlql.azure.net or something similar to that.

I recently updated browser and now I have a tab that I can't get rid of, I think it's the sync set up tab because it wants me to sync all my devices with firefox. It currently sits at 33% wanting me to upload firefox on my devices. I like firefox I've been using it as default browser on my computer since the beginning and with that being said I just want to keep things the way they are, I don't want to sync everything. To be honest I have loaded firefox on my iPhone a while back and never really used it as I'm accustom to Safari on the iPhone. I'm old school and old and like things the way they are lol.

weibo.com will not load on Firefox. I've tested it on Edge and Chrome and it loads on both. It uses a "sina passport" system, I assume to handle traffic from outside China and avoid DDOS attacks. The URL for this is passport.weibo.com. The issue with Firefox is that it never passes this check. The passport will continually refresh and never load the main website content, only serving a blank URL as it tries to enter the site.

I am unable to access a large number of sites, including TV replays, as they say I have ad blockers on. I have checked how to remove them but they are not there. I use Duck duck go - is that the problem? Someone suggested using Edge but I don't want to. I tried briefly but it still didn't work and then I had to struggle to remove Edge.

Simply help me find how to double space. It is not obvious.

I started using Apple computers in 1980. A university professor, i urged my students to buy, Mac, even though the University was committed to the other.

I am forgetting things I knew relating to computer, in this case. Your Support site hides 'Double space' why? John Klassen

Videos not loading properly. Once video is loaded and playing, If I pause it then unpause it they take a good 3-4 seconds to continue.

Recently, my FireFox has been acting a bit strange when it comes to playing videos. I am using a site called Udemy to watch a video course I'm taking, however, the videos don't seem to play for either a long time, or until I tab into YouTube and play a video there.

This issue is not only with Udemy however, as the YouTube videos also take longer than normal to start playing; It's not only at the start of the video either (whilst waiting for the video to fully load), It's all the time, between every pause I have to wait around 3-4 seconds before It actually start playing.

The issue is clearly something to do with videos but I find it very strange that playing a YouTube video forces my Udemy video to load.

It's been a real struggle trying to get todays course day done, since every time I pause the video I end up having to wait a while or go to YouTube and play a video to make it continue.

I've gone through all the basic troubleshooting recommended for video issues on here and other places: Turn of hardware encoding, lower security levels, enabling autoplay etc etc; absolutely no luck. I've tried disabling extensions one by one, disabling themes, running FireFox in troubleshoot mode, clearing all data/history/cookies/cache, making sure DRM-controlled content is enabled as well as trying it disabled. You name it, I feel like I've tried it at this point... Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Another thing to add is Chrome isn't having this issue, neither is Safari.

Hello, I am trying to print labels from the web on a Dymo labelmaker. When I select no margins it prints on far left of label and cutting part of the text off. When I choose custom margins it prints very small and does not change regardless if I change the margins to 0 or change the size to 200%. When I print it in chrome it works perfectly fine.


/edit: removed space before "I am" to removed horizontal scroll bar.
