Hi, I want to make a simple extension for Firefox that auto toggles vertical tab based on the aspect ratio of the Firefox window. I found `sidebar.verticalTabs` in about:config that toggles vertical tabs, but a simple googling tells me that it is not possible for web extension to modify about:config values. Is there any other API that toggle vertical tabs? Thanks!

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

When I try to log into a site I have used dozens and dozens of times in the past, I get the following notice: WARNING: POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK AHEAD. This is a dead end from which I have not een able to proceed. The particular site I am attempting to access is the only site where I've encountered this warning. I called that site and was told that while they have been tweaking their security, since the warning message came from Firefox, I should contact Mozilla for help. So here I am.

I use desktop Firefox with newly installed Windows 11 (my profile erroneously sates w10). i must use the blocked website frequently, and so I need to restore access to it ASAP. It is a high security healthcare site, and as I said, they claim they could not identify a security problem, that the key to restoring my access is through my browser, Firefox.

Can you help me restore my access to the site? Thanks .... KH

When capturing a screenshot, I used to save to desktop as default (as set in settings). Now, regardless of the default folder set in settings, FF always downloads to "Downloads" folder. Very irritating. So now I click the "always ask" checkbox in settings. Is this a bug or a feature???

Good morning, today I downloaded Debian 13 Mate version and to install Firefox I entered the following commands taken from https://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/installare-firefox-linux#w_installare-firefox-tramite-il-pacchetto-deb-per-le-distribuzioni-basate-su-debian-consigliato and the commands were


sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg -O- | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > /dev/null

echo ' Package: * Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org Pin-Priority: 1000 ' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox firefox-l10n-it

but I get this result OpenPGP signature verification failed: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Signature by 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3 was created after the --not-after date.Il repository "https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease" non è firmato.

What mistake could I have made? Apart from the fact that now we use sudo apt update && sudo apt install Thank you in advance for your response.

In May 2025 all browsers should have removed the default styling for the h1 element when it is nested in a sectioning element (article, aside, nav, section). I went into Firefox Dev Editions user-agent style sheet and noticed that the styling for nested h1 elements is still the same. I'm wondering why that is the case, since I was under the impression that all the major browsers had completed make the necessary adjustments at the end of May 2025.

Hello, I just used the Firefox 141.0 (aarch64) wizard for Raspberry Pi OS 1.0, to import bookmarks from Brave, however the wizard said 0 bookmarks imported.

I also manually exported and imported the bookmarks.html file and the latest bookmarks aren't appearing at the top. It seems the bookmarks are nested in some bookmarks directory by default. I'm confused?

Also I tried a manual import several months ago but same issue about some strange nesting structure rather than simply appearing at the top. Now I'm really confused and worried I'll lose my bookmarks as there's about 3 version in various nested structures. Please help just make an easy move to Firefox.
