I just installed mint 18.3 and I'm still pretty green. I know there's a solution but I can't understand it.
_______________________ Enable touchscreen gestures
Make sure dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled is either set to 1 (enabled) or 2 (default, auto-detect).
Add MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 DEFAULT=1 to /etc/security/pam_env.conf and then logout or reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

I'd like to know what this means (sorry for being dum), otherwise I wouldn't mind waiting if there's plans to add scrolling in future updates.

This has been asked elsewhere on the Mozilla forum and no suitable solution was provided so I am going to ask again.
Firefox, despite 20+ attempts to set Preview as the default image viewer using (Get info -> Open with -> Preview -> Change all), resets itself as the default image viewer. Unlike with the other user, who reported it happening only when he/she dragged photos from Firefox to desktop, this happens ALL THE TIME, unpredictably for me. It is exceedingly annoying and I am thinking of getting rid of Firefox from my Mac entirely.
Any suggestions/fixes would be much appreciated.
Thanks, GES

I miss Firefox's ability to save a bookmark to a previously used folder. I realize that this was never supported by the base version of Firefox, however, it was possible to accomplish through add-ons. For example, if I save a bookmark to the folder "Music", then the next time I bookmark a page it should choose "Music" as the default choice; both when using the Star icon to bookmark a page, or when using the Crtl+D shortcut.
Roughly 2-3 years ago this was able to be done using add-ons. However, since those add-ons have become legacy extensions no developer has come forward with an add-on that accomplishes this feature.
If this was enabled it would save both myself and others a lot of time. At the moment, if I wanted to bookmark a bunch of tabs that are all related while doing research, I would need to click the star icon, move my mouse down and then select the recently used folder. That is a lot more steps then simply clicking the star icon and being done.
Bookmarking a page with this method takes about 3 seconds for each tab if I am bookmarking a bunch of tabs in a row. On the other hand, if the browser remembered my previously bookmarked folder then it would only take about 1 second per tab (This was tested using Chrome as the test browser since it has this feature enabled by default).
By allowing the browser to remember what folder I bookmarked to last, it would save me a good amount of time since I could move my mouse less per tab while bookmarking pages.
Being able to accomplish the same task in roughly a third of the time is pretty important and is substantial enough of a difference that I would consider using a different browser in order to increase my productivity.

When I visit the Mozilla Support website (or any other website) in order to sign in using my credentials, RoboForm pops-up and allows me to click on a button in order to fill my credentials.
However, when I visit the Mozilla Support website using FireFox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit), RoboForm does not pop. Please note that when I visit the Mozilla Support website using any other browser (even Internet Explorer), RoboForm works as expected.
Another interesting fact is that RoboForm works equally well with FireFox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit) on any other website, except of course on the Mozilla Support website as I mentioned earlier.
I have not logged-in in Mozilla Support for some time, so I cannot tell how long this is happening.
I would be much obliged if you could lend a helping hand.

I have many, many bookmark - all the the toolbar folder. Most of them sync, but a few folders won't for some reason. "Sync now" seems to have no effect.
I used to use Xmarks, and Xmarks had a lot more control over syncing. You could force upload (overwrite server) and force download (overwrite local), for one thing - that could often be used to fix sync issues. You could also view your server bookmark list online (via web).
How can I troubleshoot this? Or how can I force a sync?

First of all, the question-topic "How can I allow cookies for only my specified sites?" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976723) has been closed by accepting a solution that is **irrelevant**: It suggest to just Allow Cookies in the Privacy page, which is quite a commonplace! The restriction "only my specified sites" has been totally ignored! So, I had to rephrase and post the question, hoping that this time I will get a better response.
The problem is that when one allows cookies in general, independently of the "Always", "From Visited" and "Never" options, all the sites opened at that time in other Tags will also place their cookies, independently of whether they are "in focus" (i.e. their Tag is selected for viewing) or not. I have established this.
I have searched for an add-on that can handle this but I have not found any. Almost all of the add-ons on cookies are for "self-destroyed" cookies and destroying cookies after FF terminates (which can be done by using the "Clear history ..." option or cookie manages for editing deleting etc. cookies?
I can give an example of what I am talking about: "Adblock Plus" add-on allows you to disable blocking for the currently visited site. Does anyone know of a add-on for cookies or any other way to achieve the same effect?
