Making Duck Duck Go as default browser
For years my default browser was Duck Duck Go. Suddenly it has been replaced by Yahoo. How do I fix this and restore my browser and block Yahoo?

It is annoying that search executes immediately instead of triggering on enter keypress, especially when a web page is big. Is there any way to disable auto-search and trigger it only when you press enter?
If you want to understand better it's pretty similar to this VS Code issue.
Firefox ver. 125.0.2. The newly deployed Text Highlighting function is not working properly. Button of Text Highlighting is missing in PDF mode.

I have 3 computers (2 desktops, 1 laptop). I want to permanently delete approx 300 unused/unneeded passwords. I deleted them from computer #1, then logged out of Firefox. The new count was 346 passwords.
I went to the second computer, deleted approx the same number from computer #2. The new count was 324 passwords I returned to computer # 1 and logged back into Firefox.
Within a short time, computer #1 is at 759 passwords, and computer 2 is at 691 passwords.
How do I get the deletions to be permanent? It's the second pass at doing this and I'm FRUSTRATED.

Hello everyone,
since my last update (125.0.2 (64-bit)), an additional website always opens when I open a website in Firefox. This is called "Page load error" in the tab; the content of the page is as follows:
Error: Connection failed
An error occurred while connecting to 0.0.0.1.
The website may be temporarily unavailable, please try again later. If you are also unable to access another website, please check the network/Internet connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, please make sure that Firefox is allowed to access the Internet.
How can I prevent this additional page from opening?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Everything in the firefox browser looks like it was stretched it out in MSPaint, while my actual OS interface and every other app/software UI looks fine. I have tried simply restarting my computer, as well as every solution in the linked thread, as well as refreshing firefox, and uninstalling/reinstalling, which only served to mess up my shortcuts on the home page. To be clear:

Out of nowhere, my cursor speed in Firefox has slowed to a truly unusable crawl. I refreshed a page and it was suddenly inching along at worse than a snail's pace. I'm using a USB trackball mouse. This is only affecting Firefox; no other applications have this issue. Using Windows 10.
Here's what I've tried so far:
There was another question about this years ago, but the accepted answer about accidentally enabling a Windows accessibility feature doesn't say which feature it is or how to disable it (if that's indeed the case). The link also seems to redirect to a generic accessibility page.
Why do I get what is shown in the image when using: https://www.msn.com/en-us which is a secure url?
1. Why does Firefox insist on entering a password every time I send an email?
2. Why does the system save 2 copies of every email I send?
Dashlane extension does not start when i open Firefox, it can take 10 minutes before the icon activates. This doesn't happen with Chrome!

I've received my new PC and will be migrating from my old PC (Windows 10) to the new PC with Windows 11.
I use local folders in Thunderbird to keep various projects separate and more easy to manage. I have copied the current Thunderbird profile on to an external hard disk, I have found the location of the local folders and they reflect the structure in the Thunderbird screen I see. Thunderbird has been unstable for a few weeks so I would prefer a clean install but don't want to lose a lot of content that I still need.
1. Is there a way to copy over just the local folders, eg export them, rather than the whole profile? I deliberately haven't cleaned the server recently so that I can get back emails that still are in the in_tray but once they are in local folders they disappear from the Yahoo server. 2. Is there anything else significant I should be aware of before migrating? There is a backup on Mozilla but I prefer a clean install.
Thanks in advance,
Anne

Hi there,
I'm curious if it's possible to configure Firefox on your own to make it a portable browser. Specifically, I want to disable data encryption and machine ID checks. I know that some chromium-based browsers allow you to do this through specific switches that turn these features off, resulting in a fully portable browser. While I'm aware of third-party applications that offer ready-made solutions, I prefer not to use them for security reasons. I'd like to prepare my own version of Firefox.
I understand some may have security concerns, but I know what I'm doing. The files will be stored on an AES256 encrypted drive. Could anyone share insights or guides on how to achieve this with Firefox? Thanks a lot
PS.For those who might suggest using synchronization, I assume that, similar to Chromium, Firefox can't sync all plugin settings, and for me, plugins are essential—without them, it's not really a browser.
Hello
I would like to redirect the audio and video output in Firefox to a Bluetooth device. How do I do this?
Thanks a lot, Rolf

Many questions and answers I see regarding the sync function. I would like to know the depth of what Firefox does. I have multiple PC's and an Android. What is the depth of sync for extensions? Is it possible to have mirror images of the entire Firefox setup duplicated? It would be spectacular to move from one PC to the other and find that Firefox has the exact same setup.
