Hi, I've recently discovered that Firefox replaces the % with underscore while downloading file.

I've read that question: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/1439267 but there is no answer.

Is there a way to prevent that? I use a online tool I've made myself and the % is used as a separator.

How to keep or restore shortcuts when refreshing firefox?

Whenever I refresh firefox due to malfunctions with firefox I must take a screenshot of my 4 rows of shortcuts and manually re-enter all the information again for all of them otherwise some just reappear all jumbled and many are missing. 

Is there any way for firefox to keep my shortcuts and to restore them after refresh in the order and quantity that they were before?

Its so frustrating that I have to do this every time I do a refresh that it makes refreshing a chore more than a solution for the original problem/s.

Why is about:config network.lna.blocking false by default?

Per [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-personal-device-local-networ...] I was looking for Settings > Permissions > "Local network devices" but the option was not present.

Looking at about:config network.lna.blocking I found it set to "false" by default. Only after I changed this to "true" did the UI shows the "Local network devices" configuration option.

Why is this disabled by default? Isn't this a security risk? It seems like users should be notified by default and have the option to block these requests.

How can I or can I lock my desktop so that only tiles I select appear and do not change unless I change them? I have recommended stories turned off in settings and seemingly every site I visit and article I read shows up on my desktop to replace something I actually want on my desktop.

The current email on this account has expired and is no longer operable. It appears I still need it to change my email. It is not possible for me to receive any messages at [edited] @delhitel.net.

My current email is [edited] @protonmail.com.

I am trying to install WordPress and would like some assistance. But it appears I need to be able to use my current email address.

Could you please call me at [edited phone# and emails from public community support forum] at your convenience? Please note this as a land line and NOT a cell phone. Cell phones don't work here.

Thank you. Scotty Gladstone

Hi,

From time to time I can’t clear my Firefox history. I try from the menu, then within the settings, to no avail. I restarted Firebox and even my Mac, and the history remains. I used CleanMyMac to empty the cache and the history is still there.

My Firefox: 147.0.2 (64-bit) My Mac: Sonoma 14.8.3 (23J220)

Thank you for your help.

I am unable to log into my Microsoft account normally. After entering my username and password, when I should be prompted to enter the two-step verification code, the webpage only displays the message: "Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link."

To resolve this issue, I launched Firefox using the -P command to access the Profile Manager, deleted my existing profile, and created a new blank profile. After logging into the new profile, I first signed into my Mozilla Firefox account to reload all my bookmarks. Without waiting for the synchronization of bookmarks and extensions to complete, I immediately visited account.microsoft.com and attempted to log into my Microsoft account, but the issue persisted.

Strangely, I opened a new private window and was able to successfully log into my Microsoft account through it.

As the title says, when i go to about:support, and click the open profile folder, i wanted to install a customization to allow me to edit the default tab background, but for some reason i do not have admin privileges in that folder, i can't access anything, i can't edit anything nor create a new folder, even rename it. It says that my own computer does not have admin privileges inside that folder.
