I have removed Search engines I do not need. However, when I do a search (using address bar set up to do searches) I do not get a drop down box showing the engine I would like to use. I have tried using the Search window & an option appears to change Search engines but not to select the Search Engine I want to use. Also Google Maps fails to complete. The map momentarily appears & then the page goes blank. These haves only occurred since 68.0.2 upgrade.

IN REFERENCE TO THIS ISSUE: A new Tab automatically opens and says, "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app"
"This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In."
If Firefox is closed, it will Open, and then open a new Tab and it will have the above information about Google. ______________________________________
I have asked for Help in this matter and am unable to receive any specific help other than a response i.e. "check your Add-ons". I solicited help from Firefox, Google and Apple and as of this minute, 8/19/2019 @ 2020 hours, nothing has been offered. I tried the Help/"Restart with Add-ons Disabled" and every five minutes, a Tab Opens with;
"Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app"
"This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In.".
I restarted my iMac, closed down Firefox, and left my iMac go to Sleep, (the screen goes black, the Sign-in screen appears requiring my password to allow my computer to become active again) overnight and the next morning I signed in and found Firefox Open with 140+ open Tabs with the Google warning on all Tabs. While writing this question 10 new Tabs have opened with the Google statement appearing on each one.
Please be specific if you respond to my request for assistance. I thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, when I'm logged in a website I would expect to see some kind of cookie from this website (session cookies) when I click in the list of cookies somewhere in the Security & Privacy options.
This seems to be not possible any more. This is for me very confusing because there are times when one is interested in navigating a website anonymously and I cannot be sure if I'm logged in or not.
Why is this? I think in previous versions sessions cookies were visible?
How to separately delete each entry of the same web-page ?

I wanted to know as to how can I delete "only one entry" or "entries at a different point of time" of a particular web-page from the Firefox browsing-history ? Currently, to my limited knowledge, if a particular entry in the browsing-history is deleted, then all instances of that web-page are deleted from history ; e.g. if I visited a certain web-page of YouTube on 1st Jan, then again on 20th Jan, and then on 30th Mar, but wished to remove the last entry - I would right-click that entry in the "Library window" and select "delete" and that would result in all of the three visits getting wiped out. I am sure the features of "most recent visit" & "number of visits" are useful for many but like I explained before, combining all entries in one creates a bigger problem of hampering the flow of recording one's activities (even if it helps reduce RAM usage). Currently, this is one of the main problems that I face while using Firefox (for over a year) and always forces me to go back to Chrome (where extensions exist to properly manage history, but are not available for Firefox because of fundamental differences in both programs, while the current Firefox add-ons regarding history are all useless). If anyone could properly guide me out of this problem, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

I used Linkedin and some other website on Firefox. Different with installing 68.0.2 directly, I cannot login on these website automatically even I have save the password.This problem only happens on the Firefox which was upgrade from 68.0.0. This problem also impact the ajax response in some addons I am developing. For example, I cannot ajax some website for login information.
Could you please help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much!

Hello. Google and Mozilla recently blocked the government certificate in Kazakhstan. And what about Kaspersky Lab? The Kaspersky products are already banned for use in the U.S. government.
There is also information that the Kaspersky laboratory is cooperating with special services. After all, Kaspersky himself and his colleagues are former employees of the KGB high school. This is not a secret or speculation, but well-known information.
I recently installed kaspersky internet security. Then I decided to see the certificate in many browsers and saw it https://imgur.com/a/o4B0HG0
It turns out Kaspersky decrypts the traffic. It automatically installs its certificate. Root certificate. https://support.kaspersky.ru/common/compatibility/14620 Now all my data can be compromised. What is it if not MITM?
Maybe you should block this certificate like Kazakhstan?

Recently, there has been a frequent occurrence of Firefox crashing without warning. There is no day that doesn't crash. This phenomenon suddenly occurred frequently about six months ago(Maybe before more). I thought that it originated from a PC, but it is presumed to be different because other PCs have become frequent. Does anyone have a similar situation? To be honest, I'm not professional, so I don't know what caused it. I tried safe mode, but the result is the same. And the report transmission screen is not displayed in most cases.

Login to the New York Times is in a permanent loop. You login in the usual way, and the page loads without logging you in. It tries to sell me a subscription when I already have one. I have already cleared the cache and cookies and suffered having all of my websites broken by Firefox forcing us to re-login to everything on the web over and over because we have to go through the ritual of clearing cache and cookies over and over because Firefox is always malfunctioning. I have already permanently disabled "hardware acceleration" and have done all of these multiple times, numerous times. It's undoubtedly Firefox built in security devices that are causing this block. Chrome does not cause this, but there are other reasons not to use Chrome unless I have to, which is what I now have to do because of Firefox hyper-intrusive "security" software. If I could disable all the security bloat in Firefox, I would do so. It's just impossible. It does on month after month, year after year. We are prisoners of these device builders!

On Firefox (68.0.2) for Mac (OS 10.14.6): for the past month or so, most (but not all) Youtube videos give "If playback doesn’t begin shortly try restarting your device" error.
Videos play with no problem in my other browsers.
I have tried restarting in Safe Mode and the problem persists. Autoplayback is on. I also tried unchecking "Use hardware acceleration" in preferences, which had no effect (so I turned it back on). Clearing the cache has no effect.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Cleared Cache, Cleared Cookies, Forgot Site Booted Safe Mode Refreshed Firefox Deleted .sqlite files for cookies Wasn't able to find any button for disabling Content Blocker in this version of Firefox but since everything was default, I doubted that was the issue.

I'm starting to think it has nothing to do with Firefox. Everything seems to be up to date. I have Windows 10 and a Graphics Chipset Radeon (TM) R7 M445.
Things I have noticed:
When I open task manager I notice I have multiple sessions running...more than the tabs I have open. Is there a way to limit sessions to what I have tabs for?
I hit Ctrl + Shift + E and switch to performance. When I record performance while visiting these sites my FPS drops tremendously. Some of these sites are unrelated to Youtube. Gmail is another site I have the large FPS drop.

I tried entering a code into the verification box, but got locked out for security purposes saying verification code I inserted was incorrect...but I know it wasn't. I tried several times with same result. I am trying to download Firefox on a new computer and want all my previous settings intact. Also, in the verification code, how can you tell if Firefox wants you to insert a "zero" or an "O" as they are identical. I'm grateful for any help I can get. Thank you.

Hi, I package software for my college. I use Altiris (Symantec Management Agent) to deploy Firefox. I keep having a problem where Altiris will have the updated version of Firefox, and then a minor update to Firefox is released and it breaks Firefox. Like right now we have 68.0.1 packaged, and 68.0.2 just came out and Firefox automatically updates to that. Firefox won't work when Altiris installs 68.0.1 because of the detection check looking to see if Firefox 68.0.1 is installed, but it doesn't so it installs 68.0.1. Firefox then says that I'm using an old version and need to make a new profile and I lose my bookmarks, internet history, and logins. We would like to prevent this from happening.
