URL Manager Pro not working well with Firefox

I use a program called "URL Manager Pro" on the Mac to manage my bookmarks in all my browsers. Double clicking on a bookmark icon in URL Manager can open the URL in a new tab, the same tab, or a new window depending upon how I set the preferences in URL Manager Pro. This works fine in Safari. However, in Firefox, the website opens in a new tab regardless of how I set my preferences in URL Manager.

The author of URL Manager tells me the issue is a problem with how Firefox deals with AppleEvents. It's very annoying to accumulate so many unintended new tabs and then manually close them. Is this fixable in Firefox or is there a work around?

Thanks

I have latest version of FF and MacBook Pro 10.9.2. Recently had major keychain problems and worked a lot with Apple to solve them. Now all is well but…. I am now frequently asked to enter my master password when I am in FF; they has never happened before. For example, when I go to Amazon, a window opens asking for the master pw. In some cases, this is not a big deal because I can cancel the request and my keychain will get me into the site. In other cases, my keychain does not work if I cancel the request for the MPW and I have to enter my access information. I asked Apple support about this, and they said to contact you.

So I understand this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/xframe-neterror-page and the reason it exists, but I need to find a way to turn it off because it's literally blocking me from accessing the Library of Congress webpage inside the same browser for my job. It's not a malicious site, but I can't figure out how to tell Firefox to stop blocking it as if it was a malicious site.

Help.

Screen sharing permissions in Google Meet

When using Google Meet in Firefox browser, I am only able to share my window, not my screen. When I choose "share screen", it says I must change my permissions - but my permissions settings have not changed and this is a problem I have started having only in the last few days.

I do not know where I am supposed to change these permissions settings.

I have checked my permissions in settings > privacy & security > permissions - there is nothing there about screen sharing.

I have checked my permissions in padlock > connection > more information > permissions and the only options I have for screen sharing are "always ask" (default), which is set. The only other option I have is "block" which is not set.

My Firefox browser is up-to-date.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

hello all,

I'm running Firefox 115.18.0esr For a month now, tabs have crashed constantly. That is, *every single tab* crashes sooner or later and usually it's sooner. It's making Firefox unusable.

I know my desktop is old and my OS is considered obsolete, but still, I'm a fan of Firefox and want it to work. I'm running OS 10.13.6 (which I can no longer update) on a iMac mid-2011.

Any advice much appreciated.

My MacOS is 10.13.6 (cannot go higher on this machine). Since update to 15.119.0esr, embedded map graphics are no longer showing. The map graphic sub-window instead shows "Sorry, we have no imagery here" in several places across the map. I am getting the same for multiple websites, including the location maps in Zillow.com . Google Maps works fine, and I think the problem is isolated to maps embedded in pages. Did not have this issue last week, prior to updating to 15.119.0esr. This is SO BAD that if it's not fixable, I want to revert to 15.118...

Hello,

I checked the troubleshoot and gave all the necesarry permissions on my Mac for Google Meet to use my screen (allowed audio, video and screen recording). Nevertheless, I cannot manage to share my screen on Google Meet. As shown in the screenshot, it offers the option to share my whole screen (I cannot select a window or a tab...) but for my audience neither this is working.

Could you please help me fix this?

Many thanks in advance!
