A few versions ago, Firefox (Mac) changed behavior when clicking on a link in an outside program. Specifically, if Firefox is not running and I click a link in Outlook, Firefox opens the clicked link in a tab but also opens my homepage in a second tab. Since I'm only interested in the clicked link at this time I don't want it to open my home page, just the clicked link. This problem is exacerbated by my.yahoo.com which causes a switch from the tab containing the clicked link to the homepage tab.

How do I get Firefox to only open the link that I clicked and not my homepage in addition? This was the normal behavior until a few months ago.

Mac OS 11.7.4 Firefox 110.0.1

Thank you!

I really often need to copy/paste from a terminal opened in my browser. Because the shortcut for copying in a terminal is always Ctrl+Shift+C, it's a mess to have instead Firefox opening Inspector from devtools.

How can I disable this shortcut ?

I've tried to update some about:config settings but it doesn't seem to be helpful and old working correctives add-ons are not supported anymore.

My cat was sitting lap top with firefox open. It was open to Amazon. Now whenever I open amazon, I am stuck with huge print and the need to scroll to see even small parts of one page. I cannot figure out how to get it back to something near the default size. I have a relatively new Lenovo laptop.

There used to be a way that we could change a setting to make Firefox prompt whether a user wanted to save on exit. This was extremely useful as I had the choice each time. Sometimes I want to automatically resume my last session, but most of the time I don't. I don't think it should be necessary to have to select 'Restore previous session' as sometimes when I start Firefox I don't remember and I've lost important websites that I haven't bookmarked.

Is there a way to do this in the current version of Firefox? I miss it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Firefox is very slow. If i do the same browsing, in Chrome, there is no problems.

Reinstall Firefox, and all the guides, is tested - no luck.

I really love Firefox, and have used it, for many years, but this slow experience - that will scare me away.

Ive tried all the forums with support and none of them worked. Troubleshoot mode works and fixes the scrolling but even after disabling all extensions and themes the scrolling still does not work. I've done the refresh page and uninstalled and installed. Scrolling works with all other programs but not firefox.

Hi

Little thing really but still slightly annoying. why cant i move the Extensions button? I personaly have no need for it on my browser and i really dont like it there! thats where my bookmarks button sits. I use Firefox because its the best and most customizable browser available, so i struggle to understand why this one button is uncustomizable. Please could you unlock the button so it can be places anywhere, like the rest the buttons of your awsome browser, or as in my case, just removed.

thanks guys Keep up the awsom work.

Hi, I recently needed to wipe my drive and reinstall my windows install. Since i was connected to a Firefox account and enabled sync i thought that all my extensions and bookmarks would show up when i logged back in on my newly reset computer. But problem is that i just logged in and nothing is sync, i lost everything! Is there any way to get it back somehow or is everything lost?

Thank you!

After updating to the latest version of Firefox (110.0.1) I can no longer sign in to my navy account. I've been using Firefox for years and never had an issue.

Normally, when I sign in, it brings me to their dual authentication page. Now, I just get an "access denied" page.

I used other browsers to sign in to ensure the issue wasn't with the Navyfederal.org webpage. But I can sign in without issues there.

How can I revert to a previous version?

I tried to optimize settings for these aging eyes, and now I have messed up the pages such that I can't read some lines. I am not a computer person, and some terminology I don't understand. Specifically, how do I set the colors, etc. so that I can read the items? Is there a default button to set everything back to normal? Thank you, [email removed from public]

I recently reset my password for my Walmart account. After doing this, I logged out and attempted to log back in.

Strangely, the log in page appeared more as a "create account" page, that is to say, it asked for an email, my full name, and to create a password.

I called support while still sitting on the page, we reasoned that if I tired to "create account" with my existing email that I was using, logically, i would get an error saying that I already had an account using that email, so I continued and to my surprise--I logged in.

However, I cannot view any of my personal information, nor the items I had saved in my cart or any type of payment information.

Mind you, I had an conflict with the Feb update to Firefox and Walmart which was similar except that I can see the image of a cart on the cart and purchase history page, at that time there were no images, but it seemed to sort itself out over a couple of hours.

As with that error, I logged into Walmart with Chrome, using the new password and am able to view all my information. I can also log into the ap with my new password, and view all my information. I simply can't log into it with Firefox and see anything, it's almost as if did create a new accoiunt, except that I can log in with the new password and view all my information in Chrome and the ap on myh phone.

To sum it up, I changed the password in Firefox, the new password works in all three cases except in Firefox I cannot view my personal information.

I do not have a screenshot of the page when I first tried to log back in with Firefox, though it was odd and somewhat unexpected.d The only way to change my password now is in Chrome, or the ap, so I cannot say if that screen would appear again or not or what would happen.

Nevertheless, I understand that Walmart.com has become a "known issue" for a lot of people. I contacted, supposedly, their IT support and was told that it would probably fix itself, more or less.

Still, I thought to post this just in case.

Thank you.

I recently got Windows 10 set up with a Korean keyboard, but when I go to Firefox, the language remains English. To wit, I am typing this right now with the Korean keyboard selected. Tabbing out to a different program works as expected.

When I try to switch the keyboard, it doesn't matter which is selected--it always types in English.

I could find no troubleshooting help online for this.

Why is Firefox ignoring my input language?

I have been unable to see any linked in page for a while now. Clicking on a link from a message email opens a page which just displays LINKEDIN.

If I copy/paste the link into a private window I can get in, but not with a normal window. I've ran CCcleaner but nothing changes, cleaned everything!

the links work in other browsers in normal mode, why not firefox?
