I set my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Still, when I open a new tab and click on the address bar (without typing anything), "Search with google" is the first suggestion, followed by recent history.

I don't want Google there, it is not my default search engine, and I even removed it from my "Search shortcuts". I would expect either "Search with DuckDuckGo", since I explicitly set that as my search engine, or better yet, no search engine at all (since the address bar itself already functions as my access to search).

Hi!

I am an active user of Canvas LMS and I believe the most recent update of Firefox is breaking parts of the website (dashboard never finishes buffering and assignment details never show up). Right now I am forced to revert to a chromium based browser to use Canvas which is very incredibly inconvenient, and until the issue is resolved, I'd like to stay on Firefox 105.0.2 instead of 105.0.3. I know rollbacks are not favored at all, so if there are other options I'd be open to trying them, but I need an answer soon.

Thank you!

I hope someone can help! My Firefox account was hacked as was the email connected to it. I currently have no access to the primary email. I thought I added a secondary email, but I never got a password reset email so maybe I didn't. In any event, how can I contact Firefox to lock the account? I have a lot of sensitive information saved and I need that to be locked or better yet, erased.

HELP!!

P.S. - This refers to a different Firefox account than the one I am currently signed in with

Yesterday I noticed that my saved passwords were not being retrieved from Firefox. I did do a Windows update before this happened. None of my passwords are able to be retrieved. My Firefox account says my sync is not working & that my account is disconnected. Which is weird bc I'm actually signed in to Firefox now - able to see my user name. What's going on here & how can I fix it? Thanks!

I need to know how to stop firefox from automatically downloading every PDF file I look at. I’ve tried all of the suggested fixes on Mozilla and various other sites to no avail. None of them work. I’ve tried the following:

Going into settings, downloads, and checking “Always ask you where to save files.” Didn’t work.

Going into settings, applications, and under PDF, choosing “always ask.” Didn’t work.

Going into settings, applications, and under PDF, choosing “open in firefox.” Didn’t work.

Going into about:config and changing browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel from true to false. Didn’t work

None of these fixes stopped firefox from automatically downloading pdf files. I can’t just click on a pdf file to look at it without firefox downloading it.

I’m at wit’s end. My recylcle bin is full of unwanted pdf files.

Please give me a solution that actually works. My version is 105.0.3.

I have what I think is a simple or basic version of Adobe Acrobat Reader for reading pdf's. I need to be able to work with an XFA-based pdf which can't be done with Acrobat reader on Firefox. The Adobe help page gives instructions on how to do so in Firefox here: https://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/kb/xfa-forms-firefox-chrome.html However, those instructions don't appear to work with my version of Firefox (which I think is up to date). Basically, those instructions tell me to "choose Tools>Options" and then click "Applications." Those instructions are apparently out of date and Adobe Acrobat hasn't updated their instructions accordingly. Is there an alternative to allow me to work in an XFA-based pdf on Firefox? Thanks for your help and assistance.

Within the past few days, I've noticed Firefox act buggy and then got the message “The bookmarks and history system will not be functional … ” so I deleted my profile like it said so here. I had backed up all my extension settings beforehand, but it would be more convenient to backup and import them all at once with one or a few clicks.

I am trying to help a friend set up her web site. To do so I need to access her pages under development. She uses a composer assistant. The produced pages are compliant with http not httpd. They will be ported, eventually. But, for now, I need to override disable "connection not secure" for ONE site. I tried disable HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox to no avail. What's next to try? (Please don't say trash Firefox unless that's categorically impossible and the only solution.) If I had more time I'd scarf the source and start Hacking. Please, someone offer a usable simple solution.

I have always been accessing my online banking or other sites using firefox, but about two weeks ago that has been made difficult, if not impossible. For some reason, I can not access my Bank of America account, but I can access my Navy federal account. Today I found out that there are a few other sites that I log into that I cannot access now. I have also tried to use a different browser, Microsoft edge and Chrome, but I still can no longer access these accounts, this was never a problem before. Can you help?

Firefox will not download anything from any website. Any time I try to access pdf, jpeg or what ever all I get is "download failed". I always need to resort to Edge to get it, ready to be done with Firefox. Any suggestions for someone who is only mildly technical? I have tried opening in Firefox and Adobe, tried saving instead, nothing works

disable pop=up sign-in with google prompt LAPTOP WINDOWS 11 FIREFOX 105.0.3 64-BIT 1. Over the last few days I have been getting a sign in with Google prompt on most websites I visit. Please refer to the photos. This looks identical to the Google generated promt, however in my Google account settings I have this option turned off. Is this a Google bug or a Firefox thing? With all the other annoying popups these days, this is just another irritation frustration to view a website.

I USE DEV TOOLS from FIREFOX TOOLS TO FIGURE OUT IF IT'S FIREFOX OR GOOGLE CAUSING ISSUE. HERE IS ONE OF 50 LINES RELATING TO GOOGLE/TWITTER/FIREFOX CONVERGENCE

(ALSO, I USE UBLOCK & LASTPASS)

LINE FROM DEVELOPER CONSOLE WHEN I OPEN TAB TO TWITTER LOG-ON PAGE:

20:36:03.881 Google Analytics and Tag Manager is being shimmed by Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1713687 for details. sandbox eval code:1:9

I DON'T WANT TO CLOSE THIS POP-UP BUTTON EVERYTIME I GO TO LOG IN AT TWITTER, IT'S NEW. I HATE IT. HAVE DELETED TONS OF UNKNOWN FILES IN MY USER FOLDERS TODAY, NOTHING HELPED (LOCAL/GOOG FOLDER & TEMP FOLDERS). MAYBE I NEED TO RESET SOMETHING IN CONFIG OR A REGEDIT SETTING FOR FIREFOX. I'LL DO ANYTHING. Thanks!
