I have every about:config and settings option set to recommended to prevent autoplay videos. NONE work with yahoo. The vids will drop to the lower right hand corner but even if I click on the close window X they still pop open again. And again. And again. Is there a solution to this arrogant, self-centered behaviour by yahoo?

A while back I noticed that my google calendar no longer sends reminders to my gmail (or rather, I suspect, gmail does not receive them). Yesterday I missed an important meeting because of this, so I want to get to the bottom of it. I verified that the reminders are properly set in my calendar, so I have to assume that they are going out. The pop-up windows do pop, so I assume that it is not on the calendar side. I also noted that calendar.google.com and gmail.google.com have the proper permissions to send pop-ups and notifications to gmail, which indicates to me that this end of the equation is working. (Don't know how to isolate the error further, though.) It seems that the Firefox settings need to be changed somehow. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I did a search to try and fix this. Suggestions included, checking if Private Windows are on, Customizing Toolbar, making sure all extensions are enabled and Refresh Firefox, all of which I did with no results. Before I go nuclear and uninstall/install Firefox, are there any other suggestions to solve this issue?

I tried to remap the Tools > Page Info shortcut from Cmd + I to Ctrl + Opt + Cmd + I in macOS keyboard settings, however, despite the keyboard shortcut listed beside Page Info appearing to change, "Cmd + I" still brings up Page Info.

I read on another [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1287036] post that the Shortkeys extension might help but the developer info page states that default keyboard shortcuts cannot be modified with the extension.

Creating an autoconfig file was also suggested [https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questi.../1381773 elsewhere, but I don't seem to have a defaults/pref directory in Contents/Resources inside Firefox.app. A guide on what to put in these files to change the default keyboard shortcut for Page Info would also be appreciated.

How the hell do I remove this crappy sidebar!?!?! Your suggestion of tapping the cog and clicking on sidebar button DOESN'T WORK! REMOVE IT! It is annoying, terrible! Why would you mess with something that didn't need to be fixed ? What are you, Jaguar? Remove it now, actually do something and fix it.

I've been using and enjoying Firefox for years on my various Windows machines. I've just purchased a Ubuntu Linux Thinkpad and have installed and used Firefox for a few days. It's generally working well except at start-up. Apparently it tries but can't restore the previous session, even though I have not selected "Open previous windows and tabs" ??

I am using lastest version on Windows and Linux (133.0) but I did notice the settings/options are a bit different in Linux, but I would just like to set my Linux FF to do same as Windows FF on startup, that is just two open tabs: - Gmail opened as a pinned tab. - Google Search as the open tab with focus I've attached a snip of the relevant section in General Settings How do I set this up in Linux? Thanks in advance

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!

Firefox downloads .ai files too often as .pdf files, which, although I can open in Adobe Illustrator and/or change the file suffix to open in Adobve Illustrator instead of it automatically opening in Acrobat (unless I right click into Illustrator), is a hassle and concerns me of unintentional file corruption. I don't know why Firefox is downloading .ai files as .pdf files, but it is impractical and frustrating. None of the file download settings I adjusted fixed the issue.

Is this a known issue? The only thread/question I found on this type of issue where files get downloaded as the wrong filetype/suffix was an archived question on .ddd files being downloaded as .pdf files. Please let me know if this is something the devs are aware of and can work to fix it.

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?

In earlier versions of Firefox for desktop, one had the option of selecting a set of websites to open in tabs on startup. I no longer see that option. Is it still possible to do so? Thanks

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

In Duolingo you can turn on/off the sound settings which include 'motivational' noises when you answer correctly. I find them annoying so have them off. I've been using Duolingo and Firefox together for years, no problem, then a couple of months ago these sound settings became ineffective i.e. permanently on even if turned off in Duolingo. I thought the problem was a bug in Duolingo until I loaded it from Microsoft Edge and there was no problem. The settings turned on and off. I'd prefer to carry on as I was before and just use Firefox. How can I fix this?

Hi, have been a Firefox devotee for years. Currently have a problem accessing some sites including https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/login which I access via another email address. The problem is that when i click login nothing happens - there is no pop up or similar - the attached image results, suggesting a reCaptcha failure. But I don't see anything.

When using Chrome, I do not get the same challenge, so clearly to me, a setting in Firefox.

Appreciate any help on offer,

thanks

Hello,

About a month or so ago, I noticed the New Tab "+" button was missing on the right hand side of the tabs bar. Also missing is the "arrow" for clicking tabs rightward (the left "arrow" for clicking tabs leftward is still present). After a Firefox update today, I had hoped it would come back but it is still missing. I opened "customize toolbars" and clicked "restore defaults" but the New Tab "+" button is not listed as an option! Is this yet another bug that Mozilla claims is a "feature" that no one asked for (like erroneously moving the tabs bar to the top)?

Thanks.
