Contrast disappears when I klick 'Login' eg. on 'https://www.elektor.de/'; other browsers are ok. AdGuard on or off makes no difference. Kind Regards [removed email from public]

I have not been able to connect to www.paperbackswap.com for 2 days using Firefox. I get this message - The page isn’t redirecting properly-An error occurred during a connection to www.paperbackswap.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. This is a persistent problem happening every few days. I have sent messages before to PBS and Firefox with no response. I have cleared cookies and added PBS to Firefox as a site to always accept cookies. I can access the site using Chrome but I would prefer Firefox. Is there anything that can be done?

Hi Why is it everytime I download something it has to open in the Firefox browser to view? And why is this happening when I scan to my computer? I want things saved to my computer, like documents and scanned information?

Across the top of my screen every one of my tabs just reads DuckDuckGo.

Instead of having the DDG logo and then the search I entered when the new tab opened, there is now no way to see what is on the tab. Even when I hover over the tab it still just says DuckDuckGo.

When I click on the plus button to add a tab, the tab opens with a blank page, which is how I have it set up. The logo on the far left of the tab is for Firefox.

DuckDuckGo is my default search engine, so after I type something into the search bar at the top in Firefox, the results are displayed from DDG, and the tab changes from Firefox logo + "New tab" to DDG logo + "DuckDuckGo".

I realize Facebook doesn't have a spell check feature,but is there a way my browser, Firefox, which I already have spell check enabled can somehow spell check Facebook when I chat? Can someone help? Thank you.

I joined a couple facebook groups. Each offered a file tab with documents available for download.

I tried numerous times with firefox and it failed. Clicking the "Download" item on the ... menu caused the same files tab view and list to open in a new tab.

I hated to do it, but I dusted off M$ Internet Explorer, logged into FB and joined a group, clicked the Files tab, selected a file, clicked the 3 dots, menu popped up and I clicked "Download". Poof. The Save As popup appeared, the file was downloaded. Works as expected with IE.

Might there be a setting in FF that is blocking such downloads of PDF and .doc document files?

I just tried to open Firefox and got the message "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem". DO NOT redirect to this link

It is useless. I tried to restore 3953 items from a previous back up and received the message "Unable to process the backup file".

I am not interested in hearing how to prevent this problem in the future, because obviously creating backups do not work.

How do I check to see if the problem was caused by security software, even though I have not added anything?

1. I use a startpage called IGHome. That address is set as my default to open to. When it opens I notice that the address is not secure. When I add https:// in front of it, it does in-fact open, which is good. Even though I added that prefix to the address on the Internet Options page in my system, it still continues to open the old 'unsecured' way. I also cleaned IGHome out of my system before resaving it. Is there anyway to get my system to recognize the secure version? And, if I open any sites with passwords on the unsecured version, they DO open as secured so in reality I am still safe (even though my system is not opening the https site).

2. Also, on my IGHome page, there are 'Show Your History' and 'Show your Bookmarks' tabs at the top right in the toolbar. When I used to open them they would open almost flush right. Now they open almost in the center. Is there a way to make them open in their previous flush right location again?

Thank you in-advance for any time and assistance!

I've disabled all of my addons, cleared cache, and still youtube is broken for me. It works fine with Chrome still. Any ideas on how to fix? See attched screenshot.

On Weddnesday evening I switched on my desktop computer and was ligging into an on line drawing classsite which would give me access to a Class on Zoom when notification of an update for Firefox appeared on the screen. I think the message was that the update would be downloaded and then the computer would do a restart. I think the download occurred but not the restart. I was then logged onto the site and clicked to join the class. I was only on about 20 minutes as Zoom kept dropping outto the zoom login screen. After this happened about 5 times I gave up and switched the computer off. On Monday I logged onto aother zoom class via the came site and againthe Zoom class kept dropping me out to the login screen although a couple of times it went back in on its own. I have contacted the Zoom Help and seemed to be typing to a badly programmed AI robot and could not get it to understand I didn't want to know about setting up my mic and camera. Please be warned I'm retired and not good with electrons and IT speak etc.
