I want to have a specific page open when I use the alt+home shortcut (or my keyboard's "home" media key). I know I can do this via the Home Page dropdowns, but that affects new pages and/or tabs. I want those to open blank pages, and only the keyboard shortcut to take me to my desired "home" page. Is this possible?

Translation, may not be fully in line with your standard wording. The original message, in Swedish, below.

"When I seek information with Firefox, since some time I always get this error message from AVG: "Threat secured, We prevented your sonnection to thai.rontyig.come since it is adnagerous website. Threat category; URL.Blacklist"

Even when I search for AVG, the same msg is shown. If I use Chrome or AVG Secure browser, there is no error msg.

"När jag söker en uppgift med Firefox får jag sedan en tid alltid upp ett felmeddelande från AVG: ” Hot Säkrat Vi förhindrade din anslutning till thai. rontyig.com eftersom det är en farlig webbsida. Hotkategori: URL:Blacklist ” T,o,m, om jag söker på AVG visas samma spärrmeddelande!

Om jag t.ex. använder Chrome eller AVG Secure browser

Kind regards Ulf Hj.

Firefox keeps crashing/hanging on startup. Any other browser I use is fine. Been using Firefox for years and would like to keep using it. This has been going on since August, so I have not really been using it since then. Tried all the troubleshoot steps that Mozilla recommends but still crashing e.g reinstall, fresh install.

Hello, I'm having trouble using the built in VPN, once I press on it and do everything (connect with my account etc) it doesn't let me use it, it still tells me to do everything again. I was wondering how I could fix this issue and use it.

I can't attach more than 2, or 3 small jpeg photos, to an email without crashing the email.

When I try to attach several (more than three) small email sized jpeg files, my Yahoo email tries to load them, then re-load them, and ultimately gives a splash screen, that says, "Cannot be saved, as a draft", and locks up. The files are 1mb, or less, This was never a problem, before Firefox, and Yahoo issued "new, improved" versions, of their software. If I only attach about three files, at a time, let it attach them, then attach more files, it will attach them with no issue, and I can send the email. This does not seem to be a problem with other browsers.

The new 157 release broke something when pasting a webpage into OneNote.

Previously when pasting, the complete URL was appended at the end of what was pasted: (web page text and images) Pasted from <https://earthsky.org/tonight/longest-days-of-year-accompany-the-december-solstice/?mc_cid=1422e68d3a>

In 157, only the top web address is pasted: (web page text and images) From <https://earthsky.org>

Having the entire URL to the actual pasted page saved a step. Now I have to copy the address out of the address bar and copy it to OneNote manually.

Browsing Data-Manage Exceptions won't stick between sessions

For the last several weeks, one of my computers when it updated to the new settings menu (version 156ish?), it has lost the ability to maintain some of the synced profile settings. For example, I have a couple websites that I list in the exceptions to not have Firefox clear the cookies, and I additionally have the clear cookies and site data check box enabled so that every other website I visit clears upon exiting. This is the setting combination I have utilized for years to keep the cookies from only 2 websites and clear out everything else.

On one of my computers, I'm able to add the exception, and as long as I do not close Firefox, the website exception settings stick. However, as soon as I exit Firefox, and open it back up, the settings clear themselves again, and I have to manually enter the exceptions again. This is very frustrating because one of the sites that I keep the cookies on the exception list has multiple different logins saved so that I don't have to manually re-login to every time I open Firefox.

I have attempted a refresh, and that did not fix the problem. I have fully uninstalled Firefox, manually deleted the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder contents, reinstalled foxfire and this too does not fix the problem.

The weirdest part of this whole issue is my laptop, does not have this problem and the exceptions are sticking so I know that this setting combo works. Additionally, I have tried unchecking the clear cookies and site data box and this too is not allowing the exceptions to stick.

I have also tried re-syncing my account to pull the settings from my laptop and this too is not working.

This experience is on Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro 26H2

Thanks for your time and please advise as to how to fix.
