If I try to drag and drop a new bookmark onto the bookmark icon (the star with the line under it), it USED to open up Bookmarks and I could place the new bookmark where ever. That no longer works.
I CAN drag/drop into a folder on the menu bar but not into bookmarks directly.

How to grant permanent access to Microphone granted from within an iFrame without being asked for permission everytime?

When I use my Microphone from within an iFrame, I don't have the permanent option. In Chrome it is possible though, and even when loading the Page, which containing the iFrame is loaded twice, the Permission granted for my Microphone is saved permanently. In Firefox, this is different. The Permission granted for the content inside the iFrame is only temporarily, and I don't have the option to give it a permanent Permission. If I launch the content of the iFrame as a standalone website, it is giving me the option to permanently allow this Permission though.
Is there any workaround or can you give me any Hint?

A week ago, when starting Firefox, the message 'updating Firefox . . . ' appeared before the progrom loaded. I've seen this before and it has always continued to load Firefox. This time, after some hard-drive activity, the program did not load. I started looking for support and chose to uninstal v72 - shut down my laptop and restarted it. I downloaded the latest version and at the end of install - where 'run firefox' is expected - nothing happened. I have since uninstalled and downloaded the latest beta version (73) - and now, when I ask to run the program, it opens a window but all the tabs are 'dead' and no matter what I type, the program does not connect to the internet (i.e. Google search or direct to a known web address). If I select settings, I can see the drop-down list - but if I select 'Add-ons' (for example) - nothing happens. I attempted to run my laptop in safe mode, but I have no recall of the password needed to get past the login screen. Is there anything simple I can do to bring my Firefox back to life?

When I select the "New Window" button or "Open in New Window" from the context menu, a new Firefox window opens - however, the toolbars are completely different from the original open window. Specifically, the URL location bar is missing.
I can add it back, but the change then modifies my original toolbar setup.
More bad behavior: Even if I modify the new window back to the way I wanted it, new windows opened from that window revert back to the modified version, with no location toolbar.
Can I disable the resubmit when I hit the back button

After submitting a form (say a search form) and then clicking on a link on the results ("action") page I wish to go back to the form page and change the form criteria. However, when I hit the back button Firefox always wants to re-post the form data before I can go back any further in the history. Very clunky. Is there a way to prevent this re-post and just have it open the cached page?
Google Chrome does this nicely by just displaying a page in lieu of the form's "action" page that gives you the option to re-submit or you can simply click back to go back to the form page. I don't think Firefox should force you to resubmit a form if you are just trying to navigate backwards through your history.
I used to get around this by using the split back button to choose the form page directly, but the FF4/FF5 default navigation buttons don't have this any longer (that I can find anyway).
Is there an about:config setting that will prevent this forced re-submit?

I was a beta tester for Firefox 4, but I want to stay with stable releases that are compatible with my plugins for now. Each time I start Firefox 4.01, it pompts me to update to beta 5.0, which it refers to as an important security and stability update. I believe 4.01 is the most up-to-date general release, and I'd like Firefox to stop prompting me to update to a beta.

From time to time the personal security code entry matrix on my online bank's website will not accept all of my code's 6 digits. I can't remember now whether this was happening before I installed version 4.0 or whether it started then. The point is it hasn't always been a problem.
I've only just installed version 5.0 so have not had the time to see whether it has inherited the same glitch.
I do not have this problem with Safari.
My bank, Société Générale, tell me that other Firefox users are experiencing the same problem, but can offer no help other than to observe that it is clearly a Firefox problem.
