Often (though not always) Firefox will prompt me to "Make Firefox your default browser" when first run or when run after being closed, despite me clicking "Set as default browser".

According to "KDE Settings / Default Applications", Firefox ESR is the default web browser and the default file association for HTML files. Firefox and Chromium (and I presume Konqueror) are installed. A similar laptop with similar software on it does not exhibit the problem.

What is Firefox actually checking to determine whether it needs to ask "Set as default browser"?

When I go to Settings - Cookies and Site Data - Manage Data, it doesn't show all websites that have stored data. Even including for which sites I have a tab open, and I can literally see in the dev tools they have cookies and other storage. Maybe not all of them cache, but most do, and all those sites definitely have other storage like localStorage, and cookies.

How can I get the mentioned feature to *actually* show all sites that have any kind of data that I might wish to clear?

And if I find 2 or 3 sites are missing from there, how many more are missing that I'm just not noticing?...

I tried to use a ftp link setting firefox as the default ftp app, not realizing firefox no longer supports ftp. I am unable to reset the default app and can't find the setting to do so. I downloaded filezilla and wish to set it to be the default app for ftp. Can someone help me with this? Before anyone suggests it, resetting firefox to default settings is not an option.

Not sure if this is related, but I had just enrolled to continued Windows 10 updates and then found that CCleaner wouldn't run anymore. I couldn't get it fixed no matter what I tried so I had to reinstall an older version of it. It opened up Chrome browser on my computer after finishing the installation, and now, I can't figure out how to make Firefox the default browser again. Windows 10 Home Alienware 15R4.

I usually have a lot of pages open on Firefox and the display in the dock gets packed, if you will. I would like to see an option in the settings to turn the dock display off, just for your program, Firefox. It would be nice to toggle this option. I've searched for about an hour trying for an option and a solution. Thanks for your good works. I'm on an early Mac Mini 15.7.1

Take care. Have fun. //... Joe [edited email from public community support forum]

I cannot receive a page from the copyright office because they say I have a popup blocker preventing it. How do I find it to turn it off. It is not in the system settings when searched. Help please.
