I'm on Fedora 31. Firefox was recently upgraded to 71.0 and I find a weird pattern in trying to open links from applications - possibly related to Slack:
If firefox was initially opened following a link from Slack, I can open other links from Slack, but trying to follow links from other applications (IBM Lotus Notes, or running "firefox URL" from a terminal window) fails with a "Firefox is already running" message.
If I open firefox from the desktop applications menu, the reverse happens. I can open links from Notes and a terminal, but following links from Slack fails.
I tried reinstalling firefox and slack with no success. Today I tried going back to an earlier version - firefox-70.0.1-4.fc30.x86_64.rpm - and everything seems to be okay.
It seems like something changed in firefox 71 that doesn't play well with Slack.

I am having trouble running Firefox 68.2.0 on a fresh install of CentOS 7.7.1908. This happens whether or not a .mozilla/ directory exists. The problem happens when I invoke Firefox from the command line with or without the "-safe-mode" switch. No Firefox window come up.
Here's what the process listing looks like:
[cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep cgr 14109 12544 0 13:04 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox cgr 14118 14109 0 13:04 pts/2 00:00:00 [firefox] <defunct> [cgr@mypc ~]$ kill -KILL 14109 [cgr@mypc ~]$ ps -ef | grep firefox | grep -v grep [cgr@mypc ~]$

I must use the -KILL switch to kill the program.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem>?
Thanks, cgr

Hi, I have Firefox 68 (andoid) registered to Firefox Sync with all my credentials. Now I installed on linux Firefox 70, enabled sync for my account but credentials are no more synced. I think it is an issue due to a old Firefox account, created when there were no Firefox Lockwise.
I followed the migration guide but probably I was not able to understand the procedure: I
- disconnected sync on all my browsers
- sign in again from my android device with sync using the same email (I've read that is possible)
Help please!
PS: I tried to install Firefox Lockwise but credentials are empty for my account, despite I forced manually sync from my android.
Change Firefox's default fonts (not just the "default font" setting, but really and truly, for all writing systems)

I want to change the default fonts in Firefox. The problem is that the "Default font" setting doesn't really do this. Going to the "Advanced" dialog shows the truth: for every single writing system, the entries are
Serif: (Default) Times New Roman Sans-Serif: (Default) Arial Monospace: (Default) Andale Mono
I want to change which fonts Firefox uses for these "(Defaults)," and I want those defaults to apply to every writing system. Going through every writing system and individually changing them - for every user on the system, mind you - is not an acceptable solution. I didn't see anything in about:config. There is a default, and it needs to be changeable somehow. How?
I am unable to get FF 63.0.3 to open .FITS image downloads with my preferred tool 'ds9', even if I specify the tool's path.

I'm using Firefox 63.0.3 on Fedora 29 Linux. When I download an image in .FITS format (standard in astronomy), I get the "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog box, and select "Open with". The suggested application is Gimp, which is useless for my purposes; I want the astronomical image viewer ds9, a descendant of SAOimage. The dropdown menu does not offer ds9 as a choice, so I select "other", which opens a "Select Application" dialog box. This also does not list ds9, nor is it in the "View all applications" list, so I go to "Find new applications" which offers me the same selections in fancier format, but also has a search box. I put the path to ds9 (/usr/local/bin/ds9) in the dialog box, but the choice is not offered -- I get "No applications found" anywhere along the path.
This used to work. What seems to have happened is that a design decision was taken to create a special menu of Firefox-approved 'applications' and limit the user's choices to these alone. Is there any workaround, or am I stuck with downloading files I don't want to save and laboriously opening them by hand in a separate application? This is driving me crazy, or more accurately, even crazier.

Since one week there are some changes in the address bar. Suddenly there is a menu "page actions", and a magnification icon. And a reader view button.
What scares me is that these changes just suddenly happen, not with an upgrade. How can this happen? Does Firefox check somewhere online?
And they keep coming back! I have no control over them! That is what scares me.
While these are nice additions, I do not want them. I want to tab to the next filed directly.
I try to get rid of those things but no matter what I do they come back. How can I shut these down for good?
I have been a Firfox user since the beginning and I love it!
Any help would be appreciated.

I am an admin for hunderds of websites. I log in to them using "admin" as login name. Since today I get a list of all the logins with that name from all the sites when i want to enter my login. It used to be just one login: the one for that site, and after that the right password.
Please correct this, or maybe you can show me how to turn this off.
In the past I only had to push the down-arrow button in the login field to enter the login, then do tab tot get to the password field and there the password was and I could log in. Now I have to type "admin" while being distracted by all the hundreds of unwanted suggestions.
This can be a handy feature but not for me, it was working perfectly.
This seems only to happen on new sites where I add a password, and keeps acting that way on the new site.
