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.

When I download with this browser, I cannot open the file and it states download has "failed". Any other browser I use allows me to open the file. I use Firefox most often because I like the way it performs, but the download issue causes me to look elsewhere for a viable browser. I cannot seem to find what is causing the download failure and am hoping you can offer a reason that will provide a fairly quick fix.

Hi everyone,

I use Firefox for most of my research and frequently save articles, documentation, and webpages for work. Is there a simple way to turn this content into presentation slides without copying everything manually? I recently came across MagicSlides AI PPT Maker, which seems to generate presentations from existing content, and I'm wondering if anyone here has tried it or knows similar tools that work well with Firefox.

Pay attention. After the last browser update, the "Adblock plus" and "malwarebytes guard" extensions suspend the YouTube tabs that open, which is why you have to restart your computer.

Encountered it after the last update. When opening a new tab with a video on YouTube, a message appears that "Adblock plus" and "malwarebytes guard" slow down the browser, while the tab freezes, and even after closing it, it is impossible to open a new tab with a video (empty tabs open). Restarting the browser does not help, only restarting the computer. At the same time, I want to note that I am in Russia, where YouTube is launched only when VPN and similar means of circumventing locks are enabled (I use zapret).

I use the Firefox browser for MacOS and i use and XBOX series X controller. I connect via Mac Bluetooth and use my XBOX controller for many browser gaming platforms such as XBOX Cloud. The Firefox browser always has connection issues. The controller works perfectly with many other browsers such as Chrome, Edge, DuckDuckGo, Opera (all iterations). Firefox is the only browser were I've had connection issues.

It was working just fine, and suddenly it stopped working. I hadn't rebooted my computer for over a month, and accidentally popped the circuit breaker the computer was connected to, so it rebooted for the first time in a long time. No other issues except Firefox will not connect to the internet when Proton VPN is running, but Firefox works just fine when the VPN is turned off.

I updated to the latest version of Firefox, so I assume that's the same thing as reinstalling it.

Proton VPN allows you to do what they call "split tunneling", where some browsers are excluded from the VPN (Firefox) and other browsers are always behind the VPN (everything else). I use Firefox as a secondary backup browser when the VPN is a problem and I don't want to turn it off.

I ran the Firefox "Safe Mode" and that failed to connect as well. I don't think it's the VPN? But maybe?

Any help appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I have Mozilla VPN installed on my computer, but not in Firefox. Recently, whenever I turn the VPN on or off, the tab I have open in Firefox reloads. This usually doesn't matter, but sometimes it's really annoying, like when I'm really deep in an infinite scroll website. I want to turn it off, but I tried turning accessibility.blockautorefresh on in about:config, and it still does it. I don't want to blindly mess with settings when I don't know what they do. Does anyone know if there's a setting/group of settings I can use to stop Firefox from reloading on network change?

After your security fix this morning, I discovered that I can't access my earthlink inbox. I keep getting the login page, and when I try to log in, the login page is all I get. I can, however, access my earthlink inbox on Edge. So I wonder if there was something in your security fix that is creating this problem on Firefox. How to fix this?

Hello,

Since several months I had the experience that when I open a new tap, all my open taps, sometimes perhaps 25, are completely gone. Spend a lot of time in search and then I lose everything. Did not find a way to restore, sometimes I could. How it happens and how to do? It is more or less from the time that there is a special sign left from my toolbar and since that sign is there very strange things are happening. Is there a solution for it. Since this sign is there evrything becomes complicated. Thanks for hel in advance. Theo
