This often happens when I’m using it to play music. It’s also restarted when I’m trying to watch a video, read a web page or, once, when I was part way through setting up login details for a new bank account. I want to apply updates when it’s convenient for me, not when Firefox decides to update. So, how do I prevent my activities being interrupted by Firefox update?

I appreciate that it’s important to keep it up to date but I’m not happy when my activities are interrupted because Firefox decides that it needs to update itself. I suppose one approach would be to apply updates every day when I start Firefox however; I often have a specific task in mind when I start it so I really don’t want the distraction of having to update first.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far. None of these have stopped Firefox restarting itself:

On the Settings page: Select “Check for updates but let you choose to install them” Disable “Use a background service to install updates”

Since the above didn’t stop the Firefox restarts, I tried: Select “Automatically install updates (recommended)” with “When Firefox is not running”

In 'about:config' : Set 'app.update.auto', to FALSE. Set ‘app.update.background.interval’ to 31536000 (i.e. 1 year) Set ‘app.update.interval’ to 31536000 (i.e. 1 year)

       Set 'app.update.auto.migrated' to FALSE.

In Windows Registry Editor, set: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001

Used Win 10 to disable the “Mozilla Maintenance Service”: FF still restarts when I’m trying to use it. Also renamed the updater exe to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updaterXXX.exe": auto update still runs (and installs a new updater.exe).

Linux-style absolute path for URLs not working on Windows

Hello,

On Windows chromium-based browsers, the links with linux-style urls : "/path/to/file" are expanded to "/<current device letter>/path/to/file" which can prove pretty handy.

Example: A local "D:\html\index.html" file declaring a '<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/file.js"></script>' will have the "src" expanded to "file:///D:/js/file.js".

Of course on this particular example, it would be easy to use relative paths but "absolute" paths can be useful when referencing shared common files (javascript, css, ...). This way, an html file can be tested locally (without a local server) before being deployed as-is on a server.

Unfortunately, on Firefox there seems to be no such mechanism, unless I have missed something...

Is there any plan to add such a feature?

Hello, on one of my computers I have my new tab set to have 10 rows of pinned links. I went to `about:config` and copied the `browser.newtabpage.pinned` string. I then pasted it into the string on a new device I'm setting up, but it doesn't do anything.

Is there any way to get this working? My new tab on the device I'm setting up has none of the pinned links, just sites I commonly visit

Thanks, let me know if I need to provide any more information.

Is it possible to make a link open a new tab with "Find in Page" automatically enabled so that people do not have to ctrl-F or click on "edit" to have the search open (as many people do not even know that option is there !!!) ?

Please help! Why was this change made? Is there a setting I need to fix?

FF 115.02 Win11

I fill in many repeated responses, such as DOB, zip code, etc. I was using Edge for a while and have forgotten the benefits of FF. Does it remember? Can I edit or delete the ones that are no longer relevant or have changed - age, for instance?

Thank you.

I've seen in many places that cmd+` should allow me to switch between windows within an app on Mac. For me, it only works in Safari and other native Mac apps. It does not work in Firefox. I have the latest Mac OS and the latest version of Firefox. Is there a solution to this? I would LOVE for this shortcut to work, since I'm also a Windows user and it's the closest thing to the Windows window-switching shortcut.
