Now it's completely impossible to open PDFs outside Firefox, as I could do until the last couple of beta versions.

This trend is going on since a few years ago, from bad to worst. The whole design of the PDFs download process is bad. PDFs should be treated by FF as any other file: download and open with the system default PDF viewer. Imposing Firefox's internal PDF viewer as mandatory for downloaded PDFs is nonsense.

How can I save a link to my android launcher and have it open in firefox even when the target has a manifest.json for a PWA?

By now I've done a bunch or research about PWAs. Old man Moz. has a nifty article about building them too.

Apparently they've been all the rage since 2017 or so.

But it's driving me up the wall at the moment. I like all the browser goodness available when I look at a website. Multiple tabs. Easy fwd/back navigation between sites. The ability to fire up another tab right there. Bookmark a particular page. Send a link. Whatever it is, I want my browser functionality.

I want to be able to save a link to my android launcher and have it open in firefox even if the marketing dept at the website would rather I thought it was an app.

Surely there is something in about:config? I've searched for everything I could think of and come up empty.

For any page I've tried under nationalrail.co.uk, Add to Home screen no longer offers a way to change the name of the icon so every one is National Rail (see screenshot). It used to work as expected, an icon with a default name which can be changed but now it has the instruction Touch and hold an icon or tap Add to add it to the Home screen with the site's icon and no edit field.

bbc.co.uk is similar but cnn.com is fine.

I just installed Android V 8.1 and the anti-spam function isn't working. Spam mail is not being automatically filtered as it is supposed to do, and does on the desktop version. In addition the junk/spam mail settings that are supposed to be in the Accounts area are not there and the Swipe to Spam function also doesn't work nor does the "long press" to get to the spam marking option.

Any estimate as to when this functionality will be brought online?

Mcfee was downloaded along Adobe reader. When I try to uninstall all I get is a partial box. I can see partial boxes in the bottom that I can't get at. Really the only thing I can fully read is to minimize or to exit with X. It doesn't do anything after this point. How can I get it off my drive?

I am not the most technical savvy person. I have Malwarebytes on both my laptop and cell phone.

My phone had Verizon Message+ until they stopped supporting it a few weeks ago. They suggested I use Google messenger which I downloaded. I am finding many things that it does not do which I use all the time. It does not have a way to broadcast a message to multiple people. It does not have the ability to copy a message you sent to one person so you can send it to another. I use those quite often to keep in touch with family in other states.

Does Mozilla have a text message app for an android phone?

Thank you so much

Joan
