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.

When using the official Firefox AI sidebar integration configured with Gemini, the user authentication status is not persistently maintained. Every time the sidebar is minimized/closed, or when switching within the sidebar interface (such as clicking away to view Chat History and returning), the session state is destroyed. The sidebar immediately defaults back to a generic splash page prompting the user to "Sign In" again, effectively breaking the seamless chat experience.

Hello everyone, I tried to open Firefox but it just didn't open. Nothing happens when I click on my desktop icon. Tried as administrator, nothing. Tried refreshing, nothing. Reinstalling, nothing. The closest I got was after reinstalling but I still can't open any website or setting inside of the browser. Tried flushing the dns and also nothing. Pretty much out of ideas so if anyone has some advice it would be great, I'm running a HP laptop with Windows 10. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Firefox keeps making me restart nearly every day. I had a form I was trying to fill out and because of the restart I lost it 4 times! How many updates are you doing "in the background" that opening a new tab tells me to restart and then I lose stuff. Surely you are not updating every day.

Hi, For a few weeks/months, connecting or disconnecting my Proton VPN makes Firefox not to browse. I must restart Firefox to be able to browse again. This problem does not reproduce every time, but it does multiple times a day. Are you aware of this problem? Thank you for any help. Regards, François

Constantly a doc, a video, a spread sheet will shrink and I'm typing and no data is being entered because the app has shrunk - and the data has to be re-entered. It's a big waste of time, effort.

I got up this morning and, boom, I am forced update Firefox. Lost everything: history, bookmarks, and passwords. It's suggestions are useless. I have gone to "profiles" (only 2 and none of my information is in either). I am living in Taiwan and half the time the help is in Chinese, which I cannot read. The loss of my information is devastating and I cannot find any real person to help me. There must be a way. Where do I find real help?

Ma banque, le crédit agricole, a modifié son site. Je suis obligé de taper mon identifiant, et de recommencer une deuxième fois pour y accéder. Fonctionnement OK avec Chrome et sur smartphone. Merci GD

I have found Manage Extensions to be useless. It should 1) show all extensions installed whether turned on or not, and 2) Include a toggle to pin/unpin the extension there, rather than users having to search for this. I don't know how to find installed extensions that are not turned on.

The Help says to use the Gear Icon next to the extension. I don't have a Gear icon. I have 3 dots and there is no way to pin/unpin or to change the order the pinned extension appears on the bar. I don't know how to change the order.

Nice-to-have: an option to put all extensions in one place, down the left side panel, rather than split between top and left panel.

By the way, I went to "Show details" below on this entry screen and the system threw out everything. I had to retype it all.

My Firefox program was recently re-installed by Dell. But it seems to be an older version and among other things I can't find my bookmark toolbar. So I'm hoping that updating Firefox will solver this problem.

Before when I was on 152.0.6, everything was working great and once I updated, tab dragging is disabled even though in about:config the value is set to true, meaning it should work. One thing is that if you drag it, there will be a white box for a split second then nothing, and it sometimes moves 1mm and then snaps back.

a,most weekly when I try to open a new tab I'm told an update started in the background and I need to restart firefox to continue working. I can't open any new tabs or go to a new website unless I restart. Is there a way to run updates on MY Schedule rather than having this happen. a notice that an update is ready to be installed rather than per-emotively just starting one would be polite and appreciated.. Just 'starting' it in the background without telling me makes you guys look like Microsoft rather than Mozilla.
