https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1340102#question-reply ^^^^^^ While searching for a very popular FIREFOX topic my top search result on google rendered this page. The answer is incorrect.

How can I fix or delete this erroneous post or may it be edited?

I can create a help page if it means anything to replace this technically and procedurally incorrect and misleading post. I saw it right away but for a newbie to firefox it could send them away screaming in frustration. A help webpage to address this question would be helpful and I can create one if needed. Or did I miss it?

I should correct my previous entry because I don't believe that I can edit the post. The correction is: This procedural issue could ensnare experienced Firefox users in some cases, as well as "Newbies".

I recreated the post to simulate the Question and the correct answer. Now the wrong answer could be deleted.

So you want to edit or delete a post made by someone else?. You can only edit your Own posts. That thread is not really wrong.

You should just click the 3 dots on the bad thread and report it so the MODs can find and delete it.

We do not delete posts here with the exception of spam in the Forums section. Many of your own posts with incorrect information that you thought were deleted were actually just hidden.

The only problem is that the chosen answer misses the leading quote at the begin of the line.
