I was forced to upgrade when FF crashed the other day, and now all of my windows are sorted alphabetically. This was exactly the behaviour that caused me to switch from Chrome to FF in the first place. I *HATE* having my windows sorted alphabetically. I have certain windows that remain open all the time, and they remain at the top of my Window menu drop-down, for easy access. (Hence, chronological by when the window opened, the old default behaviour.) Now, FF "helpfully" changes the window position every time I change tabs, and I can't find anything. I mentally sort windows by subject matter, not by the name displayed on the tab. I have tens of windows (20-30 typically) open at any given time. This makes it literally impossible to use the Window menu anymore, and I have to tab through open windows searching for what I need.

Mozilla, please make this a configurable option. It was really horrible of you to enforce this on us, just because some squeaky-wheels decided they preferred alphabetical sorting. They clearly are not power users, and this change has crippled those of us who are.

NOW I FIND OUT THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT FIREFOX AND ALL THEY HAVE IS THE STANDARD ASK A QUESTION FROM THE COMMUNITY! THERE ARE TOO MANY GLITCHES WITH DOWNLOADING THEIR UPDATES AND COMPLETELY LOSING MY SAVED PASSWORDS AND NOW THIS BROWSER HAS BLOCKED INFORMATION POSTED ON A NEWS ARTICLE THAT SHOWS TWITTER FEEDS BY THE PRIOR TWITTER ADMIN THAT HAS BEEN FIRED. I HAVE THE STANDARD SECURITY AND DO TRUST THE SITE THAT I AM ON BUT WITHOUT EXPLANATION FIREFOX HAS BLOCKED THOSE FEEDS IN THE ARTICLE. CERTAINLY NOT INTENDED TO PROTECT MY BROWSING BUT TO BLOCK AN INTENTIONAL POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE! I NO LONGER WANT TO TRUST FIREFOX/MOZILLA WITH MY BROWSING CAPABILITIES ESPECIALLY KNOWING IT IS ONLY VOLUNTEERS AND NOT SUPERVISED OR ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GIVE ANSWERS!

When I click on a LINK or if I right click on a LINK a NEW Window opens with the opened NEW Tab. Happens about 99% of the time.

I am running Apple OS High Sierra, 10.13.6 on an older iMac Mid 2011. My Preferences have always been set, or checked, General_Tabs "Open links in Tabs instead of NEW Window."

The result is a Firefox screen full of Single Windows with Single Tabs. Some Windows I may continue to add Tabs to but most of the time I copy the link from the NEW Window and paste the link on the older Window. If I am in a hurry the result will be many many Opened NEW Windows with one or two NEW Tabs. See attachments. This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

Note your checkbox titled "Email me when someone answers the thread" does not work but please email me at "[email removed from public]".

Thanks in advance!

Andy

I have recently updated Firefox and now I see red dots around links across the internet. These are not links i have visited.

My research says they are to do with accessibility. I have found a function to set the to 0 or 1 but that has not removed them.

What can I do?

I am trying to access 2 giff gaff accouns to change my pay in information[card going out of useable time] and need to be done during Sepember 2022. No matter what I try I cannot get on to their system. Is there some form of block in my firefox system that will not allow me - I am told I need to allow them, but I simply do not understand how? Where are Preferences and how do I access them?

In the last few versions of Firefox the "Always ask you where to save files" does not work properly. Sometimes it asks, sometimes it automatically downloads. The majority of items I download are in PDF. Some I am asked & put on desktop to move later while some are automatically sent to Downloads folder. In Help, it says to go to Settings > General > Applications to get this to happen but under PDF I have it set to "Always ask". And Firefox is not doing this. Will this be fixed in future versions? There seem to be a lot of people that have this problem, which is basically creating work. I understand it only takes seconds to get them but over the course of time it's not efficient. I've been using Firefox for years & do not always agree with some of the changes but this one is really frustrating because it is not consistent. I only want to be able to have the where to/save as box show up when I attempt to download a PDF. Any other or real suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, JF

This may seem to be a senseless problem, but I don't see well and it's rather important to me. There is the search/address bar at the top of the screen. There is also the somewhat larger one down towards the middle of the screen. This is the one I use a lot. Recently, when I start typing in that lower box, I am immediately jumped to the upper one. This is something new. I cannot find a setting to prevent this from happening. (I have tried switching browsers - someone suggested that might help, but not so.) I would very much appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

When we select one of the context menu to copy the Image URL, for example, when you re reading in the page below, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paintings_by_Pierre-Auguste_Renoir;

and selecting one thumbnail like as I attatched, we expect Firefox returns like URL below. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Swing-Renoir.jpeg/200px-Swing-Renoir.jpeg

But actually, Firefox sometimes returns like this "blob" url. blob:https://en.wikipedia.org/e7b597f6-ea69-4cc2-aa37-07cad9e66a7d

This is not what I expected and desired. Do you have any idea of the cause and solution for this situation?

I own a mac and had to erase all my data from my computer in order to upgrade to new system. Issue is - the apple support person did not remind me to save down my firefox browser data/bookmarks. Now my mac is updated and it's like a brand new computer. I searched previous forums and apparently firefox automatically saves down your data but I don't see it in the appropriate folder (Old Firefox Data >bookmarkbackups) - I see data from 2016 and 2017. Can I recover these bookmarks?? I had a lot of important ones saved..
