Firefox Support Forum

How can I set my location in Firefox. I know better than anyone on the web where I am located, and Firefox is locating me hundreds of miles away, so I just want to set the Zip code for my actual location. Thanks for any advice! -Harry

I have read hours of Q&A about this problem here in this forum before posting, and cannot find a solution.

Until very recently, whenever I would click a link in a page, it would "Open in Firefox" in a new tab. Then after reading it or printing it or whatever I wanted to do, I could click the download [Fx98PDFviewer-DownloadButton] button if I wanted to save it, and an Explorer would open up allowing me to select where I want to put it and what I want to call it (if I wanted to change the name it comes with) before downloading/saving.

Now, when I click a link it just downloads (even though most of the time I don't want that). Despite all I've read, I've tried a dozen settings, and I CANNOT get that behavior back.

If I set the browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to False, and select "Open with Firefox" when it prompts me, I can't get it to STOP prompting me. It prompts me EVERY TIME, even though I have checked the box repeatedly for "Do this automatically for files like this from now on"

And yet it is STILL downloading automatically when it opens for viewing in the new tab, and I am forever now cleaning and deleting crap out of my downloads.

I have my default PDF reader set to the reader I like, and when I'm NOT in Firefox, I do NOT want to have to right-click and select my preferred reader each time.

But when I AM IN FIREFOX, what I need it to do is

- Open in Firefox, in a new tab, 
- DON'T prompt me, just do it, and 
- DON'T download it, unless if I then want to keep it I click the download [Fx98PDFviewer-DownloadButton] button.

HOW CAN I GET IT THIS BEHAVIOR BACK PLEASE?

Trying to use ProctorU with Firefox 104.0.2 on Windows 11 Home, and I am getting the following message : "Monitor Count : You may only use 1 monitor during your exam. Your monitor count could not be found". I searched for possible fixes, and someone mentioned removing fingerprinters, and possibly also remove cookies and tracking content from Firefox enforcement. I removed all 3 and that did not help. I also tried clearing cookies and site data and also cached web content, this did not help. Is there some other setting in Firefox that might be preventing the detection of the monitor count? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Firefox will not download anything from any website. Any time I try to access pdf, jpeg or what ever all I get is "download failed". I always need to resort to Edge to get it, ready to be done with Firefox. Any suggestions for someone who is only mildly technical? I have tried opening in Firefox and Adobe, tried saving instead, nothing works

I deleted my Secondary Email from my Firefox Account so I could use it on a new seperate account but when I try to Sign Up it tries to log me in instead and says I can't sign in with a secondary email. I there a set time I have to wait before I can reuse the deleted email or will someone at Mozilla need to fix this for me ?

Hello. I have just installed Windows 11 and have a problem with the Firefox browser that I didn't have with Windows 10.

On the Talk Radio website: (https://talkradio.co.uk/), there is a "Listen Live" button which, when clicked creates a popup window for their Radio Player application. Under Windows 11, the window pops up, but is empty (this was fine under Windows 10). I tried this with Edge and it works fine.

Could someone look into this please? I don't want to have to use Edge.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Is there a simple way to get rid of duplicate toolbar folders? The two add-on that you have in the list don't work anymore. Can you put a "remove duplicate folders" in toolbar commands? Thanks for your help and interest.

Since updating to Windows 11, every time the browser closes there is a crash report. The browser is working as normal in most sites, but not all, but that maybe down to the apps not liking Windows 11 as well.

In a new installation of Windows 11,loading a Bing app for background pictures resulted in Bing hijacking Firefox making it impossible to start Firefox. I deleted the Bing app with no effect, I want Firefox back!

Just booted up a new laptop with Win11 and installed Firefox - had been working normally, but now I can't get back into the browser menu or anything else on that menu/url bar. On opening a new window, I can click and view the menu, but within a few seconds it vanishes, but the button remains highlighted as though it's still open, so I can't re-open it.

I'm running v95.02 (64bit) on a Dell G5-5500 with 16GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 with 6GB RAM with Windows 11 (v10.0.22000)

On many occasions (several times a day) Firefox simply goes away without warning... sometimes after several minutes on a page. Sometimes in GMail, sometimes Facebook, sometimes other sites... there does not seem to be a particular pattern.

Is there a hidden log somewhere that I can send to you to help resolve this issue?

Thx!
