My friend recommended this browser to me. When I tried to customize it, I couldn't find an option to change the hotkeys to my preference. I consider this feature important since I use it for work. Can I do this somehow, and is there any plan to add such a feature to the settings?

Firefox suddenly has an AI assistant that pops up on a tool bar on the left side of the screen with a green dot beside it. I want to turn this off and make it disappear, if possible. Please tell me how to do that.

Hello, I'd like your help. I'd like to disable some unnecessary options from the Firefox right-click menu. 1. Open link in new tab 2. Open link in new container tab 3. Open link in new private window 4. Save link as 5. Copy link I don't need these five options, so I'd like to disable them if possible.

I've found out that you can create custom prompts for the AI sidebar with the configuration `browser.ml.chat.prompts.*`. Usually, this is done with the selection text. However, I'd like to pass the URL instead. I could use `%url%`, but that does not include parameters after `?` and hence does not work for Youtube.

Is there any variable that I can use to pass the full URL including parameters of the URL?

`StartupWMClass=firefox-aurora` in `/usr/share/applications/firefox-devedition.desktop`, with actually `firefox-dev` for opened windows.

One of the websites I need for school requires pop-ups. I can't click on the button to permit pop-up windows for just that site because it only flashes for less than a second and it is grayed out. I tried to go to preferences to disable the pop-up blocker, but the checkbox to disable it is grayed out. I created a new profile, but the button to disable the pop-up blocker is grayed out on that too. I now have to use chrome for this website because I can allow pop-ups on that browser.

My question is why is this setting grayed out? And how can I re-enable pop-ups or at least edit the exception list because that is grayed out right now too. Any other tips for troubleshooting similar issues in the future would also be appreciated.

On Firefox 128.14.0esr (build 20250811113756), Linux/X11, the setting browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled does change back to "true" every few days, or perhaps browser restarts.

How can I turn off tab previews reliably?

There is a 'feature' in Firefox that I think is called "click and hold context menu". Basically if you left click on something and hold the click for a second or two a menu appears that offers an AI generated list of suggestions related to the thing you were clicking on. How do I disable this? In searching I have found suggestions to open about:config and set the value for ui.click_hold_context_menus to false, which I have done a few weeks ago now and it has no affect. I also tried changing the related value of ui.click_hold_context_menus.delay to an insanely long time, but that also had no effect.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to turn this off. This is problematic enough that I may have to switch to another browser if this can't be disabled. Thanks! Attached is a random example of one of these context menu's that appears when clicking and holding on a link.

Is there a button I push or a feature I enable to make sure that I'm opted-out of any future updates that include AI 'features'? Or should I switch to Vivaldi now and save time?

I uncheckd the checked box labled "check spelling as you type" to disable it and it's still showing spellcheck. It's gettingin the way of me typing and being able to spell on my own. It's extremely annoying that I can turn off a featire and the progra will just ingore that I've turened it off. Why is this an actualy problem? why doesn't this button just work? I want it OFF... Please.

Mozilla currently allows a user to select an AI Chatbot to use in the updated sidebar. The choices are limited to Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Le Chat Mistral and Microsoft Copilot. When will Mozilla add Grok to this list of choices?

I'll be honest, I have strong ethical objections to "generative artificial intelligence" (genAI) on a range of issues, and I have seen no sign that the industry is capable of, let alone plans to address any of them. But I'm not here to debate genAI, I'm here because I require a work enviroment and tools that make it as easy as possible, preferably default, to avoid genAI.

I'm deeply disappointed that the Mozilla Organization has decided to add genAI to label tabs in Firefox. Even if I didn't have ethical concerns, I would still be disappointed at the bogged-down performance and genAI hallucinations that make this change categorically a downgrade.

I respect other users right to do things I find harmful, and the Organization's authority to make decisions. I treat genAI much as I treat smoking, everyone gets to make their own choices, but I have the right not to be exposed to second-hand smoke. Having genAI options default to on is like having somone blow smoke in my face, and when they can't be turned off, it is like having an acquaintence who insists on smoking in my home: I won't have them over (use their software) any more.

I'm in the process of kicking the people who smoke in my house out, and minimising my exposure to "second-hand smoke" (unwanted genAI). I've been a Mozilla user and proponent since the Organization was founded, and was a Netscape user before that, so I don't want to lose an old friend... but I am looking into other options.

Dear Folks at Firefox, Mozilla

In last few days I really have a big problem with trying to browse with my favorite browser Firefox. It is that cursor always goes to address bar instead of search bar when I am trying to surf the web. I tried all the fixes that I found online with changing things in about:config still with no solution.

I am running on Windos 11 and using latest Firefox version.

Kind regards Aljosha Mileta
