I can't seem to figure this out on my own so i'm hoping someone here can help.

I have some unwanted emails showing up as suggested when i right click on a browser tab and select "share" and i don't know how to find where they are saved on the browser to be able to delete them so they're no longer auto-suggested. Right clicking on the suggested email doesn't show any options and they are not saved in auto-fill either.

Havent tried deleting all cookies/history, but im not sure if that would help.. Anyone have any ideas?

I created this thread about year ago Make Firefox android default for google assistant, shortcuts, but I missed the last response by Paul.

"If you search the Settings app for "default", you should see "default digital assistant app" as one of the results."

Sorry Paul.

I found the settings for the app with, but the app itself isn't the listed under apps.

I was able to make Firefox the default, but in partnership with what? With Firefox as the "default", Google Assistant is deactivated.

I use a ThinkPadNotebook with Windows. While surfing with Firefox, in a careless moment I clicked "allow" at a notification request of a suspicious website (qltuh.check-tl-ver-116-1.com). After this a few other websites opened up rapidly and soon after notification at the bottom right corner of the screen appeared. I immediately went offline and deactivated the corresponding permission for notifications in firefox. In particular, I did not follow any link displayed on the bottom right notifications.

My question is: Did simply granting permission of notification to this webiste create a security risk on my desktop? Or can I rest assured, since I revoked the permission and in the meantime did not follow any links displayed by the notification?

Thanks for help and clarification!

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1909997

This is an annoying issue because I frequently have multiple windows opened on multiple monitors. If I close the window that has all the tabs and open a new instance of firefox, the pinned tabs disappear. Such an awfull design. The pinned tabs should replicate to all other opened windows and stay pinned until the user manually unpins them.

Other software I use show a logo in the upper left window corner or program name in the title bar or both. Firefox and MS Edge show neither. When both are open I can't tell from a glance which is which. If I remember correctly, in days gone by Firefox showed its logo in the title bar. Is there any setting to turn this on?

I have attached several screen shots to describe the problem I have been experiencing with FireFox and E-trade (only). The problem started 2 days ago.

Window 11 - current Firefox - current 128.0.3 (64-bit)

The screen error that I am getting for the last two days is shown in attch #1

Looking at attch #2, the error occurs when I select any of the optional links starting with "Chart" and all other links that follow; the 1st two links are:

"Charts" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/charts/charts.asp?symbol=MS "News" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/news/search_results.asp?symbol=MS

All other equity stock main screens have the same problem.

Googling the error presented these suggestions (but nothing fixed the problem>) In Firefox Settings I have - cleared Cookies with "All Data" - HTTPS-only Mode is"disabled"; - "Enable DNS over HTTPS" is default Protection

Not sure what else to try. No problems occur with Chrome.

Suggestions? Bob

I was forced to do issues with my windows to reinstall, not having the ability to backup anymore due to the errors.

So after reinstalling windows I install firefox, I log in and it doesn't sync. Searching for a solution I found one that stated, if you have a backup of your files restore those into the new firefox profile. I do that and it shows a syncing animation shortly. Nothing happens though.

I start searching for other solutions, there they state just make a new profile via about:profiles and log in. I do so and it works, it starts syncing, but the problem now is it synced what synced in that other profile. So that other profile never really synced as in it did not grab from the cloud but rather it only upped and with that I guess overwrote everything what I had there? None of my later bookmarks are there, I only have what I had as a physical backup now. Why does sync work so? Not my first fight with sync, but I never lost data like this.

Kinda wish the sync interface was user-friendlier, where I can see what is overwritten or at least that I can choose to upload or download from sync when I log in. Instead of it choosing for me to just upload...

Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?
