Without explanation or my consent, Firefox will occasionally download a .htm file into Downloads in the browser. Today it was WjZ510Su.htm

This has been happening randomly for a few months. What are these files? Without knowing what they are, I always delete them. A screenshot is attached (see upper right corner). Thanks.

I created a one column spreadsheet with 91 entries in Excel. Then I did a "save as" and choose CSV (comma delimited). One the receiving website, I chose "Browse for file", selected the CSV file I juts created and clicked "Upload". I got an error saying it wasn't a CSV file and could not be uploaded. I tried it again (same file) using Microsoft Edge and it worked just fine. I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and got the same failure as before. I'm running Windows 10 ver 22H2. I really don't want to use Edge. Is there a fix for this?

The discord web app detects my microphone input, but it does not detect the output. I've tried troubleshooting my earphones and using the device speakers. I've also tried checking the windows sound system, the browser permissions as well as clearing cache. I've gone over this with the discord staff and they said that the firefox team would be able to handle the situation better, as the problem does not persist between different browsers.

Hello, I'm looking to stopping **ALL** website Pop Up Notifications--NOT just selected ones. I've already gone to Privacy & Security-->Notificatications. This is feature is totally pointless. This feature assumes you repeadily go to the same singular site that causes pop ups --not random site you visit. I did check off the button at the bottom "Block new requests asking to allow notifications." My issue is NOT, NOT seeking to block "permissions" (I have never seen or been asked by Firefox to 'allow permission for website notifications')--I'm seeking to stop ALL website pop ups notifications that intrusively just appear at the lower right corner. I don't understand why there isn't a single button to stop these intrusive and annoying pop up pushes??? It's a no brainer. I hope you can help with a solution. Thank you in advanced.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_FUTURE_RESPONSE. The page you were trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.”

Using Ebay, I can simply no longer view "sold/completed" items (not talking about my own items). I've been using Ebay and Firefox for many years. Just recently it does not allow me to see the sold items. On my wife's computer (right along side mine) hers works. I contacted Ebay, they say the problem is not on their side. I tried using another browser and it does work correctly. - I do not want to switch from Firefox as my main browser. I even uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it but got the same result. Can you help?

If I had multiple FIREFOX windows running, and closed FIREFOX down (not the multiple sessions, but the FIREFOX window) when I reopened Firefox all the sessions would start back up, even if I rebooted the computer. My HD failed, and now with the new system, I'm back to one Firefox opening with the home screen. How do I restore this feature?
