Bitdefender keeps telling me it has blocked api.faviconkit.com. How can I permanently remove api.faviconkit.com?

I asked this some months ago, and the thread was closed as one response was "selected as the solution", although it sure wasn't me who selected it, as it wasn't really a solution.

I can't understand why the Windows menu shows us all the open windows, in no order whatsoever. Not chronological or alphabetical, just random placements, making finding anything a dizzying & time consuming experience, as I have to look up and down each & every time. I don't know of any other browser that gives no option as to how to sort this list.

I don't care if it's chronological, or if sorted alphabetically, which technically it is. However, it's in the order of the specific tab title, not the website's name, which is of little use, since how many of us remember the title of every tab we've opened? We remember the website, which is far more relevant, since we may only briefly glance at the exact title of the page. I don't know why there could not be the option to sort it via the website name, as the Task Manager is sorted that way! Just do the same with the Window menu, and quit making life harder on your users... it's not rocket science.

2 days ago I had all my bookmarks perfectly in my browser and today when I opened firefox today, all my bookmarks were just gone without a trace, this never happened before at all, and even when I uninstalled firefox and reinstall it the bookmarks would still be there, how can I get them back?

First, I am not tech savvy. I deleted my browsing history but, I see a new list of recently searched places. It is listed as Firefox suggests: then identifies my desktop and recently searched websites that are no longer needed. I want to be able to delete these tabs, or whatever they are called.

I keep landing on this page on a loop after I have used my Gmail account to sign in. Somehow it keeps looping. I select "Continue with Gmail" and then choose my already signed-in Google account. But it takes me to the same page I started with (attached below). What am I missing here?

Hi.

Whenever I click a button on the keyboard, the CTRL+F function comes up on it's own. I had previously disabled it because it ruins all shortcuts on youtube and with tourettes, I often also get thrown around if I am reading long articles, because of misclicks.

Unfortunately I did the big mistake of updating, also with a tourettes-missclick, so my question is: 1) How do I remove the 'quick'-search function? I want the Ctrl+F bar to come up ONLY WHEN I CLICK ctrl+F, and I want it to go away again if I click ctrl+F again. I forget how to do it. 2) How do I remove all future update prompts? Given that it has been made so hard to configure firefox into something tolerable, I don't want to throw all my setup away with minor updates always thrown at me. It takes me a long time every time there's an update, I have to fix language and other stuff back again. It's just not worth it in time for me to use Firefox, if I have to make a setup so often. 3) Recommendations for the best version of Firefox to go back to and stay in for eternity, alternatively, browsers that does not change or add functions without first asking the user... (The answer is no, by the way, I don't want more new fancy functions)

Sorry for this nagging but I simply can't use my browser like this. It's just not working.

I encountered a Problem since the last update. When watching a Video on Youtube, the Playback is flashing, especially on green and red colors. I did see some People mention a similar issue years ago, so I followed the same troubleshooting by disabling Hardware acceleration and all extension. The Issue keeps persisting I am browsing on a M1 Macbook Air - no other Browser on my System has that issue. Here is an example with Screengrab https://imgur.com/a/EFrzzAD

I'm belarusian and I'm using belarusian, polish and english languages on internet, also I have somehow russian language??? I can't delete It from my language preferences, how can I delete russian language from my language settings fully?

I'm getting the message Device simulation changes require a reload to fully apply. Automatic reloads are disabled by default to avoid losing any changes in DevTools. You can enable reloading via the Settings menu.

I've looked through all the settings, searched for reload and still found no way to enable this. Googling it brings up answers from years ago that are clearly out of date. Where can I currently find this setting?

One particular website no longer works with Firefox. https://www.familysearch.org/mapp/ I had no problems with this website until a couple of weeks ago. I can use the website with no problem on other browsers. I have tried a clean re-install of Firefox and clearing cache, but still the website does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks John

I have a really niche case which there's probably no solution for but I want to ask just in case:

I'm happy with the behaviour of Firefox opening PDFs as it does currently except in one case: eBay shipping labels. When I buy a shipping label on eBay it presents two buttons: one is open and one is download. When I click download it both downloads and opens in a new tab. I can disable Firefox opening PDFs to stop that but then that affects my experience every time I try to open a PDF everywhere else.

Is there some way that I can stop Firefox from opening PDFs but only when they're opened from links that look like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ship/single/api/label-service/label/4049d9b7-5563-47e9-b181-6d0f50a6101e/download?printable=true&pageFormat=RAW&useImageFormat=false&attachment=true&consumer=LABELUI_SINGLE

With regular tabs it only states " The proxy server is refusing connections

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com.

   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working."

and on private tabs/other browsers it makes connection already have no proxy enabled

It seems the new VPN I installed was causing the problems using Firefox and also my WiFi connection.

I have uninstalled the VPN and everything seems to fine now, with WiFi connection and Firefox

Thanks for the previous support that was provided

Their homepage says - "Firefox’s most recent update (v.115) is having issues playing the livestream. NPR Digital and Firefox have stated they are investigating the issue. In the meantime, we recommend listening with another browser (e.g. Chrome) or device (e.g. mobile app)." Will there be a fix???
