For instance, saving a webpage from either Firefox or Google Chrome (same problem with both, but NOT with IE), when I highlight the link, it says (at the bottom of the folder where the link resides), "Internet Shortcut." but instead of opening into my default (Firefox) brower, it opens to a Print prompt, as if I commanded the link to print. There is no right click option to OPEN WITH when I right click on one of these corrupted links. This is really a nuisance. What can I do to fix it?

This is a 2019 bump to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1221476 .
Firefox renders text incorrectly. It uses DirectWrite, which is incorrect, it should use GDI to render text. In all the next updates please immediately rewrite the Microsoft Windows renderer sourcecode to render all text with GDI.
Updated via PortableApps to ver 68 and all of sudden Now have an enterprise policy applied. How-to can I disable the policy for My Personal FireFox ? ?

I usually use and update my PortableApps version of FireFox, that runs from my Thumb/Flash drive, at the Public Library network's workstation due to my use of their facilities for research. The Library uses this same version of FireFox on each of their workstation, too. About three weeks ago, PortableApps indicated that FireFox had an Update to version 68 ready for my copy of FireFox to use. I accepted to update My Personal copy of FireFox to this version while using the Library's workstation running Windows 7. Now when I startup my personal copy of FFox from my PortableApps Flash drive, I immediately noticed that INSTEAD of showing the Home page that I had chosen many years ago and was still using, it had changed to the Library's selected Starting Webpage, as if I was starting FFox or Chrome from THEIR installed software ON this workstation (please see -- the attachment showing the Grayed-out selection about the Home Page). I have contacted PortableApps via IRC and they confirmed that they do not effect the installation of FFox other than install upon the logically identified drive as the target device. They felt that there was some background process running and this process might have applied an Enterprise Policy file to this installation process. They then suggested contacting Mozilla's support. I would like to properly address this change and also see what other preferences may have been affected. I have posted this Question due to having been hurt by using a Generic solution (in the Past) described for a similar but not the same issue (i.e. How to Disable the Enterprise Roots Preference). Reading a bit further, there seems to be two methods of accomplishing this type of control (MS's - Group Policy -or- a policy.json file). In the meantime, I thought that I would seek Mozilla's Support more specific advise and help. I find this VERY annoying considering, I am using my personal version of software and they Only recently ( after using their network for years ) affected my copy without ANY notice posted on their network of this type of change for my consideration. My benefit to the use of a my personal copy is to be able to save found sites to My - Bookmarks/Favorites. Otherwise I would not have this ability, but with notices, I would have found either other public networks or methods to have this functionality years ago.
I hope that someone may have a better process of figuring out how and what to do to in these types of situations. Also what would be the best way to protect an otherwise operating Browser - Say backing up, What ! ? Prior to making changes ? Thanks ahead of time !

The Bookmarks toolbar order of links as to how they appeared as I had on my Windows 10 computer Firefox changed a few days ago from what I had long had, and now when I try to put in back in order I want, it keeps changing as well. I have Firefox version 68.0.1 on the WIN 10 device. Only other thing I've done in past few days is set up a new iPad from my old iPad, and I have/had Firefox on the iPad too. Is that iOS device somehow taking over my WIN 10 Firefox version? Can I recover the order I had? Can I make the WIN 10 version the master?

Ever since the new update, I can't access the emojis until I go to my system preferences. It always allowed access from the Menu Bar under Edit. Now I have to access them from my System Preferences which is located on my Dock and requires many steps which are a huge inconvenience. I know it sounds silly but it shouldn't be like this and never was. Safari still has theirs in the Menu Bar so what happened? Did this happen to everyone or just me? lol

Suddenly I can not login to my bank account. Neither in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. In Firefox, a connection time out, the server is taking to long to respond appears all the time after several minutes waiting. I can login to others websites like ebay or facebook with no problem and I can login to my bank using my mobile app. It is just the bank and is aggravating. Contact bank tech support they said they don't have any problems with the webpage, yes they don't have but I have! I clear the history, the cache and the cookies but still have the same problem.

Is there some add on that password locks this from happening?
My reason for doing this is because I have lots of younger relatives who use my laptop sometimes to play games. I want to make sure they are safe on the internet and not messing around with key settings.
Thanks in advance!

The Not Responding issue with Firefox browser appears to becoming worse. The Activity Monitor indicates the issue is unrelated to CPU or Memory. Cache clearing and system restart usually prove ineffective. A Refresh Firefox Browser seemed to make the problem worse. Despite ticking all the boxes in Firefox Data Collection and Use, no crash reports are produced or sent to Mozilla. (Apple reports are lodged after Force Quit) The situation has become untenable as the browser has slowed and can freezes sometimes on opening. Any help resolving this would be appreciated as I prefer to use Firefox over other browsers.

Hello, title states the issue. I have checked the sound mixer in windows and Firefox is not muted. I have uninstalled Realtek Media Codecs (no sound on the same video with or without). I have CCCP codec pack installed but am unsure if that works with Firefox. FireFox is up to date I have tried disabling uBlock Origin and the other plugin Imagus and still the same result. This is a new PC with a 3900X cpu and have had this issue since installation Looking at the "stats for nerds" the video that has no sound playback is using the same codec as the one that plays sound. This video has no sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agZ0xISi40E This video has sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O37yJBFRrfg

When I'm active in the RDP session, FF has never crashed. But when I exit the session and log in later, the Crash Reporter is reporting FF crashed. I've had 10 crashes this month. I have not tested in Safe Mode because I don't know how to test. I don't want to Refresh because I'll loose all my settings (hours or work). I was hoping someone could make sense of the crash report. Here's the three most recent submitted ones: bp-1dd0e0c0-985d-47c8-a017-ad9710190724 bp-1171b044-d27c-43d9-bd70-949720190722 bp-1d15d3c6-fa58-4f27-affa-0908a0190716

I forgot my password so I reset it. The mozilla said I HAD to link my phone so I typed in my number clicked the link that i received on my phone, installed mozilla on my phone, went back to my mac and the screen says enter phone number to complete set up. So i enter my phone number get a new text (the app is now already on my phone) do i click open and it's fine. I close the tabs on my mac open mozilla and it says please enter phone no to complete set up. It's an endless loop and now i can't use mozilla on my mac which is what i wanted in the first place NOT on my phone, also very annoyed that it insists I have mozilla on my phone. Surely that should be my choice!! Anyway I'm now very frustrated and annoyed and I can't find a way out of this loop which also pisses me off

Something has gone seriously wrong with FireFox in the last couple of months. In addition to pages sometimes taking up to, and more than, 10 minutes to load, extensive web searches for answers turn up only unhelpful responses, some referencing pages from Mozilla dated as far back as 2013.
There are a number of heated discussions about this _SERIOUS_ problem on other forums, often making assumptions about malicious motives such as google intentionally throttling access to google apps when they are accessed using firefox.
Just prior to this post, I opened both FireFox and Chrome and clicked the same bookmark for Google Docs in both browsers as simultaneously as possible ...Docs opened in Chrome in less than 5 seconds, but FireFox took over a minute to open the same page.
I use both Windows and Android versions of FireFox and the problem exists on both platforms.
fwiw, I did reset the FF theme back to default and that helped a bit, but I have to observe that FF is currently unusable in it's current state.
I do not want to switch to chrome as I have been using this product since it was originally released as NETSCAPE decades ago, but I feel like I have no choice.
Mozilla leaders, PLEASE acknowledge that there IS a serious problem and work with loyal and experienced users to determine what the problem is and how to address it.
Again P L E A S E !
