Recently, I am no longer able to print an attachment from Gmail. The print icon simply brings up a dialog box to choose between opening or saving a pdf (it defaults to pdf even if the attachment is a word doc, image, or spreadsheet). This is a recent development and happens on both of my mac computers. I have started Firefox without any add-ons enabled, but it didn't help.

I was using Linkedin with no problems on Firefox until about a month ago when I stopped being able to even load the site (it keeps spinning when i try to go to it) . I have installed a newer version of Firefox on my mac today (firefox 69.0.3) but it seems the profile info from a previous version was transferred as i had all my history preserved. I am still facing the same issue with linkedin. when i clear cookies and site data (for the site specifically or everything) or when i clear history from 'library' button the site loads but when i sign in it keeps spinning and doesn't work. I have also tried deleting cookies.sqlite files in the profiles folder to no avail. I also have ipv6 disabled as it was recommended to me for a similar issue with different sites in the past.
Any advice on this?

I went to about:profiles, and tried to follow the instructions provided to open a profile in a new browser, but as is almost always the case, Firefox had a problem with it, and started whining that I could not open more than one copy of Firefox at a time (attached).... Is this a joke, or has Firefox just completely lost its mind now?? I swear, I am two steps away from completely giving up on Firefox as a browser nowadays, because they seem to be so stuck on security that you cannot even use them as a browser anymore. Pretty much any and ALL convenience of the browser has been lost to the fact that they block almost everything, for one reason or another, and it is getting retarded now.... Can you do ANYTHING on Firefox anymore?? What is wrong with these people, and why are they destroying a great browser in the name of being overly careful?? Don't get me wrong, I am all for security, but not to the point where nothing works at all. There is a level of security that is helpful, and a level that is beyond necessary, which can completely break your experience. This is where Firefox has moved to now, it is getting to where its wants to be so secure that you cannot even surf the web anymore. Do I need to go over to Chrome, or are the Mozilla people going to get their act together, and save a really good browser, because I am sick to death of nearly EVERYTHING being blocked by Firefox for one stupid reason, or another!!

I am noticing a disturbing trend with Firefox browser recently, and that is that almost every other login page I got to in Firefox has lost the saved login that has always been available in the past. I have them mostly written somewhere else, and can still login, after some searching, but this is an unwelcome extra step that I thought Firefox would alleviate, by saving logins for websites. This has never been a problem before as all of these site's login information (usernames & passwords) was saved by the browser to easily populate, but now I go to Preferences>Privacy & Security>Saved Logins, enter the name of the site in the search, and nothing comes up. It is like the browser has never heard of that site before, nor the login information saved?? This is frustrating because there is no way for me to check on the json file that contains the saved logins, that I can find. I have been told that the json file may have been changed to json.corrupt., and I should find it, and rename it back to the original, but this is something I cannot find anywhere. How can I access the json saved login information file to check it please, and why would the browser just be randomly forgetting saved logins?? Oh yes, and Thanks in advance!!

If I click on the link I want (as per the image) I would instantly be able to copy the link and paste it in an email. I now can't do this. I now have to wait for the page to be fully loaded, which is a pain as I like to work quickly and this takes time when I have slow internet connection. I also reply to email etc without internet connection sometime so this is not ideal Any ideas?
OK, is there any reason why this new version is using OVER 20GIGS of RAM?
This is crazy! I empty the cache, have only one tab streaming anything, yet FF is sucking up half my available RAM! Why is this happening?

Even when I search in Preferences --> Search --> Find more search engines, Google does not even appear in the results. When I visit Google.com, the green plus sign does not appear on the magnifying glass in the search toolbar, but it shows up on almost every other site. Even on this Mozilla Support site, the green plus sign appears and I can add this to my search toolbar, but I can't add Google.
This all started when I updated my Mac to Catalina, but I don't see why that would affect my ability to simply add Google to my search toolbar. Someone please help, this is driving me insane.

Firefox stuck on TLS handshake with Mac OS 10.15 Catalina

I'm running Firefox Quantum 69.0.3 on a new 2017 iMac Pro on which I've just upgraded from Mojave to to Mac OS 10.15 Catalina (not beta, the first "official" Catalina release). I'm running into a problem with Firefox that I've not encountered in many years of use, namely that after about 5 or 6 hours of uptime, any open Firefox tab that I refresh or any new one I create gets stuck showing the "TLS handshake" note in the lower left and then times out with a message that the server being contacted is not responding. Restarting Firefox does not fix the problem but rebooting the Mac does, in that Firefox reaches any site once again. But then after another 5-6 hours the problem crops up once more. All other software continues to run just fine during these TLS handshake problems, such as Outlook, Mail, Sonos, etc. I did not encounter this problem when running Firefox on this machine with Mojave. Because I'd rather not have to reboot every several hours I'm wondering if anyone has run into this and/or can suggest a fix for this. Is there a special setting to change or update in Catalina (the only variable I'm aware of that's changed since my upgrade) or in Firefox to work with Catalina's many new settings? Thank you.

A couple of days ago Facebook quit working on Firefox. I have both personal and business FB accounts, and neither works. In both cases the FB screen shows but it is either blank or I get an error message, "Your request could not be processed". I have attached screenshots of both instances.
Facebook still works fine on Chrome and Safari so it seems something has happened with Firefox.
This is not a critical situation but I would like to fix it, I'd rather not have to open more browsers just to look at Facebook.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

For as long as I can remember, all my new tabs opened into a Google search window. But now, they open into a Search Mozilla Support window. That's not what I want -- I want to restore the Google search window.
I've checked the forums, and followed the advice on changing this: Settings > Search > One-Click Search Engines.
That doesn't work for me, because Mozilla Support is selected as my search engine, and the Restore Default Search Engines button is greyed out. When I click the tab for Find More Search Engines, there's no sign of Google.
Does Mozilla hate Google?
