I looked for a way to remove apple maps from being the default Map when I search using Firefox on windows 10. Its not helpful since half of the info isnt listed and I would like google maps instead like it had always been.

Please explain in simple terms (I am not an IT wizz) how I can stop the continual popups in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 78 on a Windows 11 OS saying “Update Available” with a Download button very easily activated by mistake.

Each time I click Dismiss, a new popup appears either immediately or very soon. The popup blocks a significant area of the screen and will not move.

I already have Update Settings on “Check for updates but let you choose to install them”. There is no option to “Do not check for updates” on these versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. I already have Windows 11 Notification Settings on “Do not disturb” and all Firefox notifications to Off.

I have found the Mozilla Support article “Customising Firefox using Group Policy” at  https://mzl.la/3bLnw2J but I do not understand it and the device I am using is not part of a group installation setup. 

There is a Step by Step guide “How to stop Firefox update notifications” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD-oXxrCCRs . This is clear to follow if I pause it frequently to absorb each step carefully. Is this safe for me to try given that I am very inexperienced in using the command line and accessing registry etc?

The Thunderbird popups have only recently started up and I would value advice on how to stop these safely too. I need this version of Thunderbird at present for particular reasons related to gmail so it is important I do not accidentally activate a download on that.

I wanted to sign in to my google account but the link under logging in is towards a help centre question about clearing cache. I can in no way log in to my google account on firefox.

THe link that it sends me to is https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?hl=en&passive=true&continue=http://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050%3Fhl%3Den&ec=GAZAdQ

Printing a pdf feature cannot scale up. Independently from the choice of file or printer, printing at a scale more than 100% does not change anything. Unfortunately this extends to the "Fit to page width" option - attempting to print a document with pages smaller than paper size produces an unscaled, small document on a part of the page.

I keep getting the Virginia Pilot news stories for another area of Virginia - I have unsubscribed and turned off pop-ups and I'm still getting it every time I open Firefox.

I'm new to firefox and recently tried their chat bot side bar feature. My only problem is once I've added the sidebar/show side bar tool to the tool bar it only displays the chat bot after I turn the setting on and off again. When I close the browser and reopen it, the sidebar button becomes a bookmark button instead. I'm just wondering if there's a solution to this where it only opens the chat bot? Or am i stuck with opening and closing the chat bot feature so it shows up when I click the menu bar shortcut?

I lost all my bookmarks. I tried all recommendations to repair without success, and decided to accept it and start again yet am unable to add bookmarks now - hitting the star doesn't work.

I refreshed firefox, deleted and reinstalled.

I keep getting the error message "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because..."

When I try to restore I keep getting error message "Unable to process the back up file" - doesn't matter what date I choose.

What the hell has happened? I've had so many links and pages saved - now all gone...!!

A single click in the address bar highlight the entire URL. How to prevent such behavior? Also many web sites try to manage selection and cursor position of input fields. Is there setting to completely prevent such behavior everywhere?

reason: It is really easy and fast to triple click or press Ctrl+A on the bar/field if it really necessary to highlight. But usually I just want to correct mistake in the cursor position and automatic highlighting just preventing me from doing what I want.

For about two months, video quality has been persistently low for me on Youtube. Quality options are limited to 360p and I am unable to change it. Additionally, I am unable to play video on other platforms such as Vimeo, Pinterest and other streaming sites. Sites return errors such as 'Player is unable to play video at this time' or error code 102630. I have refreshed my cache and reinstalled Firefox and neither have resolved the issue. Notably, this issue does not occur on other browsers such as Chrome or Microsoft Edge. As far as I know my drivers are up to date and the Windows Media Feature Pack is installed, although it shouldn't be an issue seeing as sites work on other browsers. The issue also persists in troubleshooting mode. I've gone through the console and included images of some interesting errors that might be of use, although I don't have the technical knowledge to know what they mean. Please inform me if there is any other information I can provide that would help. Thank you!

I lost my bookmarks on your update. Also my short cut list and the settings on the main page. I can not understand your directions which just take me in circles. Please provide some simple instructions on how to recover my bookmarks and short cuts.

This has been a very bad experience,

Hello, I am a web developer and I love your browser very much because it is an excellent environment for developers and provides me with all my needs

Of course, I use the features of modifying the CSS on the web page for my own project, for speed, while transferring the modifications is annoying and takes up my time, so I would like to ask if there is a feature that enables me to save the modifications to the current file or the CSS file of the page.

I hope that this feature will be added

The Firefox Sync system is really neat for keeping our booksmarks synced across devices, but what I would also love to see is the option to sync all settings as well, including the changes made in the "about:config" settings.

Across my years of browsing I changed quite a lot of small little things and having to track all of those down every time I set up a new device or reinstall windows can get a bit tedious, so I was wondering if those settings can also be included in the Sync settings somehow - or if such a feature might be planned for the future?

Fire Fox (Mozella) browser appears to be censuring content? In Fire Fox, when I read Fox Digital, I cannot see the comments any more when I’m signed in nor, signed in or not, the display boxes containing X posts and links. In the Federalist articles I can get the comments when I’m signed in, but the X content in them are not displayed. Comments in Yahoo are missing too. I tried changing Browser Privacy settings in Fire Fox, turning off my VPM, ad blockers, and tracker blockers but it does not correct the problem. All this content is available in Duck Duck Go and Edge browsers. Perhaps I have something I’m not aware of turned on but… Here’s two links to check out in Fire Fox then another browser.
