I just somehow lost my settings, customizations and apparently my profile. I restarted Firefox 98 and it opened like it was a new install and even opened some tabs like a few of my extensions were newly installed.....................

HOW DO I GET IT BACK LIKE IT WAS?!!!!

Since the latest upgrade, when I click on a linked document in an e-mail and choose to open it in Firefox, the address on the new tab is file:///C:/Users/... rather than the actual URL of the document. This is very problematic for me, I do a lot of newsletter and social media work and I frequently need to be able to share document URLs (they are often sent to me for that purpose). How can I adjust my Firefox settings so clicking on a link takes me to the actual URL? I already changed the Settings / General / Applications selections to Always Ask, and it does always ask, but when I choose "Open with Firefox" I get a file:///C:/Users/... string in the search bar rather than the URL I need. Thanks for your help!

Hello - Can someone provide me a simple explanation of what Firefox considers "Connected Services"? The Connected Services screen says "Everything you are using and signed into" - which I can sort of understand - BUT, what is Firefox DOING with its access to my PC, for one thing? At the Connected Services screen there is no link or button which provides an explanation - as to what Firefox DOES with the Connected Services. Any positive, constructive information will be appreciated. JFC

So, is it Windows or Firefox browser that has completely screwed up our ability to simply set the background color for the browser, title bar and menu instead of being forced to use what some programmer decided on a Friday to create so they could go home early.? If it's Firefox, then go back to your browser people and tell them to fix this garbage. I'm going to have to look into other browsers if this is some permanent screw up. I'd really appreciate hearing from Firefox in answer to this.

After booting up my PC and logging in to Win10 I get a pop-up window (see attached 1) although I haven't even started FF.

The only FF process running during boot/login is the background update (see attached 2), but this never showed such a message before. I've been using FF for ages.

FF was updating successfully to 98.0.1 yesterday before I shut down my PC. FF seems to keep working with no problem - I'm using it right now...

I recently installed ExpressVPN which blocks internet access until the tunnel is established. So maybe the background update process got confused because it couldn't access the internet?

Any other ideas why I got this message - or how to get rid of it?

11am (my time): Background Update ran again (attached 3) with result code 0x15 (1st run was 0x0) but did not show any message this time...

the downloads icon in toolbar (the one that says, "Display the progress of ongoing downloads" when hovering cursor over it) keeps randomly opening and showing me the files that have downloaded as if i clicked on it. my cursor is nowhere near the icon, so no accidental clicking on it. and it seems to happen when I'm not touching the keyboard, mouse or trackpad. it just pops open. and there are not current downloads--just a list of files that have already been downloaded. odd...

In the past week or so something seems to have changed with Firefox whereby any time I go to open a file Firefox is first saving the file to the Downloads folder on my computer before opening. This never used to happen before as I was always given the option to just open the file or save it.

I have tried adjusting the settings and I have got Firefox to ask about opening the files, but it is still saving them to the Downloads folder automatically.

Can someone help with what changed and how I can revert it back to the how it performed a few weeks ago?

I currently have like 40 windows and a few hundred of tabs opened from when the bookmark star was not working after updates. I have found it too difficult to organize my current filing system ever since they stopped the drag and drop feature. I want to type in more than the first letter to find a file or folder. I want to type in a word - have those FOLDERS only come up to chose from with that word in their titles..but alas no field to do so. The Organize page is hard to find - below the options as a postscript on the ff options submenu. Once there - it doesn't bring up just folders in one box and the files that you want to organize in another box and the ability to drag them into the right folder. Instead it brings up only misc files in no particular order. I can't work with that for type of job. This is more for finding a file I think - alone. So -that's why I left so many files up. Not my normal way to do things - I would file them then close all windows down empty - or maybe just what I was working on still up. Not my question. My question is just what was in the title bar. That's all. Thanks. Oh I know the setting is there to have them open at start up or not. Question is is I say no - will they be deleted? I know you can click on "restore prior session" from the ff menu after history. (altho I can't see it - poss bec I opened with prior session. ) I basically want access to SEE my prior session windows/tabs without opening them until I CLICK on them to activate them. I want to see the TITLE of the links basically "off-line" and decide if I want to go there and work or not one by one - NOT to "restore all" or not. And if you don't restore previous session on your subsequent session - and logoff/shutdown. Is the prior session lost for your "3rd session and forward"? does it only save the very last session? say i had 40 windows open. chose not to open them auto next session - via settings. AND i never opened them all for that subsequent session. What happens to those 40 windows the next time? Are they unsaved? Since i never opened them - say only used the new blank windowtab to check the weather. closed the link shut down. That session had no windows or tabs left open but the home page = next session should have no windows or tabs saved in the ff menu underneath the history by how it is said. There is no clarification. It's a big deal to just try it - and lose 300 tabs I need to look at and favorite through. Get me? I hope it's clear. I feel you only need the title bar but it wouldn't allow so I felt I had to elaborate. PLS help. I have to clean up to do MS OS upgrades, backups, I have partions, gotta read up so this thing has to be fixed first. Plus auto opening/connecting to links on all those tabs at start up is interferring with updates bec they happen at the same time - badddd news. Thanks all!

I am unable to livestream video services from a monastery in the UK. I have clicked into the little shield at the left end of the web address bar in order to turn off the enhanced protection, but this does not have any effect, even though the website shows up as having had the protection disabled. I don't know whether I need to do anything in Firefox settings.

I was advised to use Google Chrome, and that browser does let me enter, but I prefer to stay with Firefox for all my browsing. I am an elderly person, and have to work harder than my children and grandchildren to keep up-to-date. If you could help me with some very clear instructions with the minumum of technical jargon I would be most grateful. I submit below a screenshot of what I see on the site despite the protection having been switched off on the little shield.

Hi all,

I use the sync tool for the Mozilla Firefox.

Unfortunately I'm not able to get my tiles (links) when I open a new Tab synchronized between the used Laptops. What do I wrong?

thanks in advance Mike

I've had a problem recently with some sites (such as support.apple.com, but also others) loading very slowly or not loading at all.

• Restarting Firefox fixes it for a short while
• I've tried changing to No Proxy from Use System Proxy Settings - this, like restarting, helped for a short while
• Unchecking DNS over HTTPS: DID resolve the problem but I'm curious as to why. I enable it with Safari with no problem.

Recently, I purchased some software to scrub my hard drive due to my Dell Desktop running slow. That is when the way I normally access emailed attached files changed. Normally, if I receive a WORD or EXCEL (MS file) in email, I can open the email and access the attachment without having to download and save to my desktop or hard drive. I have changed all settings in the Privacy Area / Trust Area of MS but this did not change anything. MS Representatives stated I would need to use Outlook to make this work, but I know it will work without using Outlook. I think the Scrubbing / Cleaning software I purchased changed a setting with my email for safety purposes since there is risk in opening a file directly from email. Any suggestions on how to change back to how this worked previously - without having to download and save the file? Thanks for your help.

As of yesterday all downloads from Gmail accounts on Firefox on my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop have failed. I can still download using Firefox on my Windows desktop and download using Chromium on my Ubuntu machine. I can find no useful help on the support pages

When I am on Facebook, and try to play a game, it starts a log-in loop. Since I moved over to Google Chrome, and I'm not having the problem, it has to be this browser. It just started yesterday. I've never had this problem before. Any ideas?

I have some local services under a local domain name: example.lena

Every time I try to access any of those services that are not in my history, Firefox chooses to search google instead of load up the url, with an option appearing under the toolbar saying: "Did you mean to go to http://example.lena/?

How can I force Firefox to first try the url instead of the google search?

Downloading attachment without having to save to a location it always brings up the download window choice even though I set to ask?? I would like to be able to just open the file and view as I have been able to do in the past??

Changes to how file downloads are handled in Firefox version 98 is a breaking change. Before this, FF understood that there are 2 different reasons why a file might be downloaded:

1. Because the User explicitly wants to save a file for later reference - these files were saved to a directory chosen by the User in Settings
2. Because the System needs to save a file e.g. in order to invoke an external handler such as a PDF viewer - these files were saved to a TEMP directory, and not controlled by Settings

Now under v98 both types of files are saved to the same location - e.g. my Desktop. So my Desktop is now full of files I consider to be temporary and useless!

Please restore the old behavior of 2 different locations for the 2 different types of download.

(Reverting to v97 in the meantime)

Thanks!
