Firefox Community Forum

Good day, The issues that I am encountering are explained below. The solution found after hours of research is uBlock Origin : https://ublockorigin.com/. Do you know which filters and rules should be applied to exclude the Wikimedia Foundation and all of its derivatives from the results provided by my search engine? Please share your knowledge. Sincerely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am utilizing Firefox ESR 128.10 desktop version on the Linux operating system. I wish to conduct research on the internet, utilizing the Startpage search engine. I would like to exclude the following sites from my search results: wikipedia.org, the Wikimedia Foundation, and any affiliated websites, regardless of the language or location settings configured.

What is the correct approach to establish a customized Startpage search profile excluding all Wikimedia Foundation sites? What is the proper setting to create a persistent and customized search engine configuration that excludes all Wikimedia Foundation domains even after an operating system update or reinstallation? Is it permitted to manually manage a customized search engine?

I have been advised to utilize an add-on or create a dedicated profile.

What would be the most suitable solution in my case, and the one that will be the most effective and stable ?

It is unfortunate that mozilla-firefox does not appear to offer a 'blacklist' or exclusion list feature, as that would be the most direct approach to excluding the Wikimedia Foundation websites from the search results.

I thank you kindly for all of your suggestions and responses to come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My "Video DownloadHelper" application is no longer displayed horizontally in the top bar, but now vertically on the left side of the screen. I can push the left bar away, which is extremely annoying, but then I have to search for the application using the "Settings" function. This takes too long and is too cumbersome. I want the "Video DownloadHelper" application to be displayed horizontally in the top bar again, as it was before. 1) Why did you change this in the first place? and 2) What do I have to do to get the "Video DownloadHelper" application displayed in the top bar again?

Bonjour.

au sujet des extensions , je remarque qu'il n y a pas de sécurité pour supprimer une extension .

dans mon cas ,j ai une extension pour bloqué ou limité des sites ,comme protection enfant .

le problème, c'est qu'il enlève extension et la protection n ai plus active .

peut-etre une idée a creuser .

merci ______________________________________________ Good morning.

With regard to extensions , I notice that there is no security to delete an extension.

in my case ,j have an extension for blocked or limited sites , as child protection .

the problem is that it removes extension and the protection is no longer active.

Maybe an idea to dig.

Thank you.

I have been trying to set group policy for ublock-origin extension in firefox linux.

per the docs, https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Deploying-uBlock-Origin:-configuration#toadd

I created a file "~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/uBlock0@raymondhill.net.json"

with content

{

   "name": "uBlock0@raymondhill.net",
   "description": "ignored",
   "type": "storage",
   "data": {
       "advancedSettings": [
           [ "disableWebAssembly", "true" ]
       ]
   }

}

but no matter what i add here, nothing is getting reflected back to extension settings. can you guys please advise on what to fix here

Hi All,

I have a number of computers that I would like to have configured identically, including Firefox's extensions. Is there a mechanism that I could use to automatically install a list of extensions on my (linux, windows) computers?

TIA, Mike.

I use Firefox as my go-to browser on my Windows 11 PC with the google search engine as my homepage. However, every time I open Firefox, a google sign in window pops up. How do I disable this? I only find instructions on how to do it with Chrome or other browsers, or where step-by-step instructions skip steps.

Please help!

I'm using Firefox 137.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (M4) macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 . I just installed Multi-Account Containers, and have a question that's not answered in any support material I can find.

Before I installed Multi-Account Containers, I had several Firefox windows open, each with many tabs. For each window, I used "Bookmark All Tabs" to save that windows set of bookmarks in a separate Bookmark folder, e.g. "Weather Obs&Forecasts", "Reading_news", "Music & Language", "Reading_miscellany".

Is there a way that I can open a new window and open all the websites in a bookmark folder at once in a single container? (I have in mind making use of Bookmarks > Reading_news > Open All in Tabs .) Because opening a new window, opening a new tab in a container, duplicating that tab 10 times, and then using Bookmarks > Reading_news to open each of the bookmarks in one of those new containerized tabs was a real drag.
