Firefox Community Forum

When I open a pdf file it is automatically saved to my desktop, which is my selected location. I have also checked the always ask where to save files. In settings I have indicated I want pdf files to be opened by Foxit Reader. Other files set to ask open or save.

I also have gone in into about:config and set browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline to true based on a previous reply in this forum about this issue.

What can I do to stop the PDF files from being automatically saved to my desktop?

Hi, Re Firefox browser how do you get back 2 windows with tabs that disappeared when restarting the PC. They are not in history anymore at all, they are gone. What opened up instead after the restart, was 2 lots of Windows & tabs that just disappeared in the same way, from 3 years ago, & they reappeared on the browsers. Can you tell me what is going on please & how to fix this problem in losing them in the first place? This problem has happened several times before & is very upsetting. Can you help in finding my recent loss of windows/tabs please? Regards Doug

I've been using Firefox since Windows first came out and NEVER had this problem (or any other) until about a month ago. After an update, my bookmarks sidebar failed to work. I tried to update again, but got the message "Secure Connection Failed". After many tries, I was able to load a 32 bit ( V 1390.1) which was offered from Mozilla. This despite the fact that my PC is a 64 bit machine. This 32 bit version works poorly! I've repeatedly tried to load a 64 bit version, hoping that it would work as Firefox has in the past. I am still getting the the message "Secure Connection Failed", Error Code Mozilla_pkix_error_key_pinning_failure. What is going on??? I like Firefox and I'm reluctant to change browsers, but it may become necessary. Operating systwm: windows 10. Bob N

On the Firefox Home page, I have 2 rows of shortcuts I filled with pinned URLs I need for my work and I have been using this from years now and it's saved to my account so I can import them between different laptops I use. Today, I woke up to find all my pinned URLs are gone and have been replaced with some random URLs, some of those seem to be coming from the recent history but the others I have no idea from where they are coming from. This issue is happening today on all my laptops connected to my Mozilla account.

How can I restore my pinned URLs back to Home shortcuts? It will be a nightmare to go back and find some of those URLs I pinned and pin them again one by one ☹.

Things I tried: 1. Open and close Firefox. 2. Logout then login. 3. Manually trigger a sync.
