You managed to change my password for accessing AMAZON to a very long password that has never worked so far for the last two months! So, I have been denied a site I use to use regularly and you still deny a human to ask for help, only your jog-related jargon!

I would hate to sue you but AMAZON may help me when they hear what you've done to me, and perhaps hundreds of other former customers.

So, help me get back to AMAZON today!

Why is something claiming to be McAfee telling my that my Firefox browser is infected? And it's showing me a renewal notice when I do not have McAfee. It's all very annoying. If I download a new Firefox will that fix it?

I have recently received a notice from Mozilla informing me that the Security Certificate for Firefox is set to expire, and if I do not update it, Firefox may develop issues and stop functioning. As I am not very tech savy, and do not understand the language, I do not know igf/how this will affect my system. It is set to update automatically. I have included a screenshot of the notice below. I keep the system simple, and do not use add-ons, etc. Can someone please explain what all this means in laymans terms?

Why does firefox insist on opening hot links in the same window?

No matter what I change in the Settings all of the hot links keep opening in the same window.

Have a new modem/router (Assis G34). Only getting 57.2 mps download and 9.6 mps upload. In trying to go to a website, it times out.

Tried Microsoft Edge. It worked OK when I wasn't using Firefox at the same time.

Planning to get a range extender. Is that the solution?

Hello,

We have set a fixed proxy in Firefox on our employees' notebooks. However, when the notebooks do not have a VPN connection to our network, the proxy cannot be reached. Firefox then disables the proxy after a short time. I found the setting network.proxy.failover_direct under about:config and thought that setting it to false would solve the problem. However, Firefox behaves the same way.

How can I prevent Firefox from accessing the internet except through the specified proxy?

Thank you.

I have two computers that I use at different times and for different reasons. I want the open tabs on them to be the same. I am signed in on both computers but there is no syncing happening, even when I go into the menu under my account. It says it's syncing, but it's not. When I try to "Add another device" the option of adding another computer is not given. I do not want to use the profile backup because I want to MERGE the two sets of open tabs between the computers, not overwrite one.

I am an academic. I use Canvas. When I am in Canvas and I try to open a document in it from Firefox, what I get are solid black pages. I do not have this problem with Canvas in Chrome or in Edge. I really don't want to use those Browsers. I actually have this problem with every PDF I try to open from all sites. This is a recent problem. But if I cannot correct it, I will have to use other Browsers.

Hello I am presently running OS10.9.5 on a MacMini from 2013 because there are some expensive programs on there that I will lose when I update the OS. I now know I need to do that regardless. My question is: What OS version should I upgrade to for a secure version of Firefox and, MOST IMPORTANTLY... will my Comcast email account and bookmarks be carried into the upgraded Firefox browser? Thanks. a concerned Gary Bellucci

I use the Zen browser and I can't use ctrl+shift+c to view the element, I deleted the shortcut specified in the settings for copying the page URL so that the inspector would work, but it doesn't work, although the correct shortcut is indicated when hovering, but it doesn't work

When my mouse hovers over a link or changes to a new page, the URL displays in the bottom right. This is a feature i like in theory, but the way it is executed, where it displays overlaid on top of the web page, makes reading the web page and interacting with buttons down there frustrating and damn near impossible. this is especially disruptive when using applications in the browser like excel.

where is the setting to make this not an overlay, but part of a separate, bottom bar what is NOT covering the web page?

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!
