I save pictures from Facebook and X from mostly relatives. Right click>Save Image as. It defaults to "C:\Users\bradb\OneDrive\Desktop" no matter what I set as folder in Settings>Files and Applications. I don't use OneDrive and removed the App. That caused my desktop to have only one icon, the Recycle Bin. I cancelled sync. How do I get the default to be "C:\Users\bradb\Desktop".

    I really don't want to open File Explorer and work my way down to the OneDrive desktop folder every time to move the pictures to the proper storage folder on my NAS.

    I think a Windows update started this.

Hello, I clear my history, cookies etc quite often. However, this also clears my master password and I have to reenter it. Is there a way to clear all the junk but stay signed in with the master password? I have attached an image of how I have it configured. Thank you

I can open Firefox and it works fine on my (admin) user account, as it has for years.

Starting today, when my wife is logged in on her account/user on the Mac, when trying to open Firefox there is a prompt "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool" and requests the admin name and password. I authorized yes to install the helper tool, and then the Firefox icon bounces on the dock indefinitely and Firefox is "not responding" and never opens. If I force quit and try again, I get the same prompt to install the helper tool and the cycle begins again.

I think this started after I updated a BitWarden extension on Firefox on my wife's account, but not sure if that is what provoked the problem. The same Bitwarden extension exists on Firefox on the admin account, and that Firefox works fine.

What I have tried so far: Shut down all BitWarden apps. Refreshed Firefox on the admin account - which deletes the BitWarden extension. Moved Firefox to the trash. Restart the computer. Re-install Firefox from the admin account (Firefox again works just fine when admin is the user). But Firefox still does not work when another user (my wife) is on her account - same issue with asking to install a helper tool and Firefox never opens.

Any help is much appreciated.

Firefox version 132.0.1 Thunderbird version 128.4.0esr O/S: PCLinuxOS Debian Edition (Debian 12 Bookworm) with KDE 5

I am getting a "Click" sound effect when I click Menu Bar items in both Firefox and Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, Folders in Thunderbird and some other items in both. I can not find a way to turn it off. It does not happen in any other applications, including other web browsers that are forked from Firefox, so I think it is a Mozilla problem.

This is a relatively new installation that was set up copying settings from Firefox on Windows 10 using Firefox Sync. I did not copy anything from Windows Thunderbird because my email is IMAP which brings in everything from the server. I am not getting this clicking sound in Windows Firefox and Thunderbird.

I am GUESSING that the sound effect is due to an Accessibility setting that is buried somewhere, maybe in one of the text-based "about...." configuration files, but I don't know where to look. I have gone through the Linux KDE System Settings and the Settings in Firefox and Thunderbird several times trying to find it. I will note that I set up Firefox and Thunderbird in the same Linux distro on a laptop also using Firefox Sync and do not have this problem with the laptop. Can anyone tell me where to look to get rid of this irritating noise?

Thank You!

Several days ago I backed up my hard drive, preparing to upgrade from W10 to W11. The upgrade was very slow and took a lot of time. Also, when I began to use W11, many of the programs, including Firefox, were slow to load and slow to run. Finally, I decided to try a reinstall of W11, hoping for an improvement. For this second try, I decide to use the option that eliminated programs that, over the years, I had downloaded onto my computer, such as Adobe Reader, Glary Utilities, and Firefox. For whatever reason, this second installation of W11 took less time and programs like Adobe and Glary worked almost as well as before. (They performed a little better on W10.) But not Firefox! Firefox wouldn’t run at all. I then deleted Firefox, using Revo Uninstaller. My next step was to download another copy of Firefox, from the Mozilla website. The result was the error message I have seen on many postings on this website:

Profile Missing Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

As of this writing, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ leads to two folders, both dated 11/11/2024: 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020 and ru82tlj5.default-release, containing 97 items, files and folders, most – but not all - of the files dated 11/11/2024.

On my desktop is a folder Firefox Bookmarks. Inside is Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xh22l03a.Default User It contains 79 items, files and folders, mostly dated 7/16/2023

I have used Firefox for many years. It contains links to many handy and valuable websites. I hope that someone who has read this account will be able to direct me to a solution that will allow me to recover my previous Firefox and all the all the important information it contains. And, if that happens, then I will try to do something similar with my lost Thunderbird. Thanks for reading.

Hello everyone,

For some time, I have problems opening links in a new tabs (CTRL+click on link).

Whenever I try, the new tab opens but the web page would either not open at all or only partially. Examples: clicking link A while being on page B leads to C 1. A: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute

   B: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox/form
   C: Unable to connect

2. A: https://www.ebay.com/mye/myebay/watchlist

   B: https://www.ebay.com/?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5339064144&customid=ROWss&toolid=20012&mkevt=1
   C: Unable to connect

3. A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjTO1zeD6r0

   B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PIar7Fd7WM
   C: page opens, but in the video frame it says 'Video unavailable'

These problems do not appear, when I open links in the same tab. They also do not appear, when I open links in a new tab in another browser.

Thus, it must be some issue with Firefox' 'open in new tab'-function.

Any ideas what to do?

Cheers, Bart

Does Firefox for Desktop not have the option to install PWAs (Progressive Web App) natively, as a feature included in the browser, not requiring third-party extensions? If the answer is no, is it possible to implement this very important feature? Thanks.

A few days ago I did a deep clean of my computer. Since then, when I turn on my computer, all websites in the Firefox browser require a complicated login (e.g. Facebook), with confirmation on the phone. How to log in with a remembered password? Remembering your password via Facebook doesn't work

Starting from Firefox 132, HTTP sites cannot be loaded at all.

This is tested on a brand new installation of Firefox 132 without any profiles on Windows 11.

By research on doctorfmh.ch, message from Firefox : session is invalid With Safari, no problem. What to do to repair that ?

Hi I am becoming extremely exasperated with your system. It always updates when I am in the middle of something important which then means the pc is so slow its nearly impossible to use. I have already added extra memory, so what else can I do to prevent this interuption? Thanks

When browsing a website that uses persistent storage, Firefox pops up a prompt from the URL bar that says "Allow <site> to store data in persistent storage?"

How can I disable the prompt so it never pops up to ask me and automatically blocks everything?

I looked in settings and didn't find anything and didn't see anything in about:config that obviously controls this behaviour either.

I found a screenshot online of the prompt I'm talking about.

Thanks.
