Firefox Support Forum

I seem to be encountering various problems since the update to 73, the main one is the profile folder, I dislike the default location so have previously just put my preferred location in appdata\roaming\mozila\profiles.ini but 73 regularly ignores this and puts a basic profile in the default location and alters profile.ini. Using the profile manager does not get any better results. I am also having problems with the home page, I have set a custom page but 73 often resets this to a blank page or sometimes the default home page. I have had to resort to a 'portable' version as 73 constantly resetting things was getting so annoying but the portable does not work well as a default browser.

i abitually open more sheets with varius pages of the same site (for example 4 pages of wikipedia) on some sites wher i have to consent the privacy i consent on the first page that i open but then i havce to consent on all the sheets i open, how can i make him understand that is the same sites and i alredy gave my consent? i tried to play with the options in pyvacy setting but the resuts don't change, i'm sure there is a way because if i stay in the same sheet it doesn't happen.

thanks

Is there any way to bookmark all synced tabs? I'm trying to move my open tabs from my phone to my pc.

I know you can right click a single synced tab and "Bookmark this tab". But I would like to do it for all open tabs.

I know you can "Open all in tabs", but that is an awful solution due to lag and potential redirects.

Hello I was attempting to backup my c-drive documents to onedrive when my computer crashed. When I turned it back on I could no longer access any of the files I had attempted to back up on my C-drive (panic!). I looked online for advice and followed advice to unlink Onedrive and restart. I did this and managed to find my C-drive files (phew) but the whole of my desktop and browser history, passwords, bookmarks etc has been completely wiped. There is some really important things in there and I would really like to get it back. Any help much appreciated...I am not tech minded so any advice as simply put as possible please....

Thanks

The scroll wheel is not working in Firefox. It works in other programs, so it is not a problem with my mouse.

It just started today. I have cleared my data and cookies, and restarted Firefox. I have not installed any new extensions in months.

This is a serious usability issue. I will have to switch to another browser, that will allow the use of the scroll wheel.

I need to completely block videos from autoplaying! So far I've done the following:

  Switch firefox settings to block video and audio
   media.autoplay.default = 5
   media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false
   media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true
   media.autoplay.block-webaudio = true
   services.sync.prefs.sync.media.autoplay.default = false
   media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed = false (android)

(or)

   media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2 (PC)

The videos are hidden from the start but if you click anywhere in the website they pop up!

Hallo, seit dem Update auf Version 80 wird immer meine Konfiguration von Firefox zerstört. Ich muss dann sämtliche Einstellungen erneuern. Wenn das nicht abzustellen ist, werde ich Firefox de-installieren, obwohl ich seit Jahren Nutzer von Firefox bin. MfG rentnerjo46

After updating Firefox forgets that I want .pdf files opened with Windows standard application instead of downloading them. Can Firefox be told to remenber my preferance?

is there a fix ??

Sometimes when I open a new tab and go to search something it will just close and bring me back to the previous tab after I press enter. This also happens when I open a link in a new tab so its not a problem with my enter button closing it. If I choose top open a link in a new tab sometimes it will close without me even clicking on the tab.

Fix this crappy browser so your clients don't have to endure this needless problem...Every time Mozilla updates I lose my bookmarks. So frustrating! And YES I have viewed all the pages on Profiles, syncing etc and still I cant fix it. Why cant Mozilla make this my bookmarks process seemless.

Please help so I don't have to rebuild my bookmarks every time Mozilla updates

I confer with the first comment, you lovely people have helped me so many times...I desperately need to monitor my emails, I WAS using the red flag method, can you suggest an alternative solution? I was self taught, now I am paying for it! There are several things I did initially, example, I have just learned how to make a NEW FOLDER, this year! Thanks so much in advance!

I use familysearch.com regularly and from it I click through to ancestry.com, but sometime it randomly tells me that the pop-up is blocked, even though I've just accessed the same sight 30 times in a row. What would cause this and how do I fix it? I check the settings and the "block pop-ups" is unchecked.
