Normally, when zoom in on a web page in Firefox, the page will adjust so the page content is still visible, by insisting the magnified content is still visible, or a vertical scroll bar is created to reveal the content.

I also run into pages where the content is only visible when the page is 100% or less.

Can this be adjusted?

I used to be able to use my laptop to cast youtube videos to my chromecast, but the button has disapered since i started using Fire Fox.

I have been looking for any "cast to device" button or setting on and off for a few weeks now and can't seem to find it. Not sure if it's just right out disabled in the browser (because other sites allow me to cast), but YouTube specifically just doesn't have the option anymore. Just wondering if it's something on my end or if it's fixable at all.

Is Firefox using my Paypal log-in details to log retailers in automatically?

I use an online retailer to buy birthday cards and gifts - Moonpig.com. Whenever I choose Paypal as my payment option, it logs me directly into my Paypal account without me entering any details. I have several Paypal accounts and want to choose which one to use. I have no saved payment details on Moonpig's site and having checked, they say that somehow my browser is logging me in automatically. That's Firefox and I want it to stop.

I have no issues with Firefox storing log-in details but I should be able to choose which Paypal account I want to use.

Any thoughts please? UF

There are times when i am using Firefox that my PC will randomly disconnect from the internet. Sometimes it will reconnect on its own after I close Firefox. Other times I either have to restart my PC or go into Network & Internet settings and connect to my network. I am still running Window 10, free updates. Does anyone know what is causing this? It does not happen with any other browsers.

Hello everyone,

I’m wondering what exactly "remote improvements" actually are.

Mozilla says: "Remote improvements range from fixes to feature changes to Firefox. They are delivered remotely between versions and updates to make your browsing experience stabler and richer (...)."

They are not studies or A/B tests, as those are enabled/disabled separately. They also do not concern WebCompat shims, Safe Browsing, or similar features, nor larger security fixes or more significant bugs that are resolved with a out-of-band update – correct? Is it similar to Windows CU Previews - meaning improvements, fixes, and feature changes that would be included in the next upcoming regular update anyway? Not a case of "let’s roll something out and see how users react" thing?

Have I understood that correctly?

Thanks and best regards, Martin

Hello everyone,

I keep having the issue that on some websites, a whole list of cross-site cookies is displayed when i click the icon to the left of the address bar. "These parties can use cross-site cookies and site data while you are on this site."

Especially Google (I am not logged into a Google account) lists many different sites here. I can then click on "Allowed X" - but after a few days, the entry appears again without me being asked!

Under "Privacy & Security" I am using the Standard level. It says there: "Firefox blocks the following: (...) Cross-site cookies in all windows (...)" So why are some still being allowed? How can I generally prohibit them except for those I manually allow? The five levels for cookie handling under "Custom" are unfortunately not very self-explanatory, and I can’t find any whitelist option there either.

Thanks for any advice! Best regards, Martin
