Today I noticed that my custom plugins are no longer working. I decided to try and re-install flash. I removed the plugins from the directory manually then started again. I downloaded the NPAPI version from adobe (pictured). I then extracted the files and copied the plugin (libflashplayer.so) to firefox's plugin path ($MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, which for me was /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins). I then restarted firefox. However, the shockwave flash plugin is not present in the plugins tab. This is odd as it was a couple of days ago before I redid this. Sites like newgrounds worked perfectly. Back when flash was working, I noticed on some sites that used html5, it would instead try to use flash. For a whille, the openh264 was stuck on "will be installed shortly." Now when I go to those sites, it will show the thumbnail, but not play. Youtube videos still work, however. In fact, it's really the only video site that still works. Was there a dramatic change in the past couple of days or something? I didn't even update firefox myself, this happened seemingly out of nowhere. I'll post my about:support data in the hopes that it might help? https://pastebin.com/6iHkwwjz I would post here, but it said it was too long... :/ According to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games in theory, it should still work. However, despite installing flash and restarting firefox... no shockwave flash plugin is present in about:plugins
Firefox won't start - No error message, UAC loop

I had a game freeze on me and the freeze was the kind that prevented me from accessing Task Manager to force end it. I executed a Sign Out from the Windows Security window since that always fixes the issue for me. Firefox was one of the programs running at the time that I forced the sign out. Upon signing back in, Firefox no longer loads. Execute the program, UAC pops up to ask if I am sure I want to run Firefox and I hit Yes. Instead of running, like it normally does, it prompts me with another UAC window. Hit yes, another UAC windows. No error messages, it just keeps throwing up new UAC prompts at me. I turn off the UAC and Firefox still doesn't open, but I can see in Task Manager that it keeps opening and closing instances of itself.
Restarted multiple times, didn't resolve the issue. Uninstalled it, no change. Uninstalled my antivirus since that was causing me some other issues, no change. Tried to run the profile manager and it goes into a UAC loop as well. Copied my profile, deleted the original, clean installed Firefox... no change.
I haven't been able to find any information at all about any similar issue anywhere, so I really don't know what else to do.

When I opened Firefox yesterday, a couple of my folders were in the wrong places on the sidebar. I thought maybe I'd moved them the night before when I was very tired, or maybe that they'd accidentally gotten moved when I tried to move something else during a short period of lag. This morning, however, I opened Firefox and found that there were even more mixed up bookmarks. I can figure out where they go and move them back, but this would be a real pain if it happened every day. Can anyone help?

I'm trying to switch to a new desktop. IT guy claimed to be a Firefox expert, but, when my password didn't work, he changed it without getting a recovery key. My old setup still exists on my old desktop and my laptop. Is there any way to save what's on either of those two computers so that I'm not starting from zero? I have literally been brought to tears at the thought of saving all those bookmarks and passwords manually. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

duplicate of /questions/1274577 thread.
When you move your mouse cursor on the tab area to select a tab, it happens quite often that the Mac menu bar opens automatically and covers the tab area, thus preventing you from opening the tab (see the screenshot).
This is a rather inconvenient issue with Firefox for Mac.
For example, in Chrome for Mac, there is a vertical gap on top of the tabs to avoid this effect - see the screenshot. Or in Safari, tabs are located below the address bar.
Is there any solution to the issue?

Hi
Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)
Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.
Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks Dave
How do I bypass HSTS on firefox for one specific site?

I have been trying to access www.cross-x.com/ for the past few days. Unfortunately, the certificate has expired and the site is using HSTS. If I want to access the site, I am forced to either change my computer time (and undergo all the nastiness associated with that), or use chrome with the --ignore-certificate-errors flag, which compromises my general security. Neither of these options are preferable. Is it possible to bypass HSTS for this site or will firefox force me to wait for the site admins to fix it (doubtful because the certificate expired in early October)? Is there a command line flag, or a patch to the source code that will permit this?

A red error message took over my page while I was online saying Mozilla has detected an attempt to use my password to get into my bank account but they weren’t successful. The message warned me I might have a virus or malware and posted a phone number to call right away. In the meantime my Mozilla crashed and I decided to exit rather than start it again. I did not call the number because I have no way to confirm if this is legitimate or a phishing ploy but there IS NO WAY TO CONTACT MOZILLA. Can someone please help me figure out what to do and what this is? Thank you.

Updating to Firefox 71.0 was a catastrophe. I lost all my open tags though RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION was enabled. I had quite a while, till I figured out how Firefox really does restore previous sessions. The lost tabs though were gone.
But one problem is remaining. I can not restore closed tabs with 71.0. Ctrl+shift+T does not work anymore.
How can I enable it again Or is there a new combination for it
For the past few days, randomly when I open a new tab, I get one or more popup windows asking me if I want to open popup.htm.
These do not appear to be coming from a website, but from within Firefox. Example screenshots below.
