Firefox-Hilfeforum

I have switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.1 and am having trouble creating website shortcuts now. With Windows I used the following method

• [Support - Create a desktop shortcut to a website]

From my research it looks this is supposed to work with Ubuntu as well? It is not working for me, is this possible?

Hallo und guten Tag,

ich möchte gern mehrere websites als Startseite haben, wenn ich den Firefox browser öffne. Wie das geht wird auf der Firefox Seite sehr gut erklärt.

Zwar ist es mir gelungen, google als Startseite durch drag & drop auf das Haus Symbol zu ziehen. Jetzt würde ich habe gern weitere Registerkarten als Startseite festlegen.

Wenn ich (wie in der Erklärung) jedoch auf die Menüschaltfläche mit den drei Strichen klicke und danach auf "Startseite" klicke, ist das Fenster "Startseite und neue Fenster" leider inaktiv, so dass ich nicht weiterkomme. Wie kann ich dieses inaktive Fenster aktivieren. Wo liegt der Fehler.

Ich hoffe sehr, dass mir bei diesem Problem jemand helfen kann und würde mich über eine Antwort sehr freuen. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Beste Grüße, Sabine

For some reason I cant get my touch keyboard to come up when I select a text box. it works fine on chrome and Edge but not Firefox. any idea how to get it working?

for details I am on a windows 10 device

Suddenly Outlook has added two columns to the left hand pane.

Is it possible to get rid of them as they just clutter up the page?

I have attached a screenshot and hope it comes out.

Thank you for your help.....Anthony

Hello,

I love Firefox's reader mode's "Listen" or read aloud function. I use it all the time for my academic papers as it helps to drill the information into my head to read and listen to the content.

However, there was an 11x4 table with only numbers in each table cell, and I could not get the read aloud narrator to jump ahead to a later section. When I hit the "Forward" or skip ahead button, it just went to the next cell, and it was a very clunky experience getting to the end of the table.

Does anyone know a way to skip ahead in the content, such as skipping a table or selecting a point in the content to begin reading aloud?

Thanks a ton in advance! It's an incredible community that we have here. Max

Control_Shift_Delete brings up some options for deleting stuff. There's cache and cookies amongst others. So as my Firefox folder in Users was getting huge I thought I'd trim things down so I checked just cache. But when I continued I had to log in to my sites again. Why? Shouldn't the cookies that I didn't delete take care of that? What went wrong? I do not want to eliminate cookies, just whatever is taking up so much space. ( I have a small C drive.)

Hi,

The "Take a Screenshot" function is excellent.

When I take a screenshot and click "Copy" to copy it to the clipboard, a pop-up above the taskbar is shown: "Shot Copied Your shot has been copied to the clipboard. Press CTRL-V to paste."

It is displayed for approx. 10 seconds unless the X in the top-right corner of the pop-up is clicked. Is there a way to perform this function but suppress the pop-up (e.g. in about:config)?

Thank you.

I want to try the new Proton UI for Firefox. I followed all these steps: 1. Go to "about:config". 2. Search for "proton" and set the "browser.proton.enabled" from false to true. 3. Restart Firefox.

But that didn't work. Is the Proton UI no longer supported in Windows 7? Or some other problem...

How do I engage in language I do not read write or understand? I believe the language is Latin? And I'm not really sure. Either way how do have it become English?

does the firefox for windows have touchpad gestures for forward and backward like chrome and edge, and if it does, is there a way to enable them. this is the only feature in edge that is preventing me from switching to firefox.

I have two problems with my browser. 1) On Windows 10 I get the push notifications if the browser not in full-screen mode but if you do full-screen you get no push notifications so that leads me to my other problem, I wanted to put the firefox app in the priority list for Windows 10 notifications but the Firefox symbol will not show up on their list of apps, why not?

My FF is set so that PDF files are downloaded automatically. In principle, this should remain that way. Now, however, I would like a few PDF files from my own disk to be opened directly instead. I have thought up a workaround for this - which unfortunately (STILL?) doesn't work properly:

1) The files in question (so far only one, as a test) are renamed *.PXX. 2) In Win I have defined that these *.PXX files should NOT be opened with my generally used PDF programme, but with Adobe Acrobat. This WORKS. 3) Now I had to define in FF that PXX should be treated differently from PDF. I haven't managed to do that yet - the files are still written to the download folder - RENAMED *.PDF 4) Meanwhile I found some (as far as I know) "unused" extensions in FF, amog them *.IRC. So, I renamed my *.PXX-file *.IRC and defined in FF that *.IRC-files should be opend by Adobe Acrobat. 5) NEVERTHELESS - disregarding this definition - the *.IRC-files are NOT opened but "downloaded" to the download-folder AND renamed *.PDF

Does anyone haven an idea?

I want to take a screenshot of web page. Pressing PrtScn by itself or with Fn or Windows key simply brings up the dialog box that says Pressing F7 turns Caret Browsing on or off... Why is it so difficult?
