Always when I start my computer Firefox opens and I don't even have Firefox installed on my PC. I can't see the tab but it has a weird description. Has anyone encountered something like this ever again??

Plain and simple it's impossible to get Firefox Quantum to increase font size or magnification size and *stay that way* either between restarts of Firefox or when another tab is openend. Addons and plugins don't work, instructions for how to hack it are all over the place. Me? I'm moving all my bookmarks over to Chrome which in spite of all the controversy makes it a breeze to increase font and/or magnification size and keep it that way.

Hello,
What does (raced) mean in transferred elements? Seems to me the browser is getting the item from the server even though I've set a cache for jpeg and png files. Other similar items are locally cached as it should.
Thank you,
Firefox 67.0 (64-bit) Linux: tls handshake fail

As of this morning, I am unable to access many of the sites I visit regularly and am now unable to conduct aspects of my business. The error is always that the connection timed out, the website isn't available and the tls handshake simply stops.
I can't even reach https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/firefox/67.0/ because of this handshake. That's kind of ridiculous, isn't it?
The issue doesn't affect all websites, but unfortunately it's the ones I need. I've created a new profile, refreshed Firefox, reset my modem and router. My ISP says the connection is fine on their end.
Firefox is the only browser I have access to on my desktop. Google Chrome, which I don't want to use, works fine on my Android phone.

Flash player is either screwed up or something else - or Firefox is blocking videos. Having experienced problems (videos just sit there or won't load at all) I've just uninstalled Flash Player and am attempting to reinstall a new version - but it won't let me. Seemingly there's another version being loaded - but no way can I find that or know what's happening, so I'm stuck.
The whole thing stems from my inability to watch any videos on Firefox - not even YouTube, BBCi LiveLeak clips or even porn. Yesterday everything went well but today I can't even see gifs on Imgur. What the hell is happening? Why is Firefox blocking me?
What of Microsoft stopping support of Win7 beginning Jan 20. Will this affect use of Firefox going forward?
Will Mozzila change support efforts regarding Win 7?

The current update in Firefox has NOTHING to do with me. Nothing that is added or fixed has anything to do with my system or how I use the browser. (This happens FREQUENTLY) I am getting NAGGED by Firefox to install it. (Settings are be notified about updates, I choose when to install). .
I always check and read the detailed release notes. I REALLY resent being forced to install updates that do not relate to my system or what I do in any way!
Please Firefox, PROVIDE OPTIONS to SKIP updates! This feature/option is LONG LONG OVERDUE! Make it so!

Once again, Firefox is making multiple processes in the task manager. I've already set both browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 and browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false, yet I still have multiple processes anyway, and setting the content process limit to 1 doesn't seem to do anything. I'm using Firefox version 68.0 and running Window 7.

I have been through numerous support pages and nothing helps, did a few about config changes as listed but still it appears. One post said it has always been there, I can assure you I never had this before and do not want it now. Is there any way to stop it please as I hate it even though just clicking removes it, I would prefer not to have it in the first place

I know most people are trying to stop location services permissions, but I like letting sites like Yelp, etc, know where I am so they can use "current location." I have tried to use the privacy settings to add websites that I allow location permission, but that part of the site doesn't work for me. I can't add any websites in the box. I'm very smart, but I can't figure this out. I need a super intensely simplified step-by-step lesson to figure it out. I've been trying for 2 weeks on my own and am ready to dump firefox for chrome, where I can allow location permissions very easily. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello, yesterday I tried to install an update on my computer that caused the computer to shut down. When the computer restarted my settings in firefox had changed (although I don't think Firefox updated or anything). My search engine options are now just Bing, Amazon, and Ebay. I know how to add more search engines. I went to the preferences page->search-> find more search engines. But when the list of available search engines comes up, google is missing. There's search google images, google translate, every other country's google you can imagine, but default US Google is not there. Where did it go? Why can't I find it?

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.
Is anyone else finding that new (as of couple days ago) Firefox isn't displaying embedded fonts correctly?

I have an embedded font on my website that I use for the header, and it displays fine. I have a development copy of the website on my hard disk, and that displayed fine too until Firefox 68.0; but now it uses the second font in my list, instead of the first.
So: some bug in the code of the copy on my disk, I thought. But when I open it in Safari, Chrome or Brave, it displays correctly.
The W3C CSS validation service finds no error in the code.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

With 68.0, I see that in order to manually sync, I now have to hit the three-bar menu button at upper right, THEN select my account, THEN do Sync Now. The second step used to not be required. Minor inconvenience. Why was this done?
Also, to what extent is sync automatic? How do I set it up to be automatic. If it is automatic, when exactly is it done? Is it done continuously, or just when I exit FF?

I have Win 8.1 and just upgraded to Firefox vs 67.0 64 Bit which is, and has been my default browser for years and now can't open links in Outlook 2010.
I don't use IE so why would that even help?
I had no problem with the links in vs. 66...so should I go back to an earlier version, and is that even a selectable item(?) and from some of the responses, that didn't even help.
Logically, I'm leaning to go back anyway to earlier version but was hoping someone can provide some info that CAN AND WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM...any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks
