Firefox-Hilfeforum

Greetings... I would like to increase the font size in right click menu box in FF 89.0 (64-bit) (see attached png)

I found a similar 2018 query here at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1241117#answer-1174375

and based on that exchange I added the following to userChrome.css file

/* FONT SIZE IN RIGHT CLICK MENU BOXES 5/1/22 */

1. mainPopupSet menuitem,
2. mainPopupSet menu { font-size: 16pt !important; }

/* */

I closed and reopened FF. This change has no effect on the menu font no matter what font-size value I enter. Have I done something wrong?

Firefox is still automatically downloading files to a default directory, even though I have selected "Always ask you where to save files". This is a security risk. I want to be asked BEFORE the file is downloaded so I can choose the location or choose not to download. Thanks...Jim.

please take off the red add, the pop up total add sign that keeps popping up asking to paid for the add block I am 82 and on a fixed budget. I do not want this service. How do I get it off my computer. When I want to print an article from an e mail.I always have to remove it to save an e mail, or when I want to print an article, I read it later, and I see the total ad block on my printed article stuck on the printed page blocking out what I printed. Its very annoying to have to take it off the screen before I print anything. Please help me. George at [removed email from public]

Hi,

I was very disappointed earlier on today when I saw the many add-ons you can choose from, for the 1st time, and tried to install one I really liked on my desktop (which runs on XP PRO).

The add-on is called "I Don't Mind Cookies". It wouldn't install as I needed to update the version of Firefox I currently used and provided me with a link to facilitate this.

I followed all instructions throughout and surprisingly quickly I found it completed, and had message confirming the successful update of OS to ver.59 2.

Returned to add-on above and tried to install it again. I must say I felt even more disappointed when the same error message appeared. Clearly, the add-on was not so sure I'd done as directed; either that or it perhaps it got confused and then passed it on to me...

Can anyone help me, please, as I've had an awful outing this week trying to get our Sky Account sorted - my repeated attempts to get 2 things sorted culminated with my last call taking well over 2hrs, involving 5 different departments and a total of 7 agents - thankfully, I only had to tell 4 of them the whole sorry tale in full and although this sad episode was finally resolved (well, sort of), I'm not confident I'll ever be quite the same again.

I cannot removed total adblock and especially the ad for total adblock. I tried to follow the instructions, but they do not bring up the menu that they are supposed to bring up. HELP

Why why why why is FF forcing download of pdf files? It is a horrible problem for me.

Especially because I am a university prof and, in the classroom, constantly display (my own!) files from the course management system on the classroom devices. I DO NOT WANT MY FILES SAVED ONTO THE (PUBLIC) CLASSROOM DEVICE. Never mind multiple copies as it will download EACH AND EVERY TIME I open it.

I have been looking everywhere for a solution or a way to disable this feature, there seems to be no such option but I am seeing a lot of posts from people who object to this as much as I do.

After many many years of loyally using FF and a paid subscriber to some Mozilla services, I am afraid I am going to have to give up using FF is this isn't fixed NOW.

Hello Support:

My MacBookPRO OS was updated to Monterey 12.3.1 I lost my favored settings in Firefox. The Firefox settings loaded to default settings

. I would like to recover my Firefox settings. Is this possible? Is there a step by step "punch card" list to get the set back for the former state?

Hi guys:

I use Firefox on a Mac (Big Sur OS), and all of a sudden when I updated to the latest Firefox version -- each time I click on Firefox it opens in a new window other than the one I'm working on which is **really** annoying! What can I do to prevent this? Is there some adjustment in preferences I'm not aware of? Please help!!

Thanks much,

Kelli

Hello. With version 100.0 came multi-language spellchecking. I would like to know how exactly does it work, please.

For instance, if I enable both English and French, will it simply virtually add the two dictionaries and use the resulting combined list of words? Or will it try to understand if a paragraph or sentence is English and mark non-English words in that paragraph/sentence as incorrect even if they are French?

I am obviously asking this because there is no detailed information at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker.

hi,

My firefox is downloading all the adobe files even though i have turned of the auto download option. Also whenever any pdf file i try, it gives me an option of open with or save file. I am trying open with & firefox still downloads that file to my system. Can anyone help

I have been a "light theme" user for 15+ years. Since updating to 96.0 today, a dark mode spreading across Firefox has been forced onto me, including:

• New tab background
• Background of any tab waiting to load a page
• Google/Youtube background
• Settings/add-ons/password menu backgrounds
• Automatic username/password drop-down background
• Background of the little box that appears on the bottom-left (the one which shows the URL when you mouse over a link)

I am unhappy with this and wish to have my usual theme back. Can anyone please assist?

(In addition, there is some sort of white border around the current tab, which I do not like)

I wanted to adjust some system preferences after installing the new FF 100 OS. Found I can't, either by menu or by keyboard shortcut. How do I get my access back? Using Mac OS 10.13.6. Do I need to go back to previous FF 99 version?

Thank you Rob

Firefox just updated with version 100 and I've lost (or can't find) the option to restore my last session. What's up with that? I need help please.

Hi, yesterday I noticed a blue color in the menu bar tabs when I hover over them with a mouse. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be light gray before. How do I change it back?? It looks terrible and the tabs are barely readable when highlighted in blue. See the screenshot.

Before version 98 of Firefox, it would remember where I downloaded files to based on what site I'm downloading the file from. For example: when I would download a statement PDF from American Express, the Firefox download prompt would automatically be navigated to <...documents\records\AmEx\statements>. Then, when I would go to download something like the latest Firefox installer, the download prompt would automatically start in the folder <...programs\standard programs\Firefox>. No navigation needed in either case. Now, with version 98, all Firefox can remember is the last place I downloaded to, with no memory of site context. (This includes sites I've been to more than once since the update to version 98.)

This was a very convenient, time-saving feature. Is there any way to restore this site-contextual memory of download directories?

(I tried searching through existing questions, but my apologies if I missed an existing question on this topic.)

Thank you!

I'm going to copy paste the text from another question as it seems to have been archived with no solution. This has apparently been a problem since at least 2018. It's really weird that the devs took away the options to remove recentlyBookmarked from the about:config. This might be a dealbreaker for me. Anyway the copy/paste:

"Hopefully there is enough info in the title about what I'm hoping someone can answer,

But if there isn't then here are the ssteps to observe the "problem"

1. Tap on the "hamburger" menu 2. Tap on the "Library" menu 3. Tap on the "Bookmarks" menu 4. Observe the bookmarks listed under the section "Recently Bookmarked"

Advice for previous Firefox versions suggested right clicking on the Library to get a context menu that allowed you to uncheck "Recently Bookmarked" Other advice suggested hacking "About:Config" to set the key "browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked" to "False" is now defunct because the key no longer exists, and recreating the key in Firefox 80 doesn't appear to have an effect.

So, how do I clear the "Recently Bookmarked" foder, or turn it off?"
