I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Updating to version 98.0 onwards Firefox has started saving a copy of every pdf file I view (open) in my downloads folder.

My settings have not changed:

Tools->Settings->General->Applications: - pdf (application/download): Always ask - pdf (application/force-download): Always ask - pdf (application/pdf): Use Adobe Acrobat DC - pdf (application/x-download): Always ask

And when the "ask" dialog pops up, I choose "open".

I have tried all standard methods/troubleshooting, including resetting the handlers.json file.

The only way to avoid getting a copy in the downloads folder is if I choose "Open in Firefox" (application/pdf) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat DC".

Any solution to this?

Thanks Michael

The behavior of FireFox saving PDF files has changed. I am using WIN10, FireFox 98.0.1 and have it setup to use windows default application and always ask where to save for PDFs.

BEFORE the problem: The PDF opens in Acrobat Pro IX. After clicking save I would be asked, where to save. I select the location to save the PDF. Then after this, subsequent PDFs downloaded would be saved to the last saved location. This process would repeat for a new website PDF load and save. This is the behavior I want now.

NOW with the problem: The PDF opens in Acrobat Pro IX. 1. Immediately, after a reboot, the save icon on Adobe is grayed out. I select save as and point to the desired directory. 2. For any subsequent PDF opened, the Adobe save icon is available. Files are saved to the desktop.

Please note I believe I once did get a popup asking where to save and I know I selected desktop.  Since that selection I am no longer asked where to save.

Please note I have looked and tried some of the suggestions at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files#w_choose-a-different-download-folder

but some of this advice needs to be updated for the new FireFox version--ex no JSON file is found at the file location covered in the advice.

I believe this issue started after the last FireFox update. Please help me restore behavior listed above under “BEFORE the problem”. Thanks.

The Send Tab/Link to Device feature only works in one direction, from iOS to MacOS. iOS to iOS never receives, although the popup says it sent. I'm using Firefox 98 on MacOS and iOS. I have a Windows 10 PC which can't receive or send tabs/links as well but I'll limit it to the Apple devices for the moment.

Sync and notifications are enabled on Laptop, iPhone, and iPad. I've de-synced and re-synced each device separately and together. I've attempted to send between each device separately and all together.

Neither iOS device can receive tabs/links from one another, nor send to each other. Laptop can receive tabs/links from both iPhone and iPad, but not send to either.

Each time I re-sync an iOS device I get a notification on the Laptop saying that "this computer is now connected with Firefox iOS". But still nothing works.

FIREFOX SAYS: 1. Launch a Firefox browsing session. 2. Click the orange Firefox tab at the top-left corner of the window. 3. Click Options at the left side of the menu, then click the Menu Bar option.

I SAY: There is no orange Firefox tab at the top left corner I see "Options" nowhere on Firefox.

I have Windows 11, if that means anything.

Please tell me how to get to "options" so I can make desired changes.

Why can't I access with my Nord VPN. I used to be able to without a problem. Now when I sign on to my VPN I receive the following:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://start.att.net/" on this server.

Please help

Hello, Heritage Auction site was hit by a ransomware attack last year and their landing page of www.ha.com was down for some time. They were able to restore their site but FireFox is not allowing me to go to the site any longer. I have to load Edge and go to the site from that browser, which is really annoying. I have tried clearing cookies and cache to no avail, Firefox will not allow me to land at www.ha.com. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

For over a decade I've used FF, and when I download things (99% of the time from Yahoo) I set FF to "always ask" what to do with downloads. Suddenly that changed and it started downloading everything automatically to the Download Folder.

I went to options and changed everything back to "always ask."

FF does always ask... but... it ALSO still auto downloads to the Downloads Folder now.

And I can't figure out how to stop that.

Any help is appreciated.

When I click to open a link for a jpg file, it now prompts me to save, instead of opening. How can I go back to it just opening? Downloads are already set to ask how. PDF asks how, other files don't.

hello, why have you removed Yandex and Mail.ru as optional search providers in the drop-down search menu in Firefox. Are you mixing with politics? I thought Mozilla was independant from political pressure groups? If that's the case you have really deceived me ...

How can I transfer the logins file from an old profile to a new one? When I search online all I get is references for transferring Firefox folders to another computer. Any help gratefully appreciated.

I am repeatedly getting the SECURE CONNECTION FAILED error only for Google-related sites like Youtube, Gmail and Google search. I've to then close Firefox and immediately open it again to see those sites again.

This is the Error: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. SSL peer was not expecting a handshake message it received. Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_UNEXPECTED_ALERT

&

"Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. PR_CONNECT_ABORTED_ERROR"

FYKI, the problem started occurring in November, 2021. It had never happened before. I repeat, this error is occuring only for Google-related sites, not for others.

What could be the problem? Please help!

LibreOffice error: LibreOffice requires a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart LibreOffice. https://hub.libreoffice.org/InstallJava/?LOlocale=en-US

I found nothing in FF extensions add-ons to facilitate this program/app. FF won't work with JAVA files but they provided no alternative. LibreOffice is the only free Office-like program/app. that is currently up and working today that I can find on any list I've pulled via browser on the first page or two.

It is so confusing to go to Edge or Chrome to use it - and hard to move things from FF over to Edge to get to LibreOffice - can't follow what I'm doing that way. I want to use FF. I feel safer there.

I don't trust downloading from random sites. Bait and switch for files. Malware. If there are is a trust-worthing d/l workaround pls tell me. I;m not up on them - not in the loop.

I need assistive technology really - this is just a start for me to get organized. You can give me advise on what keeps you swift and organized if you can too. Appreciate that much too. Thanks for any help.

I moved my computer from NM (Mountain Time) to VA (Eastern Time). Windows has reset to ET. The computer is ET, but anything in Firefox is two hours off. My incoming emails (outlook.com) are all timestamped two hours earlier than reality. Items in website (Google) calendars all disappear two hours early, though I have reset my Google calendar to ET. How can I reset Firefox to my current time zone?

I've always used Firefox browser instead of Microsoft Edge, and I would like to continue using Firefox. However, it will not run in its current form under Windows 11. Does Mozilla plan to keep it compatible with Windows? I would like to keep using Firefox.

I don't need any images, you know the problems ... Freezes, no internet access.
