Firefox View Not Enabled By Default On Update to 106 on Arch Linux

more options

I have recently updated to Firefox 106 on two Arch Linux systems. One of them has Firefox View enabled and working by default, another does not. I looked around and tried some options in about:config to enable it, however it did not work and I reverted the changes. I would like to enable Firefox View on this browser as well, and I would like to know how to enable it.

"TabsToolbar":["firefox-view-button"] would indicate that the Firefox View button should be positioned on the Tab bar.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Hi Harley, Firefox View works like a toolbar button, so it could be mixed in with the other available buttons on the Customize screen. This article will get you in there -- can you find it and drag it where you want it?

Unfortunately, it is also not there.

Hi

Are you using the version in the Arch repo, or are you using the tarball, snap or flatpak versions that are provided by Mozilla?

more options

I am using the version in the Arch repo. I have it installed the same way on another PC, and Firefox View works correctly on that PC, however not on this one.

more options

Can you try one of the Mozilla builds? It may be the case that the maintainer of the Arch build has not included the new feature in their package.

more options

Well as I said the feature is enabled just fine on another Arch PC using the same package. But I can try one of mozilla's builds to see if anything changes, anyway!

more options

The flatpak version also does not have Firefox View for me.

Do you have firefox-view pref on the about:config page?

  • browser.tabs.firefox-view

You can also check the browser.uiCustomization.state pref to see whether that has the firefox-view-button under the "TabsToolbar" key.

firefox-view-button is within that key as well.

The JSON is hard to read, but if you work your ways backwards from "firefox-view-button" to the previous left bracket ([), which toolbar is listed to the left of it? For example:

  • "toolbar-menubar" (optional menu bar)
  • "TabsToolbar" (tabs bar)
  • "nav-bar" (main toolbar)
  • "PersonalToolbar" (Bookmarks Toolbar)
  • "widget-overflow-fixed-list" (pinned to overflow)
  • something else?

You can try "Clear the startup cache..." via the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

Creating a new profile did work. I should be able to copy the data over, so I'm going to attempt that now.
