How to I delete three Fire Fox icons found in Apps? Two show up in the taskbar tray and I am constantly being asked if Fire Fox should be my Default.

Also, refreshing Fire Fox changed all my options. For example, when Fire Fox opened, there were two rows of internet choices from "mail" to "dictionary"; now, a plain white screen.

I'm about to give up on Fire Fox and follow the herd with Microsoft forever! It seems every time Microsoft has an "update", two things happen: I have problems with Fire Fox and my phone rings off from folks I've never done business with; any connection?

Thanks in advance for your help. Computers are a necessary evil!

Hi

I am unable to connect to TELUS email which is operated by Google. The unit is a new SAMSUNG Tablet 9A and is owned by a friend. I installed Thunderbird for Android on the unit. I cannot set it up because it requires OAuth2 Authentication and it is not available within the TB for Android. I use TB on many units using Linux and they work fine.

I do not want to use Gmail client but maybe I have to. Is there anyone aware of how to solve this problem so I can set him up with TB, which I prefer? Robert

All of a sudden, when I'm on eBay, a lot of the hot links, embedded on an eBay "for sale" item don't work. Sometimes, when I (repeatedly) hit "Reload Current Page", they start working, or become "hot", as they should be. I wrote eBay, but no response. I don't know, if it's their problem, or something wrong with Firefox. Thanks, in advance, David

I view movies and tv series on Amazon Prime and others every night . Suddenly I no longer can. On Prime I get a msg. saying I must update ff. It tells me the process and I have done it at least 6 times. When I go to 'about Firefox it tells me that I am already up to date, have version 115.18 esr. I am on a Dell Business computer, Vostro 470. Windows 7, service pak 1. Processor is i5-3450CPU @3.10GHz. RAM 400 GB , 4 processor cores. 64 bit. Prime disk466 GB 395 GB free. I'm a senior lady, not very computer literate. I have a ton of duplicate files but don't know which to remove. If I got help I could free up a lot more space. I watch everything on my computer monitor. I don't understand as the esr was supposed to allow us to continue. Please help as I am pretty homebound and this is about my only entertainment.

Hi, there are bugs with text selection when using touch. The video below explains. But simply selecting text is really buggy and the bugs happen randomly, long pressing on text sometimes selects text sometimes not, sometimes opens context menus sometimes not. The preferred behavior is to select text and open the context menu at the same time.

Debian 12, Wayland, Firefox 133, Thinkpad yoga

I am with Activ8me, that is my internet provider, since your program update my email no longer opens and I cannot send emails, i have been on the phone for an hour with my provider and they have tried many things, nothing ever changed or worked, when I try to open Thunderbird it tells me the server may have gone down or there may be a network problem, if i try to send an email it tells me, peer reports incompatible or unsupported protocol versions and the configuration needs to be corrected, The Techs at Activ8me could not get it to work, they think there must be an issue with Thunderbirds new program, can you look into this please and see why activ8 emails do not work on here any more, hopefully someone can provide for me a complete and easy to follow guide that will fix this issue, Thanks, Ray

For any page I've tried under nationalrail.co.uk, Add to Home screen no longer offers a way to change the name of the icon so every one is National Rail (see screenshot). It used to work as expected, an icon with a default name which can be changed but now it has the instruction Touch and hold an icon or tap Add to add it to the Home screen with the site's icon and no edit field.

bbc.co.uk is similar but cnn.com is fine.

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.
