I don't use iOS Firefox often, but after a recent use and closing all pages, one tab keeps remaining in my PC's address bar. I can change that when I go to other sites on mobile, but I can't remove it by syncing blank pages. I even tried disconnecting the device from the management page and re-connecting it. I used iOS Firefox before and didn't get this problem. I think it's a kinda recent bug that the last used mobile tab doesn't get removed?

Firefox is not letting me add any bookmarks, no matter what method I use. I recently installed the Private Bookmarks add-on (addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/webext-private-bookmarks ), there may or may not be a link there.
EDIT: It doesn't even let me change the URL of an existing bookmark if I right-click on it > Properties > [change Location] > Save.
Steps taken so far: 1) Disabled the add-on. 2) Restarted Firefox. 3) Removed the add-on. 4) Dragging the tab to bookmarks toolbar; clicking the star on the address bar; cmd+D; bookmarks > bookmark this page. None work. 5) Deleted some bookmarks (in case there was some sort of limit).
I massively rely on bookmarks so this problem would completely destroy my browser experience. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Auto starting your application on every system reboot is presumptuous. I don't want every application I have installed on my computer to automatically start when I boot my machine. That would likely be impossible due to memory constraints. Why do you believe Firefox should be auto started? What if every application enabled this feature (which is possible) by default. It would be chaos.
Please, simply create checkbox in the easily accessible Options menu allowing users to choose to automatically start Firefox on Windows startup. Don't enable this by default and hide the setting in the hidden about:config toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart settings.
Thank you.

Help!!!! I don't see any way to get rid of Yahoo as Firefox's default search engine. I have selected Google as the preferred default, and have chosen to remove all of the other choices. Yahoo is not one of the choices to remove, which I suppose is a clue! I'm leaving Firefox until this can be fixed. Yahoo is simply not an acceptable substitute!
Blocked sites time-out, instead of saying they're blocked

When I try to access a website that's been blocked by my ISP, I get no "blocked" message at all, the site just times out and invites me to retry. This is incredibly annoying as not only am I wasting my time trying to load the site, but I am not even being made aware that the site has been blocked. This seems like someone is being deceptive - hiding the fact that censoring is taking place, which I find abhorrent.
I'd like to know if Firefox is to blame, or my ISP?

Hi!
I've enabled "Restore previous session", but i want it to continue on a new tab next time if I close Firefox by closing all of the tabs individually instead of closing the browser window itself.
So if I close all the tabs individually, it should next time I startup Firefox open a single NEW tab while still remembering my previous tabs if I close Firefox by closing the window itself. Just like it works on chrome with "Continue where I left off" enabled.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

I just signed up for Firefox Monitor. Most of the accounts it says were breached are ones I recognize, and I have changed my passwords. However, it also says there were data breaches affecting two sites I do not have an account with at all (Whitepages and Verifications.io). What do I do about those, since I haven't got an account (I don't even know what Verifications.io is), so I don't have a password to change.

In customization I added AVI to the list to make that file type open in VLC video player. The process was when I downloaded an AVI file it popped up a dialog which offered me an "always do this" option that put the file type into that list.
I am trying to do something similar for MP3 and MP4, but am not able to prevent them from opening and running in Firefox. If I left click, the video downloads and runs. If I right click, there is no "download" option on the menu. In the customization page there is no way to add file types to the list, as the search box above the list appears to be nonfunctional.
There was an article from some years ago to change the "media.windows-media-foundation" in "about:config" from true to false, but that configuration does not appear to exist in my Firefox version (69.0.3 64 bit).
So, the question: how can I get MP4 videos to play in an external player?

Hello,
I recently update to firefox 69 and now I have Firefox 70 and it's not usable at all. When I scroll Firefox blocks very often, it's the same for all websites. I need to click on the menu button and I see what I would have seen after scrolling. So if I want to scroll, I scroll, click menu. Then again I scroll, click menu button. After a few times, there is no more problem. it's like if the whole pages were in the cache at the end. And before there was to much information for the cpu.
When I write it's the same: it's not smooth, when I write an url, firefox stops very often for a second. The url is written at the end, but it's not displayed immediately.
Firefox don't crash, it blocks by scrolling and writing. When I click a tab or a button, it's responsive, no problem. I assume there is a problem, when it must refresh after writing or scrolling.
I'm on linux, I checked that graphic acceleration is enabled, no plugins. I tried to delete the directory ".mozilla" several times, start firefox in safe mode, but nothing helped.
Does somebody has an idea ?

Long-time Firefox user with several profiles defined via ProfileManager. Have several AppleScript apps that start firefox-bin with "-P profilename" to start Firefox with the named profile (see <https://spf13.com/post/managing-multiple-firefox-profiles-in-os-x/> for a description of how this is set up). They no longer work. Starting the profiles from a shell prompt also does not seem to work, at best it opens a new Firefox window in each currently-open Firefox profile. Have tried -P with profile name (profile name quoted), --profile with path to profile's "Root Directory", --profile with path to profile's "Local Directory", pathnames quoted if necessary; all of the above with --new-instance. No joy. What am I missing?

Hello. I often want to print the content on a web site, typically newspaper article. I only get to print the beginning of the website, typically 2 A-4 pages. I often want to create a pdf file of a web site, typically a newspaper article. I then use the built-in feature for this in firefox by selecting print and then choosing to create pdf file. Firefox then creates a pdf file just like when printing, that is, only the beginning of the web page / article. How can I fix this? When using the same features in apple safari, there are no problems. Can this be fixed in future firefox updates?

A website I'm working on (http://dafluffypotato.com/hitbloq) breaks frequently in many different ways when the reload page button is pressed. The page itself is a static page and the HTML is correct when viewed in Inspect Element, which leads me to believe it's a bug with Firefox. However, the issue never occurs when visiting the page for the first time or when reloading the page by clicking a link on the page that links to itself. Resizing the Firefox window horizontally fixes the issue, but just resizing it vertically does nothing. For one of the ways the page breaks, the elements of the table get their height set to the maximum div height for Firefox. Changing the height of the broken element through the Inspect Element tool after the page has loaded fixes the maximum dif height issue. I was unable to check information through Inspect Element for the other ways the page breaks, because opening the inspect element tool on the broken page switches it to being broken the first way with the max height divs.
What the page looks like when it loads correctly: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2019-10-17-15-39-32-1eb7b8.png

What is going on??? I've used flash to stream the news channels on a particular site, for years, on my old iMac, and Macbook Pro, now I have a brand new iMac, and Firefox won't run it, doesn't even give me the option to use it, and the feature in preferences that allows me to list exceptions to not playing video or audio shows no way to ADD a site, making it completely useless! What is causing this dysfunction?
As the image shows, I try to add this website, but there's no way to do it, and there's no sites shown in the window, now. So HOW do I get them in the window??
