I use Protonmail - a web-based email app. They do not provide spellchecking, but say that the Firefox spellchecker should work in their email composer (it used to work so for me!) but, despite having Settings/General/Spellchecker ticked, and a dictionary (GB) selected (and, I see, the spellchecker working in this dialogue box) it is not working in the Protonmail composer.

Help!!

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

Recently, Firefox has started closing all open tabs between browsing sessions. Not sure why this has happened. Firefox has been my preferred browser but this will force a change to Chrome or Edge.

Hi, the other day I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Long story short, I had to reinstall Windows 11 and all my apps, including Firefox. My visited links no longer change color. I tried the Settings / Language & Appearance / Manage Colors and nothing works. I did notice that if I click on a link, it changes color for a fraction of a second then reverts back. On a similar note, I use NoScript. I've noticed it looks different. Maybe a background grid. And Privacy Badger is missing the oval slider boxes and the colored selection tab has no color. I'm guessing this is all related somehow.

About a month ago I found that, when I clicked on Firefox browser, instead of the usual page with the default search engine duckduckgo coming up, a very plain page which just said "Search" appeared on screen with an address in the search bar which said something like "hp-search xxxxxxx". And when I entered the address I required it was clear that Yahoo was doing the search. I tried deleteing Mozilla from the Windows 10 control panel and then reinstalling it but each time I did this Firefox seemed to have been replaced by hp-searchxxxx and Yahoo. Eventually, after using an alternative uninstaller (Revo), I was able to remove and replace Mozilla with the genuine browser and search engine. I have a feeling it was when I added "Privacy Badger" or some other extension to Mozilla that the trouble occurred. Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, could they please tell me what I error I made?

Installer does not allow updating Firfox installation on D: drive. Automatically installs new instance on C: drive.

My version of Firefox is 108.0.1 -- I am running Windows 10 on a machine that Windows says is not capable of running Windows 11

My installation of Firefox resides on my D: drive. It uses quite a bit of space for cache and other things on my C: drive but it starts and runs on my D: drive.Now I am forced to update, but I can't get the installer to recognize an installation on the D: drive and update it. Instead it makes a new installation on my C: drive and I lose my appearance customizations, history and bookmarks.

I have never believed and cannot accept that an application absolutely MUST reside on the C: drive. It's lazy programming (something I used to do for a living). I can't believe Mozilla programmers wrote an installer that insists that Firefox must live there, so what am I missing? How do I tell the installer to find and update my existing application?

Thanks for your help. I feel as if I am missing something that ought to be obvious.
