When I open my youTube home in Firefox browser is completely blank nothind is showing I don't have this problem in other browser. I have tried in the settings to turn the history on and off but nothing has changed.

I used to be able to press Enter in the empty Firefox search bar to bring up the (DuckDuckGo) search page and enter my search from there. Don't ask me why I like doing that, but now after the latest Firefox update, 128.0, on my MacBook Air I can't do that anymore. I have to type in the search bar to bring up the search page.

I know it's a small thing but I wonder if it can be put back to the way it used to be.

Here is the translation:

After updating Firefox, the saved passwords are stored and displayed incorrectly. I am attaching a photo to illustrate the issue. Instead of email account names and passwords, I see the text "MEIEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...".

As shown in the picture, the username is replaced with this text for the login examples of accounts on home.pl.link text

I support my organisation's fleet of Windows computers, and historically we have automatically deployed the 32bit version of Firefox onto these devices. I would like to migrate all instances of Firefox to 64bit, but have found that installing 64bit Firefox on a device that already has 32bit Firefox dies not remove the 32bit version form C:\Program Files (x86)\ and just installs the new 64bit version into C:\Program Files\. This causes either the 64bit version to launch with no user profile loaded, or the user receives a message that they are launching an older version of Firefox. We can easily automate the uninstallation of 32bit Firefox during the install, but is there a way that we can programmatically load the users existing Firefox profile into the newly installed 64bit version of Firefox? I will be deploying the installation to around 7,500 computers, so a manual work-around isn't an option.

On a website I sometimes visit, I will occasionally upload images to share. Recently, I was using network access to upload images from a different computer, but that machine started acting up, and so Firefox tries to re-open the shared folder I was using on that other machine if I try to upload a file and cannot connect, so the file selection doesn't show up and I cannot use any other controls, just get the error SFX instead and I have to restart Firefox by closing it using Task Manager in order to restore function. How do I reset what folder it tries to open for file upload so it does not try to open that inaccessible network folder? It softlocks every time now.

Under Privacy and Security, Version 128.0 deleted the radio box allowing us to Clear History excepting Current Logins. Will my current email login now be deleted when I use the Clear History function?

I started using Chrome/Brave in order to be able to use profiles because I did not find that feature in Firefox. I really try to get away from google, so I searched extensively and found out: profiles do indeed exist as a feature in Firefox. My question now is: why are there no buttons or easily accessible settings (for example in connection with sync-settings) for using profiles and why does one need to type in strange things in the address bar to access the feature and even to start another instance of firefox with another profile?

My use case is this: I have a private profile, one for my job and one for union stuff which I don't want to mix into my job profile. Yet, on my home computer I'd like to have all three profiles running simultaneously. Sometimes one or more profiled windows have been closed down and I need to open a new window with a specific profile. I understand that I need to open a tab, type "about:profiles" and then scroll through a page with large amounts of techy information on all profiles and press the last one of four buttons under that profile.

I'm quite tech-savvy and typing "about:profiles" is doable for me, but it seems absurd, given that the feature is not sci-fi and is well visually accessible in other browsers (Chrome and Brave: rightclick on profilesymbol and choose from simple list).

I'm using a Macbook Pro with an external monitor. (I have "Stage Manager" turned off because that was causing weird delays when trying to click on a window behind another one to bring it forward. I only mention this because it means my desktop only has the system menu on my main monitor, the laptop.)

When I open a new window in Firefox, it continually opens the new window on the external display, which is not what I want. I would prefer that it open the new window on the monitor where the currently active window is located.

I read some posts about "dragging a window to the monitor you want to open new ones on, maximize, minimize, turn around three times" or something like that. Not only does that not work, other than maybe temporarily, it also seems silly.

Is there no way to reliably open new windows on the currently active monitor, or least the main one? Or any planned fixes related to this?

Thanks for your input.

How to I stop Account Control from asking me to approve FireFox every time I log in. I read the other threads in the community on this topic and they say to confirm Run as Administrator is turned off. Well it is OFF and I stilll have the issue. I'm on Win 10

The latest Firefox update has made it impossible for me to log into https://www.discover.com/ I consistently receive the following error message: "Your account cannot currently be accessed. Outdated browsers can expose your computer to security risks. To get the best experience on Discover.com, you may need to update your browser to the latest version and try again. For questions, please contact us at 1-800-347-7769. We're always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

Pop up blocker in the address bar has been manually turned off and antivirus VPN has been manually turned off. Discover has told me the problem is with the browser not their website. I can access the account via one of the less secure browsers (edge) but am not comfortable with that company and would prefer this glitch being fixed if possible. Firefox info is version 128.0 and it automatically updated earlier this week. Thank you. Enjoy your weekend. Laurie
