As of today, I can't select the checkbox besides a message in yahoo mail. Doing so just opens up the message. I would like to go back to being able to use the checkbox to select many emails for deletion at the same time. I was able to do this in yahoo mail up until today. This only happens in Firefox. When I open my yahoo mail in Internet Explorer, it works just fine the way it always did.

Go to file then email link and nothing. I set my mailto to thunderbird.

Recently I notice that after browsing in a private window of Firefox and closing that window I can find a cache of that browsing in .cache/mozilla/Firefox/z39yd8n9.dev-edition-default/cashe2/entries folder. There are images that I saw only in private browsing. And this is not private, and other files.

Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:

In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/Jn2NxGJ.png https://i.imgur.com/qDxww7y.png
Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.

Firefox 68. A web site I visit daily always shows a popup asking me to accept cookies ("aceptar y continuar navegando"). It's annoying.
In options, I've selected "standard" for the cookie policy. I've emptied the cache, used the "forget this site" in the history for the web pages where the message pops up, and reloaded Firefox. It still prompts me.
Here's one of the pages it happens on: https://www.antena3.com/series/el-secreto-de-puente-viejo/avances/ Click "avances" or "momentos" and a large black box should pop up on the bottom of the screen, with the "aceptar y continuar navegando" in the lower right in a red rectangle.
Essentially, I want to tell the web site that I accept having cookies and have the web site remember my answer for the future.

Prior to FF 69, I could zoom to HUGE font sizes in Reader Mode. As a user with low vision (macular degeneration) this was very helpful. However, in FF69, zooming is extremely limited. The maximum font size appears to be about 24 point - which is next to useless for those with low vision. Is there any way this can be fixed? I tried the Reader addon, but its zoom isn't much better.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

Why is Firefox not writing a new file when I open or close a tab? Is there anything I can do right now do get diagnostics on this problem? I believe that tomorrow I may be installing Windows patches and have to reboot, and restarting Firefox will lose all diagnostic data. Thanks.

I have already asked my question/given a suggestion in the topic "Fix slowness, crashing, error messages and other problems" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1266686, but had no answer.
So I decided to place the information in this topic:
'general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS 150' and 'general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMinMS 100' make scrolling much better. With the default settings Firefox UI is pretty laggy. It's very important to make browser UI smoother. Could you make this settings as default in Firefox?
Thank you!
I have tried to follow all the steps outlined in the articles, when pasting the profiles etc. from my old comlputer to my new PC they are not there. TX

How can I install "Side View"? The installation page goes to Firefox Private Network, which isn't available in my country.

Has the Side View experiment ended? Is there a way to install it?

Hello,
we have some issues when user run Firefox with already updated profile on Firefox which version is older. Users check "create new profile" and after that report that all them settings are gone.
We can use start parameter: -allow-downgrade or just remove compatibility.ini if Firefox version not like profile version.
But we don`t want do this, I we think the best way is not start Firefox until it update. Can we force update Firefox using config or start parameter?

How does DNS over HTTPS modes define usage of hosts file?
Firefox: 69.0, OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3
I noticed that when I enable DNS over HTTPS ("network.trr.mode" set to 2 - use DoH, fall back to DNS), *and* hostname is defined in hosts file (/etc/hosts), Firefox usage of hosts file is inconsistent and hard to predict.
If IPs defined in hosts file and obtained via DNS request differ, corresponding site/resources behaves erratically, as if Firefox chooses at random, which page components' DNS address should be resolved via hosts, and which via DoH.
I had to disable DoH for that reason.
It is possible to set up DoH, so that it used hosts records, if present, and used DNS in all other cases?

With this latest update (this also happened with the previous update with Firefox 68), Firefox 69 (Quantum) refuses to load facebook games. The only thing that displays is a black screen and it just hangs. Does anyone have a fix for this?
This problem happened when Firefox 68 (Quantum) was released as well. It was eventually fixed but this is irritating that Firefox updates are rolled out with bugs and glitches included. I'm just looking for a fix as I had to remove FF 69 and install a previous version.

I've had this problem for a few months now. It may have started with version 68. Anyway, I use Firefox in windowed mode. Lately, starting it up has resulted in that window being bigger than I want. For one, it looks to be about 920 pixels tall (on my 900 px screen). It's also a little wider than I want. I'm tired of having to resize the window over and over and over. Is there anyway to tell Firefox to always start at the same size as when I closed it?

I am eight to ten characters into typing a url when FireFox "adds" the default startup webpage to the url field at the end of my text. If the field has anything in it, Firefox should realize that it shouldn't auto fill the field because it wasn't empty. This is just an annoyance and frankly would not be that hard to implement.
