Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

"Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor."

I can't log in to certain sites even though they've been on my favourites list for years, i.e. bank account and grocery shopping. I can log in to them using Edge , so what's gone wrong with Firefox. Is the latest updates to blame ???

Reddit is not allowing me to comment on posts. The area where the button to comment is simply black. I can still reply to other comments, post and do everything else but i cannot comment. Commenting works fine on other browsers and the mobile app but doesn't work on firefox specifically. I do not have any extensions.

My Canon printer disconnected from my computer after Firefox offered me CutePDF writer printing which I did not take.

The drop down menu for printers under settings no longer shows my Canon, only this Cute one.

Not Cute...Need to be able to print.

Connection to Zoom on this same desktop is not working right. The meeting flashes on and off. Ideas?

Thanks, Karen

I have used Firefox for many years and have occasionally had log in problems, but never as long as this one. I have been trying to log in to www.homedepot.com for more than two weeks and when I try, nothing happens. Home Depot says it is a Firefox problem....can you help. I have cleared cache and cookies and still have the same problem.

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

Hi, I have noticed that for the last three weeks, i have been unable to access Whatsapp web using the Firefox, is there a problem? While using other browsers, the whatsapp web is accessible. Please rectify that coz firefox is my default browser. Thank you.

Allow us to override your ridiculous security settings. Firefox will not let me access www.meijer.com. Secure connection failed. It's a common everyday site. I will assume the risk on my mac.

bold text I am fed up with all this nonsense! I still can not respond to comments on my own blog. This is not good enough!!! It's taking far too long for this issue to be fixed.

I have no idea what next to do! Maybe I'll just throw my computer away! Yes...I am angry.

Why can't I post a response on my own blog?????? Why is everything so difficult????
