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.

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

I am trying to add a website push notification on a mac desktop. I went to Privacy and Security >Notifications> Settings, and could not find any way to add a URL, I could only search for one.

I'm sorry to be asking this question again, but my previous thread was locked without my being given an opportunity to respond. The question was this:

I have Bing as my homepage, but on one computer I have a very annoying problem. I click on the settings to turn off 'Show news and interests' and 'Show trending on Bing', but the next time I come back to the homepage these settings have turned themselves back on. What do I have to do to retain these settings?

Denys responded to say it was a feature introduced by an extension. I'm not sure what gave this impression; I'm simply going to the Bing homepage (www.bing.com). I do have extensions installed, but I have turned them all off for this page just in case it was one of these that was causing the issue. If you click on the hamburger menu at the top right of this page you have an option to disable 'Show trending' and 'Show news etc', but as soon as the page is refreshed the news and trending, which appear at the bottom of the page, reappear. It's as if Firefox isn't saving the cookies, and yet it clearly is.

I'm having problems getting Firefox to work in Protonmail un able to send emails ...Copy& Paste......I think it is this New Version.............When I removed it from my applications & downloaded Google Chrome it all worked, that tells me the problem is with Fire Fox version I think

I lost my Firefox on my pc. I thought i needed to download it again but when I downloaded it, it was a different version and none of my bookmarks were available. I don't know how to restore my old firefox. Help, please.

Hi, When I click on a link in ANY email, it says " Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at omxj86ebb.cc.rs6.net. If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I know I did something to make my computer more secure, but don't remember. Please help! THANK YOU!

I'm trying to figure out how to get the recommended stories independent of Firefox Desktop.

So, by default, what domain or IP does Firefox send API requests to when it fetches the recommended stories on the new tab page?

About a third of the time when I go to a new site I have to "reload tab" once or twice. Sometimes it will open the site and then stall and I have to "refresh". You keep upgrading so I assume my software is up to date.

After defaulting Firefox, the previously used add-ons Easy-YouTube downloader, Easy YouTube Video Downloader Pro as well as YouTube Online Video Downloader do not appear on Youtube anymore, like they did before. This never happened before. It was always possible to add and use them again. What to do? Thank you for your help.. I should maybe add that I use a Laptop with Windows Seven. Laugh if you like, I want nothing else, why would I ? I know how to use this thing and it took me long enough, the newer Microsoft Programmes I came across are so terrible, I wonder how any-one can stand them. Thanks again for your time.

Fix "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. I fixed it 2 days ago thanks to your method and today I find myself in the same situation once more... And I confess I"m fed up. Not the only issue with Firefox (like denied access to many webpages) although I share its values and then I'll be giving up !

Hi. I just switched to Windows Defender for antivirus. On Google Chrome I had to add an extension so Defender will work with Chrome to detect malicious websites.

On the eicar.org website the test virus is stopped on the Microsoft and Chrome browsers, but not with Firefox.

How do I set up Defender to work with Firefox?

Thanks
