Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I have set my OS and Firefox language to English. While the settings, menu, etc. are in English, various alerts and popups which let me save/upload a file (please take a look at the attached picture) are in the local language.

Does anyone know how to fix it? It doesn't occur with other browsers.

Thank you.

I am trying to change the keyboard shortcut of the Tools → Downloads menu (opening up the downloads).

I accidentally click that sometimes and it is quite annoying, so I thought I'll switch the shortcuts to a more complex one to avoid these mistakes ^+⌘+J and when I remap that in the Keyboard preferences, the new shortcuts shows up in the menu, and it starts working but the old shortcut ⌘+J is still working.

I believe that is a bug in Firefox.

Is there a way for the new window animation in Firefox for Mac to be disabled?

Safari does not do this, but firefox has a... ~100ms animation for new windows that's extremely frustrating for those of us who do not use tabs (Apple's Exposé/Mission Control obsoletes them).

I haven't found a configuration in about:config, although I've been able to disable a few others.

guys i need your help

While browsing the web archive, I saw a site called netsacpe archive, after browsing for a bit, I saw a title called Make your firefox browser look like netsacape and I clicked it, it was talking about some add-ons, I searched all of them in firefox add-ons and I couldn't find them anywhere

The add-ons are:

I'd like to use different themes for regular Firefox and Private Browsing mode on the same device. It seems like an easy way to keep track of where you are and what you're doing, but I haven't been able to make it work. Is that possible?

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a way to remove the top open tabs bar on the browser. I am currently using the tree style tabs and was hoping to just use that and remove the visual clutter from the top.

Hello, in past versions of Firefox, I was able to follow the steps on this page to set a custom HTML file on my PC as my home page for new tabs: https://peterries.net/blog/firefox-ubuntu-local-file/

I have Firefox 107.0.1 now and it's not happening. When I open the browser from scratch, I see my custom home page file. But when I open a new tab, I just see a blank screen. If I then click the Home icon on the toolbar, I do see my custom HTML page, but I don't want to have to click that button for each new tab.

Right now, in my settings, I have the URL to the page set as the custom URL for the HTML fiile, like this:

file:///home/peter/Documents/homepage/peter-home-homepage.html

That works. And I also have followed the steps on that blog post to customize my /usr/lib/firefox/autoconfig.cfg and my ../firefox/defalults/pref/autoconfig.js files. That's no longer working.

Did something in a recent version change? Is this no longer supported? Thanks for any ideas!

Hi, I just want to get rid of this picture in picture feature. If I click to see a video & scroll down I dont want to get the video at the bottom right. I just want the video to stop so I can click on another video if I want. I dont like this feature. I tried different things however nothing work. Do you have a solution?

What I already did: In the Firefox about:config I changed many settings to false however I still have the issue. See image of my settings in the attachment. The site I tested: https://www.meteomedia.com/ca

Firefox v107.0.1 running on Windows10

Thank you

Am I wrong when I came to the conclusion that update 108 brought visual changes? On one PC I have version 107.0.1, and on the other I updated to 108 and the appearance changed, after which I decided to remove this version and immediately install 108. I did not change the default theme. The rest of the colors suit me. I'm using a userChrome.css file and have enabled its use (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - true).

I am wary of installing any theme because it will surely look bad somewhere else. So I want to do without it.

This is what 107 looks like: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-03-c4ca42.png

And here it looks like 108: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-22-c81e72.png

Thank you!

Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

For almost year Firefox screenshot feature missing from everywhere including customize toolbar section. So if it's not in customize tool bar section, which means I cannot drag it either to menu area.

There is no topic on the internet about this issue at all. Where did it go? and how to bring back up. Firefox version is : 107.0.1

make the dark mode come up in dark mode.

Even this page of yours is light not dark. I is not dark, but the mode is set to dark and the add on is set to dark.

if you cannot solve this then take away the dark mode that you pretend to have.

perhaps i should remove the dark mode add on, and use just the firefox built in one only. currenly both firefox and the firefox addon are set to dark and it keeps changing google.com to white when google settings are set to dark, then firefox turns off google dark mode and makes it white.

the version data you state below is correct. 107.0.1 win 10

it is now time to give up on firefox and use edge since their programmers are trained and professionals. your programmers can be anyone, which in fact make it the least secure browser. after 107 versions you still don't get it right. you don't really have a dark mode you should actually test your software.

google is my homepage and its setting is set to dark mode, but when firefox which is also set to dark mode always google comes up immediately in white mode and the google setting has been changed by firefox to google's white mode. stop changing google's mode, you do not have the right to do this. if I open a second tab it may up dark, it is not consistent.

Hi. How do I associate programs to file extensions? Like, "open 'x' program with 'y' program"? I used to know how, but my memory's lousy today. Please advise. Thanks!

hello

1) I've been trying to change the console colours for the web developer console using userChrome.css, but I have failed. I want to set the background for console.info text to be light blue while the text color to be bold dark blue font. I would like to have it only in light theme. Also I would like to change the font size of the console for both themes.

2) Is it possible to change the folders of bookmarks to yellow. I read there are SVG. I tried to solution that are meant to change the folders to yellow, but failed. Can someone point me to a dummies guide for a solution.

The first one is the more important issue.

Thank you in advance

I enabled switch to tab for google calendar but now I can't get it to stop. I found this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1272327 and opened the pad lock and removed the switch to tab permission. But it is still doing it. I also tried going into the site settings and permissions and there the "Switch to this tab" is set to the default of Always Ask. I even tried blocking all notifications on the site but it's still switching to it and it gets really annoying.

Please allow me to preface with I do not know how to code at all and I have found some options to make the scroll bar disappear, but with coding, and I'm hoping for an option that takes that away easily.

I don't think it is any of my extensions causing this, and I don't think it's an option in Firefox to remove the scroll bar.

Please help if possible! It doesn't disappear even when I'm watching videos on fullscreen.

Thank you.

Hello there, I wish to play 1080p video in 4k resolution(monitor native) rather than 1440*1.5 in fullscreen mode on youtube. I have a monitor 4k resolution, my win10 setting is 150% scaling(recommended), the youtube viewport size is "2560x1440*1.5" with a "*1.5". When I change win10 to 100%, viewport is "3840x2160". This seems correct but the video quality is lower because it is not a x2 upscale from original 1080p youtube stream, but rather x1.5x1.33. Is there anyway for firefox to render video directly? I am aware I can change system scale each time to play video but that's not what I'm looking for. I guess since firefox is rendering text pixel perfect so it has a solution for this problem. Thanks
