Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

I am using Win 11, Microsoft Powertoys > Fancy Zones to manage the screen space on my 5120 x 1440 monitor. I also have System > Display > Multiple Displayers "Remember window locations based on monitor connection" enabled.

Any program I have besides FF will load up exactly where I had it last. FF shifts I am guessing 8 pixels to the right (or left, as this occurs if I close FF on the right side of the monitor.) If you look at the screenshots, the "opened at default" picture shows what FF looks like when I open it. You can see the xulstore.json file shows the screenX position is -8. If I manually type in 0, close out FF and reopen it, it will still shift back to the right a bit even with the .json still saying 0

How do I do one less thing when I turn the pc on and have FF open exactly as far left as possible instead of shifting over to the right?

My old laptop is broken; I can no longer access the hard drive. Is there any way I can reorganize my old bookmarks from before a specific date, i.e., December 15, 2025, in Firefox?

The Firefox update of 25 March has obliterated the previous settings I created.

As a lady approaching 80, I am very disappointed, frustrated and annoyed that the settings I laboriously created have been obliterated by this latest update.

So far, it is apparent that areas concerned are the appearance of the screen - location of bookmarks list, font size, task bar and menu bar displays, items included in the tool bar. My chosen browser is DuckDuck but Bing was reinstated. No doubt, further unwanted modifications to the way I wish Firefox to operate have been loaded.

Can this situation be easily corrected or would deinstalling this latest update and reverting to the previous edition of Firefox return my chosen settings to me?

May I say that I am not a computer "nerd" and am unfamiliar with much computer terminology and would, therefore, be grateful for any instructions to be phased in simple terms.

GOW

From some long time the is no sound when i open music or movie in browser dont know whats happend - restart or new version of browser did not help at all - other browsers everything works fine

On entering a search into the search box on firefox home screen with google selected the resulting display is just computer code (looks like this: (�/�Xx<�l�/�F$�O�6
g�W��wd) selecting a different search engine or going to google.com works just fine. How do I fix this?

Mostly experienced on Reddit so far.

When visiting a previously visited subreddit. The page loads part way down instead of at the top.

This seems to have been introduced with v149 on Windows 11.

I have always been able to watch "NPR Watch" video clips. It was not functional on my new iMac with a new install of Firefox 149. I checked my laptop and it was fine on v147, but when updated to 149 it too was not functional. Please provide a step by step fix. I tried fixes available on internet without luck

I keep losing all my saved passwords in my Firefox browser when I get a Windows 11 update, Why and how do I recover them and prevent them from being deleted when there is Windows 11 update? thank You

my browser (firefox) suddenly crashed and all my login data with backup was gone i tried everything but still not working i have the recovery key hopefully restore my account

I cannot log in to Amazon.ca using Firefox. When I input my email address to Amazon, it says I look like a new customer so let's set up an account. I am not a new customer and my account on Amazon works fine if I sign in through the Chrome browser. I have tried refreshing Firefox and also tried using Troubleshoot Mode, but the problem with Firefox persists. Is there a fix? Firefox must be blocking some type of data that Amazon requires but even white-listing the website doesn't seem to work.

I put in my bookmarks under my name and create sub directories for different groupings, like Canadian news, solar etc. The bookmarks within the subgroups stay for a while. I cannot say for how long. Sometimes a day sometimes longer. The bookmarks disappear and are replaced with what I would call the global network symbol. This has never occurred in windows 10 of which I still use. It appears to be an issue with windows 11. Please any help would be useful. It is getting extremely annoying having to replace the bookmarks all the time.

Anytime I open Firefox that pop-up shows, I don't want F-fox opening every time I start PC but there's no option to get it to go away otherwise, or at least that I can see.

On Linux Mint 22 on my desktop, the buttons in the RH top corner are tiny. I have measured the minimise line and it is under 2mm long.

I have tried various searches to see if these controls could be made larger, but most questions suggest changing the theme. I don't want to do that, and I'm sceptical that it would make any difference anyway.

Has anyone got any suggestions how they could be made bigger?

I'm using the MATE desktop.

Thank you
