I am using Firefox Browser 71.0(64-bit) with xubuntu. Recently I have problems trying to select 'right click' options. If I right click on a selected area of text for example, when I move the mouse pointer to select an option from the menu the menu disappears. Sometimes a selection is made by the system, (usually the top one) and whatever is highlighted can be 'cut'. Alternatively, I must hold down the mouse button and move the mouse pointer the my selection and then release the button thus making the selection (never sure it is actually made!) I was thinking of changing to Chrome but I prefer Firefox because I can re-direct it's cache etc to a HD rather than an SD drive. So, I await a solution please.

So after browsing for a while, when i right click (on any page) the popup menu doesn't show up. Also, when this happens, if i click any _folder_ in the Bookmarks toolbar, the popup window containing the items doesn't show/pop up either.
So, i created an entirely new profile in Firefox, without installing any addons or changing any of the other default settings. And, after browsing for a bit the same issue happens again...
Rebooting Firefox fixes the problem for a while. Please advise, thank you :)

I hate the stupid thing. There are some pages that I go into and I've to them on my phone before but when I open them on my laptop I get the torn up page in the corner. The sites I've been to are good so why is some of the content blocked? Please tell me, if there is a way, how to remove this.

Just this. Thanks in advance. Here's this add-on's description: "Automatically resumes YouTube videos from where you played them last.

With this extension, previously seen videos will resume from where you left them at. Even if you restart your browser." I have: Author Appteligent LTD Version 1.2.3 Last Updated December 10, 2019

Hubspot ( Wordpress ) widget NOT appearing - on my website www.chromaesthetics.com -- using other browsers - chrome, chromium, opera and midori -- NO SHOW HERE ON FIREFOX. I HAVE disabled ( safe mode ) all extensions and add-ons to no avail.
Other floating widgets are working ok, like my menu . . . please go to the site and see for yourself. The floating Hubspot widget shows up on phones.. . and all other browsers on desktop. Of course, this is Linux . . . NST . .. BUT same issue is with BrazilLX ( debian ) and Manjaro . . i run all three on my design desktop. MY website builder says it shows on Windows in Firefox. So it must be a Linux Firefox exception. Any suggestions?

I created an email and when sent it disappeared and did not show in sent, trash or copy to my wife. In the Explorer file folder it showed as the most recent folder. It had the Firefox logo in front of it and when trying to open it stated it cannot find it under C:/user/bill/(subject of the email). Where did this email go? Why can't I open this folder?

After a Firefox session restore problem, I lost my entire browsing history and can't seem to get it back

When I restored a previous session from Firefox after a laptop crash, instead of restoring to the supposed previous day it went back to a session that happened 2 months ago. I'm not sure why this is, but the more important problem came later.
So I tried fixing that by going into the Firefox profile folder and restoring previous versions of the sessionstore files. Unfortunately I wasn't making any progress and at one point reopened Firefox to see that my entire history disappeared. I'm not sure how this happened. I know the history is stored within the places.sqlite but in no way shape and form did I go near that file.
I used ShadowExplorer to find an earlier version of my profile folder and copied and pasted it as a backup. I used the places.sqlite from that but I was still getting an empty history and it was also not recording any more new history. I also tried pasting the entire backup profile folder onto the main profile folder. And I tried creating a new profile and transferring my places.sqlite there but I get the same result. However my bookmarks are still there.
Is there no way to get my history back? I'm guessing it is a corrupted places.sqlite. Is it possible to repair the places.sqlite? Sadly I don't have any knowledge on how to use SQlite shell to repair it myself. It would be nice if someone could do that for me! Strangely, the places.sqlite file size is 10240kb, which seems a bit too small for my entire history.
I'm terrible at explaining things so I apologize if it was hard to follow. I'm distraught about this and pretty desperate to get my history back. I'd appreciate any help.

When I try to open the file CREME VISGAE LAVANDE .jpg for example, Firefox will open 4 tabs in a new window. Each tab, is the document name divided by "websites" like this:
Tab 1: file:///C:/Users/amorera/AppData/Local/Temp/CREME Tab 2: http://www.visgae.com/ Tab 3: http://ww8.lavande.com/ Tab 4: http://www..jpg/
The image won't show in Firefox as it usually did some hours ago. I tried a Cookies/Cache cleaning process, didn't work. Restarting w/o add on, didn't work.
I had to, open the file containing the download and open the image using the windows tool.
With PDFs, every time I download an file, it will show an error message saying that the file couldn't be found. Same as before, only manually opening from windows will work

Every time I try to go to a custom protocol URL to get redirected to a program for things like website sign-in I get this error page instead of it working or offering the program selector. "The address wasn’t understood
Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (cag) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
The protocol shows up in the applications setting and is pointed to the correct program. I have made sure my Firefox and Windows 10 are fully up to date. I tried launching Firefox in safe mode. I actually completely reinstalled my computer. It works briefly until a little after sync completes but the computer it is syncing from does not have this issue.
This issue has occurred so far with Slack and Datto RMM.
Any help would be fantastic!

Recently, there was a very simple one line command bar that one could get to from within firefox by pressing Shift+F2. It allowed one to take screenshots and restart the browser. But i notice it is no longer there in Firefox 70.0, is this an oversight. Some articles refer to it as GCLI.

The issue arises with the following steps
find a cell with text (not formula) place the cursor in the edit line (formula bar) backspace to remove all of the text type in new text hit enter
A new line, char(10) is inserted after the text. Confirmed with a find function.
It did this with Firefox but not Chrome. Reported in Google sheets forum title "Why are line breaks being added to cells randomly" Can't see how to add link here.

Can login using Chrome or Explorer though I do have to tell them using this unprotected address is OK which I do not have to do in Firefox.
