When I zoom pages, selecting zoom text only, the lines start to overlap on each other (please see the attached image), How do I change the line spacing please?
I also need to change the default font to be Arial. But it doesn't work for sites like Google and Facebook.. their font type do not change. Is there a way to force my preferred font please?

Hi,
Thanks to Mozilla for continuing to develop such a clean browser, with movies made of GIF instead of much larger files.
So we have developed an extension or add-on for many years using the same method. But recently ( maybe I forgot ), with a new developer profile, I am unable to edit any files because the .xpi extension in the extensions folder, is compressed and cannot be navigated in a file Explorer.
In the past, I just install the extension and change the file extension from .xpi to .zip, and then extract into a folder with the same name. Then delete the .xpi/.zip folder, and the new folder acts as a pointer for the same instance of installation. And I can just modify the files in that folder usually and I don't need to restart the browser to see the changes. But lately I cannot do this.
What is the best way to debug the add-on with the least number of steps?
Thanks,
Josh

FF spellchecker dictionary periodically randomly switches to Australian

Firefox 70.0.1 on Mint Linux 19.2, though this has been going on for several months now with older versions of FF:
Periodically, at unpredictable intervals, Firefox reverts my choice of spellcheck dictionary (English US) to English Australian. In the FF Preferences i don't even have Australian as an option: i have only UK, US, and Canada. Nonetheless, now and then, FF will start marking the word "color" as misspelled, at which point i know that the dictionary has once again been swapped out. Right-clicking the misspelled word and selecting "Languages..." reveals that Australian is always, without exception, the one it's been switched to.
My system-wide language is US English. Nothing, on any of my systems, is configured to use Australian, so FF making this particular choice of dictionaries completely befuddles me.
The "troubleshooting information" which was automatically attached to this post confirms that i don't have Australian English activated in FF.
How do i keep FF from randomly switching dictionaries on me?

I already have signed up for Firefox Monitor. I therefore do not need it my tips and tricks alerts. There should be a check to not send people a tip or trick that they hae already enabled.
There should also be an option to disable that trick if you are not interested.
I want to be notified about new options and options I might consider because I might look at it later and so have not actively disabled.
The first one is a must though. I saw the tip. I enabled it. Stop fecking nagging me.
Cheers, Bode.

After a recent automatic update my old problem with Firefox Quantum came back. Every time I open Firefox browser I get multiple 4-6 firefox.exe running in the background processes. When I go into details and try to end process tree it crashes my browser. When I open Firefox it starts all over again. I have gone into about:preferences and
De-select ‘Use recommended performance settings’ Set Content process limit value to ‘1’ from its default value
I have also gone into about:config and switched browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false. Still have the same problem.
How do you specify Firefox 'open file' location?

We have the latest Firefox running on our terminal servers on Microsoft Server2012. Each users session has been restricted from accessing any local resources on the server including the c:\ users folder. When opening a file associated with an application I notice Firefox sends the file to the local server drive and the users cannot open the file I have already set the download location to another folder but this gets bypassed by the open with option. Is there any way to force the tmp downlead to another location such as a mapped drive?

1) I have my old previous.jsonlz4, recovery.jsonlz4 (and its .baklz4 counterpart), and upgrade.jsonlz4-date files backed up and copied into a separate folder
2) The problem is that after renaming one of my copies sessionstore.jsonlz4, closing Firefox, and deleting the present sessionstore.jsonlz4 file; when I try to put that candidate file into the profile folder (the main profile folder, not the sessionstore-backups folder)... Firefox ignores the file I placed upon being reopened.
I have also tried deleting the present sessionstore.jsonlz4 and sessionstore-backups folder entirely and substituting my files, but this merely results in a greyed-out 'Restore Previous Session' button

When a web interface offers image upload options, Firefox 70.0.1 on Windows 10 does not offer up any regular jpg or jpeg file extensions. All I get by default is that weird jfif format, together with png. What's that all about, and how can I fix it?
Image uploads work fine if I choose to display "all files", but something's amiss with the filtering there.
On a related note, Firefox used to save regular jpg images in its own Save Image As dialogue as jfif files too. I had to teach it to do this in jpg instead. Might be a related issue?

Hi all,
On some sites (I think it has something to do possibly with code snippets because these always display incorrectly) Firefox is showing this illegible font as per the screenshot. I've also attached a Chrome screenshot to show how it should be displaying. I have not been able to find a fix online for this. I have done the suggestions of clearing cache, checking font settings etc that I could find in the options, but made no difference. Please could anyone help? It's driving me mad because I can't make out the font at all!
Michael.

Hi
Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)
Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.
Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks Dave

At the end of each day I select "history" and "delete recent history." Then I click the "today" tab and execute the delete (I keep a small number of older cookies because I want them there, but I want everything added today to go away). But not all of the cookies from today's activity are being deleted. Why is this? How can I fix it? (I am using Firefox 71.0 on Windows 10. My only plug-in is U-Block.)
