I have several devices which run different systems. Whenever I sync in Firefox, Linux Firefox always syncs with other Linux firefox or Mac Firefox. Windows systems would have another set of bookmarks and user data. My windows devices cannot sync with firefox on other systems. Here's part of my error-sync-1575631489638.txt

Change Firefox's default fonts (not just the "default font" setting, but really and truly, for all writing systems)

I want to change the default fonts in Firefox. The problem is that the "Default font" setting doesn't really do this. Going to the "Advanced" dialog shows the truth: for every single writing system, the entries are
Serif: (Default) Times New Roman Sans-Serif: (Default) Arial Monospace: (Default) Andale Mono
I want to change which fonts Firefox uses for these "(Defaults)," and I want those defaults to apply to every writing system. Going through every writing system and individually changing them - for every user on the system, mind you - is not an acceptable solution. I didn't see anything in about:config. There is a default, and it needs to be changeable somehow. How?

Hi, I have Firefox 68 (andoid) registered to Firefox Sync with all my credentials. Now I installed on linux Firefox 70, enabled sync for my account but credentials are no more synced. I think it is an issue due to a old Firefox account, created when there were no Firefox Lockwise.
I followed the migration guide but probably I was not able to understand the procedure: I
- disconnected sync on all my browsers
- sign in again from my android device with sync using the same email (I've read that is possible)
Help please!
PS: I tried to install Firefox Lockwise but credentials are empty for my account, despite I forced manually sync from my android.

Adobe Flash plugin disabled after adobe update

I use Firefox Quantum 68.2.0.esr bundled with CentOS 7. All was ok until an Adobe update flash-plugin-32.0.0.293-release.x86_64 @adobe-linux-x86_64 was pushed out. Since then adobe has disappeared from the installed plugins list as well as OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. is now disabled. I have tried reinstalling flash-plugin from the Adobe repository alas its reported as already installed. I have even tried a fresh install but no difference. The only way around I have found is to install 32.0 r0 plugin file being the most recent working. Updating again results in removed flash again.
Please can this be investigated.

The current situation, since upgrading to version 70, causes me angst. Websites ask for permission to send notifications, and now I can't put it off, I have to decide immediately if I want the notifications, or to send them away forever. Even if there may be some way to reverse the effect later, I do not like at all having to make a decision that has some apparent finality about a website I do not know yet. I can't bear the question looming over the page, either, but as it stands, all I can do to make it go away is to click one of the two entirely unacceptable options. I don't want such a final decision on every random site I come across. I want to go back to putting it off until later. Please tell me how to make this stop!

Hi, whenever I want to download something, Firefox shows me a Opening window. If I mistakenly select the "Open with" button, a file is downloaded to my /tmp/ directory and then opened with an application, which takes a huge amount of RAM for stuff like iso.
The another thing is that it's very annoying and takes a lot of time if you want to download many files from many websites. You have to manually choose save file for all the files you download, and the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" option is greyed out.
Is there a way disable the "Opening" window and just download the files I wish to download?

Sometimes when I start firefox there is no option to restore the previous session, and the 'restore session' option in the menus is grayed out.
This tends to happen after I've had Firefox closed for a longer than a day or two.

With amd HD 4200 graphics chip:

After setting webgl.force-enabled true, webgl1 works, but no webgl2.

The ff tarball from mozilla org extracted to /opt shows same behaviour. It should work, but it seems to be looking for fglrx when open source driver/mesa is installed.

Basically I have Never Remember History enabled, and each time I open FF there's data in 'Cookies and Site Data'. Under 'Cookies and Site Data' it will say there's a bit of data (in the photo is says 16Kb, which is pretty typical). If I look under 'manage cookies and site data' there will be nothing there. Sometimes the cookies or cache or whatever is bigger if the last time I used that profile I was watching videos, at most it will be a couple Mb's maybe. If I wipe it out, it will go to 0Kb, and then for the rest of the profile session, even if I have a bazillion tabs open, it will say 0, but then there's always a cache there the next time I start that profile.
What is it? Why is there always a small amount of data in the 'Cookies and Site Data' section each time I restart a profile?
I'm currently running version 68.2.0esr on Debian Linux version 5.3.0-1-amd64. I use uBlock Origin 1.23.0 and uMatrix 1.4.0 and Canvasblocker 0.5.14. I have web history turned off ('Never Remember History'), trackers blocked, cookies enabled w/ third party disabled, auto search engine update turned on, Do Not Track enabled, 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' enabled by default (b/c history is off). I might have changed a few tiny things in about:config but nothing I remember. Any other system info I can look up in need be.
I'm sorry if this is a repost, I've tried searching for a bit.

I tried to download some item I bought off Humbundle, I could only download 1 file, and nothing else. The page has a Bulk downloader, in this case, select the PDF box and download all the files that are PDF on the page, lets say 20 without counting.
1 will download, I click the individual links and nothing. Refreshing the page, I can download 1, and no more.
All the files were torrent links, though I doubt it matters Personally I don't see how a third party download tool would help, even the linked responses and original question were not related.
Using firefox 70 on Linux Mint
On a unrelated note, I do hope that this is not a forum where you must logon and check it daily, after creating this, I found an older submission I had forgotten about with several responses, I wish I had gotten an email letting me know I had a response.
This is the response I got from Humblebundle, this is included because I know the first response will be it is not firefox it must be the site.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble.
I believe this is an issue of your browser blocking multiple download from the same site. I have attempted the bulk downloader myself on Chrome and had success with the bundle you mentioned, so that is the only factor I believe may be holding you back. There is an article regarding this issue for the Firefox browser here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1163075
Installing that add-on may help you correctly download the products in question.
If you continue having trouble, let me know and I can discuss this issue with my team further. We may not be able to provide an immediate solution, but we can hopefully address this issue in future updates to this feature.
Kind regards,
-Finn Humble Bundle http://support.humblebundle.com/
