My magtek credit card reader does not work with firefox. What is blocking it?
I use quickbooks merchant account and they require magtek as its card reader. I am able to run cards on Chrome but not with Firefox, What may be blocking it?
Firefox
Since Firefox upgraded, Ctrl + V no longer pastes, but reduces the screen size.
I use paste a lot. Is there a way to turn off this new feature with Ctrl reducing the screen size? I appreciate your help. Thank you!
HTML5 Not Supported Error

I have a problem with one website that gives me an error when I try to play videos: "HTML5 is not supported; try another browser" This only happens on my Win7 PC. My Win10 PC running Firefox plays things just fine. Firefox on the Win7 PC has no add ons and only two plugins: OpenH264 & Widevine Content Decryption. When I restart Firefox in the safe mode, I still cannot stream content. The Win7 PC is up to date with all patches and I cannot change the OS as I run Windows Media Center which is not supported by Win10. I notified the website, Bleacher Report Live, of the problem and they seem not to be terribly interested in solving it as I've not heard back from them. I would prefer to solve this problem rather than switch to a new browser.

Since the Firefox 72 updates on Windows 10, I have been unable to attach files in Gmail. I tested the same account in Chrome and Opera and there was no problem. File size not the issue (one file I tried was only 18K). I tried clearing the cache, history, etc., but it had no effect. Safe mode didn't work either. Neither did a reset.
Why do I need to close/reopen Firefox in order for pinned Top Sites to get updated after syncing the browser?

I want to sync my Firefox pinned Top Sites so that I see the same Top Sites display on every new tab window across all my Win 10 PCs. The general sync seems to accomplish this, but only if I close and reopen Firefox after the sync. The sync should update the Top Sites display immediately. It should not be necessary to close and reopen Firefox. Am I missing something here?
Why does FireFox close down all tabs after my computer goes to sleep? I have a MacBook Pro and this just happened within the past two weeks.

Windows 8.1 Tablet Suddenly Dragging Not Responsive and Links Are "Too Sensitive"

I have been using this tablet everyday for over 5 years. It is running Windows 8.1. Today (1/19/2020) it began exhibiting weird problems. (1) Most noticeable is if I want to drag the screen up or down it "almost" doesn't respond. That is, if I put my finger or stylus at a point, say near the bottom of the screen and drag up to the top, the screen image will only move 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen. For the last 5 or more years it would go all the way up.
(2a) Before, on a page with links I could touch the link (with finger or stylus) and a pop-up would give me the option to "Open Link in new tab or container or......" Now those options don't appear and when I take my finger off the link it opens in a new window (as I have set FireFox in options).
(2b) It seems it I touch just near the link but not on it, it still opens the link in a new window.
FireFox 72.0.1 (32-bit) was installed 10 days ago but this problem just showed up today (1/19/2020).
Windows installed two updates and a security update yesterday. I uninstalled all three and still I have the problem.
How can I increase the menus and tab titles font size?

I'm using Firefox 68.4 on Debian. I've set the "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" value to 1.75, which work nicely for the web pages. But the browser's upper right corner menu, the Alt menu, the toolbar menus, address bar and tab titles - all their fonts are still tiny tiny and I don't know how to change them. "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" doesn't change these! Please help! :)
Thank you!
Firefox ignores hosts file when tethered to iPhone

When connected to regular Wifi, Firefox respects the /etc/hosts file. However, when tethered to an iPhone, Firefox does not respect the /etc/hosts file. (Neither does Chrome, for what it's worth). Other programs such as Postman, and traceroute, still respect the hosts file, it's just browsers (including Firefox) that do not.
The behaviour is perfectly repeatable - by switching from wifi to tether and back again, the problem goes away/comes back.
My use case is blocking domains like googletagmanager.com . When on Wifi, firefox does not load anything from that domain. However, when tethered, Firefox does load content from that domain (even though Postman still cannot).
I am using Firefox 72.0.1 and Macos 10.14.6
Is this a setting? A bug? It is certainly not expected behaviour.
Since last week's big Windows update I cannot connect Quicken with my bank to download account data, although I can do this through Edge.
Quicken support couldn't solve this problem. I hate using Edge, and do everything else with Firefox.
When printing, the page fonts are shrunk to unreadable - only in Firefox - OK in other browsers
When attempting to print anything using Firefox the font is shrunk and the page is also shrunk to about a 1/2 of of a page - no matter the print settings.

A big 2.2 GB file is sent to Firefox Send service.
When testing the download link in the same Firefox, I get the warning: "This browser might not be able to decrypt a file this big" When I choose "Continue with this browser", there is no problem in download. The option "Try our favorite browser" takes me to install the same Firefox that is not recognized as valid browser. :-)
Kinda ironic and annoying.

How do I make the touch gestures (e.g pinch zoom) on FireFox as smooth as the one on Google Chrome?

On Google Chrome, when using the touch pad zoom or the touchscreen zoom, it does not change the "zoom controls", making it feel like using the application on a phone. However with Firefox, it is not smooth at all, and changes in "percentage" of zoom (whereas Chrome does not do this). Is there a particular add-on or configuration to fix this?
Where I mean "percentage of zoom", where zooming in Firefox, in the search bar, a small indicator displaying the amount of zoom is shown. Chrome has two different zoom functions, one being the percentage-wise zoom, and another being zooming that feels like a phone.

I am trying to use Group Policy to install/upgrade Firefox on the client PCs.
I have set the policy as Assigned and at the Computer level. When there is an upgrade I add another deployment for that version and then set it as an upgrade to the most recent prior deployment and as can install over the top.
The problem is that the users are reporting that they lose their bookmarks and saved passwords. Every time, except one user, I have been able to use the profile manager to restore their bookmarks. This has happened with 69.0.1, 70.0, 70.0.1 and now 72.0.2.
1) How do I prevent the profile mess when an upgrade applies? 2) Does GPO "rollback" an upgrade to a later version (than the GPO) that is installed automatically by the client or just leave it alone?
Password via DigiCert.Inc accepted but blank page only using Firefox while all OK using Microsoft IE with same info ????
