My javascript cannot detect the difference beween closing a new preferences tab and a new non domain tab. I believe this is for security reasons. This leads to one of my custom messages popping up when closing a non domain tab, which is not standard behavour on other websites on FireFox. If the user does or does not follow the popup instructions everything works fine. My question is: does this disqualify my website from being posted to the internet for FireFox browsing, or is it tolerable to users and to Mozilla? I have intentionally left out of this post technical information about my javascript. Believe me, I have tried countless ways to code my way out of this situation but due to Firefox's strong security measures, it is impossible. I should mention that perhaps if my script was an addon I would have accesss to the TAbs API which might offer a solution. The purpose of the script is to update the website to changes to the default Browser Zoom Level as found in the prefererence settings. Does anyone know if this purpose is compatible with FireFox Addon developement?Thanks so much for directing me to informed assistance. I hope the post is not "TMI"!!

My checking acct was hacked on GOOGLE EM yesterday- person charged a HP laptop to my checking account. Thankfully, my credit union alert phoned me to confirm this purchase and did not distribute the $1275 charge. I phoned them and they filed a fraud report and blocked my card. They advised I contact HP and 'CANCEL" this fraudulent charge. I phoned the number for HP on the email I received confirming my purchase and a second HP email saying my payment was declined. I was forwarded to their FRAUD dept, agent. Who took my name, phone and address. Then advised me that they cancelled the purchase and it had NOT been a completed bank transaction.

I am gettingHUNDREDS of spams daily. I used up the 5000 BLOCKS they allow over a year ago. SICK OF GOOGLE porn, fake US GOVT, and CASINO deposits as well as coming from all over the GLOBE into my email. I do send everone of the fake US GOVT email to Fraud report website I do report SPAM and also PHISHING on each one of these hundreds daily...soooooo tired of GOOGLE SHITMAIL! Please tell me safest email to use.

Also, 2nd request. Can you help me understand WHY even though I DO have my Firefox settings to save open tabs when I close or shut down, as well as to OPEN FIREFOX whenever I restart my computer...neither are working!

ALSO, 3rd request I have gmail set for email receivt onFirefox. and there are two areas to conduct a search FIREFOX in the center of the screen and of course the top line access to enter a search query...whenever I type in the FIREFOX Box to conduct a search it automatically goes to the upper entry box.

I am 79, a former educator, and have vg mental health still, YET, I HATE MORE AND MORE USING the computer and the cellphone, as there seems daily to be something that does not work and going to settings and reading each area to figure out what is wrong or why this happened is too difficult to read, to do, to recall withoug having to PRINT OUT EACH DIRECTION.

Yes, perhaps, I too have become a dinosaur and my mind is NOT calibrated to the CONSTANT UPDATES and changes demanded using new computer and phone technologies.

I thank GOD we do have people LIKE YOU TECHIES to try to help us GET IT RIGHT.

I changed ISP's this week and my computer connects via Ethernet cable through my router. I have no real issues accessing the internet. But after waking from sleep or restarting, Firefox displays the network login prompt. How do I get rid of it? Thanks.

I had to erase my laptop and am in the process of resetting it up. I used firefox prior and am trying to see if it is possible to restore all my previous bookmarks etc. I was told it automatically backed them up.

I would like to install the Pangram extension to Firefox. Can you check it to see if it is ok? It seem like a reliable company and I think it will help me sort out AI generated content from human.

Hello, I have Macbook using Firefox 115.33 and from time to time i got a note asking to update .I would appreciate if you could help me to do so Thank you Regards Humphrey Louis Moorghen

Firefox does not ask where to save downloads. They are simply saved automatically and then opened.,

1. I have no idea where a PDF was saved to when it opens.

2. When it is open (it opens in Foxit Reader), I can not delete the PDF. (aside: I consider this is flaw, but that is Foxit Reader's problem, not Firefox's. Or, is it really?)

I want downloads save to the same place ALWAYS or I want the option to ALWAYS specify where to save a download.

How do I achieve that goal?

I recently noticed that EVERY pdf I open for reading is being saved in my computer's Downloads folder! DESPITE my Settings "Ask where to save files before downloading" and "Ask to open or save files." I am enrolled in an online certification program: There is LOTS of reading. LOTS of information being shared through the class portal. I just discovered this mess a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I added a check mark to Other Files under Settings: "Delete private window downloads on close." I'm hoping this will resolve the problem. Am I missing something??? WHY is my longtime browser doing me like this?

FYI: I'm using the Windows 11 OS on my six-year-old laptop. My Firefox (152.0.5) stays current.

Lately I have this I'm not a robot come up, and even after I check the box, I can't verify the pictures they set up with google. Keeps on going to the next one, and so on. How do I look for a bad extension or whatever? I'm having to use Chrome for now.

I can not seem to find the button to open a saved, closed tab group. I have googled, and there seems to be a lot of people with the same issue. However, None of the information given under those forums provides me with a clear, easy solution. Please help.

With the latest updates, my Firefox window has no way to minimize/resize/close the window. (There are also no tabs/bookmarks) I see nothing in the settings options that seems relevant.

Using Windows 11 on Lenovo laptop, Firefox 152.0.5
