Firefox used to close completely when I close the last tab. The last update broke that behavior. How can I get it back the way it was? This new behavior is sick!!!

Firefox has always been my workhorse for my business, but after the last update, I can no longer open Firefox on more than one desktop on my Mac. Firefox requires me to designate either a specific desktop to open Firefox on--or to open it on all desktops. This doesn't work for me because on each desktop I open a different site on Firefox. I will no longer be using Firefox for work, and since I was using Firefox because of what I perceived were stronger security measures, I am very disappointed. I really wish software engineers would stop "innovating" and fixing things that are not broken.

How do I change the email account inserted by Firefox when I click on an email link?

I have previously changed the main email address (added secondary address, swapped secondary for primary, deleted secondary) but when I click an email link in a web page to write an email to the web page business, the old deleted email account is used instead of the new one. This old address is not listed at all as far as I have seen in my Mozilla Account.

I was going to random name generator sites yesterday and I went to one that is called www.behindaname.com and it 'dropped' a web app into my firefox browser somehow. I am running version 143.0.1

Now, there is an icon in the taskbar, right in the address box between toggle reader view and bookmark this page. When you hover over it, it drops a popup message "add tab to taskbar".

In my Windows 10 menu, it shows under recently added on the start menu, as "behindaname"

If you right click on this and click on 'open file location' it opens a directory "C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox Web Apps" and in this directory is behindaname and under file type .lnk

If you right click on the recently added on start menu "behindaname", and select uninstall, it opens up the Windows 10 uninstall menu, but it isn't listed in there anywhere.

if you rightclick that behindaname.lnk and click on properties, under Target : it gives "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "-taskbar-tab" "b3fa7206-2a6c-4b7b-9427-c051524970ed" "-new-window" "https://www.behindaname.com" "-profile" "C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\1ippdfls.default-release" "-container" "0"

I would just delete the link, but since it is putting that icon on my taskbar and it is giving that target, it is hiding somewhere. I am just not up to speed on web apps and other browser malware, at least I consider it browswer malware, to know what is going on and how to completely get rid of it. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you, Steve

This may be a small issue but it's pretty bothering, I do understand that the web app as of now is primarily to be pinned at the taskbar, but would this be done in the start menu in the future? I mainly keep my apps at the start menu for my convenience.

Basically the problem here is the shortcut icon, so take this Messenger web app as an example. If I pin this to taskbar, or even make a desktop shortcut, it's showing the correct icon, it's also in the start menu but unpinned. However, when I pin it to the start menu, in the app catalog, it changes to the Firefox icon (for some reason the one on the taskbar sometimes does that as well).

I've tried looking into the Properties tab of the shortcut, but apparently it's already set to the Messenger icon, so I'm guessing it's primarily the start menu problem.

There is a 'feature' in Firefox that I think is called "click and hold context menu". Basically if you left click on something and hold the click for a second or two a menu appears that offers an AI generated list of suggestions related to the thing you were clicking on. How do I disable this? In searching I have found suggestions to open about:config and set the value for ui.click_hold_context_menus to false, which I have done a few weeks ago now and it has no affect. I also tried changing the related value of ui.click_hold_context_menus.delay to an insanely long time, but that also had no effect.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to turn this off. This is problematic enough that I may have to switch to another browser if this can't be disabled. Thanks! Attached is a random example of one of these context menu's that appears when clicking and holding on a link.

I am getting exhausted with Firefox changing my configurations when updating. I always turn off automatic update for all software I use. I even turn off Windows updates. These updates always break something I regularly use and offer me little if anything that improves my experience.

Recently, the update modified my configurations to allow automatic updating. So I had to turn that off. A recent update removed the simple "!gm" shortcut to Google Maps. I had to create a new shortcut for Google Maps so I could type into the URL bar something like "!gm Missouri" to get the map to display. It wasn't displaying before this and returned search results like "General Motors". Ugh.

Can't Firefox stop updating my configurations and making life difficult for me?
