Trying to watch kids videos from my daughter's school, when I click on it, all it shows is a black play screen with a little VLC "traffic cone" in the middle. Can't do anything except download it to my desktop, which I don't want to do for all these song videos. Just want to watch it from the webpage. Went to add-ons and changed VLC Web Plug-in to say "Always Activate" but no luck. Please help, thanks!

Win 10, update 1607 - Will not print puzzle from dkm software when it did before MS update 1607. Prior to update it would always print puzzle from the dkm page. Now after completing the required steps it just does nothing, like it doesn't send the message to the printer. If I use the FF print menu it goes back to the dkm home page and will print that.

Hello,
I am unable to use the attachment paper clip--I have version 49.0.1 on Mac. When I click on the paper-clip icon the attachment dialog box is not visible--it appears almost to be hidden by the email message screen. The only way the problem goes away is if I "refresh" firefox. As soon as I quit firefox the problem returns. I have no issues with Safari on the Mac. I do have firefox version 48.0.1 on a PC and there are no attachment paper-clip issues. The PC and Mac both show that firefox is up-to-date. I have tried using safe mode on the mac--the problem still persists and safe mode did not help in any way. This issue started this morning.

Tenacious .MPG video file handling bug

So I want Firefox to "Always ask" when I click on an .MPG movie but it always opens it with QuickTime automatically.
"MPEG Video File" is already set to "Always Ask" in the Options / Applications but there's no such name with the tag "MPG" in the list.
I also set the file handling in Windows 10 to remove automatic opening of videos from QuickTime, the .MPG file type is set to my external MPC player in win10.
Even now, Firefox still opens .MPG with QuickTime automatically.
What to do to make Firefox pops up the "open with" window when clicking on an MPG video link?

I've already done all the things explained in "Disable FF automatic connections" page. I also disabled "Query for certificates" setting (OCSP thing)
But FF connects to some IP's when opened still. It connects to both shavar.prod.mozaws.net(also things like it, versioncheck.prod.mozaws.net) and search.r53-2.services.mozilla.com
Glasswire Screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/705do8onr
I even blocked it at hosts but... I guess it has many different IP's? And how would I get rid of these connections?
Note: I have another privacy question not related to FF, are we allowed to discuss it here?

Some pages, such as Google Scholar, have extra scrollbars.
I have coordination problems, and can't use scrollwheels, so I use Scroll+ to scroll. It doesn't work with Google Scholar because Google creates tiny scrollbars for each entry, and Scroll+ gets stuck on these instead of being able to use the big scrollbar for the page.

I got a BAD infection to my Win. 7 Dell Inspiron laptop, and this was caused by an ATTACK from the con group, IFIXPC, which is based in a third-world country. It included ID THEFT, which was accepted by the FTC. i ALLOWED them to take control of my PC, and I paid a very bad price. The pc ran horribly regardless of what I tried, and finally with some help from top tech person at COX, my IP provider, I was able to clean most of the infection off the pc, but a little remained.
After two months, I had enough, and TRIED to do an OS ONLY from my Dell Reinstall CD, Doing it maybe 5 or 6 times in my pc experience, I never ran into TROUBLE. This time I did. BIG TIME. Starting at about 8:52 AM, I began, and that reinstall effort, would get stuck until finally it would continue, but by late that afternoon, when transferring files, it got stuck with 748 files left to transfer, and it just continued trying and trying. until at about 11:00 PM, I went to bed, leaving the pc on, still trying to get UNSTUCK. Next morning, it was still STUCK, unable to transfer those last 748 files, and I did what I should not have, but I turned the pc off using the power switch. That was the WORST thing I could do, but it's all I could think off. Needless to say, nothing allowed the Dell CD to do anything for some 5 days, until I was blessed to access the CD again. It sure would not allow an OS ONLY reinstall, so I tried a complete, full reinstall, sacrificing everything to at least get Windows 7 again. It worked, and it gave me a pc, that was ONLY A WINDOWS 7 PC, nothing else. It looked great, but it wasn't functional. I've been reinstalling some programs and Folders and Files I had copies of, but Firefox TOTALLY has me stumped. I installed the freshest version of Firefox, 49.0.1, and it was no trouble, UNTIL AFTER it was installed, and then simply refused to work. The page that opened, talked about the site it was trying to reach, was not using the proper HTTPS that Firefox demanded. Go further, it opened a sign-in option, and when I tried, iy opened a NO INTERNET ACCESS. This even happened, using Chrome, which was certainly on line. I even checked if Windows FIREWALL had an issue, but it showed me that Windows Firewall, was NOT ACTIVE, it was my Kaspersky Firewall, that was active, and looking into it, it showed Firefox, HAD NO RESTRICTIONS, IT WAS ALLOWED ON LINE PASSING THROUGH IT'S FIREWALL.
So now, I can't do a thing, and because I am 64, I'm not an IT technician, so I either try and get help from you, or I trash using FIREFOX on this computer. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Hello! I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint. This started a day ago. Last update was even few days earlier. I tried to click on the scroll bar and the browser crashed, since then every click on an empty space of the web page causes crash. So if I click on buttons, links, etc. it is OK. Very strange. I didn't find a bug like this on Google.

I am getting the "Your connection is not secure" for most sites running Firefox 49.0.1. I know that it is related to not accepting SHA-1 certificates, but this is on a work computer that is setup to force users to communicate through a proxy to the outside world. It is essentially using a man-in-the-middle approach to filter all data to and from the internet, and is not something that I have any control of. This proxy uses a self-signed certificate, using SHA-1.
For more recent Firefox releases, it worked well enough to put the proxy's certificate into the trusted authorities of the Certificate Manager. For this release, I don't see the previously added certificate, nor does it show up when I try to add it manually. Also, I have tried playing with the security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level preference, it doesn't have any effect on adding this certificate as an authority or allowing access to sites like google.com or mozilla.com.
I am all for better security, and this version of Firefox works just fine at my home. But at work, I don't have much recourse, since Firefox isn't really supported by IT here. Really, the only thing I can do is switch to Chrome or IE if I can't get this resolved.

I am experiencing an annoying horizontal screen tearing while watching embedded videos in Firefox 49 on Linux Mint 17.3 KDE 64bit.

Restore drop-down keyboard navigation method?

Hi!
Using Firefox, a large part of my work each day is filling out forms online. It used to be that if I had focused on a drop down element (an HTML <select> element) and hit an arrow key on my keyboard, it would select the next or previous option in that drop down list. Firefox automatically updated recently, and I noticed that they changed the drop down list behavior. Now if I have focus on the drop down list, and I hit an arrow key to select the next/previous item, instead of just selecting the next/previous item, it displays the drop-down list, and requires an additional keystroke to accomplish the same thing.
My question is: is there an option in the advanced settings anywhere to restore this behavior to the way it used to be? This change seems absolutely pointless being that you can simply show the drop-down list with the space bar if you need to, but now users who just want to increment the drop-down value cannot do so without taking an additional action. This change has proven to be a needless hindrance to my productivity.
I'm willing to install additional software if that's what's required to fix this change. I've attached an image that describes how it used to behave (and how I would like it to behave) in comparison with how it behaves since this recent update.

I am using an old profile (now on Firefox 49.0) but when I tried to use sync and "export" functions and addons, they don't work.
On closer examination, I discovered I am missing the moz_bookmarks_roots table from places.sqlite
Using the "Places Maintenance" add-on didn't fix it. Using "Refresh Firefox" didn't fix it. Using the "Backup and Restore" didn't fix it.
I don't know what to do next.

When I start Firefox every now and then (Win7 machine, and I keep Firefox up to date), the language in all of the menus has changed from English to what I guess is Hungarian. I cannot navigate the menus to simply change the language (perhaps because I am not literate in Hungarian), and have only had success uninstalling and reinstalling the application.
This seems to happen around every two weeks, which makes me wonder if it coincides with Windows updates, but I am not sure.
Any preventative ideas would be great, as well as restorative ones.
Thanks!
