I seem to be encountering various problems since the update to 73, the main one is the profile folder, I dislike the default location so have previously just put my preferred location in appdata\roaming\mozila\profiles.ini but 73 regularly ignores this and puts a basic profile in the default location and alters profile.ini. Using the profile manager does not get any better results. I am also having problems with the home page, I have set a custom page but 73 often resets this to a blank page or sometimes the default home page. I have had to resort to a 'portable' version as 73 constantly resetting things was getting so annoying but the portable does not work well as a default browser.

Ever since I updated to firefox 70, all of my desktop devices (windows, macos, and linux) firefox will ignore my theme and display look like the image attached. The top bar will be correct for my theme for a small moment and then it will turn white along with the firefox start search thing, the search thing will go back to dark but the top bar will stay white. This happens with any theme installed and with all themes uninstalled on every device. The only way to fix this is to go and enable some other theme and switch back to the theme I want.
I know it shows me using nightly, I installed it today to try fixing the issue but it doesnt. This happens in the standard version of firefox (72.0.1 current) and has happened on every update since v70.

Firefox cant handle flow player properly, buffering stops randomly and video restarts from beginning.

As title, this happens on certain streaming site using flow player & HLS, quite frequently with recent updates, on 3 laptops 4005u, 1 desktop i3 8100 and gtx1650 and intel compute stick 6y30, all windows 10 latest & Firefox 73(only ublock origin, no other addons). The stopping point changes randomly if I close and reopen Firefox. If I click just past the stopping point, it will continue to play, until the next stop and back to start again. Back then I used to blame the bad implement from host sites and/or bad connections, but for the last few days, out of curiosity, I tried chrome and did not get a single stop like Firefox. I also tested the same streaming link (m3u8) on VLC and it played perfectly. It was like that for a year or so and I didn't care much about it, but today marks the sad day when I realized it was just Firefox and developers just let it be, for such a long time. I appreciate any help configuring firefox to fix it, if possible, but this should not happen at default. For the time being, I jumped on the chrome boat despite being a Firefox fan from version 4 or so(2006). I used to pressure everyone I know into using firefox, now I feel bad about it. I hope Firefox get better soon.

I did an upgrade from WIn 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. I installed version 73.0 x64 version of Firefox. After the upgrade and installation of this version of Firefox I have observed that within Firefox the copy and paste, especially with images, is no longer functioning. It seems that it is not even putting it into the clipboard any longer as when I try to paste it into various other programs there is nothing to paste. This worked within Win 7 without any issues.
I have verified that this issue is specific to Firefox as I can use another less favorable browser, in my opinion, and the copy and paste works as it previously did within Firefox.

Dragging and dropping images from search engines (e.g DuckDuckGo/Google) will not work, once dropping an image on the desktop for example, the image just snaps back to Firefox and does not actually save. The workaround is to click the image again to view its direct link and then you can drag and drop again.

Здравствуйте, в разработке веб-страницы я использую сетку grid, и написании определенных параметров, при включении выбора элемента со страницы, браузер Firefox намертво зависает (хотя в других браузерах все нормально), в диспетчере задач браузера, вкладка просто пропадает, хотя если открыты вкладки других сайтов, они остаются в процессах. Проблема проверялась на разных компьютерах, в разных версиях и различных браузерах, и эта проблема наблюдается только в браузере Firefox.

I want one blank window when Firefox starts from a URL link on my computer, but I'm getting two blank windws. I have tried setting the preference to a URL, and that opens fine, but it still also opens a second window. I have tried disabling all extensions, but that didn't solve it.

Hello Firefox community,
As I realized some time ago, Firefox makes simulatneous requests againgst disk cache and network called "Race Cache With Network" (explained here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267945). In my home country, this has never bothered me as I had an unlimited data plan and therefore was pleased to get fast loading webpages.
But now, I moved to a country without unlimited data plans (Ghana, 40GB per month, 120GHC, approx. 20€, approx. 22USD) and I'm thinking about how this feature must be eating up peoples data. Because even if you visited a webpage before and most of data is within your disk cache, Firefox will still issue a network request, resulting in increased network activity and therefore consuming additional data.
In my opinion this adversely affects people in emerging countries, as internet is already a pricey good and Firefox is using more data than necessary, just to allow webpages to load fractions of seconds faster.
Why is there no UI option (I know it can be turned off, using config key "network.http.rcwn.enabled") for users to turn this feature off more easily in order to save data? Furthermore, this behaviour is not even explained to users, so users might not even know Firefox consumes more data than expected.
With best regards, Gabriel

I have Firefox 73 installed For Mac and I have Catalina 10.15.3 Installed. Firefox will not match the system Scheme (light or dark Auto).

Also does anyone know if Mozilla is working on Firefox support of Mac os Smart zoom?

This appears to be a specific issue when navigating from Rarbg.to to imdb, After loading any IMDB page from a rarbg.to page, left clicking on the parent's guide closes the tab. Steps to reproduce: 1) Load any rarbg.to entry (https://rarbg.to/torrent/gwy4p7f) 2) Using the middle mouse button, click on the imdb link to open this in a separate page. 3) on the imdb page scroll down to the parent's guide and left click on "View Content Advisory" 4) The tab with IMDb will close.
This happens on Windows and Linux too.
