Is Firefox Private Network as good as a VPN?
I need to use a public network soon. I was going to use a VPN service. I just enabled Firefox Private Network. Will it protect me in the same way?

I don't care [to take the time to find out] what's causing it; I just want to stop it. I always click "Stop it". Now I just want to avoid ever seeing it, or it would be ok to see the message for a second or so but then have FF click "Stop it".
Thank you

In Firefox, CC does not display on Facebook videos. CC displays in ALL other browsers - Chrome, MS Edge, & IE for FB videos, but not in FF. To comply with accessibility requirements (ADA), CC must be available on all browsers and platforms. If CC is not available via Firefox, then we won't be able to post any videos to FB any longer - all must have CC available.
How do I get firefox portable to notify me of updates and download them to a USB flash drive instead of leaving files on other people's computers?

I am using Firefox as portable app, with --no-remote --profile "%profile_path%". I update it regularly, it's convenient for me to see notifications of new updates and install them whenever I see fit. I recently noticed that Firefox creates a folder on every computer C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates, which is not good for the portable version, really. The only way to stop this I found was to completely disable updates via distribution\policies. I don't want to. How do I get firefox to notify me of updates and download them to a USB flash drive (it will be perfect if i could specify folder for this purpose) instead of leaving files on other people's computers?

Angry bird friends Facebook app. will not load, I get half the top banner then flips to white screen.
Cleared cache, Flash player up to date. I've tried re-installing flash. The app. work on Opera browser ( I think it uses a different flash player).
Also I'm concerned about the long wait when I initially start Firefox, I do think the speed 'blurp' given is over hyped. To be honest after all these years I am losing faith with Firefox.

Yesterday, my New Tab page that's usually set with three rows and five columns of Top Sites suddenly had seven columns instead. This happened suddenly in the middle of the day, while I was using Firefox. I've restarted FF, and restarted my PC. I've tried the about:config browser.newtabpage.columns variable that I've seen posted in various places as a fix, but that variable doesn't exist any longer. I've tried this fix: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1242653, and it didn't do anything at all.
How do I change it back to five columns like it was before?
Edit: Well, it's actually eight columns now, and it was six before the change. Apparently I can't even count to six and eight! The fact remains that it's suddenly different for no apparent reason, and I'd like to figure out how to change it back.

In the print dialog box the option 'print each frame' is gone. As someone asked, you can do a right click and print a selected frame. But that's a whole different thing. I want to print all frames on the page at once. I use a PC , if that makes a difference
So how can I get it back? Or do I need to switch browser?

I always use Private Browsing. While searching for something else, I found a bunch of files in ...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\*. The files are mostly graphics and documents from web pages I visited. Why are they not deleted when Firefox is closed? How can I get rid of them? Are there other places I have to look for similar things?

When I try to print anything like a receipt for my online bills or anything. As soon as I click print the Firefox Screen disappears and I get a Crash notice. I had to change my printer from being connected (wired) because the printer said it was not connected to my Ethernet. So now I have it set up as WiFi and it says it is connected. I followed my printers guides and it should be okay. I did try downloading the latest version of Firefox but it still would not let me print. I lose all of my Bookmarks & other things I had if I keep the new download. I don't want to redo all of my bill info or other things I have bookmarked. Why does Firefox crash?

I have no idea how or why this suddenly happened.

In short: when I try to change my master password, I get "Unable to change Master Password." error. When I try to remove it, nothing happens.
I've tried numerous "fixes" already, alas none solved the issue. I suspect the logins.json is corrupted in some way or it might contain lines that bug Firefox out somehow. At this point I am only trying to figure out a way to export my passwords and import them back again to Firefox.
Do let me know if you can think of any reliable way to do so as I am all out of ideas. Yes I am aware that I could just manually enter everything again but I'd rather not do that with hundreds if not thousands of websites.
Basic things I tried so far: 1. Reinstalling Firefox.
2. Clearing cache and removing cookies.
3. Disabling plugins and addons.
4. Removing/renaming specific files in the profile folder like pkcs11.txt that was mentioned as a solution for similar issues.
5. Trying safe mode.
6. Creating a new profile and copying over just the aforementioned two files (fresh profile works like a charm but the password files bug Firefox out).
7. Using old key4.db, as I have some backups.
8. Usual malware, virus, windows integrity checks and basic troubleshooting was all done.

Hello! CCleaner accidentally deleted not only cookie-files of Firefox, but all the history too. I've tried to recover the "places.sqlite" file with such softwares as Recuva and HstEx, but it didn't find the "places.sqlite" anywhere on hardrive, including the Mozilla folder in AppData. Is there any way to recover history? For example, with Firefox account synchronization.

When I try to view any of the many videos that I have from Amazon, including the many that used to work fine, now cause a WidevineCDM crash error. I have rebooted, disabled all add-ons and rebooted again, tried private view session, and even removing the WideVineCdm folder and placing it on the desktop as someone in the community suggested to another person. I have reloaded Adobe FlashPlayer to ensure it was not a problem. Of course, when I called Amazon they were totally CLUELESS. Further Troubleshooting has narrowed it down to FireFox specific issue as the videos all work fine in Chrome, I.E. and Edge. Only in FireFox do they fail. I really do like FireFox and would like to keep using it--any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Firefox keeps on asking for microphone permission.

How many times do I need to Allow? 1000? 10,000? 100,000? You'd think that this browser would wake up and remember what users are inputting. There are few things more aggravating than being asked the same question over and over. It is utterly astounding that so many software designers seem to be unable to comprehend this. I wonder if they are truly living in another dimension. To think that so much of our lives are controlled by these mindless idiots is so sad. No wonder so much of our society is so inefficient. The problem seems to be centered on calling with Gmail. Calling with Google Hangouts seems to be fine. It may be a Flash problem. Probably as Adobe is such a horrible company, being so intrusive and stubborn in so much of their products. I guess Google chose them as a lesser of several evils. The thing is I've gone into Control Panel, Flash Player (though it says its 32 bit and I'm on a 64 bit system) and allowed gmail.com yet it still doesn't make a difference. In Firefox Permissions (hey, how come about:permissions no longer works?) I see Hangouts.google.com is there but Gmail.com is not there even though I've allowed it 100 times. Why would it not be retained? That is probably the problem. And looking at that stupid Permissions page is so aggravating. Such a total design failure. You can Remove All Websites, but you can't ADD ANY WEBSITES. IDIOTS!!!! If I could, Gmail wouldn't ask me every time I laod or refresh the page. Just think: People are actually getting paid, often very well, for moronic work like this. Boggles the mind.
