Firefox Community Forum

So I have two Google accounts, let's call them Antelope and Bear. Antelope is my "main" account, but I use Bear for a lot of things too, which includes Gemini. So, if I want to use the Gemini chatbot option on Firefox's sidebar, it would make the most sense to use it under my Bear account, since that way I can access my previous chats and all that. However, when I open the Gemini chatbot, it automatically logs me in as Antelope. And when I click on the account's profile picture to swap to Bear, it instead opens the Gemini site on a new tab, in which I am indeed logged in as Bear, but the sidebar remains stuck on the Antelope account. I've tried the "reload Gemini" option, restarting Firefox, and clearing the cache, but nothing works. I think I could fix it by logging out of both accounts, then logging in only as Bear, letting the sidebar "grab" that account, and then logging in as Antelope, but I wanted to know if there's an easier/cleaner way to go about it. Thank you in advance.

Hello!

I am having an issue where when I right click an image when on the image tab of a search engine, it only has the "Open Image in New Tab" choice in the context menu, with no ability to open the website the image is on in said context menu. ("Open Link in New Tab")

I know this is the opposite of what most folks want, but I see it this way: If you open the image from the context menu right from the search page, it only opens the tiny, fuzzy image that you already could see on the search page. I don't want, nor need, the tiny, pixelated image that I am already looking at.

I want to be able to open it right to the page that the image is on. That way I can see the image in full resolution, or look at the page it is from.

Is there any add-on or code or anything that could help me? I've searched and searched, but nothing I've found has worked.

TL;DR I want to remove "Open Image in New Tab" and replace it with "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu when clicking on images in the image tab of search engines on Firefox. Is there any add-on or code or anything that could help me?

You can create custom prompts in about:config (search for browser.ml.chat.prompt), so you can use something like {"label":"Custom prompt","value":"%selection%"}. This %selection% is the text on the page that is currently selected. When you select something and click the chatbot popup button that appears and choose your custom prompt, it sends to the chatbot the string "<selection>the selected text</selection>". So instead of just returning the actual text, it adds the <selection> tag around it.

There are two problems with this: 1. it's ugly, and 2. the chatbot doesn't ignore it, sometimes changing the response because of the "<selected>" tag.

How to remove this tag so that what is sent is only the "the selected text" string with no tag?

I've followed all recommendations to fix that, but nothing works. Should I remove the browser, boot up, and download it again? Remove all my personal settings, etc? Also, I download my emails, I erase the unwanted emails, and suddenly, many copies of my previously erased emails show up after I get a new email. This happens with Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Please help me, this is driving me crazy and taking up my time. Gratefully, have a swell day! Isis

Firefox is set to restore the session on launch, and that used to work flawlessly. I have two monitors and a couple weeks ago I installed Windows 11, after that Firefox still worked properly. But since I've had issues with the DisplayPort connection for the primary monitor being unstable, this weekend I swapped it to HDMI, reset the primary/secondary monitor settings in WIndows accordingly, and now Firefox won't open its windows on the primary monitor on first launch after windows loads.

I've got three window at the moment, with multiple open tabs in each. Two windows are supposed to on the primary monitor, and one on the secondary, but now Firefox will send all three windows to the secondary monitor. So I move the two windows to the primary monitor, exit Firefox gracefully, give it a moment to shut down properly, restart Firefox, and all the windows are where I left them.

Then when I restart the computer, Firefox shoves all the windows onto the seconday monitor again.

The primary monitor always come on first, and I alway wait to login to windows till both monitors are awake, so it's not like the one monitor is missing. I also have MonitorKeeper (https://github.com/hunkydoryrepair/MonitorKeeper/) which normally works for keeping the windows on the right monitor, but it doesn't work when Firefox launches the windows on the wrong monitor.

All other programs have no problems like this and open where I left them. It only seems to be the Firefox restore session that somehow fails to put the windows in place on first launch of the day.

New Window slider (see screen shot ) in settings unchecks when Firefox is closed and opened. I have completed a fully uninstalled FF and completed a clean installation to check that was not the issue. It was not. It has been a few weeks now so not sure which upgrade fried it.

Firefox closes my window too fast-feels like after seconds of inactivity. Can I extend to 5 or 10 minutes? I live alone so o no one is going to run in here and get on my computer when I get up to let the dog out.

Thanks!

Firefox private browsing keeps pinning to taskbar. I keep "unpinning" it, and it re-appears. I use multiple desktops, and when I change desktops it re-appears.

I went into browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, and set it to false, and yet this still happens. Also tried browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, and setting it to false.

Firefox version 146.0.1 (64-bit).

This never happened before a recent update, but I'm not sure which one.

Thanks.

Under the finish setup heading, when opened the choice to pin Firefox to the task bar has been chosen numerous times. Each choice has been activated but this one doesn't stick. When I open that heading again it displays that choice still open.

I haven't been able to find a keyboard shortcut for switching between FF windows. I'm using MacOS Tahoe. Is this in development, or is it there and I just haven't been able to find it.

I want to change my keyboard shortcuts for download page.Before an update my download page shortcut was ctrl+j. But after that update my keyboard shortcut changed ,now it is ctrl+shift+u. How do I fix this

After a recent Firefox update, I noticed an issue when trying to rearrange Containers. When I create a new Container, it is added to the bottom of the list (which is expected). However, when I try to rearrange it in Settings → Manage Containers and move it into the middle of the list, the cursor behaves as usual and turns into a plus sign, but instead of rearranging the container, Firefox opens that container in the current tab and displays only a blank white page. The container is not moved in the list at all. This behavior did not occur before the update. All I want to do is rearrange my containers in the list, but this currently seems impossible due to this behavior.

When customizing the toolbar, Firefox has a standard button named "Forget" which lets you easily delete browser data (see the attached image).

I'm using this button, but I should like the button to work in a different way. What I want is that everything except from browser history is deleted, when I click the forget icon. It should not be necessary to first click the forget icon, and then "Forget!" (as in the attached image). I don't neither want to restart the browser or open a new clean window

Does someone know how to achieve this without developing my own plugin? Does the standard buttons have some scripts somewhere that can be edited?

Hi Team,

I’m currently conducting a DevOps training session and we are using Firefox to inspect headers for a web app running inside a local Docker container (localhost:8080).

We've noticed that occasionally the 'Network' tab in DevTools fails to show the full response headers for our nginx proxy, even after clearing the cache. It works fine in other browsers, but I prefer using Firefox for our students because of the superior CSS Grid and Flexbox tools.

Is there a specific setting in about:config that might be limiting the capture of headers for local loopback addresses?

Thanks for the help!
