I have a new desktop. I checked the box in Settings to "Always ask you where to save files." However, it's still dumping files in Downloads without asking.

Why, and how do we correct that?

It looks like firefox recently updated with new privacy features (great!) What's not so great is that now it forces me to log into gmail each time I open a new browser window (not great). I have several different accounts that regularly use so this isn't ideal.

I've tried adding both gmail.com and google.com as exceptions under the cookie settings (didn't work). I even went and turned off the "enhanced tracking protection" on every step of the gmail login page and my inbox. Still kicks me out once I open a new browser. Any help to remedy this problem would be great.

How do i keep my work computer browser seperate from my home browser account???

Somehow out of the blue my home firefox account became my work firefox account? All my work shortcuts or bookmarks appeared at my home but i dont want them.

Hello, PG&E just updated their webpage and it doesn't allow me to sign in. It informs me that Fire Fox isn't a compatible browser, all other websites are fine. It suggests Chrome as the preferred browser. We pay our utilities through their site and we enjoy Fire Fox.Can anyone help resolve this issue? Thanks

A white horizontal line in the top of the screen, whilst watching movies in tv5mondeplus.com. This issue happens when installed the recent update 129.0.

Tested in other browsers and doesn't appear the white horizontal line on top.

Starting maybe 2 months ago, when making online purchases, I could not enter a credit card number into the box to make a payment. (Name, address, etc is okay.) The cursor would not "register," & the box would be greyed out. I'm running Windows 11 Pro, Firefox 129.0.2. It's not my antivirus, because I can go to Microsoft's browser (ugh), & make my purchases. Ideas? Thanks!

Can't log into NYTImes.com with Firefox. I use Bitwarden for passwords. I also have UBlock Origin, but that should not affect logins. I clear cache and cookies upon browser close. I ended up resetting Firefox entirely, which was a royal pain, it worked for a few days and now is not working again. I have no problems logging in with Chrome but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Also having problems with the captchas on Etsy. I get endless captchas, like for five minutes. I set up 2FA in hopes it would stop with the captchas but that only worked once and now it's endless captchas again. Yet no problems on Chrome.

The NYTimes problem is recent and started early to mid-August 2024. The Etsy problem started maybe late June? Same password manager, same extensions. I hate to go to Chrome every time I need to log in. So far these are the only two websites that consistently give me problems. Does anybody have a fix?

I have disabled sponsored shortcuts in Firefox settings, and did this when I first set up my browser.

Today when launching my browser the first link in my shortcuts was to @Google which I specifically do not use. I do not use google search. I do not want google search. I do not want cookies or content from google.

Why was this sponsored shortcut pushed to my browser after I disabled sponsored shortcuts?

previous tabs not opening on initial boot up - I have it check for that to happen, but only a single tab opens when I boot up computer. I can find the last session in "Recently Closed Windows"

Hello guys, as in title - I use custom NextDNS set of rules on DNS-over-HTTPS. As of today, Firefox can't connect to the provider. AFAIK Troubleshoot Mode is also affected. The other devices using NextDNS on my network work just fine and when I set the DNS to work system-wide as a kind of workaround, I don't get an issue. Same when I use other DNS-over-HTTPS options in the Firefox Preferences. Yesterday the problem didn't occur and I haven't performed any updates since yesterday - both Firefox and NetworkManager seem to be up to date.

Additional info: OS: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) Firefox version: 129.0.2

If any other info is needed, I'll be happy to provide it to you.

I opened BigFishGames today and have suddenly gotten an error message "For the best experience, please enable local storage in your browser settings. Some features are not available when local storage is disabled." I went to the settings and allowed exceptions to all the things (pop-ups, cookies, tracking, etc.). None of that worked.

As I couldn't figure out how to do this I went through your FAQs. Found someone who had the same issue on his MAC and followed the instructions given there by an administrator. That being to go to https://firefox-storage-test.glitch.me/ and run that test. It shows there's nothing wrong. BigFish still shows it's error message.

This is one of my favorite sites and I use it daily. Yesterday I was able to access it just fine, today I can't even get their login script to show up. I haven't had any Firefox updates in several weeks, either. Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you! -Lisa W

I was working on strengthening my passwords using firefox as my browser and roboform. I had a us bank site open also at the time. I did not change that user id or password. However, ever since then I am unable to sign in to my us bank site. It brings up the site but as soon as I click to sign in, it greys the screen. I am able to sign in to every other site I have tried on the firefox browser. I am also able to sign in to my us bank site on at least two other browsers without issue. What has happened and how can I fix firefox to allow me to use it? The us bank site is not an app. Thank you.

Hey, my Firefox suddenly isn't making any sound anymore, but everything else on my PC is working fine. The troubleshooting page didn't help at all either. I'm getting desperate—restart, reinstalling, etc. didn't help either.

While reading a PDF using Firefox PDF Viewer, I highlighted certain passages occasionally saving (using the print icon) for future retrieval. Later when I did re-open the file, none of my highlighting was visible. I have tried alternative browsers, various PDF readers, etc. without luck. I really do need that highlighting. Thank you

i have two computers. on computer 1, all is fine. on computer 2, when it restarted after an update, i got the error message -- "the bookmarks and history system will not be functional b/c one of firefox's files is in use by another application, some security software can cause this problem." this has NEVER happened before.

i found the "how to fix this problem" page, but i am completely baffled by it. what i want to know is what security software (i have avast apps) is likely to have caused this problem, and how do i fix it (i.e., what setting should i change?).

thanks for any help you can provide. i am NOT tech-savvy, this is the only time this has happened, and i've had both computers for years. they have both always had the same apps.

I consistently get this popup when I click on most websites if I want additional information, or to see a more detail. I cannot find any way to get this thing to stop doing that. Does anyone here know about this problem, and to get this thing to stop like period? Thanks for the help....I hope, because it is a real pain. I was using Opera before this, and it never had something like this . Operating System-Windows 11. Browser-Mozilla.

Hi guys, Just wanting to know why the Captcha is so hard. I sometimes need to do the captcha 30-40 times. Can't there be a simpler way to do this. it's very frustrating when I google an address that I need to go to but it takes 15 minutes to get through the captcha. I end up closing Firefox & opening Chrome or Edge. Can something be done about this? Also, Captcha is not clear.. When it comes up with "Motorcycles" is the rider included in this? Or "Stairs" is the hand rail included in that? Please change it to make it simpler so I can continue using Firefox. I'm using Windows 10 on a computer.

Thanks guys

Hello, This is on Win 11, always latest updates to win and FF.

For at least the past 9 months saving anything (web pages, files, etc.) is incredibly slow. I have filed bug reports but nothing back. After starting the save the wheel rotates for 1-2 minutes before finally waking up and saving. FF is completely frozen until its done.

On a second win 11 box, the download are fast but flagged as download failed but the file was actually downloaded

Anyone know anything about this? Like why or how to fix it.

I'm switching to Chrome until this is resolved but I hate Chrome so I hope it will not be a long wait.

Thank you all
