Hello, I'm using Firefox since day 1. Now I just discovered that it's virtually impossible to completely delete the history in Firefox. I do try to delete my browsing history as suggested in the Firefox documentation. The problem is with "Firefox suggests". Pages that should have been cleared out by deleting the browser history, be it in settings or over the three bar menu still show up there. To me this is unacceptable. I can obfuscate by disabling all address bar search options, but the history data is then still stored somewhere. I do not use any cloud services. Attached you can see an image of what I mean. All browsing history should have been deleted but still show up (also after restarting Firefox).

I would really like to continue to use Firefox but only if I can delete ALL browsing history. Thank you. Best Regards

There are times where I like having the title bar appear on my laptop display of a webpage. Other times I want to take a screenshot of selected page content, and the title bar just obstructs ability to fit the bottom line or two of the page content I want to screenshot. Yes i know I can reduce the zoom size of the page display itself, but sometimes (often) due to the page layout's CSS, this results in both too-small type for me to comfortably read AND even with the text reflow, it's not enough to reveal the extra bottom of page content I am trying to capture.

The Firefox UI controls are very robust and well-appreciated how much customization can be had, but still, the number of steps required to go in and turn Title Bar off is just way too many for quick and efficient workflow -- especially when after getting the screenshot I want, I will want to just turn Title-Bar back on. Surely there must be a way to create an icon option that lives next to Home, Bookmarks, Downloads, Refresh whose function is to actuate a quick 1/2 second toggle off, then a quick toggle back on?

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

My usernames and passwords are both saved on firefox. On certain websites, like reddit, the option to autofill only appears when I click on the password box, not the username box, and it only fills out the password. This happens both on windows and android.

I feel like this has to have been asked and answered 1000 times already, but when I searched I could not find any answer links that matched my question.

There seem to be so many variables in adjusting down to a molecular level what gets shown and what gets suppressed by customizing Firefox CSS, or by using about:config . But at this point for me, I am really looking for a DEFAULT USAGE solution. I'm sure there is one and I just don't know it.

All I want is to be able to use and click Mac's built in UI "Green" button in the traffic-light UI element at the top-left corner of a window, and have the browser obey and: strip out or suppress all Firefox browser "chrome" elements such as tab bar, URL bar, bookmarks bar -- and show me the webpage I am looking at truly full-screen. Then when done with full-screen view, I want to click/toggle Mac's "green light" button again and have all the Firefox browser UI elements return. (Tab bar, URL bar, bookmarks bar).

My computer died about three days ago, and firefox had three windows open. When I rebooted the computer again, firefox automatically started up, and the flyout panel thing that shows up when you right click on an app claimed that all three windows returned. However, only two of them were actually accessible, and clicking on the app to move between them and the F3 window confirmed this. Clicking on the third window accomplishes nothing, reveals nothing, and just moves the little checkmark around in that flyout panel. Closing the other two windows before restarting firefox does not open a new window because it thinks one is already there, but I cannot in any way see or access it outside of its label in the flyout panel. Even hitting "Show All Windows" just shows the window I am typing this in. What am I supposed to do here?

For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
