I'm having a problem where on a default installation of firefox (on linux mint 21) where Settings > Privacy & Security > History is always set to "Use custom settings for history" when I restart firefox. This is a default installation. Even if I do the folowing...

1 Close firefox 2 Remove the /home/myname/.mozilla folder 3 Start firefox and change Privacy & Security > History to "Remember history" 4 Close and restart firefox

The Settings > Privacy & Security > History is always reset to "Use custom settings for history" even on a DEFAULT install. I realize that this is because there is a history/cookie setting that is NOT the default, but I didn't set any non-defaults. This is a default installation with a brand new profile. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Have been using Firefox for many years with no issues , very happy. Recently i've just starting having trouble playing video on youtube and audio from some sources. wondering if there is a possible problem with the most recent update to vers. 128 as the timeframe seems to jive. when starting a youtube vid. i get a message saying if video doesn't play try restarting your computer. at first this seemed to work but has been getting progressively worse to where multiple restarts do not work. If i switch to a different browser , no problem , everything plays fine , however i do not want to switch permanently to a different browser. Prefer to continue with FireFox

I have been using FF for years and now they have changed by adding a Search DDG bar in the menu bar. I use the customize menu/tool bar to add things I use daily. The Search bar For DDG takes uo the room for customized icons and are displaced by this search bar. Why can't we change this as a search bar above the menu bar???

So I was trying to test webauthn so I went to webauthn.io and then signed up with my username but firefox then tells me touch your security key to continue with webauthn.io but it works very well google chrome. and shows me a qr code and then I scan it in my phone. And after some search I think that the problem is that firefox defaults to use the security key which is a physical device but i don't want to use it I want to get the QR code. Also I tried different websites but got the same problem.

And by the way I use arch linux but I don't think that the problem is with arch as I mentioned before everything worked very well in google chrome.

I can open Firefox. Data does not display when I hover over an area. Example would be in an active area where I should be able to perform an option. Like sending answers on a survey or authorizing a money transfer from a bank. On Facebook messenger, I type a remark & it disappears. It's there if I use my I phone or go to Edge. I know that the box is there & if I scoot the mouse around, I'll usually find the send area. I uninstalled Firefox & reinstalled it. All that did was mess up my saved stuff which I had to fix. This is using my Surface Pro. No one seems to have an answer as yet.

I took no action to refresh or change my Firefox settings before saved passwords disappeared. Bookmarks and history are intact. I checked the data in profiles and the only json file listed is within profiles:default release. Within this, root directory shows logins.json1.corrupt five times for 18th July. There is a logins.backup file added on 19th July. Can I use this to restore my passwords?

When I go into extensions and click the "Add to Firefox" button it just sits there doing nothing but the side to side motion and the addon does not get added. Looked at other suggestions and java script is enabled.

To be clear nothing is happen other than the side to side on the button, I don't get the option to download anything either.
