I have been a user of a particular website for awhile now. it is thingiverse.com . This website continually tells me that I need to disable my pop-up blocker in order to download a file from their website. 1. I DO want to download from their site. 2. I have not got the pop up blocker enabled on firefox 3. I do not have another pop up blocker enabled on my computer. 4. If I use a Microsoft Edge to get on the web, I can download from that website. 5. I have tried to actually enable pop up blockers on firefox and then say the pop ups are fine on thingiverse.com and that doesnt work either

6. I don't want to use a different browser to go on that website but can't figure out what to do.

Please offer any kind of insight you may have.

Thanks so much.

Firefox version 106.0.1 Windows 11pro. Youtube videos will not play, unless they are Live. Weird. Checked internet. Loads on phone, loads fine in Edge. Restarted FF, cleared cache and cookies, tried private browsing, started in troubleshoot mode with no addons-- even the ad video at the top won't play. What else am I missing? Why will the live videos play but not the others? That seems like a clue, but I've hit the end of my ideas. I was able to watch youtube two days ago, the only change (afaik) is a Firefox update this morning.

After installing the new version 106.01, restoring recently closed windows in History doesn't work even though it is highlighted as being active, but nothing shows or happens when pointing at and clicking on "Recently Closed Tabs".

(I accidently closed one of my two windows and therefore lost all my tabs.) (I know I can restore the tabs one by one, but that will be a huge task.

So what can I do to restore my lost Firefox window?

Thanks in advance. Jens Giertsen Denmark

Youtube constantly drops frames playing 1080p60fps videos and the experience feels overall choppy. This behavior doesn't happen in other browsers such as Chrome and Edge. Moreover, this doesn't happpen in 1080p30fps videos, but since I cannot change the fps of each video in Youtube, I'm stuck with 720p in 60fps videos.

Greetings all I am a long time Chrome user trying to make the switch to Firefox. Mostly I love it, but one of my biggest roadblocks is Google Drive and Google Docs.

I'm very much a don't-take-your-hands-off-the-keyboard kind of guy and so I am heavily invested in the Google Docs menus and I have all the common menu commands memorized. (e.g., Alt-F, R to rename the current Google Doc.)

The problem on Firefox is that when I press Alt-F, I get the Firefox menu, not the Google Docs menu. So I have to resort to clicking the menu with the mouse instead of using the keyboard shortcut. Not the end of the world, but annoying.

Is there anyway to configure Firefox or Google Docs so I can use the Google Docs menus? Is there any sort of Add-on that would help with this?

Thanks Calvin Powers

When I synced my phone with Firefox Windows desktop and iMac, the IP address stated was different to each of the IP addresses assigned to each of those devices and the location was different (estimated) even thought the name of the devices was correct. Should I be concerned by this? I have attached the email from Firefox re new account sign-in re new device pairing, which shows the incorrect IP address and incorrect (estimated) location. Thank you.
