I prefer to use Startpage as my search engine with Firefox on my Mac. I have that set up, but it's so annoying that when I put something in the address or search bar, no search happens. Instead, I just get the Startpage home page and then have to retype the same thing in there! How do I solve this?

Is there a way to customize keyboard shortcuts through about:? If there is, it should be explained here, or if it's explained somewhere else, there should be a link here to that page. There are some utilities that are supposed to do that. One of them worked through Tools > Options, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't figure out how to use it. Another add-on lets you add shortcuts, but doesn't let you delete an exiting shortcut. I want to remove the keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+Shift+A. I have no idea how to do it.

I love Foxfire and have supported you for years but am now past 80, been relocated to a senior living complex and can not figure out how to get back on line with the services available here after hooking me up to Spectrum....HELP!!bold text

I am using Firefox and Mendeley Reference Manager on a Macbook Air. For days I have been unable to use Mendeley Web Importer. I have it installed in Firefox I have used the latest software for Mendeley Web Importer 3.0 (I was made to believe that it is the latest version), I have refreshed Firefox and I have even deleted Firefox and reinstalled on my computer, I have tried customizing Firefox. The symbol for Mendeley Web Importer does not show up ind the collection of similar Add-ons (I hope that this is the correct term).

I would safe me quite a bit of time, if I could use the web importer. Can you help?

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE! This is not written correctly! Someone please help with this or correct the code. I tried different ways to do this and nothing works ---- I am beyond frustrated with it.

Security features warning

You may see a warning that “some of Firefox’s security features may offer less protection on your current operating system”.

The sandbox in Firefox makes use of unprivileged user namespaces when creating new processes for enforcing more security. This can be considered a security risk, therefore some Linux distributions have started to restrict its usage and only allow it to work where there is an AppArmor profile.

Such profiles can only cover a limited set of installations paths, including Snap and Debian packages. They cannot however cover some other use cases, such as tarball installations as well as local development builds.

To create an AppArmor profile for Firefox:

In /etc/apparmor.d/, create a file with the name firefox-local

In the file, add the following:

1. This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
2. application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile firefox-local /home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater} flags=(unconfined) {

   userns,
   # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
   include if exists <local/firefox>

}

Replace <USER> with your Linux user name. This assumes the Firefox install is at $HOME/bin/

Once you have saved the file, run sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service in the Linux terminal.

Hi,

For the past few weeks (or more) Firefox will not start up in one of my Mac user profiles. Please find attached a screenshot of the dialog it shows when I try to start it up.

I forget what happened, but I think it has to do with an update to macOS and (perhaps) not agreeing to all security measures that Firefox asked for…

For now, I’m working in DuckDuckGo in this user profile, but I thought I’d ask in case anybody can save me the research time to figure this out on my own.

Thanks for reading.

Hi : We are planning out server farm capacity, network gear needed, for a new site for our AI micro-services. We are curious when do you think that Firefox will support TLS 1.4 ? and will the overhead/utilization difference be between TLS 1.4 and 1.3 which we currently use exclusively. I understand that we are talking servers, and FireFox is a browser, but we cant dig up any real-world stats on the workload difference between the two. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time Albert Baker.

My sister hit some sort of weird shortcut and now most websites are broken and have weirdly inverted colors, mostly google sites. Gmail is weird, Google Docs are weird, and a LOT more but too lazy to keep track/pull em up. Absolutely no clue what to do, and I dont really wanna factory reset my browser, so if someone by any miracle could tell me what shortcut she hit, thatd be helpful.

You managed to change my password for accessing AMAZON to a very long password that has never worked so far for the last two months! So, I have been denied a site I use to use regularly and you still deny a human to ask for help, only your jog-related jargon!

I would hate to sue you but AMAZON may help me when they hear what you've done to me, and perhaps hundreds of other former customers.

So, help me get back to AMAZON today!
