takes long time for my browser to load a web site initially
At start up my browser takes a long time to load a web site initially. I used to see this initial load time much shorter than now. Any suggestions?

Hello Frefox-Community, I had to reinstall windows and Firefox. I was logged into my Firefox account and tab and bookmark synchronization was enabled. After the reinstallation the PC is not recognized as the original device even though it has the same name and user login. The tabs and bookmarks are not synchronized and restored. How can I merge the data or change the devices in Firefox? Best, Phil

Websites that I regularly visit appear in my topwebsites (I have two rows of six icons each). It would be convenient if there would be a keyboard shortcut to open a specific website, similar to e.g. Ctrl+3 to go to the third open tab. Can't find the answer on this forum or anywhere else, have tried some semi-random combinations with no success. For info: I am on version 60.9.0esr (32-bits).

I recorded a powerpoint presentation using the powerpoint Recording function and exported to video - it created an MP4 file. This file plays fine under windows media player, Edge and Chrome. It produces intolerably scratchy audio (sounds of crackles) when played under firefox on Windows 10 and via a website link on Firefox for Android. Powerpoint is for Office 365 MSO version 1908 (Build 11929.20254). Firefox (windows) is version 69.0 build 20190827005903.
Amazon moves won't stream.
Amazon moves won't stream. Series episodes stream fine, but not single movies. On Edge they work fine...

I've researched and tried just about everything I can to get drop down menus to work on a certain site...turned off hardware acceleration, tried loading the site in safe mode without any add-ons or themes, disabled all content blocking for the site, deleted all cookies and cache, reinstalled flash, etc etc etc. Nothing works. I have verified that the site functions properly using other browsers so I'm at a dead end now. Any help would be appreciated.
firefox-dev does not open from terminal

Many development tools will automatically open a browser upon start-up (e.g., fire-up a react-app, or a jupyter Notebook). I only have `firefox-dev` on my machine. I have created an alias firefox -> ../path/to/firefox-dev/bin. I had to do this because `firefox-dev` nor `firefox` worked (command not recognized). Finally, my mac os preference has been set to `firefox-dev`.
Despite having set the `env` variable `$BROWSER` set to the alias, the desired behavior (above) is not happening.
All in all, it would be great to have expanded documentation on how to fully configure your mac to use `firefox-dev`. Thank you in advance for any help on this useful part of my workflow.
PS: I love this app. Nice job!

No issues when using another browser to upload an image. After completing a sync with MS OneDrive, my Firefox's File Upload folders are all empty despite my MS OneDrive being up-to-date. Every folder stills how the "still syncing" symbol, yet they there is no syncing going on at all. Why the incompatibility? Not happy with FF. Needs attention for a fix.

Firefox MAC is blocking clicking LIKE on Instagram suddenly 1-2 weeks ago. I share Firefox browser settings automatically so this blocking also happens on my Macbook Pro. It does NOT happen using SAFARI or mobile cellphone app - ONLY Firefox browser. Everytime I click LIKE, this message window pops up: "Action Blocked This action was blocked. Please try again later. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake." I included screenshots of green lock notification in address bar. HELP - any suggestions?

I use a laptop that I frequently connect to a large external monitor. When on the laptop, often my Firefox v69.0 (64-bit) browser windows are full-sized (not full-screen mode, but just taking up the entire desktop). When I plug in the external monitor, these windows migrate to the external monitor and are much smaller than full-screen. However, Firefox appears to continue to have these windows tagged as full-screen, as when I am on one of them, and open a new window using command-N, I get a full-scree (on the large external monitor) size window, rather than a window of the same size.
I don't think this is desired or intended behavior--is there a way to override it or submit a bug report?
Thanks

I’m trying to use my own DoH server with Firefox. It works fine basically but if I enable client authentication on it, DoH seems to fail. Since It’s difficult to create ip address based access filtering for remote mobile users, I want to add some user authentication feature to my DoH session.
Does current DoH client of Firefox support “TLS client certificate” or “HTTP header” authentication?

I kept trying to select Restore Previous Session but Firefox option is grey and unable to access. I made a copy of the sessionstore-backups folder, then closed firefox, replaced the new sessionstore-backups folder, then restarted firefox and problem continued to persist. I noticed this morning when I started up Firefox that the amount of windows I normally have open for session restore doubled and where all blank. Can anyone help me restore previous session?

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.

I am a very organized person and I expect my bookmarks to be neat and organized. I noticed yesterday that my bookmarks were all jumbled and out of place. My folders were no longer nested but all unorganized. Fortunately, I had a backup, so I restored it, only for it to get jumbled again. So, I signed out of all devices, selecting to delete everything. So, I imported my backup, and everything is fine. I logged back into Firefox on the computer that I imported the backup to, and again, everything was screwed up.
So, signed out again, chose the option to delete everything and restored the backup again. That is where I am right now. I am thinking something is corrupt with my account, but I do not know how to fix it. I was hoping that someone could help me. I have looked through the support documents, but I have yet to find one that helps me. I am running Windows 10 on four computers, Linux Mint on one and three Raspberry Pies with Raspbian. I also have two Android phones. I have had this setup for quite awhile with no problems until now.

1) Refreshing Gmail tabs
2) Using new tabs to open those Gmail tabs
3) Resetting Firefox
I tried those actions, and none of them seem to fix this issue.
Based on my personal usage since the update to 69.0.1, this issue currently seems to only apply to Gmail.
This function seems to work fine on other web pages/sources.
