I just downloaded Alfred and now when I try a search from the address bar or the search box on the right, it is defaulting to bing! I have restarted in trouble shooting mode and it is still there. I don't see bing in the drop down of searches in default search engines, in fact the only thing that now shows up there is has the firefox icon and "a browser." I ran malware and it quarantined 17 items. Still have bing. Please help me get rid of this intruder! Thank you

On MacBook Air, the wifi connection is strong but Firefox keeps disconnecting it in the middle of use even though I have 4 bars of connection. I then need to disconnect wi-fi, wait a second and then reconnect the wi-fi, take a breath and click on the link for the site I was ALREADY using. Happens constantly to the point I use my PC for internet as much as possible. And NO it's not a router issue because PC doesn't have this issue with the wi-fi.

I am highly distractable by screen movements of any kind, and prefer that nothing on my screen moves unless I ask it to--no autoplay or running ribbons of text or even slideshows with pictures slipping past each other unless I specifically click to make something move. But none of the adjustments I've found in about:config have stopped the snowflakes that drift down across the screen on

https://cutetropolis.com

during December. I'd like to stop them in my viewing but not be the killjoy that demands they be taken down for everyone, because lots of people actually like them.

Any suggestions on what setting to tweak for this?

Can anyone tell me why I keep getting an error message when I click to view my Upcoming Bills & Payments, and also when I click the "Contact Us" link... The error message is: "Sorry! We're unable to find the page you were looking for due to a technical problem." I've tried clearing the cookies but this didn't help. When I do my CBA internet banking using Chrome, I don't have the same problem as with Firefox.

The issue is if you have an iframe that is using 3D Transformation the content has focus outside of the iframe area, but only when the iframe content is on a different domain.



Here is an example, This is a 360 panorama that has an iframe pinned to the panorama using 3D Transformation. The content of the iframe is on the same domain. 

Open the link with Firefox, move the mouse very close to the iframe but not in it, then click and drag the panorama.

The mouse has focus on the panorama.

 Here is the same project but using a different domain. Do exactly the same but this time you will see that the mouse has focus of the iframe contents. 
If you zoom out then the whole page has focus in the iframe.
 After refreshing the page, zoom, in, once zoomed in the mouse has the correct focus, able to click and drag the panorama and also interact with the iframe contents.

 This is a relatively new problem with Firefox, all other browsers do not have this issue.

I use a Firefox account on two different machines- one is a Mac and the other is a Windows machine. I have some programs installed on the Windows machine that installed an extension for Firefox. Those programs are not Mac compatible but because of the same account, those extensions were copied to the Firefox installation on Mac. I was wondering if there is a way to isolate the extensions to just the windows installation? Thanks!

Firefox has been my favourite browser for years but I am about to uninstall and kick it to the curb!!!

Every time I want to attach/insert an image (on many different sites/platforms/apps) it freezes ~ I have to shut down and start again, losing whatever I have been working on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and have checked ~ all is up to date.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a mil!

FirefoxCP WebExtensions and FireFoxCP Isolated Web Content seem to cause my Mac's fans to spin crazily and are taking up the most resources by far. This happens most frequently on Hearst newspaper site and other heavy ad sites. I can turn off Enhance Tracking Protection which does not really seem to have an effect. I mean the fans will slow after about a minute or two and then start up again when I go do the next page. According to Mac Activity Monitor FirefoxCP WebExtensions will use up just over 2GB of memory and FireFoxCP Isolated Web Content will use just under 2GB of memory.
