I can't do FB 'Live' with Firefox. It keeps telling me to use Chrome.
when I try to do a Live show a pop up keeps insisting I use Chrome. There is an x in the top right, but that doesn't help, it only takes me back to my Timeline

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, and every time I start firefox, it gives me the "Choose User Profile" prompt, even with "Use the selected profile without asking on startup" selected. My about:profiles has only one profile (which is set to default), and both my profiles.ini file and installs.ini file contain only that profile. The profiles.ini file also has StartWithLastProfile=1. It's not really that big a deal, but it is annoying and any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I had Firefox from my email, tomspencer@eml.cc.
I tried to create a second Firefox profile for gwendaspencer@eml.cc.
Instead they appear to have merged. I have also lost all my old bookmarks. I'm not even sure that I can log into the Firefox browser associated with tomspencer@eml.cc.
Thanks for considering this.

Click-to-script option for extensions and or customizable restrictions for more privacy

I've read about click-to-script and extension restriction options of chrome 70 upwards in the mozilla add-ons blog (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/10/26/firefox-chrome-and-the-future-of-trustworthy-extensions/).
Especially the click-to-script option is something I was searching for for a long time. Can somebody point me to a more recent discussion of such features for firefox or better yet the capability itself? Maybe an extension could be written that implements said behaviour for the other installed extensions, disabling them until one clicks their icon and disabling them again after changing the page?
I'd also be grateful for more search terms I could use myself; maybe there's a synonym for the click-to-script behaviour I didn't come across yet, but currently I'm having a tough time finding anything on the topic.

I, like most people, use ad-blockers (ABP) but ad providers are always discovering new ways to annoy; is there a way to prevent Firefox from creating new tabs and windows, or ask for user confirmation whenever such event happens?

I want Cmd-Right to be "Select Next Tab" and Cmd-Left to be "Select Previous Tab". This is impossible with Firefox. The shortkeys extension can't do it, Firefox can't do it, and "Select Next Tab" and "Select Previous Tab" are not in the macOS menu, so I can't use macOS to customize my keyboard shortcuts like a I can with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Since upgrading our Kaspersky program, I can no longer download and print documents from a website used daily for work. Contacted the website's Support office; it is an issue betweenFirefox and Kaspersky. Have stopped Kaspersky from injecting script into web traffic, but this hasn't fixed the problem. Kaspersky has not been helpful. Is there a fix through Firefox?

I have used Firefox for years, and never found it user hostile. I just loaded Firefox for Android and did my very best to get it working, but it won't let me start browsing. Remember, I am a long time user. What has changed? I have already been working on this for two hours. I believe it might have something to do with (1) that damnable Android 9, which seems to have changed everything just to make things harder and lose customers, or (2) some trendy "security" fetish. What's going on?
Browse file won't open dialog

Firefox used to have a button appear when it blocked a redirect, allowing exceptions to be added easily. This seems to have disappeared not too long ago. Worse, when I add URLs manually, it continues to block the sites. As far as I can tell, it allows no exceptions. I cleared the table and reentented one that I'm having trouble with at the moment. No luck. Many restarts and reboots. Any ideas?

Since updating to 72.0.2 on a Mac, CSS mask-size no longer works. Any element with the mask-image no longer displays, removing the mask-size from the CSS, everything displays again, but obviously without the mask element.

I now get a blank frame where the chart should be, with spinning circle in the center but the chart never loads. This chart does load fine with IE v11 however, which I never use unless forced. This chart was working fine on Firefox until the 72.0.1 update a few weeks ago. I've cleared the cookies, done a fresh load of the page from a browser search, but no luck.

It's an intermittent issue but very frequent and annoying, and I think it is related to the firefox's over sensitivity to touch pad gestures. I have experienced many times whenever I intend to do a two finger scroll, the browser interprets it as adjusting zoom(which is via two finger pinch). It can't be the issue of my touchpad device / driver issue because pinch zoom and two finger scroll has worked perfectly on other browsers and apps. I haven't encountered a single case where an app interpreted my two finger scroll as a zoom action since the moment i bought this laptop. I believe it has something to do with firefox.
if I "Open in New Tab", how can I (in that new tab) eliminate the address of the 'opened from' tab which always appears after a question mark?

For example, a BBC news article cites a report from the U.N. Opening the link to the U.N. report in a new tab leads to an address such as “http://www.un.org/budget/?bbc etc” when what I need for citation is to the UN report is just “http://www.un.org/budget/”. In citing reports for an article it is time consuming to open in a new tab, highlight the actual address (but not the ? and referred-from address which follows) then open the actual address in a new tab so it can be entered as a footnote in what I am writing. I would like the address to open in a new tab without the referred-from info.

I actually think this issue is to do with Windows 10 rather than Firefox as such...but I'll ask here anyway. In fact I kind of know it's Win 10 because pretty much the same thing happens on Edge and Chrome :) Anyway,in Win 7 when you right click and select 'save as' [eg for a picture on Twitter] it saves the file literally instantly...but on Win 10 there's a slight delay,of say a few seconds,before it goes ahead and saves the file. I've tried tons of things that people suggest for this issue,like disabling every service that isn't absolutely necessary etc,disabling some of them fixes it for a short while,then the same thing starts again. Tried a couple of different anti-virus programs [I usually use Avast,I tried Panda and Bitdefender],it did seem a tiny bit better for a while with Panda...but only for a while. I tried several other things I saw in different forums,that I can't remember,none of which fixed it. So I reinstalled Win 7 on that machine...100% perfect,instant 'save as' function,just as it always was before [this lasted for whole 3 days I had Win 7 on there]
I thought,well maybe it's that this old pc doesn't like Windows 10 or something,so since the pc was getting pretty old anyway I then bought a brand new 9th Gen i7 pc with 16GB RAM,installed Win 10 and it's exactly the same.
This problem does seem to go away if I reboot...but then it comes back an hour later...or 5 minutes later :) Does anyone have any idea at all what I can do to fix this? Or is this just normal for Win 10? It's only a fairly small delay,not the 20-30 second delay some others are reporting,it's not the end of the world I suppose,but it's just really annoying,for instance if you're downloading a whole bunch of pics or something it's almost unusable. Thanks

Firefox initially popped open a window stating that I already had another copy open and so wouldn't open. After some investigating, I found a fix and followed the steps to delete profiles - possibly the cause of the errors. (I had applied this solution once months ago and it had worked then.) Subsequent to this attempt, I was unable to open Firefox - even with the creation of new profile(s). Given the situation, I deleted Firefox entirely by dragging into Trash and emptying the trash and re-logging in. Downloaded a clean new install from the Mozilla website. Although the DMG file downloaded fine, when I attempt to copy app to Applications folder, the system hangs. So now there is no way to re-install Firefox?!
This link /post seems to reflect my condition: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1240427 However at the given location on my computer, I only had a FB video plugin - even after i deleted that, there is no change, i.e. remain unable to implement a fresh new install of Firefox.
Suggestions? Thanks! RT12
p.s. Using a different computer to post this. When I get a chance, I'll go back to the one with this issue and see if I can post the "troubleshooting information".
