More of a rant than a question. Making a Mozilla account for Sync is not worth it for the average user who likes to use this feature as a solution to writing down every password or saving sites as bookmarks. Without recovery keys if you must reset your password because you forgot, because it is unwise to write down passwords as well as use the same password for everything(for security reasons), Mozilla will wipe your data, for "security reasons". But, you can still see all of your past logins to Mozilla's services. Why isn't this data wiped? It is a poor excuse to say that sync wasn't designed to be used as a back up, which is ridiculous. I have no reason to keep an account with Mozilla and neither does anyone else who expects to use this to store or save internet data. Auto fill is useless if this data is unrecoverable. Making Firefox even less useful. Even though posts going back years state that it is moving in the direction of being a back up. I guess it is super secure when even you can't remember your passwords and rely on a service such as Mozilla's Sync. These are things they don't tell you nor is the info easily found unless you have an issue and need to search for it. Then you find it when it's useless. Do better Mozilla. Been using FF for decades never used sync until this month Worked 1 time. Did 2 re-installs of Win on same PC got locked out of my Mozilla acct. Didn't think something as trivial as a PW reset would wipe my data. User beware! Extremely annoyed. Hope this is searchable as this answered multiple questions about Sync. It is pointless for Mozilla to have your data that you cannot recover.

Hello, I'm looking for a way to add a shortcut, similar to:

CTRL + Click = open link in new tab SHIFT + Click = open link in new window

What I want it to do is open a link in a Private mode window, to avoid having to open the right-click menu.

I came across this person asking for something similar (they specifically want the private window to not appear on top, I do not care if it gets automatically focused or not) https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1317416

The only answer links to a list of "command line options" and points to the private ones. I understand how you can use these to change how the Firefox shortcut behaves, or to open Firefox in a specific way from the "Run" command, but I do not know how, or if it is even possible to apply these settings to a specific shortcut-click combination.

Still using Firefox 78.15.0 esr (64 bit)

Am I correct that the toolbar icon " - | 100% | + " is the Firefox Zoom function? I have never been able to locate a toolbar icon for NoSquint Plus. I also have Theme & Font Size Changer, but it stopped working years ago. Anyway, working fine for many years, automatically setting the zoom on every tab to 150% so I can read it easily.

A few days ago I got into the NoSquint Plus preferences (NEVER OPEN THE HOOD !!!) , and wondered why it was set to chrome API instead of CSS API and changed it to see. That kind of broke it completely. Maybe changed other stuff trying to get it back...

At present, Firefox Default Zoom is set to 150% . NoSquint Plus is default full page 100% and default text only 150% There are no instructions telling me how these 3 settings will interact.

It seems that when I open NoSquint Plus Preferences and change the %, it works on all the tabs on that page, but not on any other page unless I open it & fiddle with it.

How do I get what I want? There is no "return to default settings" for NoSquint Plus.

Hello, I want to get funky looking tabs like this:

https://imgur.com/a/Xbc4Kih

But I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried searching for a way to do this, but everything I find is very old and doesn't work. One thing I keep finding is this: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis

But that doesn't work for me, it just makes the tabs less tall. I've tried switching to nightly and that didn't do anything so I'm pretty lost. I don't know CSS or anything so I cant do it myself.

If anyone knows how to do this then please tell me!! thx!

Firefox just will not print anything at all. I have tried all the suggested fixes; everything else on my computer prints fine to either directly connected printers or to network printers. The 3 other computers on my home network all print to all printers from Firefox. I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled I have deleted all printers and reinstalled When I do try to print with the print queue open, the file spooling briefly splashes up and disappears quickly. If I download a PDF from the web, it will not print from within Firefox, but will print from Acrobat or Nitro I have changed antivirus from Eset to Webroot anywhere. No improvement and in between with no Antivirus, Firefox would not print. Any thoughts, as I had to change browsers and I want to get back to Firefox? Help!!

Firefox 125.0.2 on Mac

When I press shift+cmd+D to bookmark all open tabs, instead of the links being saved to the designated folder, they are all saved to "Bookmarks Menu". The designated folder itself also appears with these links but it itself is empty.

I would expect shift+cmd+D to bookmark all links in the folder and the folder to appear in "Bookmarks Menu". This is what use to happen ages ago. I'm not sure what caused the change in behavior. Anyone have any ideas on fixing this?

I am running the latest updates to Windows 10 Pro x64. One of my monthly bills is paid at

1) https://e.synchronyfinancial.com/

which, in Brave, redirects to

2) https://lowes.syf.com/accounts/login

Inputting either link in Brave gets me to the finish line but the first link above fails in Firefox with the "Secure Connection Failed" message and dumps me at https://www.synchrony.com/accounts/. The second link does the same.

Is there any way to troubleshoot the problem?

I HAVE tried shutting-down Malwarebytes but the result was the same.

This is the only site on which I have encountered this issue. All that I can determine at the moment is that that certificate is from DigiCert and the expiration date is in 2025, i.e., this is not a Symantec cert.

DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 Organization (O) DigiCert Inc Organizational Unit (OU) <Not Part Of Certificate> Issued On Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at 6:00:00 PM Expires On Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at 5:59:59 PM
