Does FF offer a setting to address the following two incompatibilities?

1. In the iCarol web app, as the user is approaching the timeout limit, in Chrome the browser tab flashes a warning. This does not happen in FF.

2 In the Diaplad web app, if the user needs to record a voicemail greeting, in Chrome this ability is present. In FF this ability is not present.

i have run this add on for as long as i can remember, recently whenever i open Firefox, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded every time, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded on the left hand side of the monitor every time. I cannot seem to get Firefox to open a new browsing session OR a new tab without the left almost quarter screen to show Bookmarks Search Plus 2 . How do i get this to stop? I have closed it and shut down FF and restarted, same result.

For the past several months I'm unable to Login to Mozilla Foxfire from my Desktop. The URL I'm using is: http://www.my.yahoo.com - it then switches to https://signin.att.com and I get the following message: "AT&T - It's not you, it's us. We can't complete your request right now, please try again."

Regardless how often I attempt to Login, it's useless. I'm obligated to go to Google Chrome to access my Yahoo Mail & Calendar. Have gone many years without a hitch, now this. As a long time supporter of Mozilla Foxfire I would appreciate any help y'all could offer. Thank you. esaviles@sbcglobal.net

OK let me start with this - I never thought that I would say this but I am truly beginning to truly HATE - I MEAN HATE FIREFOX AND MOZILLA. Here's why. For the past several months (4-6 months) I have been using a website and it crashes. The window that comes up after the crash states two things. #1, a crash log or report has been saved and sent. #2, Click here to re-establish connection to website. Now this has been going on as I have stated that this has been happening every time I use the website. NO ONE from Mozilla or Firefox has ever acknowledged receiving or trying to fix the crash log that is supposedly in your hands after the crash is reported. This has become really annoying. NOW, I have sent numerous email to Mozilla and Firefox asking for the help to solve this issue and what do I get ZIP, NADA, ZILCH as in NOTHING! Why is that - no one has time to deal with the crash logs that are supposedly being sent every time I get a crash?

Just a day or so ago I got an email from a Mozilla guy Wai Tse who said that he wouldn't do anything because he worked for Mozilla and not Firefox. He sent me a link that I opened and when I did it had MOZILLA AND FIREFOX everywhere. So now I am thinking WTF people - is this a personal thing? Am I not donating enough money to your calls for help and monthly to get a response to this issue that you are suppose to be getting information on everytime it crashes. I am giving up and trying to be nice and or patient with you since I have been ignored for months and months.

I'm sitting here thinking that once again I am just jerking off, no one cares no one is going to respond except for Wai Tse who can't take the time from his busy day and go one step beyond his or her job description and HELP.

When I open a pdf file it is automatically saved to my desktop, which is my selected location. I have also checked the always ask where to save files. In settings I have indicated I want pdf files to be opened by Foxit Reader. Other files set to ask open or save.

I also have gone in into about:config and set browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline to true based on a previous reply in this forum about this issue.

What can I do to stop the PDF files from being automatically saved to my desktop?

So I just noticed after downloading the new update to Firefox, version 139.0.1 that something new came up in my task manager called Crashhelper. Never seen this before. Closed it down and it seemed to have no issues shutting down at least. I haven't had Firefox crash in recent months, so I'm assuming that this cropping up might be a glitch of some kind? I looked this up to see if anyone else had this issue, and it seems someone on Reddit did encounter this, on Linux, and another on Windows also seems to have run into it. How do we stop this from coming up whenever we start up the browser?

I use duckduckgo page for search in Firefox. Hate my search terms hopping up to the address bar. How to stop this?

A previous search on this question came up with a solution which doesn't work, at least not with latest Firefox version (139.0.1 (64-bit).

I.e., type in searchBar "about:config"

   Accept warning
   Search "browser.urlbar.suggest.searches" and change it to false (Do this Only if you want to disable suggesions)
   Search "keyword.enabled" and change it to false
   Search "browser.urlbar.suggest.searches" and change it to false 

DOESN'T WORK.

I have a bunch of profiles set up via "about:profiles". Some of these are associated with different Mozilla accounts, some are not. Today, I wanted to rearrange those profiles to put some older profiles that I do not use as often lower on the page than more recent profiles. I thought I remembered there being an overview text file that included a number for each profile, the folder that profile's information was stored in, etc. When I went looking for that file, I could not find it, so I went looking for help articles and discovered that there is a new profile management tool.

When I tried using the new profile manager via "about:profilemanager", none of my current profiles are visible, so I cannot use that tool to reorder my profiles.

I would be grateful if you could point me to an article explaining how to reorder the profiles in "about:profiles". If that is not possible, I would appreciate a help article explaining the rationale for making these two uses of the word "profile" distinct, the ways in which these profiles are different from each other, and how to transfer settings from the older version to the newer version. I have everything set up just the way I like it within my current profiles and really do not want to have to recreate them from scratch...

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-upgrades SSA says Firefox will "upgrade" me, but their provided link doesn't go anywhere helpful. I tried doing several things I found on the help page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-upgrades "Firefox connection upgrades - HTTP to HTTPS ", but I still get this "Forbidden Access".

I have tried to contact SSA (left an e-message) and will keep trying, but my God, they were impossible to get by phone even before Trump and Musk cut everything, so I'm not going to even try that. Can you help me?

I used the CSS animation property called animation-timeline , which is written as:

element{ animation-time: view(); }

When I view the webpage on Chrome, Edge, Opera, and even on Phoenix browser, the animation works.

It is only on Firefox that the animation does not work. I even added the Vendor-prefix of " -moz-animation-timeline " to the CSS property, and it still didn't work on Firefox, while it is working on all other browsers.

The CAN I USE website ( https://caniuse.com/?search=animation-timeline ) tells me that Firefox does not support it at all.

It however said that I can enable it, by setting "layout.css.scroll-driven-animations.enabled" to true.

1.) I don't know what that means.

2.) Would my website's users be able to see the animation on their Firefox browser, if we assume that I make this setting ?

3.) I am using Firefox version 138.0.3 (64-bit) : What can I do to see that both I and users of my website are able to see this animation on Firefox ?

Regards.

Lately, whenever I try to open a PDF from a website open in Firefox, the tab crashes and the PDF does not open. An error stating that the Windows file-dialog has crashed is displayed at the top of the tab. I tried to attach a screenshot of the error but that action only generates another error.

This condition does not occur when I try to open the same PDF from the same website open in either Chrome or Edge, the PDF opens properly which leads me to believe the problem is in Firefox and not my Adobe installation.

Thank you
