About 2 wks ago, email with attachments stopped being forwarded. Emails without attachments are forwarded without problem. AOL says nothing changed on their end although I noted that the "Forwarding" tab no longer appears on their mail choice menue.

I just experienced a hijack when I clicked on a help link in a trusted site [HP.com] while researching my printer information. It hijacked my system until I was able to clear it with an app. Now when I start firefox a search page is started with searchingswift.com in the address bar. I need to know how to delete this command. I can close it down and start a new window with the proper address bar, but I want the hijacker gone. Thank you

IPadOS 26.1 When I want to start a new search after viewing a webpage, I click at the top in the address bar and instead of the link being selected the page refreshes. I cannot change the address to view another page. The only way to accomplish starting new is to open a new tab.

Every browser I’ve used, Safari, Brave, Opera, etc. highlights the existing address when you double tap the address bar. There is the refresh icon at the far right, but I”m careful not to tap in that area, trying to avoid refreshing the page.

Is there an option to move the refresh option outside the address bar so that there isn’t this conflict?

Over the past six weeks I have had two failures of Firefox [running current version 146.0 (aarch64)] in completing CC payment processes -- at least one involved updating an expired car, I can't recall if the other involved such a change or just entering a card.

I am using Firefox on a mac mini M4 Pro running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 (up to date, fully supported, but not Tahoe the recently released new version of macOS). I am running Firefox with 4 extensions -- 1 Password, Print Friendly, Raindrop.io, and Authenticator. None were being actively used during these incidents.

In both cases when I switched to Safari and opened the sites, I was able to successfully complete the CC changes and payments. So it does not appear to be related to a problem in my internet connection.

My questions are: a) has anyone had a similar experience with Firefox

     -- particularly incidents related to online financial transactions

b) if so, have you found a solution c) regardless, do you have any suggestions about the cause of the problem or changes to try

Otherwise, my experience with Firefox has been excellent and I am very happy with it, but this is obviously a frustrating and time-consuming problem.

I have reported it to Firefox -- the response was that they will look into it but that my next step should to ask "the community" here.

My thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Bob
