I was looking for a way to reset Firefox to bring back the previous print preview. In several places the person offering an answer suggests sending feedback to Mozilla re the changes, but... no link or place to send feedback.

My desktop and laptop have only just been updated to the latest version with very bright white backgrounds, really large firefox icon on home page, less definition between tabs, a lighter weight font on menus, strange layout on the hamburger menu, and a reset to a google-like print window.

I tried on my desktop to change the bright white background using the colors option. Once I found the settings to tone down the brightness to a very pale grey for the home page and results page, every page I went to had changed fonts and lost colors.

Print preview was an awesome tool, many web pages are set up in such a way that when it is printed the fonts are huge, and the web page header prints over the text of the printout. On the worst panels of links to other stories and ads also print. Your preview allowed me to zoom in/out easily and the simplified version was brilliant.

The tabs are grey on grey with no definite edge, and they just keep shrinking showing less and less of the tab name, instead of hiding extra tabs of the edges. I have 10-20 tabs open on a regular basis often in 2 separate windows and would much rather have a tab label that IDs the page than having to click on each page.

Font - the menu font is now a small fine sans serif that is difficult to read.

Hamburger menu - Why is new tab, find in page, save page as, and print here? In particular why are they at the top of the menu? Please move the new tab panel and print panel to the bottom, the Bookmarks panel to the top and put the Settings panel immediately below it. It would also help if you added a cog icon to the settings panel.

Please add a feedback link without sign-on to your page.

I've backed up my profile many times with nary a problem. Tonight, while attempting to copy it, the attached message was displayed. Typical for a Microsoft error message, it was most unhelpful. No clue as to which file name is the offender.

i WILL SIMPLY REPEAT ANOTHER'S CONCERN; WHY DOES FIREFOX KEEP INTERRUPTING THE BROWSER W/THE 'ANNOYING' POP-UPS?! FORCING SUCH CRAP WILL ONLY ASSURE PEOPLE WILL GO 'ELSEWHERE' WHICH OF COARSE SUCKS AS NORMALLY THEY WOULD NOT WISH TO. TAKE A CHILL PILL FF! (Bad enough Thunderbird is a crap-fest as when lost you can not get it back and 'no one' really seems to have a clue. Just phony (in house) remedies that never work- probably why Mozilla is history!)

I know this is probably an odd issue. I have a website that I use frequently and one of the drop down boxes on the website changes the selection I make automatically if I move from one screen to the next then back again. What would cause this issue?

I have cleared everything from the browser and done a refresh. I also cleared the startup cache. The refresh corrected the issue for a few hours but then it started again. Clearing the startup cache worked for about 5 minutes then it started again.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

FF 94.0.2 right click Context Menus hang and other issues since update from FF 88

Running ROCK SOLID Windows 7 SP 1 64 bit. Last week updated 64 bit FF from 88xx to 94.0.2. EVERYTHING was working fine with FF 88 except for videos on CNN.

After update when I right click in FF the small Context Menu freezes. Subsequent right clicks launches the same Menu. See attached image. When I mess around with scrolling they go away.

Also, when I'm going back and forth between a FF web page and a file in another app to cut and paste text or images, half of one or the other screens hang.

I'm an old geek and I did ALL of the recommendations including a complete clean uninstall and clean reinstall of FF 94.0.2... I've spent hours trying to solve the problem...

I'm having NO PROBLEMS with Chrome or Opera or any other SW on this PC.

BTW, DON'T EVEN SUGGEST GOING TO Windows 10 or 11. I have 10 but I use 7 on this PC for a lot of reasons.

Like I said, problems began after 94.0.2 update.

Regards,

Chas.

Hardware: New R 12 (DELL) and AW 25 HD Monitor OS: Windows 11 - Office 365 Pro User Firefox: 95.0 ( 64 b) updated

A. I stripped gaming and XBOX software off my OS. B. My OS is dedicated to using MS Office apps and programs. C. I customized my Firefox to be in ultra privacy mode. D. I am running ESET Antivirus E. I scan for malware on a weekly basis - no recent detections.

1. Does anyone experience Google.com launching as a new tab when Firefox is launched? I deleted Google off my PC. I deleted google in the Firefox app - I have programmed StartPage as my search engine. Somehow it launches when I am using Firefox. It comes up as a new tab. Annoying.

So for the longest of time I've been using Firefox and it wasn't until today that I realized that your English dictionary wants to correct my name.

Alita.

That's my name, but according to your dictionary the only valid options are as follows, Akita Alia Alta Altai Alisa

So according to you, a name with 2 or less people using it in my country is more valid than my own that thousands of people have? Could you update the library to add my name?

When I scroll, the program goes underneath the icons and search bar.I can't use the stock program like this. Are there any settings that would solve this problem? I have a couple of other programs that do overlay the icons and search bar. Thank you for your time.
