Missing screenshot feature for laptop/desktop.
I go to screenshot a page today and I can't because the feature is now missing from the browser bar. Has it been relocated? If so, where to?

Exactly what I have been waiting for. Wonder do I owe big for it.

I'm using FF on Linux FC 30. If I download a file, let's say it's an RPM file it gives I get a dialog that says "You have chosen to open: Someprogram-1.2.3.rpm. What should Firefox do with this file Open with Apper Installer (default)"
If I click OK, nothing seems to happen. The "Apper" program does not open. Similarly, if I download a PDF, a PDF viewer does not open either. I'm not sure why it offers to open with that if it does not actually do it."
Instead, I have to click on the Downloads arrow, open the containing folder, right click on the file in a file explorer and have it open that application. Or, find wherever FF decided to put the file, currently FF favors /tmp/mozilla_my_id_0 and execute the program in a terminal.
I'd like to have FF actually do what it offered to do. I like to have it ask first. That part is good. But I want it to actually run the program. Apper exists on my system, and I have PDF viewers as well.
Secondly, I want to have FF download files in the normal Downloads folder and not some place off /tmp.
How can both things be fixed?
Thanks, Ben

Before Firefox was downloaded, I had to use Safari. It had an arbitrary list of top sites that had nothing to do with my computer use and I could not edit it. Firefox imported that weird list and now many of the top sites listed in Firefox are ones I never will use and I can't add the ones I want. Firefox help says to click on the 3 dots in the address bar and click on Add top sites but it is not there. That does not help with deleting the wrong ones or adding my real top sites. What else can I do?
I don’t have the Firefox app a but I do have the program on my iPhone how do I get the app back?
When Firefox is my default browser and I click a link in my email two browsers open, one with the link i clicked on and one with my homepage

Hello!
Every so often I accidentally trigger what looks like an input field of some kind.
I have managed to reproduce this ( WinKey + / ) but still have no idea what it is.
Can anyone tell me what this is, or what it's used for? I've attached a couple of image files; one of them is a closeup.
Perhaps it's an add-on that's doing this...
Thanks and have a great day!

Hey folks,
Hope everyone is doing well.
The title pretty much sums it up. When I right click on a link to select "open link in new tab" (or other selection), the menu seems to open just beneath the cursor causing an instantaneous selection (usually opens a new tab). I've tried using the browser without any extensions and the problem keeps occurring (just happened now when I tried to select the correct spelling for occurring).
This only seems to happen with Firefox.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
When I now open a Private Window, a regular Firefox window also opens. What's with this?

FEEDBACK FROM A VERY UNHAPPY FIREFOX USER 01-JUN-2021
I received a push update to Firefox 89.0. On my machine (which has a small screen geometry) the new layout is very (very) inefficient - waaaay too much space between screen widgets.
I looked for how to reverse the UI in 89.0 and the procedure was too complicated and time consuming to do in the time available.
I downloaded Firefox 88.0.1 and installed that over 89.0, but upon startup it will not accept the profiles and insists on creating a new profile or exiting (either option BAD).
Fortunately I had imaged the whole machine about a week before, so I was able to get back to 88.0.1 and resume use of my profiles (which have lots of stored data and specific preferences.)
MOZILLA FIREFOX TEAM HERE THIS:
1. Pushing down a non-trivial change to UI is very Windows-8-esque and is bad form without an option to (easily) back out. Microsoft has evidently learned this lesson - each Windows 10 update comes with an option to back out.
2. Leaving Mozilla's "feedback" page inoperative when pushing this extent of update is bad form.
3. My trust in Mozilla is somewhat damaged at this point; I will not accept any update after 88.0.1 I am running now until I have time to pre-test it in a "safe" environment.

Why can I no longer use the Firefox default theme? I can select it, and it is listed as "Enabled" but the plain grey screen keeps showing not the default. Also, is there away to go back to Firefox 88.0.1 and not have it update again? I went to Add-ons & Themes and disable automatic updates but I still got the prompt informing me to restart Firefox to update. Is it just me or is Firefox really getting worse with each update?
