How can I select an elliptic curves ? I mean, a P-256 of a P-385. Is there a turnaround on linux Ubuntu OpenSSL to impose an elliptic curve in the communication with the servers without to let the choice to the server priority ?

Thanks

I open PDF from my files system or an app (Zotero f.e.). I make annotations since the annotation tools in Firefox are nice. Just a few highlights, maybe comment, underlines, whatever. I want to save the file and quit Firefox.

BUT - Firefox doesn't automatically save the opened file but rather wants me to "save as" a new file to be downloaded and chosen to be saved somewhere specificaly. I cannot just "save", I have to "save as" like I would download or create a new file.

I don't want to create new downloaded file to save somewhere else. I want to save annotations and such changes directly to the original file so I can just hop in and out of the file when I want to continue reading or edit annotations f.e..

MS Edge let's you save the changes to the file right to the original file so you can just hit "save" (ctrl+s) and close the window.

Hopefuly my question for clarification is somewhat understandable.

Thank you for your time

I have a somewhat elderly version of Linux, which I cannot upgrade for a variety of reasons, using FF-55.0.3, which is "plugged in" to all the local audio-video libraries, but also runs a current Mozilla-128.0.3 binary, which cannot access those libraries. I use both on a regulat basis. Recently "55" lost history tracking and cannot make new bookmarks (however old boolmarks are still present). How can i restore 55's ability to track history and make new bookmarks without losing what's there? Is there a relevant variable or two in about:config I can reset?

My Laptop I only use once in a while because I am mostly at my desktop. When I didn't use the laptop for some time, I am logged out of ALL websites. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, eBay, Amazon, several smaller sites EVERYWHERE. It's like I am on a new install.

How do I stop that behavior? It's certainly not an issue of the websites because I am logged out consistently everywhere. Why is Firefox deleting the cookies even if they are infinite?

My laptop is secured, it has strong passwords and an encrypted harddisk.

Can't import ".p12" certificate in Firefox in Fedora 40, it fail with the message "unknown error". I can open it with the built-in tools as well with the Gnome certificate manager. I did try as well a different certificate with the same result. Both I can import in Chromium, installed as Flatpak.

I can install firefox in a 20.04 ubuntu image however I can't get the sound to come out to the host. I think it is because of these messages: oot@lnx01:/# firefox libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. [Child 8724, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: 7fdc1c636ee0 OpenCubeb() failed to init cubeb: file /build/firefox-kPTBHF/firefox-128.0+build2/dom/media/AudioStream.cpp:285

I am using the tainted nvidia driver on my host. Has anyone got this to work? I messed around by adding various mesa drivers to the image with no fix. Any suggestions? I am using the ppa version of firefox in the container.

Hello everyone, I am experiencing this issue since - I suppose - Firefox Sync existed. My main machine has - like any other machine I own - Firefox always up to date and a set of plugins like No-Script, an ad-blocker, a theme, GUI icon disposition and whatnot. When I install Firefox on a new device or machine and then proceed to sync them, I lost the theme across all my synced devices, ALL of the registered sites I have trained No-Script and the adblocker not to block and my GUI settings. In short every new machine with a fresh install and sync of Firefox will wipe and overwrite to its defaults any synced custom configuration I have. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you.

I use my laptop with a connected AOC ultrawide monitor as primary screen and I don’t mirror laptop screen. My system is running KDE NEON, everything updated. I have an issue when watching video in Firefox. As long as I’m watching a video on a website it works fine, but when I change the video to fullscreen the monitor just show a black screen without turning off. I tried to activate the laptop screen and it show the video I’m running in fullscreen, which should run on external monitor. So my question is, why does Firefox move the fullscreen video to the laptop screen when I don´t mirror the laptop screen to the primary screen? Hope someone can help me out.

If I click on a bookmark before my internet connection is established, I get page not found. Natural.

But if the connection establishes while on the error notice, the same bookmark gets the same unfound page. Refresh doesn't refresh. I have to go to another site or burn and start all over.

Same on Samsung Galaxy A34 and New Linux HP notebook.
