Why do I need to re-install my Dashlane password manager after every update
After every Firefox update I have to re-install my Dashlane password manager. Why is this?

Hello,
I have FF 66.0.3 installed. I was trying to install the latest update (66.0.5). After it was downloaded I got this dialog where FF is asking me to input my admin password in order to install the update.
Three things. One, I have never came across a FF update that asked for my admin password. Two, I am the admin on this machine and no password ever required to update a browser. Three, I just ran Trend Micro Security and it doesn't report any issues.
I asked one of my coworkers (same machine as mine) if he could install it on his machine. He didn't have any problems and didn't get the dialog box asking for admin password. (See attached screenshot.)
Is there something special about the 66.0.5 update that would need my admin credentials to update this thing?
Thanks.

Dear all,
I am having a severe issue using Firefox on Linux. That is when I use the browser to watch YouTube it is almost guaranteed that the entire system will hang, become unresponsive and then require a hard reset.
I'm using Xubuntu 19.04.
The laptop is a ThinkPad T450. It has a standard configuration except that I installed a SSD. I ran a comprehensive self-test using the Lenovo BIOS' testing feature and everything was given the all-clear. I note that the same problem doesn't occur on my preferred WebKit-derived browser which is Vivaldi.
I'm not the only owner of a T450 in my household. Curiously, this other T450 which runs Xubuntu 18.04 (LTS) does not manifest the same issue. This system also uses Firefox as its browser.
I was advised to check the system logfiles. The only mention of anything likely in the logfiles is the xsession-errors file:
(xfce4-panel:1291): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: 21:01:45.450: panel-window.c:2245 (panel_window_active_window_geometry_changed): expression 'WNCK_IS_WINDOW (active_window)' failed.

Reference to my post on the Ubuntu forums: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2426276
I'd greatly value any help to solve this issue. I'm willing to look at other logfiles or send over any additional information that might help diagnose this problem. Anything to help me get back to using my browser of choice!
Kind regards. Thran

Everything works fine for a random amount of time, weeks or a month or so, but then suddenly my Firefox browser is not recognized by a number of websites, so I have to verify my browser again. The password and login info is all saved, no problem there. I can autofill username and password, but some websites say they don't recognize me, and I have to verify by text, phone, or email. Even though I logged into the website from this computer yesterday with no problems.
Why does this happen? VERY annoying.

Google Maps keeps showing information, that the Earth 3d view is not available. It worked for two days or so, just after the system reinstallation (Windows 10), but suddenly stopped. Firefox Quantum 69.0 64 bit, system Windows 10 installed a month ago (updated daily), GTX750 Ti, CPU i7-3770, 16 GB RAM. I've tried to clear cache, cookies and google for the solution, but nothing helped. Months ago, when Firefox showed "Earth 3d view is not available" (in the right bottom corner of the map) I could just click that link, and choose "Other versions..." and "Open Maps in 3d" but it doesn't work any more. Earth 3d map view works in Chrome. Please help!

First of all, I hate everything about Yandex and I will not ever use it simply because it tries to force itself into our lives. Anyway, this is not the main problem. Every once in a while I keep getting Yandex set as the default search engine for Firefox and every time, I delete all search engines and just leave Google. Why does this happen over and over again?
A short statement from a longtime Mozila user. Seems Mozilla could create a Browser that "responds" more often than the current one.

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I had the now common "using an older version of Firefox, create new profile" to which I have now repeated the same process 3 times, then lo it all works, so happy browsing for over 3 hours, then I shut Firefox down, and then 15 minutes later open up Firefox and get told I am using an older version and need to create a new profile. Are Mozilla employing 7 year olds now?
Google Sheets - using + or * signs don't move the cursor, so previous cell address is overwritten in the formula

[Added an attachment to simplify the explanation]
Suppose that I want to write the formula A1+A2 (or A1*A2). If I click A1 and then use the '+' sign. The sign it appears right after the cursor, so the cursor it's now between the A1 and the '+' sign, and the A1 text in the formula remains -I would say- selected as if nothing was written. So whatever I write or click afterwards overwrites the A1 cell reference making it impossible to write a formula.
I'm in Win10 with Firefox v69.0, both latest versions in English with a Spanish Intl. keyboard and layout. Checked in a couple of spreadsheets including a blank one.
Things that I have already tried:
- Disabled all add-ons on all tests
- Tried doing the same on Chrome, Opera, Edge (edgeHTML), Safari and FF for Mac. Only happens in FF both Mac and Win.
- It only happens when the previous cell was introduced using the mouse or the arrow keys, not if it was written.
- Only happens when using the '+' (or '*') from the regular keyboard, not the one from the numerical keypad.
- Switched to Spanish Windows and Firefox. Doesn't work either.
- Tested old Firefox versions, including, ESR.
- Changed the keyboard layout. With some of them it works (US, UK, US_Intl, FR, PL programmers) and with others doesn't (ES, DE, IT, FI and serbian). Moreover, few of them (FR and FI) works for one sign (+ or *) but not for the other.
Any ideas? Thanks

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.
