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

I'm trying to switch to a new desktop. IT guy claimed to be a Firefox expert, but, when my password didn't work, he changed it without getting a recovery key. My old setup still exists on my old desktop and my laptop. Is there any way to save what's on either of those two computers so that I'm not starting from zero? I have literally been brought to tears at the thought of saving all those bookmarks and passwords manually. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

duplicate of /questions/1274577 thread.
When you move your mouse cursor on the tab area to select a tab, it happens quite often that the Mac menu bar opens automatically and covers the tab area, thus preventing you from opening the tab (see the screenshot).
This is a rather inconvenient issue with Firefox for Mac.
For example, in Chrome for Mac, there is a vertical gap on top of the tabs to avoid this effect - see the screenshot. Or in Safari, tabs are located below the address bar.
Is there any solution to the issue?
Firefox updated and it took my tabs off the bottom and above address bar
Dang these updates that do this. how to move tabs back below address bar? I know many people are tired of this problem!

I have noticed some new behaviors of a website for which I am responsible. The behaviors started some time in the last six months or so. I just noticed them in the last week when I updated the website. The website is https://281connections.us/ and I am using using Firefox 71.0 on Ubuntu Mate 19.04 . . . Question 1 When accessing the hosted site, the script that toggles the menu to drop down is ignored (https://281connections.us/# ). (Using a Chromium browser, I can get the script to run by telling it to “load unsafe scripts”.) The script in question is run in Firefox without objection when the same code/site is invoked from files local to my machine. I can not find a setting in Firefox to allow the script to execute when invoked from hosted source. I have tried an assortment of settings changes, but can’t find anything that works. Can you help? Question 2 Javascript that runs a dynamic page (https://281connections.us/281connections_Wiki/South_Dakota_Families/Bates-Moodie/Fan/DynamicFan.html ) runs just fine using Firefox and the hosted website. However, when invoked on local files, it does not run. (It presents a large circle, but never fills it with information.) Is there a setting that will allow me to see dynamic page when invoked locally? (BTW, the behavior is identical using Chromium for what that is worth.)
Last note - disabling extensions does not affect the behaviors noted.
[Thanks for your consideration.]

I have an Office 365 personal account. When attempting to use FF to log in to One Drive directly -- meaning, I go straight to the One Drive login page via bookmark, and do not attempt to enter One Drive via a "side door" such as a link on Outlook.com -- I encounter significant latency and, often, outright non-responsiveness. Last Pass will not autofill the login credentials; nor can I type them in directly with anything other than crippling latency, if at all. Same latency with password and 2-factor entry. If I am able to survive log-in, One Drive presents significant lag to clicks, often accompanied by fleeting clues in the lower-left corner of the screen, usually involving cryptography such as "waiting for cdn-15 office.net . . . " or something similar. Often the word "Excel" or "Word" will be displayed in one of those messages, but they are so fleeting (and appear to be truncated for display) that I can't capture them completely.
Switching off extensions appears to have no effect. The lag and general unresponsiveness continues.
Interestingly, when I instead log in directly to Outlook (and not One Drive), and then move into One Drive via a One Drive link that is presented in the Outlook waffle button, then One Drive appears to behave promptly and normally. No lag issues that I can determine. (Also, with all FF extensions=true, login and use of Outlook is satisfactory. No problems that I can see).
The Windows One Drive app, which runs on the local system, also appears to function normally. I can see/modify files in my One Drive via the local app. That's groovy, but sometimes you need to see the file system in the web browser.
So I guess that's the workaround: Get access to One Drive by going *through* Outlook. Okay, but why? What's going on? How to fix?
Thank you.
