I play cards at cardzmania.com using Firefox. If I exit Firefox and reload it, cardzmania remembers exactly where I was. Formerly, I could stop this by clearing the cache files at c:/users/user_name/AppData/Local/Temp andc:/users/user_name/AppData/Local/Mozilla. This no longer works. Even if I use Privazer to clear temporary Internet files, cardzmania remembers me.

In short, Mozilla is storing user data in a file I can't find and empty.

This disturbs me.

I'm not terribly concerned about cardzmania taking over my computer for nefarious purposes or spying on me, but the inability to find and delete files that permit cardzmania to remember who I am means other programs could do the same.

I always use Firefox but just now when I go on ebay I can't see the usual tabs that let me see my watchlist, items I'm bidding on, saved searches, etc. But when I try Chrome they are all there.

I am being asked for OTP when logging into Amazon website and when I click on send I do not get the OTP - it says thru authentication app, but I don't believe I have that app and don't know how to get it

In my bookmarks, I have two folders of the same name. They are located under different top folders, though. So:

• All bookmarks
• * Bookmarks Toolbar
• * * topLevel1
• * * * sameName
• * * * * "someBookmarks"
• * * topLevel2
• * * * sameName
• * * * * "someOtherBookmarks"

Soon after doing this, they two folders sameName will move to the same top folder, all the bookmarks in the first are copied to the second, and then the second is emptied, such that I end up with this configuration:

• All bookmarks
• * Bookmarks Toolbar
• * * topLevel1
• * * topLevel2
• * * * sameName
• * * * * "someBookmarks"
• * * * * "someOtherBookmarks"
• * * * sameName

How do I get this behavior to stop?

I just wanted to comment the existing Ticket https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291420

Which for any reason has been archived. I have the same problem and it is in the way every day:

Quote from the ticket refered: >I use multiple virtual desktops (let's call them A, B, C, and D) on Windows 10, and have a separate Firefox >window running in each.

>When I use the browser on, say, desktop D, then switch to desktop A and click a link from another application, >Firefox moves me back to desktop D and opens the link in a tab back there. If I had opened a blank tab in the >browser on desktop A first, the link would have opened in that window.

>How can I get Firefox to open links in the browser window that is on the current desktop, instead of in the most >recently used window? Chrome works this way, so I don't think it's a fundamental limit of Windows virtual >desktops.

What is this ludicrous FLASHING TAB INSANITY every time you LOAD A FREAKING PAGE in the new firefox theme UI WHERE are the reasonable themes that do not GO INSANE EVERY PAGE LOAD that is bloody MADNESS HAHA! ALSO how to fix the address bar autofill THIS IS THE ONLY MAJOR BROWSER that does not autofill to subpage that you frequent WITH BOOKMARK AND ALWAYS TOP LEVEL DOMAIN ON PAGE, very silly and can VERY USE A FIX GET THIS BROWSER up to speed as the other ones THAT SHOULD BE DEFAULT CLEARLY! ADD ON FOR THAT EVEN TO MAKE A FIX. YES THANKS.

Hello,

Since the last Firefox update I am being prompted for my primary password at random intervals of time. Before I only needed to enter my primary password once per session and this new behavior is a bit worrying as I didn't see it documented anywhere (is that really Firefox asking me for my credentials?). I had a look in the settings but couldn't see any new "timeout" feature or anything in the Privacy & Security section. What gives?

Thanks for any answer that will explain this mew behavior.

Can I move the hovertext out from under my large Windows mouse pointer so I can read the hidden first word of the text? Moving it up above the point instead of below the point would be great. Is there an about: that will do that?

If I'm viewing a pdf in firefox, and I search for a word using ctrl+F, the viewer should jump to the location of the word. But recently for me the viewer is showing the wrong spot in the document. This happens for all pdfs.

For example, if a pdf has the word "fox" on page 4, when I use ctrl+F to search for "fox", firefox will jump to page 3 of the document, not page 4. I have to scroll around searching for the word.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello.

Up until recently, I could click a link to a locally stored Python source file (.py extension) and it would display as a plain text file in Firefox. This is what I want; e.g., it is a way that I view my notes, refer to examples, and so on.

Starting a few days ago, when I click such a link, I now get a pop-up window with the two options "Open with" or "Save file." I have tried a number of things to get back to the old behavior, including deleting the handlers.json file in my Profile folder, running a full Refresh, and creating a new profile. None of these got me back to the old behavior: displaying the .py file as plain text.

If I set the "Open with" option in that pop-up window to Firefox, I just keep getting the pop-up over and over again, while a new tab is created each time.

Note: if I look at a .py file on GitHub, there is no problem: again, the file just displays.

I suspected this behavior is connected with my having installed the latest version of Python (3.9.6) a few days ago, and I just confirmed this by updating Python on another machine. That is, on the other machine, the .py file would display as plain text until just now, after I update Python there.

So, I believe the Python installation is the cause of the problem, but, nonetheless, it seems to me that I should be able to set (or unset?) something within Firefox to make .py files open as plain text, as they used to.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever I try to print anything in Firefox, I get a box that pops up with a spinner and the message "Preparing Preview". This goes on forever, and never goes away. I've tried the suggestion found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox, and that did not help.

I can print if I go in to about:config and set "print.tab_modal.enabled" to "false". But, this doesn't allow me to preview what I am printing first.

I'm on version 90.0.2 (64-bit) of Firefox.

Any help is appreciated.

Firefox starts now with a total white screen for about 30sec before it starts loading my homepage ! and do not get why it is suddenly . It started after windows update what i straight away had to to disable cause of taskbar bug

Hello all,

Lately I received a report from some colleagues that a certain feature is not working in Firefox that appears to be working on any other browser.

When drag/dropping e-mails and/or attachments from Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise) to a drop-field in Firefox (88.0.1 - 64-bit) nothing happens.

When using Firefox we can drag/drop files from Windows Explorer, but not from Outlook.

The same fields do work flawlessly when drag/dropping e-mails and/or attachments from Microsoft Outlook in Google Chrome, Microsoft EDGE, Opera and Safari. So Firefox is the only browser - on several OS's - that does not allow e-mails/attachments to be dropped from Microsoft Outlook. We have tested multiple users on different workstation and we have tested drop-fields from several web applications.

Surprisingly I cannot find any solution to this. The only similar cases I was able to find are from a couple of years ago but are about the other way around (so drag/dropping files FROM Firefox to another application).

At this moment I am advising my colleagues to use another browser. But we really want this to work properly with any browser of choice. Hope this community can help us out.

The update to Firefox 89.0 did not fix this problem.

Note: UAC is enabled on the workstations. Disabling does not affect anything. Tested attachments: .pdf, .docx, .html & .xlsx

Hello, my hero! I need your help. Look at the screenshot and you will understand faster. Is it possible to return the icons to Firefox dropdown menus after Firefox removed this functionality in June updates? For example, if you open "Application menu" you cannot work fast because you have to read all those menus. It makes my work too slow! I have got used to visual pictograms, but now they are gone, not-thanks to you Firefox devs!!! New tab, New window, New private window, Bookmars, History, Downloads, Passwords, all of these are just words, just text! It used to be so convenient just to quickly click the icon, and now i have to read all the wordsto hopefully find the required function. Can you make icons for those menus, please? Or at least, is there any extension for this? p.s. Come on Firefox, you have only made the design worse because it slows down people's ability to find the required things. How can this text be better than icons??? Do I have to count them or should I have a reaction of an insect? p.s.s. Firefox 90.0.2.

I synced my data after signing in the firefox account. Now I am signed in different system and logged in to firefox. But it is not syncing the previously synced data on new system.
