I'm new to Firefox (I just started checking it out today). I came from Chrome and I have some questions.


1. Does Firefox have a limit to how much internet history it can hold? I did a full sync from Chrome.

2. Can I delete the folder "Old Firefox Data"?

3. How do we turn off "Thought-provoking Stories"?

4. Will there be an option to upload images to make them the homepage background?

Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

I suffer from Parkinson's Disease ads find the various "hot-keys" to be more annoying than of ANY potential benefit, all too often causing unwanted actions due to some errant key-press.

Is it possible to disable ALL?

I have one and only one SMTP account. I have 1,000,001 POP accounts. Mailboxes and accounts have no relationship.

This is a serious question, not a joke.

I remapped the "Select All" command on my computer from CMD - A to CMD - E. In order to make the change for all apps, MacOS allows changing the shortcut in:

Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > All Applications (or by adding application specific shortcut changes.)

I added an entry for "Select All" as CMD - E, which works for all my applications except for Firefox. Firefox even recognizes that the shortcut was modified, but still defaults to CMD - A as the default. What can I do to fix this?

You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?


Thank you all in advance...  :)

Recently, as I was writing a comment, spellcheck flagged "sexualized" and "unrelatable" as being spelled incorrectly. And when I looked at the list of words it was suggesting, and didn't see these words, I had to google them just to make sure these were official dictionary words, and not regarded as slang or something (like the word appearify, coined, apparently, by the homestuck creator). These aren't "bad" words either. I mean, I assumed that maybe "sexualized" wasn't included for some sort of censorship reason, but "unrelatable" ? How old is the dictionary Firefox is running its spellcheck through?

Whenever I start a Youtube video ever since turning on Dolby Atmos, there is a good 2-3 seconds of audio cut out of the beginning of every Youtube video launched. This doesn't happen on Edge or Chrome. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox and restarting Firefox but this does nothing. Even when I rewind the video, the audio is not there even though the video is playing.
