I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

windows 10..(#$$%^%^&^%)..need to set firefox as default browser...have been trying for over 2 hrs and still no results...is there a human being that I can call to get help...PLEASE

How do I stop Firefox from signing me out of social media and similar sites so that i have to sign in every morning. For years, My sign in to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LInkedIn in particular have not required daily signing in. It is a pain to have to it every day.

Hi Team,

Really need help. Every time I try to search for a word, a single word in the address bar, the moment I hit <enter>, I not only get the desired search engine results but also do get an annoying URL-suggestion pop-up strip in the browser, just below the bookmark bar which basically suggestions a URL for that word.

ex. If I search for a single word like: "Nasdaq", I get a pop-up strip below the book-mark bar asking me if I was searching for "www.nasdaq.com"?

This has become real annoying now as I use the browser on my office machine. Your kind suggestions on how to get rid of this browser behavior will be extremely helpful.

My preference constantly changes the homepage and new windows. I want Google.com to be the home page. I change the preference and it changes to something else after a few days. How do I make my preference permanent?

MacBookPro OS High Sierra

Firefox 86.0.1

My current homepage is www.google.com. I would like to permanently set the default language to English (US) and have any homepage start in English (US) when I start the browser.

There have been times when I think that an outside source is directing my computer to places I don't want it to go. There are also times when a link within a news site will not go to the news story I expect it to go. There are other times when my screen saver has been removed and just the blue Windows default screen is there. I have to go into [Control Panel] and re-select the picture file I wish it to draw images from for display. There are other anomalies too that seem to be not of my doing. These are all recent, within a couple of months. I use Avast Virus software and Malwarebytes software too. Also, as of two days ago there are ads popping up on every news site I watch. I did have an ad blocker program running but it would appear to not be working.

However, that statement 'Your browser is being managed by your organization.' is making me concerned. Can you explain statement that to me?

Also, while I'm here I have another question. I have been using Firefox since the end of Netscape Navigator and once upon a time any desktop shortcut icons were all Firefox's icon. Then for years they turned into Internet Explorer icons. When I clicked on the shortcuts Explorer would open and I don't like that program. So now I click on an icon's [Properties] and copy the url and paste it into Firefox's search window. But within the last month the icons are now Google's Chrome image. I don't understand why, if Firefox is my default browser, these icon changes occur. And why Chrome? Is it because I have Google's search engine as the default search engine?

I appreciate any help you can provide to me. Thanks!

I frequently use Amazon, but it shows up on my New Tab page as @amazon with a search icon, and when I click the tile it opens my search/address bar. How do I get the tile to open Amazon's website like all the other tiles I have on my New Tab page?

Alternatively, the way I've previously handled this "behavior" is dismissing the tile so I don't have to deal with its uselessness. My browser just updated, but why do I have to dismiss the tile a second time?

Is there a way to assign a name or alias to websites listed in the Logins & Passwords manager? I'm helping my dad set up an account for billpay for company A who uses Company B to provide the payment functionality. The problem is Company B's URL has no reference to Company A at all and that's where the login and pw are configured. My dad won't know to look for Company B's URL in Logins & Passwords. Heck, it took me awhile to figure out the credentials were saved under Company B; I kept searching for Company A. It would make life much easier if I could alias company B's URL or add a keyword to it. Thanks for any assistance.

Autofill offers mistake I made as selection options, along with the correct one. How do I delete these? I have deleted all logon entries in the passwords area for the site, logged on again, and they are still offered.

My Firefox version is 78.9.0esr (Mac). I don't have the fastest bandwidth (like many peiople outside large cities). How can I turn off images, but still easily view them when I want?

Recently, Firefox started to place the box you see below over my screen when I played audio. I looked up the problem and was able to disable the feature by setting media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled = false. Now audio from other tabs doesn't cause the box to appear and block the screen, however it still appears when Spotify is running. How can I stop this happening?

So I was on a theme spree trying to find something that fit my tastes better before deciding I would opt for the custom CSS Firefox route, however, I added Dolan's Dynamic theme (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dolans-dynamic-theme/) and when I tried testing it on other sites I came to realize it was not actually dynamic and decided to use a different theme. However, even after a complete browser refresh/clean-up, as well as a fresh installation of Firefox, my browser still reverts to the light / dynamic theme when I click out of the Add-Ons page. I will disable and remove all added themes and select the default and it will take effect on my browser, however when I ctrl+t or click new tab my browser reverts back to the light / dynamic theme.

Really upsetting seeing as I can't stand light themes and I prefer using Firefox for my web development work however now Firefox is sidelined for Chrome (which I cannot stand using). Any and all help or input will be appreciated and if I can provide anything else to help I will gladly do so.

It seems that there isn't an add on out there for Firefox that mimics the download status bar like in Chrome-based browsers. Not one of them are able to open files from the status bar. All of them open a window for what ever reason. Is it because bad coding on the add on dev part, or is this a limitation of Firefox itself. If it is the former, where can I start and work backwards to make one myself. If it is the later, will this ever be a feature?

How do I remove the "email image..." option from the context menu? There are some technical solutions people are posting that involve a lot of editing and I don't really understand them at all.

There are also some links to extensions that have been since removed.

Although I use dark mode on my mac, I have firefox set to light mode theme, which pretty much works for the tabs and such. However, when I go into Preferences, the theme is dark and, for instance, if I want to search my cookies/cache to specifically remove some of them, the black font on top of the black entry field makes it impossible to see what I am typing. Is there any fix for this?
