Making Duck Duck Go as default browser
For years my default browser was Duck Duck Go. Suddenly it has been replaced by Yahoo. How do I fix this and restore my browser and block Yahoo?

It is annoying that search executes immediately instead of triggering on enter keypress, especially when a web page is big. Is there any way to disable auto-search and trigger it only when you press enter?
If you want to understand better it's pretty similar to this VS Code issue.
Firefox ver. 125.0.2. The newly deployed Text Highlighting function is not working properly. Button of Text Highlighting is missing in PDF mode.

I was looking for an item that would be a couple of years back in my history, only to discover that my history now only goes back a year and 3 months… Exactly, as of today, I don't know if that's meaningful. Does anyone have any idea what might've happened, and how I can restore the rest of my history? Thank you!
I'm on a Mac using Mojave, with Firefox version 115.8.

FF loads so slowly and blocks so many sites that I had to disable enhanced tracking to get to mozilla.org. It can take up to 30 seconds for a site to load if I don't disable enhanced tracking, and even then, some won't load and will time out. I have 7 pinned items that load when FF opens, and it can take up to 5 minutes for all of those to load. Even on some sites where I have enhanced tracking turned off, I have to close the initial block page to get the site to load. Sometimes I have to stop the download and refresh to get the page to load. It is blocking sites that I've used for years with no problems.
What I have done: Troubleshoot mode - loaded a bit faster, but still had problems with some bookmarked pages I've used for years with no problems. It seems to hate all Google Pages, especially Google News Turned off Deceptive Content and Dangerous Software protection Turned off HTTPS only mode Turned off Block Popup Windows

I am using the apt version of firefox v125.0.2 (64-bit). I do not have a dedicated GPU - I use my intel core's internal gpu only Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02).
I used to play this game named narrow.one, which before I reinstalled the mentioned libraries, was working fine except for crashing a few times. I thought these libraries were causing some issue, so I tried reinstalling them.
I reinstalled the libraries using: `sudo apt install --reinstall --fix-missing libgl1* libegl*`
After installation, I start getting that error. So, I tried reinstalling firefox (using the same command), and then restarting the laptop - but of no use. Chrome seems to be running WebGL, including the game.
In firefox, on the https://get.webgl.org/ page, I see Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card.
After that, I also tried reinstalling `libopengl0` and `libglu1-mesa` and `intel-microcode`, but of no use. Running although, `sudo intel_gpu_top` and then chrome, it seems that the GPU is in use by chrome as well.
I then go to about:support. It shows me the images I have attached. Reading the logs, there several `blocklisted` values in `Decision Log` section. I suspect that's the cause of this issue, but then I don't know how can I un-blocklist the blocklisted things, and even after that, why does Chrome runs webgl if these are blocklisted?
Running `glxinfo -B`, I get the following: `name of display: :0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) (0x5916) Version: 23.2.1 Accelerated: yes Video memory: 7697MB Unified memory: yes Preferred profile: core (0x1) Max core profile version: 4.6 Max compat profile version: 4.6 Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1 Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.2

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20`
I do not know much about OpenGL, but reading the above stuff, I suppose my GPU is in use and also has a compatible driver (although I am not sure).
Also, running `glxdemo`, `glxheads`, and `glxgears` seems to be rendering stuff.
Should I reinstall firefox after purging it first? Please help.
Thanks!

I have 3 computers (2 desktops, 1 laptop). I want to permanently delete approx 300 unused/unneeded passwords. I deleted them from computer #1, then logged out of Firefox. The new count was 346 passwords.
I went to the second computer, deleted approx the same number from computer #2. The new count was 324 passwords I returned to computer # 1 and logged back into Firefox.
Within a short time, computer #1 is at 759 passwords, and computer 2 is at 691 passwords.
How do I get the deletions to be permanent? It's the second pass at doing this and I'm FRUSTRATED.

Hello everyone,
since my last update (125.0.2 (64-bit)), an additional website always opens when I open a website in Firefox. This is called "Page load error" in the tab; the content of the page is as follows:
Error: Connection failed
An error occurred while connecting to 0.0.0.1.
The website may be temporarily unavailable, please try again later. If you are also unable to access another website, please check the network/Internet connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, please make sure that Firefox is allowed to access the Internet.
How can I prevent this additional page from opening?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I am using Firefox v125.0.2. When I open a PDF in Firefox it takes a lot of time to load. But, when the same PDF opened in the Edge browser it loads normally and scrolling through PDF pages renders fast. I have shared the screenshot of a single-page pdf loading taking quite a long time.
Could someone please help me with this.

Starting with my bank's web site, my user name/password is being challenged. I can't bank. Elsewhere, where my desk top has always been recognized, I'm now forced to log in each time...and I receive an email that a new device has just logged into my account. All of this suspiciously coincides with a recent browser update. On my bank feedback it's showing as Firefox "125"...when all previous logins were recorded as Firefox "124". Help!

After Firefox updates itself, the restarted browser session is unresponsive to mouse clicks - can't follow links, can't respond to UI dialog boxes, the browser is unusable for practical purposes. It's fixed after another manual restart. This unfortunately breaks all the streamlining Firefox has done to restore the session after an update, because none of that stuff works the same after a manual quit and restart. This is happening on MacOS, and it happens across multiple computers.

Hi I wish to have Firefox 125.0.2 and 124.02 'separate instances', not different profiles...
I already have 125.0.2 installed with various Profiles.
I found a 'few' links and they were quite 'cloudy' and also since Firefox (now) does not have the 'ask you WHERE to' install... I vaguely remember years ago, it was possible.
I do not mid doing tweaking, I also already have backups of profiles, just in case!
Thank you in advance M
PS it seems Mozilla does not want us to install multiple instances (perception)!

I'm running Firefox 102.4.0 ESR (32 bit) on a Win-7 (32 bit) PC.
It works fine. I visit a LOT of websites, it works fine.
Until just now. I'm trying to bring up namecheap.com (a domain registrar) and I'm getting this message:
Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.namecheap.com. security library failure. Error code: SEC_ERROR_LIBRARY_FAILURE
I'm not given any option to alter any FF settings or to otherwise create an exception to "trust" this site to be able to access it.
I've read where changing security.pki.crlite_mode (currently 3) to something else (like 0) and I've tried that, and unless I have to close and restart FF for that to take effect (which I have not done) then that setting doesn't fix the issue.
What exactly is going on here? Why is only THAT SITE giving me problems?
