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.

For several days I'm not able to log in at Facebook. Without login I can easily open Facebook from results via Google searches. The problem are seen when I try to log in using latest Firefox. Can log in via Chrome and Edge. Tried to disable all extensions but the problem persist. Using Samsung Browser in tablet works fine as well.

See attachment, where error is illustrated. It says: This page is not avaible right now. It is caused by a technical issue and we are working on a solution. Try to reload the page

Hope for some help here....

Hello, I clicked on a vendor link with a email on Outlook webmail and was refused a connection. Not even given a choice to bypass it. This is a reputable vendor associated with my professional work. Please let me know a work around for this browser behavior.

I was able to login using my google acc some time ago but now when i try to login using google, it wont and just keeps buffering. this happens on every website i am trying to login using google.But when doing so on Chrome it works fine.

This question relates to version 134.0.2 (64-bit). This morning I started Firefox and found that many of my bookmarks were missing. On trying to restore from the program automatic backups, I get the repeated message "Unable to process the backup file." On examination, the files, while not in ASCII, appear to contain ASCII text strings recognizable from the bookmark descriptions. They are not, at least, empty. Unfortunately, I do not have an HTML format backup. Any idea why none of the backups work or what options I have? Thanks in advance.

I got a Firefox update recently and have not been able to access Flickr since then. I am getting a message that the page is not redirecting correctly. I am attaching the error message. I am running with standard firefox protection. I have cleared cache and cookies. I have also added Flickr as an exception to Firefox enhanced privacy tracking. Firefox is up to date (version 134.0.1 (64 bit)). Anyone else having this issue or know the solution?

I have two computers. Both sign into the same Firefox account. Both instances of Firefox are the same version (134.0.1 64-bit).

On my main computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the first image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-42-57.png)

On the other computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the second image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-43-57.png)

How to I get both instances of Firefox to do the same thing when creating a new tab, i.e. organize the recommendations like the second image?

I can only open 2 tabs while using my Seeking Alpha financial program on Firefox browser. If I try to open a 3rd tab the Seeking Alpha program will not open. This issue just started within the past few days and doesn't occur when using Seeking Alpha program on MS Edge browser. Hopefully you can fix this problem quickly otherwise I will have to start using Edge as my default browser.

Hello,

I am experiencing discoloration on the top left corner of my firefox browser theme when I am in "full screen view". The discoloration disappears when I exit from full screen mode to "window view". This discoloration is happening on every theme I enable. I have attached two pictures to show what I am seeing between the full screen view and window view.

I am running Windows 11 and have a 32" curved monitor. I searched for solutions such as disabling hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to be working.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,

My application has recently been incorrectly flagged as dangerous by Firefox when downloading from https://librelancer.net/downloads.html, particularly when downloading https://librelancer.net/builds/librelancer-sdk-daily-win64.zip

Checking the URL at google safebrowsing https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing seems to show a clean report.

Is there a way of submitting the file as a false positive, as it is affecting my users.

An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

why i see this

Every time I open a PDF I get this pop up blocker that covers the right side of the screen showing me how I can get "highlighting for PDF" with an animated felt tip sliding back and forth across the screen. I have Malwarebytes and other blockers but this appears to be something else. Please help.

I use Nordpass for automatic fill of passwords. Somehow, this no longer functions. THe automatic fill icons on the username/password boxes do not appear. How can I fix this ?
