I have routinely copied multiple cells of Excel data and pasted it into Word in either Box or on my laptop. The pasted data is pasted into a Word chart - each Excel cell of data is pasted into its own box in the Word chart. However after just moving to One Drive, the copy/paste action fails to paste correctly into Word via One Drive. Instead of each Excel cell of data being pasted into its own box in the Word chart, all the cell data from Excel gets pasted into only the 1st box in Word when using One Drive. This is unique to Foxfire. The problem does not occur using Edge or Chrome. Can you please help to suggest what might be an easy solution. This is on a brand new Dell Latitude using Windows 11. Thank you.

sorry for my bad english. in german I always get in a circle an come never to this page to put in a question. I use version 127.0 and look for in the option to change save file behavior. I already asked google and the comments are from 2022. I like to activate a third button in the save file message box. Currently there are 2 buttons and I want to activate the 3. butten named "save a copy" or like this. I want to choose the directory always self and when I like I want to decide to save a copy with this button and firefox add a copy number automaticaly. I know from google if I do not use the option "always ask where to save file" firefox do so. As background I need this when I use a auto clicker to use a button on a page to download smartmeter data files. Unfortunatly the file have always the same name and not include the date and time. Unfortunatly I am not able to configure firefox automaticaly with the auto clicker or in the crone job file.

Today I realized that I have installed two (2) versions of Mozilla Firefox on my Laptop PC which I rarely use.

Both editions are 64-bit type but one is version 109.0.1 (11/04/2023) in

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and the other is version 128.0.3 (28/07/2024) in C:\Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox.

I suppose it is illegal to have two versions of the same App., so the question is how can I delete the old version (109.0.1) without affecting or damaging the new version (128.0.3)?

Thank you, JOHN HATZITOLIOS

This anoying feature is very bad as it is destroying the usage reason of firefox.

Moz Developers,

I would like to add a default exclude words from from search results. So for example, my search would be

"Best places to live" but I would like to exclude Africa with

"Best places to live -africa"

Could "-africa" be added to a default search bar settings so I don't need to type it?

Cheers

Remember Focus (search hit number) of Search in Page e.g. 17/34 and not back to 1/34

I have to search for a lot of entries in a long page, click on them to another window, do something (fill in a syllabus) and then go back to the long page and change the next search hit.

When I return to the long page the search in page is remembering where I am in the number of searches shown at the bottom of the page (e.g. 19/34) but when I click on the down button, instead of going to 20/34 it jumps back to 1/34 so then I have to press the down button 20 times to get to the next search hit.

Is there any way around this, so that I can just jump to the next search hit without having to press the down button 20 times?

I thought it might be the fact that the search is off screen but that is not it. It is the fact that I have left the page so the focus has been forgotten (except as the number 19/34 on the search in page bar at the bottom).

Is this a bug?

I want to programatically access the open tabs #document object by the Browser Console. I am in chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml I fallow the docs in browser console: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/browser_console/index.html

Following the code: var newTabBrowser = gBrowser.getBrowserForTab(gBrowser.selectedTab); newTabBrowser.addEventListener("load", function() {

newTabBrowser.contentDocument.body.innerHTML = "

this page has been eaten

";

}, true); newTabBrowser.contentDocument.location.href = "https://mozilla.org/";

.contentDocument is null except if current tab is a page such as page about:config

Is there a way to allow chrome:// tab to access read only of the tabs #documents property using the console?

I understand that accessing it with javascript from the browser console would be a security issue. I want to bypass it to read, analize and compare dynamic data from the open tabs.

Disabling GPU process fixes stuttering on external display on dual-GPU Optimus laptop

My configuration is the following: Windows 11, internal display connected to iGPU and external UHD display to nvidia-HDMI port, multiple firefox windows are opened (1 one the internal screen, 2 on the external).

Then in Windows->Settings->GPU I can select firefox to run on either iGPU (powersaving) or on Nvidia GPU (max perf), the problem is the following: Whenever I set firefox running on iGPU, there would be a massive stuttering/framedrop on an external display (connected to NVIDIA), while a perfectly smooth browsing on internal display, and vice versa.

My first attempt was to disable webrenderer compositor or switching it to a software rendering, which fixes the heavy stuttering, but the scrolling becomes overall less fluid/responsive.

However, setting "layers.gpu-process.enabled" to "false" seemingly solves this problem completely. Now I have a perfectly smooth scrolling on both displays, regardless of which GPU is used in Windows->Settings->GPU (nvidia's is arguably a little but more responsive).

Hope this helps someone, or maybe dev team could look deeper into this.

Thank you for the great browser!

When I get emails I don't want, I move them to the Junk Email option BUT, it only deletes that specific email and does NOT keep it from being sent again (and they ARE, repeatedly). I contacted Yahoo and and all they do is send me to a website that will answer the question but sign me up for a monthly $46 to $55 fee. Any way known that I can solve my problem?
