Hello, I'd like to know how to change the DOM storage location to a USB flash drive so that I can have all my history and cookies and offline data stored on that flash drive. That way, I will always insert the USB drive prior to launching Mozilla firefox. Having to verify 2FA all the time is annoying as I always clear my history. I don't like leaving them on my PC anyway. I use a Macbook. Thanks.

Hello,

I am having problems downloading documents with Firefox. It happens very rarely, initially I only saw that problem on the Epson Microcontroller web site and now the same is happening on the Raspberry Pi web site. All other web sites work fine.

When I click on a link I get an error message that the web site cannot be found and to check the internet connection a.s.o. (see attachment). The link I clicked when I got this error message was:

https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rpi3/raspberry-pi-3-b-plus-reduced-schematics.pdf

It works fine on a Huawei tablet, so I suspect the problem lies with Firefox and / or my settings.

Any idea what is happening and how to solve that problem?

Kind Regards, Hugo

p.s.: the image upload here does not seem to work, the error message displayed says:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at datasheets.raspberrypi.com. If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

   Try again later.
   Check your network connection.
   If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web."

Well lately I seem to be having a problem accessing a good portion of the pages in this site...

http://www.crystalacids.com/database/

In which oddly enough I can access this part of the site just fine and I can access all the pages in "Companies" just fine as well. But all the pages under "Titles" and "People" on the other hand keep showing a blank white screen. There is a fair amount of Title and People pages that have links to audio clips on the site, is that a potential problem?

I have noticed the red line on the padlock near the URL in which means the connection on that site is not secure. So I figured this meant that the site has "Mixed Content" which would mean that Firefox is blocking the Title and People pages. But I have tried to turn off the Mixed Content blocking in about config and of course tried to turn off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" in which neither one worked. It is a bit baffling on how only certain pages are accessible on the site so what exactly is going on here?

I have been using Firefox for some years now as I find it less intrusive than Microsoft or Google and currently have version 99. Usually I manage quite well with using my laptop but recently, several of the websites I have been using, I have been unable to access as they are now using the Google reCAPTCHA system. I have looked at various websites and, as I understand it. Firefox can be modified, if that is the correct term, to enable access to these reCAPTCHA sites. Unfortunately I am 76 years old and not very technically knowledgeable when trying to change things when necessary. Could you please explain to me, in layman's terms, if it is possible to change Firefox to accept reCAPTCHA and, if it can be done, how and where do I start. I am sorry to trouble you with this problem but any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. Kind Regards Christine Marshall

Good day. I use Firefox everyday to connect to network devices that produce PCAP files. These files are opened in Wireshark. I am running macOS Monterey 12.3.1. In the past, I was able to click on the pcap file in the browser and Firefox would launch Wireshark and open the file. It was very quick and saved me a bunch of time. However all of a sudden this stopped. It now asks me to download the file and then I need to go looking for it and doubleclick on it to open. I read a bunch of articles but none appear to work; for instance, there is no option to `open with` (as some articles claim) when the download dialog box pops up. I tried looking for the handlers.json file and tried these two options, none of which worked:

Tried this one first `"application/x-pcapfile":{"action":4,"extensions":["pcap"]}`

Then tried this one `"application/pcap-file":{"action":4,"extensions":["pcap"]},"application/x-pcapfile":{"action":4,"extensions":["pcap"]}`

All it did is reset the handlers.json and created a `handlers.json.corrupt`

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox did an update today, so I assume this has something to do with it. Every time I do a download (and I do a lot) the drop down list showing the downloads I've done pops out. It didn't do this prior to the update. It used only to appear when I selected it. Now it comes out every blasted time. It's very annoying and distracting. To be clear, I still want to see the download arrow/indicator/whatever so I can see the download is happening, but I don't want to see the list each time. How do I make it STOP? Image attached. Thank you.

When I have resistFingerprinting set to true, closed captions on certain sites where the feature is active (I think it specifically happens with HTML5 canvas image data, but I could be wrong), change colour. Is this intended? If so, is this configurable? It's quite annoying and makes for less readable text most of the time when trying to watch content. This specifically happened on Wakanim.tv for me. Once I turned off resistFingerprinting, it went away again. Some example are in the attachments.

I have for many years tried to have excel automatically open downloaded .csv files as I do this every day many times. Until today I have not been able to understand why, despite having asked for Firefox to automatically open .csv files with Excel, and therefore finding "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" associated to "Use Excel (Default)" in the application association list in the General settings, Firefox continues to ask what to do with the .csv file type when downloading.

What I have discovered is that when using a search for associations in the General tab, csv gives no results! However searching for cel does for some reason list the "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File".

It seems to me that the file type three letter code for the Microsoft excel csv file is wrongly stated in the association list. Is my assumption right? If so how can I correct this please?

For information I have had this problem on more than one computer! I have just set this up on a brand new laptop when discovering this.

Images attached... Thank you.

Hello moz://a team,

Personally, I really like Firefox and have never encountered a problem with it. However, one day I wanted to another row of bookmarks on my homepage, so when I did, I saw that the the new row was already filled with bookmarks and i didn't remember adding them. To investigate I changed my homepage to display 4 rows and found and it too was filled with bookmarks of random websites and I had never added. There was also a lot of duplicates of the same website. I spent hours deleting the hundreds of bookmarks. and then the next week, there was another wave of more and more bookmarks. I've checked in the settings of Firefox but couldn't find an option to stop Firefox from adding more bookmarks without my permission. It may just be a bug, or that something is wrong. If there is an option that stops this but I've missed it please do tell me about it. And if there isn't one then please add the option in an update, please!

Super disappointed with Linux Firefox version 99. Where is the address drop down list??? Gone! Where are my options for application preferences? Gone! I have spent hours chatting with Linux techs, researching Firefox Help, and nothing is clear or understandable. My previous Firefox worked great. Now, nothing works and I spend more time trying to find or open things that were incredibly simple and user friendly before. I have tried to uninstall and re-install several times. Nothing improves. What the heck happened? how is this an improvement or upgrade???

I have an iMac that is a decade old. Running macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6 That is as updated as I can get on this processor.

I had a normal "there is a newer version of Firefox available" update alert, so relaunched Firefox to update. So on Monday 4th April NZ time i got the update. As usual I got the message [in a dialogue box]: Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.

So far, normal. I closed Firefox, then relaunched. Same message. Did a logoff on my computer - same thing Did a full shutdown, login - same message. I got a bit radical - I dumped Firefox, deleted Trash. New installation (version 99.0.1) Same message;Close "Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

Currently using (newly installed) Edge for Mac, until this problem can be sorted; I hope it is brief, I have used Firefox for most of the years I have had a computer.
