Firefox Community Forum

Hi there I have the problem that my firefox can save any file or download on my other drives since they arent event show as an option. I did a little research and read that by default in linux for security reason was unable to, but asking in the official forum of my distro (cachyos), they can save thing in other drives with no problems.

So i wanted to know why i dont?, my firefox installation is native at installing the dristro and having all perimission but it cant see my drives except the one is installed to (and where my OS is).

The only thing different i actually do is the folder where my current user info is saved, i moved the files from my user but with the files i had from my old windows session to impor my saved sites, favorites, etc.

Can you help me to be able to save files or images on my other drives?, thank you for time.

Hello,

In multi-window browser sessions on Linux, the "Recently closed tabs" menu shows a list of URLs relevant to the parent (aka current) window, and that is both perfectly logical and highly useful. It makes it a lot easier to find that specific URL you're looking for, if not only because it increases the chance that it hasn't yet been flushed out of the recently-closed list.

I have a very distinct memory that this was the case on Mac too for the URLs showed by this menu when accessed via the "hamburger menu". I'm positive that I accessed the function via the hamburger menu rather than the faster way via the menubar for that very reason. And I just realised that it's no longer possible starting with at least v143.

With the Mac's global menu bar it would stand to reason that it presents lists that are "global" to the session, but I see no good *usability* reason that would justify *not* using window-specific lists under the hamburger menu.

One could of course argue that it's confusing and a "burden" to the user that s/he would need to remember in which window the looked-for tab once lived. But that argument would apply to all platforms, and this is supposed to be about *recently* closed tabs and one has to assume that the majority of users have no issue remembering in which window they have (or had!) a given tab open. (And that otherwise they'd be using a singe window, probably maximised to occupy the entire screen ;) ).

Hi experts,

Recently, I couldn't log in the Globus through Mozilla Firefox browser where I usually log in the Globus successfully. It just stopped and nothing happened. Could you please let me know how to address this issue? If you need any other information from me, please feel free to reach out to me.

Thanks, Jian
