What happened to the feature in Settings that allows turning off Firefox control of mouse.

I do not bother to remember the name of the setting, because I simply turned it off each time there was an update, to avoid the problems it caused. NOW, it is no longer in settings.

I first notices a problem when links on a banner did not work. It did no occur to me it was due to Firefox control of the mouse.

Next the mouse wheel function, configured in the OS, that scrolls three lines has become dysfunctional. It jumps around and jerk up and down when I use it to scroll 3 lines which is a huge time waste.

Then I went to settings to turn off the mouse feature and it was not there! So I looked in about:config and there is a huge list of mouse settings that appear to be configured the way Firefox has universally done without any way to disable Firefox control of the mouse.

Lastly, I do not have the mouse configured for accessibility; I have it minimally configured the way I need it in the computer OS settings. The Firefox configuration of how the mouse functions in Firefox also creates the same wheel problem when not using the browser.

How can Firefox universal configuration of the mouse be disabled. Nothing about it is useful or helpful, it creates a number of obstacle - primarily interference with the use of the mousewheel, and on some websites (primarily configured for the use of Chrome) the banner links are not responding to the mouse.

I do not have an accessibility configuration, nor do I use keyboard mouse shortcuts, Last time I updated I actually installed the entire program, hoping to avoid the Microsoft control of Firefox since the update feature apparently uses the microsoft app to update and takes control when Firefox is the default browser (perhaps also when it is not) - to no avail.

Please at least return the feature to disable Firefox mouse settings that allows turning off the configured mouse setting, or at least offer a solution for disabling them!!

Здравствуйте! Установлено расширение PrintFriendly - Печать, PDF и скриншоты веб-страниц. С некоторых пор, совсем недавно, опция PDF перестала сохранять отредактированные страницы практически с любого сайта из интернета. Это крайне неудобно. Скажите, эта проблема никак не связана с возможностями и особенностями функционирования браузера? Спасибо.

I was using Firefox just fine during the day. My laptop switched off with Firefox still open (was simply doing sth else). When I switched my laptop back on and opened Firefox I was signed out of my account. When I signed back in all my profiles and bookmarks were gone. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Describe exactly what isn’t working (e.g., “Videos pause every 5 seconds on Firefox version 118.0.1”).

Include when and where it happens (e.g., which website, device, or operating system).

Mention any steps you’ve already tried (e.g., “I cleared my cache and restarted the browser, but the issue persists”).

I am having passwords and emails not being saved.It does not matter whether it is ether or both, It does not recognize them a lot of the Roku channels I have. Sometimes it asked to save,or the reminder will not come up. Trying to recoup password or create a new is just as bad I realize some of it is the websites fault BUT............. The problem still exists .I also may be doing something wrong. Please help me if you can

Uploading/posting files via the Firefox browser on my laptop to Instagram does not work. It's been stuck on this window for 15 min (I'm using another PC for other work). The only reason I need firefox is to do this action. I don't want to use IG's mobile app for anything. I don't want to use any other browser because IG has me flagged with other browsers — they included my previous IG account in it's random ban via it's AI clean up of accounts for simply posting photos of surfers at a competition —( but that's for another topic for another day).

Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day! —Steve

With the new profile manager your have to choose a Profile that you have to open on system start. That is okay, but I often change between two main profiles, "Homelab" and Personal. That means if I close Firefox and open it again it defaults to open in the last profile use. When I get an idea, I like to start researching and testing before i get side tracked

Is there a way to specify to open a link in a particular profile, like with Edge you would do something like: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"

Thing I have tried:

• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"
• C:\Users\%USER\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vlfrd90t.default
• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -P [also -profile] "[Alpha-digits].Profile 1"

Any assistance would be appreciated.

i got an update message and restarted firefox. now all my saved bookmarks and passwords for accounts has disappearred. how do i get them back? under settings, it doesn't give me option to import from previous firefox

Hi

I have tried to launch Firefox a number of times today and every time it has frozen and does not respond. When trying to select the option of opening the software in Troubleshoot mode, once again the software freezes and I am unable to open the software in Troubleshoot mode . I have tried shutting and re-opening both the software and my laptop but this does not resolve the issue. Can you please either resolve the issue of the software freezing or tell me how I can resolve the issue.

Hello Community,

I have been experiencing significant issues with Firefox for the past couple of months. The main concern is high CPU and RAM consumption during video playback, especially on YouTube.

This issue started appearing only for the past month or two; it was never present before on the same system, and no significant hardware changes have been made.

Crucially, this problem is exclusive to Firefox. I have tested video playback on other browsers such as Google Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge, and do not face any similar performance issues with them.

Your assistance in resolving this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
