Firefox Community Forum

Today I logged in after the new update. (Oct 4th). Firefox was stuck in a loop for looking for updates. I went round and round, couldn't solve it, finally decided to reinstall. When I reinstalled it said I already had an installation and asked if I wanted to open the existing application and keep all my settings etc., or not. I tried opening the exiting application, but it kept looping back with the same question, not opening the existing application. I ultimately told it to start fresh, even though I knew I would lose all my configurations, addons, etc. I then spent quite a bit of time reconfiguring everything. I turned on synch and kept the synch key. I closed the application, reopened it, and it put me back to the original screen for installing afresh, asking if I want to open the existing application or start again and lose all my configurations and data. It wouldn't let me open the existing so I reinstalled and had to begin again. I don't know what to do.

I'm on OS 15.6.1 (24G90) lapbook pro, I think it's called

When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.

For the past few days hot links in Thunderbird do not open in Firefox. Selecting a link in an email opens or brings to the fore a copy of Firefox with the link address and the wait icon but nothing else happens. I have to close Firefox, copy the link location, Past and Go in Firefox, and then the linked page appears. This behavior happens even in Troubleshoot Mode, so it is not any plugin or customization. I am also running Mozilla VPN. With VPN disabled, hot links in Thunderbird open in Firefox as expected. Now you know where to look.

Also, when I tried to add Troubleshooting Information below, nothing appeared. When I selected to option to be shown what to do, this page was replaced with other which deleted all this text, and now I am entering it all in again, which is severely frustrating. On a page where the user has entered possibly a volume of information, there should not be any sloppy risk of deleting that information due to page mishandling. Open help or assistance information in a separate tab, please. Think ahead about this stuff. You are supposed to be web design experts. Instead your web site spits in my face just when I am asking for help. Think. Plus, I had to get the Troubleshoot information manually so that is not being as automatic as it appears to be , either. Getting help should ideally be a button click, not jumping through hoops.
