Firefox Community Forum

I installed Mozilla, there was a shortcut + on the home page. I added my shortcuts and deleted unnecessary ones, those that were by default. After that, the shortcut + disappeared. How can I return the shortcut +

All of the sudden Firefox no longer opening previous windows and tabs on startup, which is how I have had it set up forever.

The last few days, instead of opening previous windows and tabs when I launch FF, it opens mu Home Page. I then have to "reopen previously-closed windows " or "restore previous session."

Regardless of which I choose, I then have to manually close the first FF instance (the one with the single tab - my home page). Then when I'm done with my browser and I X out of it (or Exit" out), when I come back in the same thing happens - I'm presented with my home page, not my open tabs.

My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

in settings Homepage and new windows use custom urls, current urls doesn't include Pinned tabs. Windows updated and when firefox was restored two windows were opened, one was blank and the other opened old home page settings but did not reopen all my pinned tabs, gmail, yahoo mail,and some other tabs I plnned, there are 5 of them and several regular tabs I had open before and most of them did not show up in history. Pinned tabs do not get included in use custom urls for the home pages. Also for several days my roboform bar would not show up, roboform said no open browers to attach to when firefox was open.

How can I change the settings on Firefox so that only one window opens when I initially open up Firefox? I current get a window with my home page and then two tabs with my home tab.

No matter how many times I visit Amazon.com, it WILL NOT show up on my Home Screen as an ICON. I have tried 2 Rows and 4 Rows. I visit amazon many times in a week, sometimes many times in a day and it never shows up on the Home Screen after my last Firefox Upgrade to 142.0. Before the upgrade, it was always on my Home Screen. I have deleted many ICONS hoping it would somehow fill in as I visit Amazon - but it's not happening.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

My favourites link (blue star) has disappeared from the toolbar. I can find the favourites link by searching the computer but I don't know how to get it back on the toolbar.

Firefox does not properly install icons to the home page shortcuts. Where are these stored so I can manually add the proper icons, or, is there another way to reliably install the proper icons? Some urls pick up the proper icon on their own, many do not. This is irritating. The email me checkbox at the bottom of this page is non functional.

Why are my 3 rows of Home page tabs now so small? I can go to about:config, search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b and change to false and tabs are back to large. However, they soon revert back to very small. How can I keep them large?

Hey! Up until the last update, I used this code to set and focus a custom new tab page instead of its address bar (This should be a default feature, but what can you do...)

``` var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

// Set new tab page try {

 ChromeUtils.importESModule("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs").AboutNewTab.newTabURL = "file:///home/razv/StartPage/index.html"; 

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

// Auto focus new tab content try {

 ChromeUtils.import("resource:///modules/BrowserWindowTracker.jsm").BrowserWindowTracker;
 const Services = globalThis.Services

 Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
   window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
   window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
 }, "browser-open-newtab-start");

} catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); } ```

After the last update, focusing the new tab page's content is broken. Can anyone help me?

Since the settings haven't given that option for years, the best way to have a local file as the new tab page was using autoconfig.cfg + autoconfig.js, as described in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1251199 But since the most recent update (v136.0), this stopped working.

The New Tab Override add-on has its own issues with using local files (can only load a .html file, no local CSS/JS, can't give a blank address bar for me to search in), so it doesn't solve the issue either.

This is very important to me, and others have been asking for this feature back for years. It feels awful to have the working solution stop working, in the browser that's supposed to be open and customizable.
