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 was switching computers and created a backup file. The type was html oddly. I tried to restore this backup on two different computers and both times it fails during the restore process without presenting a useful error message.

I can only guess that the file is corrupt, but it is only a guess since the error message is useless. It also seems strange that the backup didn't produce any errors (manual backup). Any suggestions?

When I simply hit my control button on my keyboard, it zooms out. and if I HOLD CTRL, it zooms ALL THE WAY TO...20% no other button is hit. just control. yes I tried unplugging it. CTRL-0 will bring it back to 100% but as soon as I hit CTRL again it does it zooms out again. chrome has no issue with this so I know its Firefox issue. simple google searches are no help. Any ideas?

An 8 second delay when I open Firefox for the first time.. Once it has been opened once, it reopens immediately when required. The problem has been present since I installed Linux Mint 9 months ago, Linux Mint 22.2 then, since upgraded to 22.3 Zena. I can live with it, but it is very frustrating! I have tried the obvious things like removing extensions, but I suspect it is a "Linux" connectivity problem rather than a "Mozilla" problem.

as you can see the image i press get started after it does it make me go to the 2-3 image i press get started and it does not work instead of it working it shows me the (first image is try firefox built in vpn)

I'd like to start adding my customized settings to a user.js file. How can I figure out what the correct code is for each option under Tools|Settings in FF 140.12 ESR

When I logged on to my laptop this morning, it appeared that my Firefox was updated. I immediately was inundated with pop up alerts from McAfee. I checked it and learned it was a scam. However, my husband thought it was legit and allowed them to do a scan!!!! He didn’t download any software. What do we need to do?

(I did see the solution to stop these pop ups and have already resolved that issue. I’m just worried that some party scanned my laptop.

I've reported literally EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE ABOUT HER in an attempt to maybe hint to the grand ol algorithm that I have NO interest in her life, marriage, or whatever else keeps getting beamed into my eye sockets. Nothing has worked. No dismissing, no reporting, NOTHING keeps me from seeing another article about her. I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE'S DOING STOP SHOWING ME ARTICLES!!! PLEASE!!

I want to protect my desk top using Mozilla VPN, but, rarely connect my mobile phone to the net so would rather not have to scan a QR code nor download the app through google play store. Please tell me how to subscribe to and install Mozilla VPN using only a desk top.

If I upload a jpg image via the + in the Gemini prompt it fails with an ! or doesn't give the (up pointing arrow) execute option prompt. Do usual things and even clean installed Firefox. Same on 3 windows 11 PCs 2 of which not my own hence not configured the same. All did work until latest updates. No browser extensions antivirus temporarily turned off. Same in, private and safe mode. All work fine on Chrome or Edge (sorry to swear at you) A work around is to load them via Google Drive or Photo and pull them from Google platform.

The iframe contains a LOCAL url The page "looks" as if there is no iframe to be acessed ANY ideas??? Thanks, Anne

I'm unable to see some pictures in Mastodon and I don't know why.

At first I assumed it was a filter blocking "sensitive images," but I turned that off.

Then I turned off the "Show colorful gradients for hidden media" setting, and I just get black images instead.

I've selected a new themes in settings. But anytime I restart Firefox (153.0.1) the new theme doesn't appear and is replaced by a different theme (the same one each time). Not a serious problem, but annoying. Thanks for any help.

ich benötige die übermittlung, da das chronic dieses eingestellt hatte: die auffindung der www´s durch das vorgehen bei dem umstellen der mozilla-umsetzung bei der neuinstallation. durch dieses hatte ich die www von einer bestimmten auffindung nicht (ich kann die www gern durchgeben: frau, bdsm, in der nähe, aber ohne kommerziellem hintergrund !).

I have my iMac synced to my phone, but every time I click on Sync another device, it keeps referring me to how to sync to my phone, which is already synced! So frustrating, as it shows me no other options! How are we supposed to sync our Firefox to other devices, beside my phone?

Hi. Every time I go into youtube, the sound cuts out after about an hour. I then have to go to settings, volume mixer and Mozilla Firefox and click on the X to get the sound back. Youtube has assured me this is not their problem, but a Mozilla one. I've been with Firefox for many many years and have never had this problem. Could you please advise me as to what to do about this ? Thank you.
