I thought that this was a problem related to my old laptop. Now, after I got a new laptop, I just signed in into my firefox account and made it sync my data, and to my surprise the amazon logo still does not show up correctly for me on firefox. Please advise! :)

Earthlink E-mail both old and new versions do not work properly in Firefox 57 and higher. The function tabs above any message (print, delete etc.) don't respond to clicking. They used to work just fine. Everything works in IE but I use Firefox. The Options are set to open tabs in new windows as always. Earthlink tech support says it's Firefox's problem.

I was reading an article on Sophos about Firefox and how it is protecting our privacy
In the comments it listed 3 sites to check how unique your browser is: https://www.deviceinfo.me – Device Info https://panopticlick.eff.org – Panopticlick https://amiunique.org – AmIUnique
I have Fingerprinters checked to be blocked but on all these sites it still was able to uniquely ID my browser. I thought I had the options set pretty well to lock it down but it doesn't seem that way. Is something not working right or ???
Thanks

When I try to login to my account on U.S. Cellular, it immediately takes me to another page that says, "It's not you, it's us. An error has occurred, and we can't display this page right now." .. except that it isn't. I can get there fine using either Vivaldi or Google Chrome, but going to the login page with Firefox takes me right back to the error page. Though I have other browsers on my laptop, I'd rather not have to use them. What is going on with Firefox?
Problem with enabling two-step authentication for Firefox

I have tried to enable two-step authentication for Firefox using Authy 2-factor Authentication app for several times, but to no avail. Prior to trying to enable it for Firefox, I succesfully enabled two-factor authentication for my Facebook, Google and Microsoft accounts. After trying it for Firefox, I also did it for my PayPal account, so the Authy app doesn't seem to be the problem here. I tried typing the six numbers with and without space in between and multiple times in two consecutive days, bot nothing seems to work. I read the QR code succesfully and added Firefox on Authy, but the code just always seems to be incorrect (I'm not sure how to translate it in english, I am using Firefox in Finnish, see the attached image). I censored all the codes in the image.
I would really like to get this to work, as two-step authentication seems to be a good way to make my account a lot more secure.
After selecting two step authentication and using google authenticator, The page doesnt want to accept the generated code to enable two step auth.
I've tried on firefox 70.0.1, go to my account, privacy/security, and clicked enable 2step. i see the QR code come up, I use google authenticator to add a account, scan… (read more)
I've tried on firefox 70.0.1, go to my account, privacy/security, and clicked enable 2step. i see the QR code come up, I use google authenticator to add a account, scan the QR code, the generator is successful and displays a timed key.
No amount of time or keys I've entered works. The page just tells me "Invalid two-step authentication code"
I've tried adding manually with a text key instead of QR and still the same thing.

Hi
Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)
Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.
Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks Dave
"New tab" in bookmark toolbar does not open new tab. Instead it blanks the current tab with the new tab page. How to fix?

I purchased a new computer (Lenovo Ideapad 540S) with Windows 10 OS. Reinstalled Firefox. My bookmark toolbar has a "New Tab" Icon. In my old computer, clicking "new tab" would open a new tab and display the new tab page. Now, clicking the New Tab icon creates a new tab page on the page that I am starting from. In other words -- no new tab opens, but the current page I am looking at becomes a new tab page. I still get a new tab if i click the "+" sign in the tabs and if I right click on the New Tab icon and and select "open in new tab" but I thought the New Tab Icon was supposed to .. you know ... open a new tab.

This must have been asked over and over, but I've not been here before, so please forgive me. I cannot seem to find a simple dictionary extension for Firefox Quantum, something which defines a highlighted word. The one in Chrome works just fine, but I prefer to use Firefox. We used to have pop-up dictionaries, but they seem to have gone away. A search on the extensions page invariable deals only with translation dictionaries. Should I just stop looking for one, or am I missing something. Thanks.

My Desktop has bookmarks going all the way back to Netscape 1.0 (1995), my LapPad bookmarks go back just a few years. I would like to be able to decide which takes precedence like the Contacts merge in Gmail.
I have been a database user/programmer/coder for the last 50 years, and I know the grief you can run into if update does not go as planned. I could wind up with 1995 data overwriting 2019 data.
Please help or point me to where I can find answers?
Unknown certificate issuer on new Firefox profile on Windows 10

Using 64-bit Firefox on a Windows 10 system (version 1909, OS Build 18363.476), there is a site which works fine when using an old profile but which for news profiles gives a “Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue” message with error code SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit https://www.bancosantander.es/
2. Click on the top-right red square with a lock icon and the text “Acceso clientes” / “Accés clients”
A frame with a login form should appear but instead an error page shows up (the certificate is for particulares.bancosantander.es and the issuer CN Entrust Certification Authority - L1M; if necessary I can paste the about:certificate string).
The profiles that work were created on previous builds of both Firefox and Windows. On the aforementioned Windows version, all tested Firefox builds (stable 71.0.0 and unbranded builds reaching back to Firefox 68.0.1) do not work (the profiles might have been created earlier but I don't know where to get earlier builds which won't require installing).
What could be the problem, and how could it be fixed?
How to change the picture-in-picture default monitor?

71's new picture-in-picture feature could be useful, but I can't find any way to control which monitor the video is played on. It seems to always open on Windows' 1st monitor, which for me is almost always turned off. Of course Windows in it's infinite wisdom will not let you choose which monitor is number 1. This basically makes the feature useless. :( So, is there some setting somewhere in the about:config where I can control which monitor is default? I can't find an obvious one, at least. EDIT: I was wrong. It doesn't always open the video on the 1st monitor. It just always opens the video on the monitor to the left of the one the browser is on. :D

I am used to double clicking to select words in the URL bar. Not too long ago Firefox had an update where if you click on the URL bar then it would enlarge a bit. When it enlarges, so does the font, meaning that if I try to double click a word, the font resizing could shift the text. It is something minor, but something I am so used to doing. I was wondering if I could go back to the old URL bar that only got a blue highlight on click.

I recently got a new computer and installed firefox. Every time the computer restarts, it wants me to log in for the sync feature ("Reconnect to Firefox Account" appears under options with an exclamation point). This did not happen on my old computer, so this is weird because all I've done is reinstalled firefox with the exact same settings/addons as before. This is my personal desktop computer so I don't want to have to re-log in every restart.
