Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

For a few weeks now, I've noticed that Firefox will not open properly and gets hung with a rotating circle. I have tried all of the conventional fixes including installing a new version but it doesn't seem to work. In the meantime, I will use Safari and occasionally, up to an hour later, it will open and operate normally...until I restart my Mac at which point the whole process starts all over again. But usually, I just get the finder message "Firefox not responding"

Please advise.

bonjour

Je suis administrateur d'un Google Workspace, et depuis la dernière mise à jour de Firefox, lorsque j'essaye de me connecter à la page des paramètres avancés d'un groupe Google, Google me renvoie Erreur 403. Avant la mise à jour, cela fonctionnait parfaitement. Si je passe par un autre navigateur, par exemple Edge, je n'ai pas de message d'erreur et j'arrive à me connecter.

J'ai bien la dernière version à jour de Firefox (146.0.1)

Pouvez vous m'aider ?

Merci

In regular conditions the Restore Previous Session works as intended. But if I open a private tab and then close my regular tabs (so only private tab is left open) firefox won't restore the closed tabs the next time I open it. It never happened with other browsers that I used in the past. Is there any way to fix this by tweaking config or smth? I think this might be caused by the fact that you can reopen closed tabs in private session with ctrl + shift + t, but I don't know the setting name to test it.

I'm using Fedora 43 and Xfce4 on my desktop, with four workspaces active. Thunderbird is on one and Firefox on another. What's supposed to happen is that my desktop should change to the one with Firefox and the link should open up on a new tab. What actually happens is that Firefox moves to the workspace Thunderbird's on, covering it up and the link opens on a new tab. I'm presuming that there's some sort of setting issue, but have no idea how to find it
