Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

After the most recent update, my desktop version of Firefox keeps disconnection Sync so my passwords disappear. I also have an iPhone Firefox app doing Sync. The passwords reappear when I reconnect Sync on the workstation, but I want the desktop workstation to be the master and the passwords to always be available. How do fix it?

Dear Mozilla // Firefox persons - you really know how to shoot yourself in the foot.... I am fed up having lost all bookmarks and not able to initiate anew despite intolerable checks for updates, restarts & reinstalls. Really pissed me off. Your "help" pages are grossly overpopulated with waffle and dead end links.

I can't open Firefox. I keep getting the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window.". I can't find it to close. I tried uninstalling it, but I keep circling back to the same message. I tried refreshing it and again same message. I un installled Surfshark VPN, I ran Windows Defender antivirus. I am now out of ideas. I do have two profiles, but the message about deleting them is scary. I don't want to do anything until I understand what I am doing.

Windows 11; all updates are installed, Dell computer purchased in October, with AMD processor.

I have the latest version 151.0.2 (64-bit), always update. It's terribly buggy now out of nowhere. Tabs won't connect to the internet after laptop wakes from sleep. All other browsers still do. If I close FF and reopen I lose ALL my tabs even though for decades I've had it set to reopen all tabs. What's up?

When you roll (minimally) the mouse wheel, up or down, while using Google Sheets in Firefox (only!), it sends you all the way down to the end of the sheet. Do it again, and it won't move from that position. I have been asking this for a while. Seems like a minor bug, but it's PRETTY annoying for those of us who have the use of the mouse wheel as a second nature. So please, PLEASE, PLEASE , fix the bug!

thanks

What happens here is my bookmarks still show on the bar, but they show as grey with no color and the URL is blank. I can restore them using Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore, but this is happening at least once a week on both my and my wifes HP Desktops. I am wondering if it may be related to Iolo System Mechanic, which we both use to keep our computers "clean"?
