Firefox is opening the file instead of letting me download when clicking "download". File type is set to download in my preferences.

When opening several tabs they start to shrink down to the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth for which the default is too small for my sensibility. I've tried messing with it to make it more tolerable but what I really would like is to be able to set the tabs to not change size at all. I would like them to stay the default size. Of course let users have smaller tabs if they like, but let us not if we don't want it.

My second issue is when you have many tabs open and you scroll through them with the mouse wheel, it scrolls 6 tabs at a time per mouse wheel input. I would like it to do 1 tab per mouse wheel input just like if I was clicking on the arrows at the top to scroll through tabs. It just makes sense to stay consistent or to have an option in the config that controls tab scrolling.

These are things users used to have control over and were removed. Unless a setting in about:config was renamed to something weird and I'm just missing it, the settings that replaced these options are insufficient.

Hello, I very recently changed my Master (Primary) Password and have forgotten the new one, I still remember my old one, but that is irrelevant. Is there any way I would be able to get into see my saved passwords as I have no other access to them other than on this specific device. I do not want to reset my password and lose all saved data.

I clicked on “set up a recovery key” and it was shown on the screen; however, before I could copy it, it disappeared from the screen. How can I retrieve it or reset it?

Per the notification in my browser, I allowed the latest version of Firefox to download and install on the next launch. Imagine my surprise when none of my startup websites would load when I launched Firefox the next day. I have been battling to get to a point where I can work for the past 1.5 hours, with multiple crash reports being generated to both Apple and Mozilla. Is there a bug in updating profiles that worked fine in 136 to work in 137? If I work under a new profile, sites will load, but I don't have my bookmarks or add-ons that I use regularly. I've tried clearing my cache, I even tried rolling back to version 136. But 136 just automatically updates to 137 because it's a new profile. I cannot find a way to import my old 136 profile into a 137 new profile because all the help files I can find give menu directions I don't seem to have.

When dragging or selecting a tab it forcibly moves it to the end of the tab bar.

As it would if you pressed move tab to the end, But without actually selecting it. Not sure why it's doing this and nothing is selected and it didn't happen before the update. And it only happens every once in a while.

Greetings,

I have been using ⌥⌘\ (command + option + backslash) as an extension shortcut for 1 password (versions 6 and 7) for many years, but since I have updated the app to 1pass8; Firefox now does not allow the use of the backslash for the extension shortcut. When I attempt to change that shortcut, a small popup window says, “Choose a letter”.

I am still able to use the shortcut on another computer, but the app is a previous version: 1pass7. I spoke to 1pass tech department and they said its a Firefox limitation.

Is there any way I can get that extension to work for this app again?

Mac Ventura 1password 8 extension Firefox Version 136.0.4

Many thanks,

Pete

I have hundreds of bookmarks imported from Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox on older computers. Many of the bookmarks are duplicates, and many located in different, misnamed sub-folders should be moved to more relevant folders.

The bookmark manager is not the easiest tool to use for reorganizing bookmarks because the Results Detail section changes its focus each time a bookmark file is dragged to a different folder or sub-folder. This forces the user to bounce back and forth in the Bookmark Manager in attempts to find the sub-folder they cleaning up.

If the contents of the Bookmark Manager could be downloaded as a CSV file or spreadsheet; more query tools could be implemented to reorganize the data. Once that is accomplished; the Bookmark Manager could be purged and the organized data could be reinstalled. That would make the Bookmark Manager operate more efficiently and therefore more quickly.

Suddenly, in last period I cannot open forms for verification, KYC precodures, chat windows. I deleted cookies from Mozilla settings but I lost all saved sites autmomastci access and I should install again, but nothing changed in forms for verification, KYC precodures, chat windows, are opened and close after one second,something do not allow to be appeared in screen. I tried icognito mode as customer support of a saved site told me but nothing changed. I scanned my pc with virus software installed but nothing appears as problem. What I must do in order to see again my favourite site forms and chat windows? I use Win 10, and latest Mozill version.

I have auto update enabled. I would like to disable the notification webpage that is shown when and that Firefox has been updated. Is there any way to do this? TLDR: How do I remove the "What's new" webpage that starts every time Firefox is updated.

I work with a web platform where images can be optionally served from cloud storage, S3 in our case. This redirects image requests to a URL containing a dynamic signature which changes per request. For example, to load an image, the browser might do:

-> GET https://www.example.com/file.php/image01.jpg <- HTTP/2 303 See Other

 expires: Thu, 03 Apr 2025 11:23:44 GMT
 cache-control: public, max-age=14400
 location: https://[site].amazonaws.com/...filename%3D%22image01.jpg%22&X-Amz-Signature=...123

and the browser follows the redirect to get the image:

-> GET https://[site].amazonaws.com/...filename%3D%22image01.jpg%22&X-Amz-Signature=...123 <- 200 OK

But if I refresh the page the signature is now different:

-> GET https://www.example.com/file.php/image01.jpg <- HTTP/2 303 See Other

 expires: Thu, 03 Apr 2025 11:24:03 GMT
 cache-control: public, max-age=14400
 location: https://[site].amazonaws.com/...filename%3D%22image01.jpg%22&X-Amz-Signature=...abc

The browser doesn't have this URL cached so it again fetches the image:

-> GET https://[site].amazonaws.com/...filename%3D%22image01.jpg%22&X-Amz-Signature=...abc <- 200 OK

In Firefox that is. In Chrome there's the same following of the redirect when the page is first loaded, but when the page is refreshed the redirect has been cached:

-> GET https://www.example.com/file.php/image01.jpg <- HTTP/2 303 See Other (from disk cache)

 location: https://[site].amazonaws.com/...filename%3D%22image01.jpg%22&X-Amz-Signature=...123

Since the redirect is now to the same URL the image is fetched from the browser cache. Obviously subsequent page loads are faster on Chrome, much faster on image-heavy pages (for example, 6 seconds on Chrome, 1+ minutes on Firefox).

Is there anything I can do to improve this?

Tested with Firefox 136.0.2 and Chrome 134.0.6998.35.

This looks a little bit like [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1889840 #1889840 will never use an entry in the image cache when loading an image top level that has a redirect] but I think that's referring to images with static URLs.

Hi, I am a new Firefox user. Since installing the browser, I have not been able to copy and paste data. I get the message:"Use shortcuts keys. Your browser can't access the clipboard, so use these shortcuts: Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, CTRL + V". Unfortunately, shortcuts do not work either. I checked also Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C) Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V) Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X) but this is only for Mac. So nothing is working. What is the other option to make shortcuts available?

Thank you, Aneta
