How can we change the default behavior for ETP? I do not want it automatically enabled on all of my tabs and windows by default. If I need it, I would like to set it myself. It's causing issues with visiting various websites and I'm also a web developer. It's a little annoying with this turned on all the time. How can we set the default to Off and not On?

Ever since the last update, an annoying "Thank you for loving Firefox" tab opens every time Firefox is started.

Please disable or provide a fix to remove this annoying tab to never open again once seen by the end user.

Could not find a resolution searching online or in Mozilla Community. Just others complaining.

Version of Firefox is 108.0.2 (64-bit).

Image attached of what is seen each time Firefox is started.

Thank you.

Hello. I have a problem. I'm a new macbook owner, installed firefox and I'm having trouble restoring tabs. I have the "open previous windows and tabs" option checked, and yet when I close firefox and go back in, it shows me the start page instead of what it was before closing. I don't know where to look for help and what the problem is. Regards

HTTP version confusion

Hi. I'm trying to surf to a website and I think I'm running into problems with HTTP versions.

The site is taliadinapoli.com. They sell pizza. When I try to get there from my computer (Windows 10, FF 108.0.2 64 bit) I get an HTTP 511 error. In fact, all the computers in my house - my wife's Mac and our tablets - get the error.

So I assumed it had something to do with my ISP.

But then I opened a virtual machine (Windows 7, FF 108.0.2 32 bit) and went to the site and it loaded fine. So it's not my ISP; it's something else.

I opened the developer tools and looked at the headers for the initial requests. The only difference I saw was that on my PC, where I get the 511 error, the header specifies HTTP 1.1. In the virtual machine, where the site loads, the header specifies HTTP 3.

So on my PC, in FF, I changed network.http.version to 3. That didn't help: the GET is still using 1.1 and getting a 511 error.

Then I looked at FF on my VM and saw that its network.http.version was also set to 1.1. And yet it's using HTTP 3 to access the site!

What's going on? How do I get FF to use HTTP 3?

Thank you.

Back when I used Chrome, there used to be an option when you could right-click a word and get an option in the context menu to "look up". In Firefox this doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a way to enable this? For those of you who don't know what feature I'm talking about, here's Apple's write up: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/look-up-words-mchl3983326c/10.14/mac/10.14

I've also included screenshots of the feature working in Chrome.

I recently installed windows on a new solid state hard drive, and did a fresh install of firefox, but I forgot to manually backup my bookmarks. The old install is still on the old windows hard drive, is there a way for me to move them onto the new install? I'd prefer to not have to rebuild the whole list from scratch!

Every day when I sign in to Firefox I receive this email message, and I don't know why. I have been signing into Firefox for a few years. I don't remember when this started and I'm not sure if this is just your way of authenticating that I am me or not. Please explain this email I receive from accounts@firefox.com. I have changed my password many times so that can't be it, at least I don't think that's it.

Thank you for your help Rhonda

How can I add a webpage shortcut to the FireFox home page in Windows 10? I just want to simply add a shortcut to a webpage that is currently not on the home page, in spite of having visited it several times. since the automatic adding of visited sites is not consistent (some sites do not show up on the home page no matter how often I visit them while others that I have visited once act like they are pinned, but they are not), I need to be able to add a website shortcut manually, and none of the help articles that I have found successfully do that. at least in my current version of Firefox, which is version 108.0.2 (64-bit).
