Firefox: форум сообщества

I have periodically popups with Firefox.

I tried to block popups with the following procedure :
   click on "parametres"
   in the left of the window, click on  "vie privée et sécurité"
   look for "permissions" 
   ask for blocking  popups

After all this, I still have popups. What should I do ? Thanks in advance Francis Prusker

In many cases when one opens a new tab, the new one is opened on the right of the "parent tab". After reading the web page of the new tab, one often decides that the new tab is no longer useful and deletes it. Firefox automatically opens the tab on the right of the deleted tab, rather than resuming the "parent tab" on the left. This seems to be an ineffective design as probabilistically there are perhaps >90% chance one wants to go back to the "parent tab".

Q1: should Firefox change the default for resuming the left? Q2: is there a setting that user can change?

The installation on my win 11 laptop is doing some odd things (1 - recently lost all extra (unselected) windows on restart, even though set to restore all windows and tabs and 2- opening a new window creates an outdated duplicate of the window I already have open instead of just creating a new window with an empty tab??). So I thought I'd try refreshing it. Well, my "More troubleshooting" page does not have the "Refresh Firefox" button, only the "clear startup cache" appears along with option to run in troubleshooting mode. No Refresh option in teh same page in troubleshooting mode either. I am using the Microsoft Store MSIX installation. I am thinking about uninstalling that one and installing from a Mozilla download instead??

What would be the best way to clean up my installation state since the refresh is not available?

I recently heard about Mozilla's potential future plans to increase the browser's AI features, and wanted to voice my concerns about this.

I avoid using AI due to environmental, privacy, and ethical reasons, and one of my main motivations for choosing Firefox over another browser is specifically because of the option to turn AI features off. (And I believe this is the case for a large portion of the userbase.)

If Mozilla opts to push for more AI implementation within Firefox, I will switch to another browser.

I keep getting sporadic crashes, and sometimes a tab crash (particularly on maps.google.com). I have the latest updates to all my software. What can I do to help prevent these crashes?

I WISH THAT FIREFOX WOULD CHANGE THE ADS THEY ALLOW. SHOWING PANTIES WITH OBSCENE STATEMENTS IS BORDERING ON PORNOGRAPHY! SPECIFICALLY WOMEN'S PANTIES WITH STATEMENTS OF CUM AND ONLY DAVID CAN ENTER HERE! CHILDREN GET INTO THESE! IF IT DOES NOT BEFORE THURSDAY I SHALL SPREAD THE WORD AND NO LONGER USE FIREFOX!

My settings: Downloads: save files to: [custom default folder, unimportant] Always ask you where to save files: ENABLED

Applications: PDFs: Open In Firefox (because when the browser has such a nice built-in pdf viewer of course I would like to use it)

Expected behavior: Browser will open the dialog box for where to save the pdf, save the pdf, then open it in the in-browser viewer from the location it just saved to. Or possibly: save the file to TEMP and then open it in browser, I can see the argument for that behavior, though it wouldn't be my first instinct.

Actual behavior: Browser blindly saves the pdf to the specified default folder, then opens it in the in-browser viewer.

What is the actual point of the ALWAYS ask checkbox here? From what I can find extant on the forums the devs somehow don't seem to consider this a bug, so does anyone know how to wrangle the config page and/or some kind of extension into producing the actual logical behavior for these settings?
