Every time I change the settings in the image attached, once I close the browser, the settings are reversed back. My changes do not persist if Firefox closes or my PC turns off. My other settings persist when I make changes. I only get this error when I try to edit the Privacy settings.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

I am trying to install the new extension for Mac OS below 10.14.I have Mac OS 10.13, and this laptop cannot update to any newer OS.

I received the message that Firefox is not longer supported on my OS. I tried to download the extension to fix this issue.

I got to where there is a Firefox icon with an arrow pointing to the Applications folder icon. 

Now instructions. What am I supposed to do?

I am skilled in MANY things, not computer set up stuff.

ALSO - I clicked on something that seemed logical at the time. I do not recall what it was that prompted me to choose "existing" program (Firefox). or to not choose the existing program. I don't understand the process and clicked on "existing". I fear this was the wrong choice. Most web pages will not load. But if I click on the fox icon at the top of the window, it now shows a list of recently closed tabs, and if I click on the website listed on that page, the website will open.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I've powered off and on and I've done everything I read online to do but keep going in circles.

I spend a lot of time opening a link in a new tab, and then once I have finished looking at it I need to move my mouse pointer over to the tab to close it so that I can go back to my main page.

I would like a simple addition to the Firefox code that would allow me to close the current tab with a double click anywhere on the current tab. This should be a simple thing to implement in a Firefox release.

Thanks

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with YouTube video playback in Firefox. When I watch a video in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode and then close the PiP window, the video automatically pauses on the main tab in the browser.

My expectation is for the video to continue playing in the background tab after the PiP window is closed, similar to how it works, for example, in Opera GX browser.

I have already tried changing the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.pause-on-disable setting to false in about:config, but this did not resolve the issue. The video still pauses.

I believe it would be a significant convenience if Firefox allowed videos to continue playing in the background rather than pausing them when the PiP window is closed.

Is there any way to fix it?
