System suddenly changed IE to default browser for Thunderbird messages. Going through Settings, Defaults, Firefox is not an option, the icon is not there. The main issue is Thunderbird now opens messages in IE all of a sudden instead of Firefox. In Firefox Options, I click on set default and it comes up with IE or search store for an app. I'd be grateful for any help.
Windows 8.1 Tablet Suddenly Dragging Not Responsive and Links Are "Too Sensitive"

I have been using this tablet everyday for over 5 years. It is running Windows 8.1. Today (1/19/2020) it began exhibiting weird problems. (1) Most noticeable is if I want to drag the screen up or down it "almost" doesn't respond. That is, if I put my finger or stylus at a point, say near the bottom of the screen and drag up to the top, the screen image will only move 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen. For the last 5 or more years it would go all the way up.
(2a) Before, on a page with links I could touch the link (with finger or stylus) and a pop-up would give me the option to "Open Link in new tab or container or......" Now those options don't appear and when I take my finger off the link it opens in a new window (as I have set FireFox in options).
(2b) It seems it I touch just near the link but not on it, it still opens the link in a new window.
FireFox 72.0.1 (32-bit) was installed 10 days ago but this problem just showed up today (1/19/2020).
Windows installed two updates and a security update yesterday. I uninstalled all three and still I have the problem.

Hello,
is there an option to limit the usage of GPU-Resources? I have an GTX 970 which behaves weird if more than 3.5 GB of GPU-Memory are used due to the memory connection (Framebuffer apparently becomes corrupt). I'd like to limit Firefox to 2GB or something so i still have some left for other applications.
Is this possible?
Kind Regards

After upgrading to 72.0.1 Firefox becomes 'non-responding' and locks up EVERY time I try to print something. What can I do?

Laptop OS Win8.1 Pro, 64 bit. When I select 'Print', I get the printer selection box. When I select 'Print' or 'Cancel' Firefox immediately fades out and 'unresponding' happens. Requires being shut down by Task Manager, as the red "X" in the upper right corner does not work, either. Print worked fine prior to the last update.

Firefox often hangs when I try to download files from the internet. This is independent of the directory to which I am saving (I have "ask me" enabled"). I have cleared the download history, but the problem persists. Typically, if I terminate Firefox during the hand and restart it (normally, not in safe mode), subsequent downloads are successful. The behavior is consistent over different websites and file types. I am using Firefox 71.0 under Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I don't have problems with "Save As" in any other application. There are reports of similar problems in Bugzilla and MozillaZine going back many years. I attempted to automatically add troubleshooting information, but got a message about missing a plugin instead, and lost all the text I had typed in here, so I have now added it manually.

Hello friends. Thanks for your help :)
In the past I have been able to save my Bookmarks into a Word doc so I could further sort and organize them. When I did this the links from the bookmarks were active and I could click on any one and go to the corresponding website/article or whatever.
For some reason when I now choose "Export Bookmarks to HTML" in Firefox and double click on the link to open them in Word I am presented with a "File Conversion" box that I'm unfamiliar with and when I click OK it spits out what looks to be some type of coded gibberish and not my Bookmark links.
The attached 3 files are numbered 1 to 3. Please read them in order. Thanks.

Starting two days ago screenshots just stopped working. Now whenever I try a page with a sad bear opens and closes within a second and a message in the corner says "Out of Order. Sorry! We couldn't save your shot. Please try again later." I didn't touch any options and it was working fine before that. I don't know if this is a problem others are having or just me.

Since Jan. 8, 2020; after installing Rapid SCADA, some websites will not work as they did the day before. This is scripts not working after clicking on "Login" button for the website https://myrealfoods.com/evr/index.php on Firefox, Opera, Opera Neon, and Brave. The website https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/?aid=gapzap# will not allow the drop-down menus (ALL Channels, Today, Now) to function. I deleted cookies, yet Google knows where I've been. I don't use any Google software as I believe they are the most evil monopoly. Do you have a guess as to what I need to get my browser to work again? Firefox is my default browser.

With the latest Firefox running if I also start Chrome it tries to kill the Firefox task. I see "Firefox has stopped working" dialogs 2 or 3 times in a row, but Firefox is not actually killed.
What on Earth is up with that?
How can it be prevented?

Hello, Our company uses a proxy in whitelisting mode. Until recently, clicking any HTTPS link unauthorized by proxy (403 by Squid) would result in an unambiguous error page informing the user that the connection was refused (if needed, they can open a corporate page showing the most recent hostnames blocked from their machine and request authorization).
Now, when clicking an unauthorized link (403 by Squid proxy) in FF, nothing happens. The GUI simply stales as nothing happened. To reproduce: 1. Configure FF with an HTTP proxy (squid) in deny by default. 2. Open duckduckgo, search something, and click on any https link that has not been whitelisted in the proxy. 3. After the click, nothing happens -> no error, no information message, nothing. (in the dev tools -> network tab, one can see a 403 status.)
This also happens when browsing websites: if the website includes a link to another website that is not whitelisted, nothing happens, the user is not informed that the host could not be reached.
This seems like a mechanism has been broken, as FF always used to inform the user of the host not responding with an error page.

Tabs on bottom only partially solved for FF 72.01

I had previously posted the "Why doesn't Firefox provide the option of tabs below menu bar?" at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1276795
I believed that the issue was solved by cor-el at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1274416#answer-1279083
However, I have since discovered that this fix does not work in Private Browsing mode. Tabs still overlap the bookmark toolbar as they did with regular browsing before applying the aforementioned fix.
Does anyone have a modification to the userChrome.css file or tabs-on-bottom.css file referred to earlier which will place tabs below the menu/bookmark toolbar when using Private Browsing as well?

The language that I chose to apply on firefox is written from the right to the left. Thus, firefox should be adjusted to that language. There is 1 problem. When applied on this right to left language, the tabs are from the right to the left, but also the window buttons. The picture attached describes best the issue.

Firefox keeps changing what is necessary in the userChrome.css file in order to place tabs below the Menu and Bookmark toolbars. Because of this, there are so many different versions of the code that must be added to that file that it has become virtually impossible to keep up with it.
It would be so much simpler for users if the Tabs below Menu/Bookmark toolbar option was again made an option. Failing that, would someone please publish the code currently necessary to accomplish this with Firefox 72.01.
Web pages get stuck on 'Looking up...' and cycle through a lot of unrelated pages

Hello,
My Firefox browser (72.0, 64-bit, Win8.1) became slower at loading pages with the previous update, and I've noticed that it's caused by the same problem on each page to varying degrees. I'll click on a page to load it, then the black 'finding' dot on the tab will bobble about a bit, then it turns to the blue 'connecting' dot and keeps loading for minutes. At the bottom left the page will say 'Looking up...' and will start off with the right or at least a reasonable address, such as www.google.com etc, but then it will keep going and come up with a load of random pages that all seem connected with adverts, tracking or monitoring. For example, looking up 'www.ikea.com' took 4 minutes 23 seconds from entering it to it loading fully. In that time covered the following:
Looking up www.ikea.com Looking up fonts.googleapis.com Looking up www.googletagmanager.com Looking up www.facebook.com Read s.salecycle.com Looking up www.facebook.com Looking up (numbers and letters).cloudfront.net Looking up www.google-analytics.com TLS handshake with i.salecycle.com Sending i.salecycle.com Looking up www.google-analytics.com Waiting for www.google-analytics.com
I don't have this problem with anything else connected to the network - I tested the WiFi connection just now on my Xbox and got 35.73, 34.31 and 35.94mb/s, but trying to load broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk on Firefox took 16m 13s just to load the page, and it's not even got near to starting the test. In that time I tried to write down all the pages it listed as looking up, waiting for, reading or TLS handshake with..., and have 44 different addresses that it was cycling through (probably more as some were very rapid) including:
us.creative.com cdn.cabla.to ap.lijit.com fw.adsafeprotected.com secure.adnxs.com pc.moatads.com ws.sessioncam.com sync.tidaltv.com
Pages on my phone are loading normally within a second or two. Unfortunately I'm having to write this on my phone because Mozilla Help won't let me log in because of 'unexpected error' which I think is it timing out. I've done a full Malwarebytes scan and a full Bullguard scan with no hits, full adwcleaner with nothing, I've reset Firefox, deleted the cache and cookies and have Tracking set to Strict and still no joy.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong and what I can do to fix it?
