I am honestly in chock with Firefox's terrible decision of not providing any option for the user to delete downloaded files.

It is honestly amazing that they came up with such a terrible decision. My downloads folder is a complete mess now and there seems to be no way to fix this.

I don't understand why not just provide an option for the user to only open files. People should be able to choose their settings.

I refereed to this previous post and the solution there didn't work: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370409. By setting browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false.

Is there actually no way to only open files now?

If i move the directory to anywhere else it launches In the default location it wont launch - No errors - cannot launch in profile manager mode - cannot launch via cmd - cannot by going to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ and launching firefox.exe literally nothing happens

why firefox download site use a wrong certificate ? It's ridiculous, I have to download firefox installer by Chrome !

step 1: I choose the right installer (platform, language) in this page https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

step 2: and then I click "Download Now", browser jump to this download url: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/105.0.3/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%20105.0.3.exe

step 3: And then, Firefox won't download the file, complaining the wrong certificate

I am using Windows 10 x64 btw, I have no problem in installing the installer

How can I do a new install on a new computer so it will be exact same as my old computer. I don't want to have to try and get the same interface one setting at a time. Can I just copy the existing profile on my original computer to the new computers so everything is the same?

As the subject. For two weeks or more, we have had trouble downloading PDF files instead of opening them. My environment opens a lot of documents in FF every day. The "Ask to download or open files" option is enabled, the pdf files in the list are set to always open in FF. We are not making any changes to the settings. We have over 100 stations with almost the default firefox settings and one day something just changed. Restoring the opening of pdf files in FF is important to us, because downloading them slows down our work.

Auto-updated to v105 today (105.0.2 64-bit Windows 10) and all bookmarks were gone. Not just gone but the bookmark manager seems not to be rendering properly (see attached image where there should be at least some elements drawn). Additionally, neither the bookmarks nor history left pane show anything (second attachment).

The 105 update was applied this morning when first opening the browser. Profile folder -> bookmarkbackups shows a backup from just before the update. Bookmark library -> Restore gives that backup as an option, but restoring that backup has no effect (does nothing).

Exiting Firefox and manually moving places.sqlite to a backup location and then restarting also has no effect. places.sqlite is rebuilt but library -> restore still has no effect.

My computer crashed and I have to reinstall everything now. I was using Firefox 78 with Mac OS 10.11.6 el capitan. Please provide link to where I can download this version.

As someone who's fleeing the Chromium Manifest V3 initiation before January, I want to keep my passwords and bookmarks and not have to find them all manually again, am I able to migrate bookmarks and passwords from Chrome to Firefox?

I got my new Dell laptop and downloaded and installed Firefox on the windows 11 platform. I ran the F secure virus scan and it detected30 Malware files in one of the hidden files. F secure could not remove them so I had to delete the file manually. I like the browser but concerned of receiving malware in a brand new install. I am sending this from my old computer while the new one is downloading other programs.

I use both firefox and firefox dev edition. Deleted the dev edition and reinstalled the latest one, now i'm getting the error below on attachment. I did not just uninstall the dev edition but i manually cleaned the directorys: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Dev Edition C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Firefox still works but the new dev edition after fresh install doesn't

I lost all my bookmarks & saved logins . is there any way to get them back again ?

The 10/18/2022 update changed the theme and color settings for my browser. It is practically unusable. Attempts to use other themes do not solve the problem. Every web page I have used since the update is affected. Screen clip attached. Besides killing my productivity today, this change has made FF unusable! How Do I get this Reset to Prior State?

PS: Just now, I try to click the box for "Email me when someone answers the thread" and it will not mark the box.

I really really really hate firefox automatically downloading files without asking me. I just have to go and delete them all later which is a pain. How do I stop it from doing this? I can't find a way to do this. I have changed pdf setting to open in firefox but I cannot stop the download. Help. This is driving me crazy (or to another browser)
