Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

I have imported book marks back and forth to different browsers. Now that I have decided that FF is what I want, I'm trying to get it working properly. The big hangup is the bookmarks, I had trouble importing bookmarks and now I have three menus, one tagged on to the other. Is there some way to incorporate the menus into one? I have tried to delete the extra menus, but the option is not available.

Hi, I disabled several options in About:Config, and a feature previously disappeared. When I pressed the scroll button in the diamond, it opened a tag and moved to it automatically. Whatever you do with the current tag, I want it. Please help me. ( I mean, it no longer applies to bookmarks, I want it to apply to bookmarks )

Hi, I used to have my bookmarks on my toolbar.

For some reason, my bookmark toolbar is still there but it is not reflecting anything. I have read and tried almost every article/guide but I still can't get it back. I can only add a "show your bookmarks" tab on it and then have it open up a menu to open my bookmarks which isn't what I want.

Hello,

I had to deactivate 2FA briefly, and then attempted to use a reactivate it again. I am able to scan a QR, but when I try to enter the OTP codes that show up, I receive the following message "Incorrect two-step authentication code". This has happened with Raivo and Authy (the previous 2FA app). What is causing this?

I have been using Firefox as my preferred browser for years. Recently I notice that when using Outlook mail in web the paste option is gone when replying to an email. Everything works in Chrome and Edge correctly but not Firefox. I instead get a text toolbar and an option to insert an emoji. Note this is ONLY if I am replying to an email. In new emails I am able to use the file toolbar and paste from there. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to keep using Firefox. I have tried all the online remedies including clearing the cache to no avail.

In browser settings i've disabled telemetry and data sharing with "mozilla". Why do put mozilla in quotes? Because the data is actually going to google. I'm monitoring my computers connections and i see firefox connecting to google immediately after opening the browser, that's without connecting to any website. Firefox used to be a great privacy browser, these times are long gone and it's a shame. Mozilla, you have lost all honor.

Plus, libraries of firefox are proprietary? Which part exactly? Forks of firefox are most likely affected by the sroprietary libraries aren't they...

Hi all,

I just started working from home for a UK branch of an USA company. My work involves having to use VPN to their USA head office. It all works fine. My location is obviously incorrect showing that my computer is located in the USA in their home city. I understand that.

It causes me problems with Google Search because it always show me USA based results, not UK based results. I need to be able to force Google to show me results from the UK. No, going to www.google.co.uk doesn't work, it still shows me the USA biased results.

To a lesser extent, it causes me problems with Google Maps as it keep on searching the wrong areas and returning the wrong results/directions.

I understand the VPN is causing the location issue, I am not disputing that. I am asking how to make Firefox show Google my actual location, please? I'd much prefer to avoid browser extensions. I tried changing "geo.provider.network.url" in "about:config". https://browserleaks.com/geo shows the fixed location, i.e., the location I put in. However, Google isn't fooled by this and still show me the wrong location in the USA.

Any way to force Google to show me the correct location, please? Many thanks.

The Firefox built-in Picture-In-Picture works great and has great pictures, much better than Chrome addon PIPs. I noticed today it has gone through an update and the first difference I noticed is the "Back to tab" button has moved from bottom center to top left. As I said, the PIP of Firefox has a great design and features, but is missing one feature that would make it perfect. Can you please add a RED PROGRESS BAR at the bottom of the PIP box. For example, there is an "Enhancer for YouTube" addon PIP (not a regular PIP, but other type of PIP that pops up when scrolling down to comments section) which has that and it's very useful (please see attachment). And if that feature is added, the ideal and logical design would be to show the "red progress bar" while hovering over the PIP box, not an always-showing feature, just like a YouTube video red progress bar works.

Thank you, Arthur

Hi, Am backing up a laptop that needs to go overnight to a repair shop and want to wipe it clean for privacy. Will the passwords saved by firefox be saved in the backup as well?

I've also downloaded them to a csv file as an additional precaution, but have no idea how to reload them into 'saved passwords' after the repairs are complete, as no option is provided for that - only the option to import from another browser... Thanks for your help!

PS: also, why does mozilla require a manual login to this support forum when my login is saved in it's own password saver?? It is not auto-filling it as expected.

Hi there,

Over the last two (or more?) years I have noticed a recurring problem with Firefox for Windows 10 64 bit and Windows 11 64 bit. It happens on at least three different Intel i7 computers that I have. I always keep firefox up to date with its auto-updates.

The problem is that all webpages and web content will stop loading in all tabs and windows of Firefox until I fully quit and re-open Firefox. This includes links that I click on in existing web pages and new tabs where I enter a website address. When this problem occurs, I never get an error message saying that the website has failed to load. Instead, it will sit for minutes appearing to be loading, but nothing will ever load. During this time, other web browsers behave normally and demonstrate that I have a full internet connection.

This seems to happen once every one to four weeks or so. It also seems to happen shortly (within around 5 or 10 minutes) after resuming from hybrid sleep mode. Unfortunately, I've been lax in taking note of the exact details of the problem because I always assumed that someone on the development team was aware of the issue and working towards fixing it. After around one or two-ish(?) years of this happening and seeing it occur on different computers, I've now realized that it is worth reporting the issue and paying more attention to the details surrounding when it comes up. I will post back here the next time it happens with more details about the exact situation that played out. The only add-on that is consistently active across all the times I have seen this problem occur is LastPass.

Please let me know if this may be a known issue or if there is anything I should look out for or report.
