Locking this thread, please continue here: [/questions/1461372]
I've been researching for a long time how it’s possible to save a website as a PDF with Firefox by keeping the hyperlinks active. The applications that Firefox offers are inadequate. This means that if I want to save pages on different sites outside of the web search, they are not saved correctly as PDFs. There are applications that also keep hyperlinks active, but with the problem that the scaling of a page no longer corresponds to what it actually has. Alternatively, reference is often made to other browsers such as Chrome or Opera. I know it's running there as it should be, but I want to keep using Firefox. When I search on YouTube I only find trivial things like how to save a PDF in general. I already know how to save PDFs in general, but it is explicitly possible that hyperlinks also remain active which seems like nobody is interested in. This is a major problem. I just don't understand why something as trivial as an A4 sized page of hyperlinks requires 7+ hours of fruitless research? It seems like I'm someone who's only interested in simply having an HTML to PDF with active hyperlinks. Do any of you have experience with this situation? I would like to mention that I also tried wkhtmltopdf. But the conversion with this tool is cumbersome and is no longer necessary for “just a quick save”. My question: How is it possible?

Some months back when I get gmail from the Economist and try to go to an article the gmail links to I get this: Our apologies. An error seems to have occurred. The article actually appears very briefly but then gets overwritten by this error message. I am using an up to date Windows 10 PC.

When I go to Microsoft Edge this behavior does not occur. In Firefox I have tried clearing the data and cache but to no avail.

Any thoughts on dealing with this? I do not want to go through many heroic steps to fix this.

We deploy Firefox via a software called Pulseway and last night it reinstalled Firefox over the current installation for one of our users. When he logged in this morning, all his data was missing from the browser as it appears to be a fresh installation. I'm unable to find his previous profile in the AppData folders (checked by going to about:profiles and opened each profile). There is no backup for this info, and he did not have a Sync account set up. Is there anywhere else I could possible recover this data for the user? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

Hello. Since re-installing ZoneAlarm Security Suite (due to a ZA problem) last evening, after I turned on my pc today I am getting a new tab opens up on every FireFox browser window seeking permissions for "Harmony Web Protection Privacy Policy". (There are four new tabs for that which have opened since I commenced typing this!).

Is this a ZA problem or a Firefox problem? Also, please, how do I get rid of these damned new tabs? TIA.

When I open up the Add-ons Manager it shows Window Titler is turned on. But Ctrl-Alt-T no longer works, there is no button showing for it, and it seems to be gone. A button for it does not appear in Customize Toolbar. It is the single most important reason I stay with Firefox. How do I get it to work again? Thoughts appreciated.

Since the latest firefox update, to clear history now, it has Clear site and download, saved form info, and searches all together now. There is no way to uncheck saved info and searches so that does not get cleared. Will there be a fix to this? There is no way to clear the history now without clearing the saved info and searches, which I do not want to do.

After my Windows 10 laptop being in sleep mode I found my background picture changed and all my Firefox tabs missing (while my bookmarks, add-ons, history etc. saved, and all other apps functioning properly). Recently Closed Windows menu was inactive and using Restore option in Library had no effect (despite availability of recent saves).

I found out that Mozilla folder was just missing in %appdata% (e.g. Profile Folder in about:support leaded to a non-existent directory). No manual changes to Firefox settings/data were made and no new profiles created.

What might be the problem and are there any ways to restore my tabs?

I have 6 websites that I currently cannot sign into using Firefox. Support tells me to use those two crap browsers Chrome and Edge. I end up using Edge because it is embedded in my computer and I cannot delete. I will not install Chrome and have put on Avast Secure Browser and CClean browser. Both are just Chrome with a new gooey. My Father is also having the same trouble. Most of the sites are for Utilities and rewards programs. Avast is also blocked. Are you aware and working on getting this fixed?

Hi, I used Firefox browser at work since it had the best add-in for tab groups (Simple Tab Groups). Unfortunately browser is not supported any more. Is there a portable version that can be run without installing, from Mozilla.

I read a post that indicated it was available from PortableApps, but am not conversant enough to know that it's 100% safe. Believe that it was able to be updated as well.
