I am using WIN10 and want to use my Firefox to open a pdf file and extract the text to input into a word processor. I saw a youtube video on it but it didn't work for me.

If I am using Sync and I want to delete a bookmark from "Manage Bookmarks" say, doe that book mark get deleted from the synced database on the Mozilla server? And if so, does it then get deleted from my other synced devices like Firefox for Android on my mobile next time I used Firefox on my phone?

hi totally blind and using a screen reader jaws for windows from http://www.freedomscientific.com and a member of blind information technology specialists and trying to login into my bits-acb.org account, ahve the correct user email and apsswrod, but keeps telling me that the password is incorrect. they use a word press site and word press login site. so can you help, a firefox bug and got firefox 129 on a hp pavillion laptop running windows 11 latest update and firefox 129 latest update, so this is a bug. can the support people fix this. frustrating, and then after about 10 tries then get locked out for 24 hours.

Frequently, I notice on Youtube the UI just freezes entirely for ~1-5 seconds, usually periodically. I've measured it most recently around every 10 seconds or so (manual stopwatch in another tab, so a little faster or slower possible).

When in this state, I can often notice it frequently: on hovering over buttons the UI does not highlight them, the video controls will not appear, or the page will not fill the screen on resize, can't click into search, etc. Basically just full page freeze except for media playback.

It's disappeared and come back a few times, but tends to be more often there than not. This occurs on every page of Youtube. I've tried disabling basically all my extensions and refreshing the page without any change.

I've also captured a performance profile while I was moving around between buttons and observing the issue, as I assume it might help diagnose: https://share.firefox.dev/3Xqz7co

I am on Windows 11. I use a Vodafone network. Most of the time I anable to access the internet. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I do not use a proxy. I am totally frustrated. When I go to settings/networks it tells me that all is OK and I am connected.

Firefox I have been using for years on my pc, and all has been fine, until a couple of days ago i tried to uploads a thumbnail to youtube and it just hangs, it works on other browsers, also uploading a video, again no progress at all it just hangs at 0% uploaded. Ive tried everything and no change, ive changed nothing, one day it worked and then it stopped. I upload videos everyday so this needs to be working for me, or I need a new browser asap as this is my business. I cannot find anything about this error online. v 129.02 (64 bit). Please advise.

We require disabling password sync at org-level by deploying changes in registry or Group Policy. Currently we do not see any option to disable password sync except at browser level which leaves the user in control. However as IT and security admins, we would like to implement this as a global policy so corporate portal passwords are not synced to unmanaged devices. Please suggest a solution.

Are my passwords secure if I just use FireFox right out of the box (just downloaded) without logging into my FireFox/Mozilla account? Firewall is on.

Or must I be logged in for best security?

I use a 2024 MacBook Air M3. FF version 129.0.2 macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Thanks, Tom
