I updated my tablet to a Surface Pro 12 running Windows 11. I installed Firefox on my Surface Pro but I've noticed that all the websites I visit, that the page is outside of my viewing area. I've tried to find a way to fill the webpage to fit within my screen size without luck. I always need to scroll to the right to view the extra content. Is there a method to view the webpage within my screen size..?

I had recently tried to download a .Zip file, which got corrupted. I tried twice again. Now every time I open the browser the three corrupted files pop up in the "downloads" window. It does not appear when opening a new tab, only when starting the browser. I have deleted the corrupted folders and don't want to retry downloading. I have tried both "clear all downloads" and "remove from history" in the downloads window, but the notification still shows up. Settings do not help.

How can I remove this pop-up? It blocks my toolbar and is a general nuisance.

I've use Firefox vpn for some time now. Suddenly any attempt to access a website, including the lovely link to my kindle book suggested by Firefox results in this: Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem. message. Firefox is blocking me with no way around??? Regular firefox now just doesn't download! I want to congratulate your implementation of a security nightmare with zero testing. Please tell you product development and marketing folks that they won't have to worry our reading and acting on any of your advertisements!

How to Select a Firefox Perofile

I had a problem where FF 140.0 would not update, and in trying to get FF yo update, I used a re-install tool to which I was pointed in my problem report. This caused FF to wipe out my configuration, and I lost all my windows and tabs. I have gone to

    \Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Proifiles\abnfpged.default

cleared all of the data therein, and restored that directory from a backup I made last Monday. But I cannot get FF to use that directory. "about:profiles" shows only two profiles, but the Profiles directory has five profiles:

03/10/2026 09:39 AM <DIR> qf00ka5x.default 03/10/2026 09:39 AM <DIR> v842ceue.default-release 04/11/2026 09:16 PM <DIR> .. 04/11/2026 09:16 PM <DIR> . 04/12/2026 03:08 PM <DIR> abnfpged.default 04/12/2026 06:29 PM <DIR> jdfj91sd.default-release-1775960183850 04/12/2026 06:48 PM <DIR> f1jq4mlq.default

Only the profiles beginning with "j" and "f1" are seen in the "about:profiles" screenshot I have attached. And I have attached a screenshot of my profiles.ini file. Also, in the abnfpged.default directory I restored, where is the list of all of my open windows and tabs? FF used to keep that in a sessionstore.jsonlz4 file, but that file is only written when FF closes. I tried to save a copy when I was having problems, but I stored the copy in the same directory, which FF changed during the re-install process. Here is my profiles,.ini file:


[Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/jdfj91sd.default-release-1775960183850 Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/f1jq4mlq.default

[Profile0] Name=default-release IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/jdfj91sd.default-release-1775960183850

[Install641D10338ABA448D] Default=Profiles/abnfpged.default Default=1 IsRelative=1 Locked=1

[General]

StartWithLastProfile=1

Version=2

[BackgroundTasksProfiles] MozillaBackgroundTask-308046B0AF4A39CB-defaultagent=lnvi5jn5.MozillaBackgroundTask-308046B0AF4A39CB-defaultagent


I have not worked with the ;profiles.ini file in many years, as my FF configuration has not had problems. Thanks.
