Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

A heart has recently been included in the Firefox icon in my taskbar. What's the reason for it and what do I have to do so that the Firefox icon no longer has it? I've run a number of antimalware programs and they came up with nothing.

I've just heard that the new Mozilla CEO plans to move Firefox towards being an "A.I Browser" over the course of the next three years. I am incredibly upset and disappointed by this.

Firefox been my go-to browser for its lack of built-in bloatware and spyware; for a little over a decade I have relied on this browser and felt secure in its future up until now. I am incredibly frustrated by this direction. At this point, I might as well go back to Google Chrome. I am frustrated, disappointed, and angry about this doubling down.

A.I is bloatware. Anything it can do, I can (and would rather) do myself with minimal effort. It offers no features that I find valuable, and should Firefox move forward with this, not only will I no longer be recommending this browser to my friends and family, I will leave it myself and encourage my friends and family to do the same.

This is a disturbing promise from the CEO, and I hope for the sake of the browser that it is left unfulfilled.

Background: Computer had unexplained shutdowns. Dell tech replaced motherboard and block. Now seems to be working OK.

Problem: I had a small icon on the Navigation Toolbar, not more than an outline. It would delete cookies from a site (generally when I had reached some undefined limit I could then close and return to that website.) This icon may or may not have been a “padlock”. It erased the cookies only from the “active” site. It did not “touch” the logins. I have not been able to recreated this icon or anything that works the same way. In the process of trying to recreate that icon, I apparently have changed how the Firefox Bookmarks Bar works. I used to have 2 rows of Bookmarks Tabs. Each has between 1 and (as many as) 10 Bookmarks. When I start Firefox, all the Bookmarks are fine, but when I select a Bookmark and it opens, all the other Bookmarks disappear. There are only 2 ways to get the Bookmarks back: (1) Close Firefox; (2) Click the left arrow on the Navigation Toolbar (Note: This can be used to “cycle” back and back if any other searching has been done.)

What I want:

    1.)	I want the Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar to remain and I browse.
    2.)	I would like, if possible, to have an icon that quickly clears cookies in the active site that were added in the active session.

My Mozilla account has been disconnected. When I try to sign in, I enter my email and password, and am then prompted to enter a confirmation code that reportedly was emailed to me. The problem is that no such email arrives. Without that access code, I cannot log in, and syncing does not work. This is not a problem with my spam filter, because that filter is turned off, and I have no difficulty with receiving emails from other senders. How can I either get that access code sent to me, or get logged in without it?

Upon sign-in to Hotmail, Firefox reports "you have tried to sign in too many times with wrong password", which is not true, and password works with chrome.

I have had this problem in the past, but now its back again. At first I just reset my password every time, then I set up the password to be auto-filled. I have had no sign-in failures for months. At one point i did figure out how to check my sign in history to see the failed attempts, and there were none. That was a long time ago, and I have since forgotten how to check this. The problem does seem to be with firefox as it does not happen with chrome.

Certain webpages are now enlarged to the point of being unusable. I have not changed any settings in Firefox. Zoom is at the typical 100% and zooming out does not fix the issue.
