This is a weird one for me. Firefox 142.0.1 Windows 10 Pro 22H2 AdBlock Plus and NoScript as add-ons

https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/grid-affiliates.html?aid=tribnyc2dl

shows me as automatically logged into the site but will not load the TV listings for me in a normal window.

But if I use the same link in a private window it asks for my user name and password then shows the TV listings and continues to work as it always has.

What could possibly cause this? Has only happened for the last 4 days.

image of problem Some, but not all, pages browsed throw up a "hamburger" menu, top left of the window. (the link above should link you to a screenshot taken this morning in Firefox 142.0.1 (64) running on Win11.)

The menu button floats eternally over the text in that top-left corner. This irritates me because I read text, and am frustrated by the browser covering readable text.

I can't remember ever (20+ years) needing the Table Of Contents of a web page. I use Mozilla Firefox's excellent Edit, Find if I want to jump directly to a key word.

Anyone who can suggest a perpetual dismissal of this menu button will earn my lifelong admiration!

I can deal with Settings, About:Config, and even RegEdit. Thanks, Chris

You get full access to the browser if you cancel entering the master password when opening the browser.

Environment: Windows 10 x64 (22H2) Browser: Firefox v142.0.1 x64 Precondition: Master password set when opening the browser

The user gets full access to the browser (except for access to passwords) when they click cancel password entry. Or close the modal password entry window.

Why is full access to websites and bookmarks granted? An outsider can easily access the browser where you are logged into your email, as well as gain access to your Firefox account management.

I really hoped that without entering a password, no open tabs would load and access to the entire browser would not be granted.

When the master password will actually start working?

Thank you.

I have these printers.

"HP LaserJet M109-M112" (the Windows default) "HP LaserJet 1020"

Regardless of the value of print.sav_print_settings, the first print dialog after starting Firefox shows "HP LaserJet 1020".

If I manually put "HP LaserJet M109-M112" (no quotes) in print_printer, it reverts to "HP LaserJet 1020" the next time Firefox starts.

How do I make "HP LaserJet M109-M112" Firefox's default? Thanks.

When I swipe to the left, Firefox navigates Back & when I swipe to the right, Firefox navigates Forwards. It is VERY ANNOYING!!!! It's really easy to do this accidentally while scrolling around a large web page. When you go back, it deletes all data that was filled out on the web form causing DOUBLE the work. How do I turn it off please? Win 10, FF 142.0.1 64-Bit

On Linux, clicking the X in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox display, or entering CTRL-W kills Firefox with no warning. It would be nice if there was an alert that came up asking "Are you sure if you want to kill Firefox?". Or at least add an option for this in Settings.

On a new tab page, I have unselected "recommended stories" and added four rows of shortcuts. Almost invariably, when I open a new tab, Firefox has added a couple of new shortcuts, bumping two of mine off the page. The shortcuts I've selected are the ones I want. I would like Firefox to stop making suggestions. Does anyone know if that's possible, and, if so, how do you do it?

Firefox: 142.0.1 (64-bit) macOS: Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90)

A repeat of a problem I was having a couple of months ago. I go to the reddit website and login with no problems but when I try to comment or load specific threads I get the attached warning come up:

"! Your request has been blocked by network security. Please try to login with your Redit account."

Which doesn't make sense as I'm already logged in. Last time it seemed to clear after 24 hours or so although not because of anything I did as far as I'm aware.

1. Started Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode - problem remains … 2. Cleared Firefox Cache/Cookies and restarted Firefox - problem remains … 3. Shutdown and restarted iMac - problem remains … 4. Problem not happening with Safari or DuckDuckGo browsers … 5. Checked macOS Local Network security. Firefox has access but turned off access and turned back on, restarted iMac - problem remains …

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.
