I understand that Firefox has removed Dissenter as a plug in.
Why would this be blocked?
I think that it is wonderful to be able to discuss websites and posts, specially when most news outlets disable comments and one isnt able to discuss what has been said. Particularly when what has been said is dubious or questionable.
I love Firefox and have been donating each month to support this awesome platform for quite some time now, however, I am keen to get an answer to my question in order to reassure my loyalty.

When i close firefox it does not close the task, the process is still running. I have to manually close it every time with the taskmanager and i have no clue why this is like that. I already repaired firefox but this didnt change anything. Im not sure if this is a Windows problem or a Firefox problem but i think its Firefox because this error occur on a Windows 7 and a Windows 10 System.

Suddenly, following the latest upgrade, I can no longer hit <Enter> after typing a url into the address bar. Nothing happens. I have to click the green arrow at the far right of the address bar to make it load the page. This is a real nuisance. What happened to simply hitting <Enter>? Firefox 66.0.2 Windows 7

I think FF has done another update to 66.0.1 (64-bit) OS10.11.6 and now Logging in to secure websites like Santander and Youtube just hang. I use 1Password and Command\ doesn't work on this Mozilla site for instance. Plus as FF is my default browser clicking a WeTransfer link in an email has stopped working and just hangs in FF. My Add ons (which I've been using for years in some cases) are 1Password, Adblock plus, DuckDuck Go, I Don't Care About Cookies and IBM Security Rapport. Out of interest, why does FF need to keep producing such regular updates? It's a great browser but it seems each update comes with its own set of problems.
FireFox only restores last window I closed. How to get the content from my main window?

I received some good suggestions about how to shut down without losing whatever was on the main window, when I didn't know another window had opened. Use Ctrl-Shft-Q.
But I so use X without thinking, that I have lost another load of tabs (that I reconstructed partially--they don't all show up in history unless every one has been opened in the last session, something I never, ever do) by using the wrong means to shut down FireFox.
Isn't this something FF should address? I can't be the only person losing 30+ tabs and unable to get them back bbc they weren't actually opened, but merely sitting on the Tab Row, so not in History.
This for me is gigantic. And reminding myself to use Ctrl-Shft-Q really is a lot to expect when every other program and app closes reliably with X.
Thanks.

Well... The option to turn off content blocking on a site is missing, not there, invisible, gone, unavailable and or otherwise not reachable for me in the Control Center Panel that comes up when I click the shield icon like the many pages and levels of your support insists it is.
Finally figured out how to at least get here to try and email someone or thing capable of more than telling me its there. Please advise how to do whatever magic is required to retrieve this option.
And please pardon me for being a little short but I've been clicking on "contact us" and getting looped back to FAQ's for it seems like hours.. and oddly enough the answer never changed and the option to turn off blocking has yet to magically appear. I had expected to come to something like this page when I clicked on "Contact Us" at the bottom of the webpage as is customary.
Specifically the site Funimation.com seems to think I'm blocking them as no streaming content will play through my premium account now.
The only other blocking I have is Hostman (a custom host file utility which I can and have easily turned off).

Upon trying to add any extention it says downloadfailed check connection.. but im connection, nothing has changed.. no new software.. so why the random bullshit suddenly?

After Foxfox update 64.0.3 when I open Firefox my home page opens (Startpage) then theme font & size changer, Ghostery, and Adblock open in new tabs. Running Mac OS High Sierra.
I have completely removed Firefox and all addons using app clean and reload Firefox and my addons. I done the reset home page in about:config. This works until a reboot. I have tried to disable the addons and figure out if one or all is causing the problem. The three addons are displaying as if I were to download them again and reinstall the addons. I have run a malware problems with no problems.
I have another identical Mac that does not have this problems. I have been thinking about reloading software and do a clean install, but this is very time consuming. I have searched the web unable to find a solution.
In preferences my home page does not show multiple urls.
I did go back to my backup and load firefox before the 64.0.3 update and firefox ran with no problems.
Suggestions????!!!!!

Today for no reason all my saved passwords on my desktop Firefox browser have disappeared. Fortunately on my android phone they all still exist. I have tried to sync and on Android it confirms sync has happened but the passwords will still not show on the desktop browser. Only new passwords now entered are being recorded.
I have never had this problem ever and have done nothing today that would cause this to happen
I have the most recent FF 66 and up to date Windows 10
Any suggestions welcome please.

I keep gettting "FireFox has stopped working" dialog boxes, but when I click on the OK in the dialog box, everything keeps working as it should. So while something may have stopped working, FireFox as a whole is just fine, and the only effect is the annoyance of having to click to get rid of the dialog box every time it shows up. I've been waiting for it to happen so I could include a crash report that I knew for sure was for this issue, but it just happened, and there's no crash report line item.

I've done everything suggested and this is HUGELY annoying and hello = a bandwidth user?? (Yikes what about people who are limited on data?? HELLO Mozilla!)
STUPID stupid changes need to be fixed.
PLEASE give us the ability to STOP videos from autoplaying, NOT Just sound but ALSO the videos! It's RIDICULOUS.
Yes, I'm very frustrated. It makes pages take longer to load... it's annoying.... it adds to our cache... people DO have data limits.... and some of us just DO NOT want to see videos automatically start, whether sound is on or not.
Here's my settings:
media.autoplay.default;1 media.autoplay.enabled;false media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed;false media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground;true
And yes, in my settings: Block websites from automatically playing sound is CHECKED
But that does NOT stop the autoplay of the videos themselves.
This is an urgent and annoying issue. Google it - people are looking all over the place for this fix.
(and someone suggested in another post to change it to 2 - that doesn't work).
PLEASE either FIX this bug, or let us stop it in autoconfig, or - better - give people an open and up front HONEST OPTION to NOT autoplay videos, just like you have the ability to block from auto playing sound.
Videos MUST be in there too.

Adblock plus is not working anymore and my virus software is not allowed to keep me safe while using your browser.
Who da fuck thought that this new safety "feature" was a good idea? what bunch of muppets was sitting in the meeting thinking to themselfs "oh well... most of our users add-ons wont work anymore, but without actually giving them replacement options and a manual disable feature we will really keep them engaged in fun and relaxing search on the web for new ones.
this was the very best browser by a longshot for me for a long time because it did not present me with any feature that i could not turn off. now it seems the development goes to chrome and google and facebook style so i cant control all the feature anymore... if this keeps up i will sadly need to switch my browser and i am pretty sure others are thinking the same.
best regards in hopes that this safety feature will be gone soon

Apparently VISA (the company) has tagged Mozilla as a "fraudulent" organization and so my multiple tries to donate today have been blocked.
To fix this, they are disengaging my "fraudulent alerts" and that is the only way to get the charge to go through.
When I pressed my bank--saying that this doesn't solve the problem, there was nothing additional they said they could do. I really think you should take this up with Visa. This is very alarming.
Thanks for all your great work.
