Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for clarification regarding the distribution of Firefox through third-party packaging methods.

As I understand it, Mozilla's trademarks and branding are protected, and in some cases official permission may be required to distribute Firefox under the Firefox name and branding.

Within the Ubuntu Touch community, there is a method called "Crackle" that can repackage existing applications and make them available as installable "Clickable" packages on the platform. One of the applications that has been repackaged in this way is Firefox.

However, this Firefox package is currently not available in the Ubuntu Touch software store because there is concern that distributing it may require explicit permission from Mozilla.

My question is therefore:

Does a project or community need Mozilla's permission to distribute a repackaged version of Firefox through a software store? If so, what would be the correct process for obtaining such permission? Alternatively, if the software is merely being repackaged to provide an installation method on another platform, without modifying Firefox itself, is additional permission still required?

We would appreciate any clarification regarding Mozilla's policies on redistribution, repackaging, and trademark usage in this context.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello, I am experiencing an annoying layout issue with the New Tab page in Firefox. The spacing between my Top Sites icons is way too large, making the grid look unnaturally stretched out and leaving too much empty space on the screen.Here is the weird behavior I noticed:When I run Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Safe Mode), the layout looks perfectly fine, tight, and compact — exactly how it used to be.If I use the "Refresh Firefox" feature, the compact layout returns to normal in the regular mode, but only temporarily.As soon as I launch Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode again and then switch back to the normal profile, the layout breaks once more, and the huge gaps between the shortcuts reappear. (the white bar is the safe mode)

I'm using firefox in ubuntu. A couple of minutes ago Firefox crashed. I restarted to a completely new Firefox. All my tabs, extensions, saved passwords, etc. were gone. This happened to me a few weeks ago. That time I found a solution: find a back-up of the old profile and manually restore it. I tried to reproduce that solution this time, only to find that there are no back-ups at all of my previous session. Is there a solution to this problem?

I have noted (finally) that Firefox is setting not just Language but units and currency based on the Language.

So, of the choices available - UK English is the nearest in terms of Language and spelling. However it's not my currency and despite being "technically" metric are not.


US English uses a currency that is not mine (but pretends to be), spelling that is not mine and does not even use Imperial units but some Elizabethan hybrid.

Canada manages to take the language from one and the units of the other.

No other Language English XX are offered.

Can I have Australian English - New Zealand or Singapore would be fine.
