Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I noticed this on facebook in particular but I want to prevent this behaviour on ALL websites.

I noticed that when I focus away from and back from a facebook tab, sometimes it will blank and reload the page.

I DETEST this behaviour, sometimes the content changes, sometimes it fails and hangs !

Even if it worked properly I NEVER want a webpage to be allowed to do that.

How can I make a page unable to tell when I give it attention.

Here are a couple solutions I would like to see

A toggle button PER TAB, where I can PAUSE script execution entirely. I want the page to load and then all scripting to freeze until I press the unpause button (except for whitelisted pages). For this I found the addon "Scriptsafe" but it doesn't have a per-tab setting.

Another solution is, no awareness allowed to the page about losing or gaining focus. This is also abused by youtube to detect screen shutdown, so I never want pages to know they have lost or regained focus. I want to make them believe they are ALWAYS focused.

How can I do either of these things ?

description in German:

Ich habe vor langer Zeit ein Addon installiert. Jetzt wollte ich Firefox neu dekorieren. Deshalb habe ich das Addon in die Sidebar geschoben. Unten links in der Sidebar war dann der kleine Knopf für das Addon. Dadurch konnte das Addon aber nicht auf den aktuellen Offenen Tab zugreifen, jedenfalls hat es nicht funktioniert wie vorher. Also hab ich auf das add on Rechtsklick gemacht und es aus dem Sidebar gelöscht. Es ist jetzt nicht mehr in der Sidebar.

Leider schaffe ich es jetzt nicht mehr, das Addon wieder als Knopf in der oberen Leiste also über den Lesezeichen zu platzieren. Es taucht noch auf wenn ich den Knopf für Addons drücke, und es aus der Liste auswähle.

Kontext: Firefox on Windows Addon, was ich verschoben habe: Addy.io

Problem: Ich will das Addon wieder schnell öffnen können. Es ist nicht weg, es ist nur woanders.

Wie füge ich es wieder der Symbolleiste (oder dem Overflow Menu) hinzu?

does anyone know how to alphabetize the Simple Tab Groups drop-down list?

i have a lot of groups that are constantly changing position and it makes it a rear bear to find the specific group i need.

it says it can do this, but gives no useful instructions and i've tried every avenue i can think of. i do have this checked in the settings for this feature, but the settings don't seem to communicate with the program very well.

Thanks! wolfgang

Finding conflicting answers when Google searching (not counting irrelevant results), so I thought I'd try asking here. Is there any safe or reliable extension or setting tweak available for Firefox that would automatically make it so YouTube Shorts play with the regular YouTube video player (ie. Replace "/shorts/" in url with "/watch?v=")?

I'm used to using the extension "Пульт". I guess that means "Remote control". After a recent update, this extension has been removed. I received this message: " The Remote control in Firefox has not been tested, so it has been disabled." I want to restore this application and ask for help.
