What use to work in "about:config" to auto add prefix (www.) and suffix (.com) doesn't work in Firefox Quantum. Looking for what works. The "browser.fixup.alternate.prefix and suffix" are set to default, string, (www. and .com) Not sure if default is to apply or not apply. thanks

Been trying to open yahoo mail as I need it on a computer not on the phone. I use it every day plenty of times on the phone and laptop. Today I can't open it. Firefox says theres an update, so I download it. I then have to verify my firefox account with my email...of which I cannot open. Yet again another stupid update poorly researched and executed. No doubt I will be told its my fault because I dont have update 72.3.56.786 or install 234.3987.2 or some crap no one would ever know about

I'm on Fedora 31. Firefox was recently upgraded to 71.0 and I find a weird pattern in trying to open links from applications - possibly related to Slack:
If firefox was initially opened following a link from Slack, I can open other links from Slack, but trying to follow links from other applications (IBM Lotus Notes, or running "firefox URL" from a terminal window) fails with a "Firefox is already running" message.
If I open firefox from the desktop applications menu, the reverse happens. I can open links from Notes and a terminal, but following links from Slack fails.
I tried reinstalling firefox and slack with no success. Today I tried going back to an earlier version - firefox-70.0.1-4.fc30.x86_64.rpm - and everything seems to be okay.
It seems like something changed in firefox 71 that doesn't play well with Slack.

Presently when I open a new window Firefox opens it in the same tab. This causes new windows to hidden in, or hidden behind, a single tab on the far left side of the tab bar. I don't want this. I want to view all windows as separate tabs displayed left to right across the tab bar. There is probably simple preference setting to accomplish this but I can't find it. Maybe there is another setting or an extension that prevents what I want to do. Anyway I hope someone can help. Searching through my History trying to find a web page I want to return to is driving me crazy!

I am using firefox on linux (kde plasma) and when I go to upload a photo in a webpage I get the upload dialog but the thumbnails are too small to view which I really need for photos and there are no view options to change the size of them... This feels like a fundamental feature I'm missing... Is it possible?

When I go to 1.1.1.1/help for DNS over HTTPS confirmation it says DOH no. This issue started in Nov-26-2019 and is still not working for the YYZ area. My ISP is Vmedia inc and I am wondering if the problem is due there network as they currently Dec-10-2019 have a DNS problem.
If I go to other networks DNS over https is yes so I know it is not my device. Also if I check Firefox about:networking#dns TRR is true for all sites meaning DOH is working.
Is anyone in the Toronto, Canada area also having this issue?

Nothing seems to work. An appropriate plugin seems to be installed and, after downloading the latest version from Adobe, a retry informed me that Flash was already installed. Firefox does not agree. The download from Adobe informs me that upgrading is a 3-stage process but takes me no further than stage 1. This used to be a doddle under XP. You just found and ran the executable file in the Download folder. I can find no executable files in my Download folder. My current Linux version is 18.3 Sylvia. I am sure that this used to be handled automatically by Firefox updates in previous Mint versions. Now, however, it doesn't seem to matter what I try - whether using the Mint's Software function or going onto Adobe's download page. I always seem to finish up in the same place with the computer just looking at me and declaring that Flash is already installed. The Firefox Addons list includes Flash but nothing I do will get it working.

FF spellchecker dictionary periodically randomly switches to Australian

Firefox 70.0.1 on Mint Linux 19.2, though this has been going on for several months now with older versions of FF:
Periodically, at unpredictable intervals, Firefox reverts my choice of spellcheck dictionary (English US) to English Australian. In the FF Preferences i don't even have Australian as an option: i have only UK, US, and Canada. Nonetheless, now and then, FF will start marking the word "color" as misspelled, at which point i know that the dictionary has once again been swapped out. Right-clicking the misspelled word and selecting "Languages..." reveals that Australian is always, without exception, the one it's been switched to.
My system-wide language is US English. Nothing, on any of my systems, is configured to use Australian, so FF making this particular choice of dictionaries completely befuddles me.
The "troubleshooting information" which was automatically attached to this post confirms that i don't have Australian English activated in FF.
How do i keep FF from randomly switching dictionaries on me?

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1 In Preferences, DNS over HTTPS is Off. (I tried toggling that On then Off but nothing changed) In Privacy & Security I have Strict settings, though when Standard is selected the behaviour does not change.
I know that with DNS over HTTPS set to On that HOSTS is ignored. Not ideal but there you go. But with that Off Firefox did respect the HOSTS entries I have.
Something has changed?
How do I get Firefox to always use my HOSTS file before looking elsewhere?
Thank you

I am being frequently signed out of open pages on firefox as I am using them. This isn't a regular security settings/cookies problem, this will happen at random without closing the tab or page. The page will refresh or I will click a link to another part of the website and I will be suddenly signed out.
This started happening very recently and I can't point to any clear changes that would have caused it. Has anyone had this problem?

Hi,
For some reason, my Firefox theme and Search box options reset themselves today. There was no issue yesterday, and I have not updated Firefox, extensions, plugins or Windows or anything else since then. Bookmarks/Top Sites are all as before, and restarting my machine and Firefox made no difference. I also over-saved the search settings file in my Firefox profile, but that has made no difference either.
Any ideas why this has happened?
Thanks!
