Every time I start my PC, Firefox is open. I looked at Window “Start up” tab in the “Task manager” and Firefox is not listed. So why does Firefox automatically open? And how do I stop this nonsense.
My other choice is to uninstall Firefox and use a different browser.
Firefox insults my intelligence by assuming the only reason I turn on my computer is to browse the Internet. A computer can do many things. But, Firefox assumes I am stupid and only use a computer to browse the internet.
Again, how to I stop Firefox from opening every time I start my PC?

There are several posts on this site regarding uninstalling Firefox. I am running current Firefox on current W10 64bit 1903 desktop PC using Ethernet with Spectrum as my ISP. I am having a couple of problems in Firefox that are not happening in current Chrome. 1. Page-not-found 2-8 times a day that resolve every time by simply clicking the "retry" (or something close to that) button. I reset my router to "factory" and installed most current router firmware but that did not help. Netgear Support has been unable to help. 2. In current LastPass addon, I have to re-login to LastPass every time I start Firefox - did not used to do that (a year ago), and in Chrome or Edge that does not happen. I have re-installed the LastPass add-on. I have upgraded Firefox many times and have cleared history/cache many times. So now I want to COMPLETELY remove Firefox, reboot, and then install Firefox from scratch. Can someone please point me to the web page that tells me how to properly remove all of Firefox so that I can re-download/install it from the beginning? I do not care about retaining my Firefox settings or other from my current Firefox install.

Chrome and Safari resolve DOIs automatically - that is, typing a DOI in the address bar will effectively prefix it with https://doi.org/ and take you to the ensuing address - but Firefox does not do that. I have installed the Custom DOI resolver add-on, but cannot get it to work. Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to get Firefox to resolve DOIs?

When I visit the page https://www.costco.ca/vtech-5-in.-video-baby-monitor-with-2-cameras%2c-wide-angle-lens-and-standard-lens.product.100515489.html# the product viewer should have a few thumbnails and allow zooming the currently selected image. This is not the case for me. If I restart in safe mode it does work though.
I followed this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#firefox:win10:fx70 with no success.
Disabling all extensions and hardware acceleration, ensuring I'm using the default theme... the problem still persists in "regular" mode but isn't present in safe mode.
What else is safe mode doing?

What does firefox sync actually mean? If I google this, the only answer I is that it syncs your data between devices. Duh!
Let's say I have two devices and device #1 is the way I want both. So if I sync on #1, does it send #1's data to the cloud? Then I move to device #2 and want the same setup. What do I do? Sync? Does this download the previously synced #1's data? Or does it upload #2's data.
I this this is a reasonable question that no one seems to be able to answer.

I noticed that the secure URL padlock icon is now grey instead of green. This is intuitively wrong: it makes me think it's not really secure, so I found on another forum the about: config setting for this and changed it back to green. I have about 20 FF profiles across several devices, and these all share a common user.js file which I edit in a Dropbox folder and copy to all the profiles. I placed this setting into the common user.js file:
user_pref("security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray", false);
But it doesn't work. Do I have the syntax wrong, or is there another setting for this?

When downloading an (updated) file, i.e. a csv list, Firefox adds a number like "(1)" to the filename. How can I force Firefox to replace the file under the original name. The reason for this is that I access the file from a EXCEL Power Query pointing to the original name. In Chrome this can be achieved by an addon. Thanks for help

I hate it when a Bookmark disappears that is an important one and takes a lot of time to try to find it. I don't remember IE11 having this problem. This shouldn't recur. How can I quickly find a Bookmark folder titled "Glyphosate" that is a subfolder of a Bookmark folder titled, "Herbicides, Surfactants, Etc" in the parent folder titled "From Internet Explorer"? If I do a search for the word Glyphosate, it appears to find the individual bookmarks but if I hover over it or right click on it, no path is shown. So I have no idea where the Glyphosate folder is in my Bookmarks.
Thanks
Playing 1080p 60 fps video on YouTube is choppy after the update

I am a longtime Firefox user, have been using Firefox as my primary browser for more than 7 years. My problem is that after updating to version 68 and later, 1080p 60 fps videos in YouTube stopped playing properly. The audio works fine, but there are a lot of dropped frames. In fact almost all frames are dropped. I used to have Firefox 62.0.2, and then directly updated to version 68. Currently I run version 69. Please note that this problem does not occur with Firefox version 62.0.2 (I reinstalled it and checked the same). I noticed this problem only with 68 and later. Also, this problem does not occur in Chrome, or any other browser for that matter. Moreover, this problem is only with 1080p 60 fps, because 720p 60 fps or even 1080p 30 fps work just fine. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps mentioned in Mozilla Support articles, including clearing cache, disabling extensions, using safe mode, refreshing Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, using a new profile, and updating Firefox. None of the steps have worked. I ardently request someone from the Mozilla community to help me. This is the first major bug I've faced individually. If this is not fixed, I have to go back to an older version of Firefox till an update probably fixes this.

Я увеличила, потом решила уменьшить инструменты разработчика и уменьшила нечаянно настолько, что они пропали куда-то, теперь даже если включены их нигде нет и не видно. Как их сделать видимыми, вернуть на место? Прилагаю файл всего экрана, где видно что галочка стоит, а самих инструментов не видно, пробовала все приложения закрывать, перезагружать компьютер, но их нет и они не появились, не могу открыть. А я учусь на верстальщика и привыкла именно в этом браузере просматривать сайты, в других мне не так уждобно, нужно привыкать.

Good day. I know some people have had a similar challenge recently. And it appears they identified two video download tools. The only download tool I have is VideoDownloadHelper, which I gathered has had a long-standing respectability among FF users. Might there be some other option to remove this misdirect activity? I've run malware software and an MS virus scan. However, both suggest there are no little nasties hanging about at present. Many thanks!

Hello, I installed an add-on called "Restore Old Fast Theme of YouTube" from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restore-fast-theme-of-youtube/
But after realizing it wasn't the right thing for me I tried to remove it but it seems to have permanently altered my YouTube. I tried restarting the browser but it is stuck on.
How is it able to do this? I have removed it so it should be back to normal but it is not.
Thank you for any help

As of the recent Firefox update 67, we've been unable to upload photos to the Facebook Marketplace, with the photos just showing the blank wheel, and nothing actually happening, no upload progress being made, etc.
In addition, we're also unable to edit posts that have already been made in buy, swap, sell groups, with the edit box simply not showing up.
After some Googling, we've updated Java to the most recent version, and checked the other plugins for updates, and there are no adblocks that are interfering with Facebook as far as we know.
Any advice or help you can give would be greatly appreciated, since we are a small business and Facebook is one of the ways we use to advertise new products and get new customers.
