My setting to have all pdf's opened with Adobe Reader keeps changing. It keeps going back to "save file." I don't know if Adobe updates break this feature but it's a real annoyance. I usually don't notice until I've clicked a pdf link - nothing happens - I click it a few more times and then find a bunch of copies on my desktop. I'm on a network at work and don't have any pdf plugins that would interfere.

I uploaded my music video on Facebook. When I play the same video 720p over Mozilla and Chrome the results are totally different. Audio quality on Mozilla is much worse than Chrome. How to fix this? On Chrome the audio is more crisp and it's the same like on my computer recorded audio. On Mozilla audio is muffled and poor quality. How to fix this?

Hi
There is a quite massive bug in the whole History function of the browser - if you visit a page for the 2nd time, it will remove the previous entry from the history completely and replaces it with the most recent date and time... which kind of removes the whole point of having a history database in the first place...
Plus! There should be a default option in Firefox that keeps the whole history forever, not to delete all the previous history after 6 months, so that you shouldnt have to look up more addons to fix this very important issue (and then even hope that the addon actually works or wont lose anything after updates....)
so this should be fixed ASAP...
Persistant browser resizing and moving on restarting firefox

For months (maybe 6-8), every time firefox restarts for whatever reason, the browser windows always change in size, shape, and location. The "default" size always runs off the edge of the screen, which means they aren't functional as-is (whatever's off the screen obviously can't be read or otherwise interacted with). It also tends to consistently move windows to the left, so they're stacked right on top of each other (messily) instead of being spaced out.
I can and do resize it, but it's a complete pain to do so every single time... especially since I use cascading windows to let me navigate between windows easily, so the oversize and overlap means I can't easily access several windows until I do resize and move each one. Since my task bar/desktop is unreliable, I can't use the icons or shortcuts pull up windows unless I can actually click on them on the screen - this problem is outside the scope of the question, of course, it just explains why I cannot find a workaround.
Since firefox usually restarts when updating or other automated restarts, which triggers the windows to change size on restarting, I tried manually resizing the windows and then manually shutting down and reopening firefox to see if that would "save" the new sizes - this was a catastrophic failure, it failed to save or open *any* of my windows, showing no recently closed windows or tabs in history and no previous browsing sessions. And I do have it set up to open previous windows and sessions, I went through and double checked *every* setting after that. I did have session sync going, so I could save some of it - but only some, since session sync fails to save the history of any tab (to show previous pages) and I often stack several related pages in one tab to organize. I have turned to using automated shutdowns (forced shutdowns through the task manager, etc) since I at least won't lose everything that way.
I also tried (based on searching for possible solutions) disabling the window resize line in about:config (from here: https://codeyarns.com/2011/03/25/firefox-disable-window-resize-or-move/) which did nothing
I am tearing my hair out over this, any help would be really appreciated.

I am resurrecting my single biggest pet peeve with this product. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1203518
I know I can drag from the "I" in the address bar to my desktop, however as I mostly work on a laptop full screen (old blind guy) this is just not a user friendly approach (shrink the window, move the window, drag the url, resize the window). I do it a number of times a day. It's annoying.
I know all the other options like book marks and top sites. Not the way I have worked for over 20 years.
There is a whole section of actions for a page in the right click menu of the tab. Please add "Save (Send) shortcut to desktop" to this action set; or implement this in any other manner that suits as part of standard.
Quick Cut is a stab but does just not work right.
Please vote for this with the "I Have This Problem Too" button.

I can not login to my twitter account using Firefox browser on Win7. I used to login to my account using Firefox. I've not added any addons recently. I have not changed any preferences or settings recently. The only changes were Firefox updates.
But I can login to my account using Chrome browser.
I have cleaned all browsing history, cookies using both Firefox and CCleaner. I have tried Firefox in safe mode, all addons disabled. No difference. I have two addons installed. I was using them for years. And I don't have any plugins installed.
After clicking on 'Log in' button I am redirected to a page with the following message: If you’re not redirected soon, please use this link. I click on the link and the same page with the same message reappears.
Stop remembering exceptions

I'm using a laptop to configure network devices using their GUI interfaces. Depending on our needs, etc. the connections may be via http or https. AND this condition may change in the midst of preparing a device with new firmware or with a new configuration. It seems that if a device (by IP address) is accessed via https and then the access mode switches to http, it's no longer possible to connect at all. This makes one believe that the device has "bricked" and starting all over is necessary. If the same thing happens again, no matter the procedure, it becomes most time-consuming AND frustrating. It could result in the device being RMA'd or retired. So this is a serious matter.
I have learned that settings can be undone by clearing them. But this is a not-so-often procedure and is a deviation from real work.
Is there a way to have Firefox NOT remember exceptions so that http OR https will work more or less directly when tried on the same IP address?

I have purchased a HP 25F monitor. Since I have used this monitor I realized i get massive flickering using Firefox. The flickering only seems to appear when on reddit (lesser so twitter and even less on youtube) while scrolling/using videos. When I hover over the video to preview future scenes it REALLY flickers fast and hard. This issue occurs nearly instantly or within one minute and then continues. The only solution I've found is to disable hardware acceleration. This flickering DOES NOT occur on chrome for the limited time I've been using it (1 hour and maybe more now unfortunately)and does not require hardware acceleration to be disabled. This issues also DOES NOT occur while on my old dell monitor or my very old tv. Any ideas or help? Chrome is so much slower and worse than firefox and I do not want to have to use both browsers nor return this new monitor! Thank you.

All this talk of syncing & duplicate bookmarks doesn't explain what happened during the last update of Firefox Quantum (64-bit). I don't have multiple devices, so where are all these bookmarks & empty duplicate folders coming from. There are a bunch of bookmarks outside of the folders they were in AND inside the folders they're in. What the heck happened? Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox? This is a mess, and I really don't have time to read through a gazillion links trying to rectify this issue. I've restored my bookmarks to before this latest update occurred, and it seems to be making things worse. Mozilla needs to post BIG FAT FLAGS when they make a major change to this browser. I would've never let this update install, had I known what it was going to do.
Because I embed folders inside of folders, all the loose ones used to belong inside of folders, and some didn't. Now, I have tons of them where I can't find which folder they were in, because they were embedded. This is really bad, whatever Firefox has done.
Again, 1 computer, 1 device ... WHAT IS IT DOING or syncing to? I'm not using some Add-on to fix this, because an Add-on didn't break it; the last update did! I do have Add-ons, but unless this version is incompatible with them, I have no clue. None of them are bookmark Add-ons anyway. I shan't Share Data this time, because I really don't want people poking around & pointing fingers at my Add-ons. I'd rather be shown how to go back to the previous version, than keep messing around with incompatibilities when Firefox keeps changing. Developers can't keep up with all these updates that come through every other month (it seems). Please and thank you.

pretty much what the sign says, its now 2am, and I still can't figure out what happened . firefox, or should I say just my internet browser launched, and when it did it was entirely different. bookmarks go, auto sign ins gone, preferences, pretty much everything. I had to synch my cell phone, and I am not looking forward to what it did to my phone which is only for work, if it screwed it up. any one source guide explained this surprise attack by mozilla firefox to change their softare on friday night, because I am somewhat tech savvy but I need the instructions.

I'm running FF 65.0.1 64 bit on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. As of a few days ago, whenever I try to print to any of my printers (HP Laser Jet, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Foxit PDF Reader) I get "An error occurred while printing". I can print from other programs - Word, Internet Explorer, etc. I have another PC also running Windows 7 Pro 64 and the same version of FF and can print to these printers OK.
I have tried the various suggestions in other posts: resetting printers, safe mode - up to and including removing FF and reinstalling it. Even with a with bare install and the default profile, I still can't print.
Any ideas?

I signed up to Firefox for the first time last week. I wrote down password at the time, everything seemed to go smoothly. Very next time I tried to sign in said password was not valid. Sent request for e-mail to be sent to my inbox several times but have not received anything. I had to create a new account in order to ask for help from support. That is fine I'm just unsure once I leave browser will my history add-ons and settings remain as I left them? I will try to sync my browser before I close it. Hopefully that will resolve issue, any advice or suggested steps before I close browser would be appreciated, thank you.
