Hello, I'm running FF v.46.0.1 (because I depend on the Tab Groups add-on that doesn't work with FF Quantum) on a Win. 7 pro PC. For many years I've had an RT bookmark tab (among many others) and the RT News add-on (scrolling list of all RT stories) that I've used frequently every day. Yesterday, upon booting up, when clicking on the RT tab I got only my blank (opening) page or the prior page I'd been on. RT wouldn't load. Similarly the 'News' add-on opened but displayed nothing. All my other bookmark tabs worked normally, I could access RT via IE (no tab groups of course). Trying different means (such as opening specific RT URLs I could sometimes access that URL but it would frequently go blank (as if FF was saying 'Opps, I let that one through by mistake') but couldn't open other RT pages from that one.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
How do I fix it?

Firefox 68, Win 7pro.
I can't rid Google search suggestio, they just will not turn off? In the older version I could apply this script in Adblock Plus [ https://google.com/extern-js/ ] to stop search suggestions - I cant get that to work with the FF68.
The only way to rid is to turn Java off in about:config. AND DO lets have a nice plain Theme for Firefox, this is one reason I am still using an outdated version Firefox 2 reloaded was a classic, we ALL don't want flashing bright designs.

from Security Now:-"You go to, in Firefox, go to Options in the browser's menu, scroll to the bottom of the first general page that is displayed, click on Settings there under Network Settings, and at the bottom of the dialog that pops up you'll find a checkbox: Enable DNS Over HTTPS. So you put a check in the box. And unless you have some reason for choosing some other DNS provider, you leave it set to Cloudflare, which Mozilla has established a relationship with for this purpose." This option is not there for me. My ISP is UK based. Is Mozilla not giving UK based users the option to use MoH?

For some reason I can't display the screenshot feature of Firefox. I am using the latest version 68 (64bit) on a Windows 7 prof. laptop. The feature works perfect on my home computer but not on the laptop where it does not show at all. Clicking on the tree dots there is no option for the Screenshots. Checking the about:config page, the settings look ok, but still no option in the menu. I have tried to fresh reinstall Firefox to no avail. The problem persists.
Any ideas?

I've sent emails back and forth with someone several time. The last time I added a few lines of information, no links, and tried to send it back. It gave me the warning that it looks like spam and wouldn't send it. I copied and pasted the entire body of the email into a new email, put in the same recipient's address, and it sent. This has happened several times. Why does it happen,? Is there a setting to turn off this warning? Thanks
Firefox won't let me drag-and-drop files from automatically-opened .zip archives into Windows Explorer

I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit (fully updated) and Firefox 68.0 64-bit.
The problem is that when I download any .zip archive and tell Firefox to "Open with... 7-Zip File Manager" (or with Windows Explorer), after the archive has finished downloading and opened in a 7-Zip window (or an Explorer window), I cannot drag-and-drop the file contained in the archive onto a Windows Explorer window or the desktop. No matter where I try to drag the file to, the Windows mouse cursor is always a "cancel" icon and won't let me drop it anywhere.
If I then close the archive window and reopen it from the download folder (C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp), now I can drag-and-drop correctly.
I know that this is a problem with Firefox, because if I try the same operation with the same .zip archive using the current version of Tor Browser (8.5.4 32-bit (based on Mozilla Firefox 60.8.0esr)) or with Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.19399) I do not have this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
How to quickly delete an entry from the address bar after the latest update?

Before I could use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-websites-address-bar-suggestions#w_clearing-a-single-item-from-the-address-bar-history to do so, but today it doesn't work. Clicking the Delete button when trying this does nothing now at best, and at worst makes it so that I am only searching for the current address and hides everything else unrelated to that.
Firefox top sites just went blank a couple weeks ago, even reinstalling didn't help.
Have tried everything I could think of or find, including disabling addons. Won't even let me add a top site manually.

I started the thread 'Created New Firefox Account Instead of Linking Old Mozilla Account-What Steps To Take?' with the username Beano100 and Cor-el was assisting me.
While signed into my new Firefox account, I added a secondary email account and changed it to my primary email address but am now locked out of my new Firefox account even though the verification code is accurate.
I am going to keep this old account (Buddy2014) that I am currently signed into but can a moderator delete the new Beano100 Firefox account (and let me know when that has been done) so that I can start over again?
After the new Firefox account has been deleted, I would like a step by step explanation of how to link this old account to a new account.

When I use Firefox to view web pages that include Apple Maps, this sends my monitor to sleep (simple message "Attention Entering Sleep mode" then screen goes black). There seems no way out of this except to switch off the PC and reboot. This only happens in normal mode, web pages display normally in Safe Mode. Tried Refreshing Firefox, disabling all Plugins, disabling hardware acceleration; I have no Themes or Extensions; new Profile - none make any difference. When the map starts to load, it gets to the point where text (i.e. place names) are rendered but the text is garbled and then the monitor goes to sleep. Any ideas anything else I can try? Can I somehow debug the rendering of the map? Or am I resigned to always using Firefox in Safe Mode - does this matter anyway? Thanking you for any suggestions.
Why does switching tabs lose focus, Or, switching to a tab, loses the previous focus

An example of my problem.
In Firefox I have 2 tabs open to a search engine, DuckDuckGo or Google for example In Tab 1 I type "hello" in the search box but do not hit <ENTER>, the text box has focus.
I then switch to Tab 2 and type "hello" in the search box but do not hit <ENTER>, the text box has focus. I switch back to Tab 1, the text box has lost focus. I type characters and they go into space. I have to click on the box before entering text.
Under IE, switching tabs back and forth does not lose focus on the text boxes. I can switch into a tab and resume typing where I left off. This is the behavior I expect and want.
Firefox 68.0 and Win 7 64 bit.
This is a problem for me since I often leave a tab open to a search engine, while working in another tab. If I want to check something I go to another tab and have to click on the text box again to get focus and be able to type.
A coworker tried it on Chrome and it worked like Firefox.
Is there some reason for this? Please don't say it's a bug in IE.
Thanks,
Ed

In my workplace, we have to use our own dns serveur to add local domains. I occasionally saw some problem on resolving local domain even when nslookup or another browser works fine, on windows 7 or mac os X. So, what if firefox has his own dns resolver (is there ? i know it's in the plan for the DoH upgrade), or is there a parameter i can set up to force one dns resolver ?

A few years ago my user name and password appeared in a popup box when I entered the local auction site and I only had to click on it to log into the site. This was quite useful but it disappeared and I had to manually enter them. I understood at the time this was due to security concerns. After the last Windows7/Mozilla updates this facility has reappeared. Is this due to changes in the Firefox browser or to the Windows update? Is this safe? Thanks, Alan
