Hi,

PayPal has a new verification method that involves sliding a bar.

After doing so it says I've been blocked.

I can log in using Edge (but I don't want to have to use Edge for PayPal).

Any help is appreciated.

Hello! I am an avid user of firefox (especially with adblockers) on a windows 11 PC. Unfortunately, I have recently been experiencing an issue where when I attempt to open firefox, a window will open for a split second before instantly closing again. My PC is up to date, I have tried refreshing firefox and doing a clean install, but cannot seem to overcome the issue, or even open it in safe mode. Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks in advance!

I am getting this message when logging on to my CIT Bank account. I updated my Mcafee software yesterday. I had no problem logging in before to this site. Need help:

I want to make myMSN ( URL is www.msn.com/?pc=U506&ocid=U506DHp ) my Firefox Home Page. I have tried all the suggested methods but apparently I'm not doing something correctly because none of them have worked. The closest I've come to success is pasting the URL in the Home Page option in Firefox Settings, but I can't get it to stay there. There is no "SAVE" button to click on. My old computer (running Windows 10) had no trouble setting myMSN as my Firefox Home Page but this new computer running Windows 11 is making it extremely hard (impossible so far). I have tried following suggested methods step-by-step but without success. Please help.

After manually deleting a link from my bookmarks, that unneeded link is still suggested in the address bar after the fact.

This is while using the Windows version of Firefox 140. In the Search > Address Bar — Firefox Suggest section of settings, I only have the Bookmarks option enabled. I've tried disabling History > Remember search and form history and enabling History > Clear history when Firefox closes options as well but still have the problem.

I'd really appreciate any advice.

After updating to newest Firefox 140.0.2 (64-bit) does all PDF attachment stop working it doesn't offer to save or open them as it used to, we tried sending a Doc document to the email and it will download them and open them so it is only PDF files.

I tried new profile with blank slate on her PC.

OS: Windows 11 Have Bit defender security and Malwarebytes

I also tried on my PC logging into the work email as neither me or wife use Apple and same problem PDF attachments will not open or work.

I didn't create a new blank profile on my PC.

My PC: Windows 10 Enterprise Have same Bit Defender security and Malwarebytes

It worked in 139.0.4 for her, but downgrading is not a option as if I read the downgrade page right it will make a new profile making her loose the profile she is using now.

Do anyone have any ideas why after the update does Firefox now not open PDF Attachments, we tried Edge and it work fine there, if she forward from the work email to her private which is a gmail account she can open the PDF files, but that is not a good way of doing things or acceptable as it is work emails sent from companies her boss work with, he is a car mechanic with his own mechanic business.

Please tell me what details you need from me to help her find out why it stopped working or anything else I can try.

The Work place is just her and her boss plus 1 employee so I help with the IT on the work computer so I need to find out why this update stopped PDF attachments from working.

When I try to sign in to Yahoo I am sent to a Google sign in. I tried that and only got gmail and not my yahoo mail. I can sign in fine when I use Firefox private browsing and Edge. Why is Google involved with Yahoo mail?

I don't know how to safely do this but I have been hacked and can not use any of the accounts you have saved. I have a new Chase card and would like to Update my payment to continue getting Netflix. Perhaps you could send a phone number I could call to do this. Gail M Kader

Hello:

I'm not certain if this question comes under Firefox or not:

How do you stop a specific computer software program-app pop-up notification (popping out from the lower right corner of your computer)?

As an example, I have a utility program, IOBIT Malware System Care that pops-up various notifications such as "update notice," "renew," "discount sale" or whatever notice or ads that is 'pushed'.

-I went to my Windows 11 list of installed app "notifications" and this program is not listed. -I tried contacting tech support but they haven't responded. -I went to Firefox 'Settings' -> Privacy & Security->Permissions and then I opened up 'Exceptions' to see if I can block something. It wants me to put in a specific website. The issue is not a website but coming within a software / app program.

So how and where do I stop a "pushed' notification? I assume it's coming in via my browser / Firefox?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

After updating Firefox yesterday, when I use the search bar, switching between my custom search engines can only be done via clicking on a drop down menu at the left end of the search bar and selecting one with the mouse cursor. Previously, I could select my preferred search engine by using the up or down keys to cycle through them while typing a search, then hitting enter when the one I wanted was highlighted. Having to switch from keyboard to mousepad while typing a search is really annoying, I found the old way much more convenient. Is there a way to revert this, and put the search engines back at the bottom of the search suggestions, where I can access them with arrow keys?

Also, when I search now, the search stays in the search bar instead of changing to a URL, and I have to click a little internet globe icon at the right end of the bar for it to show the URL. This is also kind of annoying. Is there a way to turn this off, and just set it to show the URL every time?

in the last couple weeks, every time I go into Firefox my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar are scrambled. (all messed up and out of order). I have to keep restoring from a good save file. How do I stop this from happening? I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but that hasn't helped. I have imported the good bookmark file that I saved.

I cannot display Amazon Deals properly that contain multiple he products. The home page and single products display normally. should be. A page with multiple products has large blank areas where the product should be. If I move the mouse over these spots, a soundless video will often display.

My clearing of the temporary cache files did not help. Stopping Ghostery doesn't help either. Other add-ons include Last Pass, Honey, Review Meta and Facebook Fences.

Help is appreciated.

Firefox on my Windows 11 machine does not display a bar at the bottom of the screen. This is a problem when a web page is wider than my display, there is not slide bar at the bottom to grab and pan to the right. I have not found a way to get the bar back. Is this intentional? Am I missing something?

My Windows PC laptop has stopped syncing bookmarks from my android phone, even though I set them up to sync with each other. The syncing suggestions under Firefox support for syncing do not match with the options on my laptop or android phone.

After importing bookmarks from Microsoft Edge browser to Firefox, the two browsers have folders with the same name in the same directory. Some of the bookmarks in the folders have the same website domain names. I hope that in the future, Firefox can automatically organize bookmarks from two identical folders into one folder and automatically delete bookmarks with duplicate domain names. This feature is available when importing bookmarks from Firefox using Microsoft Edge. I hope Firefox can also improve it. Thank you.
