Firefox-Hilfeforum

I use thousands of text replacement shortcuts on my Mac, which are all honored by Safari, Chrome and virtually every other browser, but not FireFox. What's up with that?

Is it possible to change the displayed folder in the Bookmark Toolbar? So that not the folder "Bookmarks Toolbar" is used, but a self-selected?

Benefit:

For example, a Firefox sync account is used across multiple devices. But the most important pages differ from device to device (e.g. work/private). Accordingly, a different folder should be displayed in the Bookmarks Toolbar on different devices.

I am on a Apple Silicon MacMini M1 ARM running the latest Mac OS of Ventura. why does Firefox think I am on an Intel machine under Mac OSx 10.15 when I am on Mac OS Ventura? I assume that Mozilla does not have a ARM version or is this a configuration issue? Or is there a different issue at play here?

Hi,

When I try to sign on to my bank, PNC, I always get annoying two step verification. The problem is with Firefox. When I use troubleshoot, this does not happen. When I use Chrome it does not happen. It does not happen on mobile. Help!

Thank You, Leslie

I am using the latest version of Firefox on the latest version of Mac OS Ventura, 13.3.1 (a). I wanted to have a sidebar showing the websites bookmarked in my toolbar. In researching how to do this, it said I needed to use the menu button at the top left of the address bar to do this. The only thing is I have no menu button! Can you please tell me how to add the menu botton to my address bar so I can use the options it affords. I have added a screenshot of this Firefox window so you can see there is no menu button here.

I would very much appreciate it if you would get back to me as soon as possible so I can make Firefox more workable for me.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Firefox automatically updated and now tabs sync, which I absolutely hate and want to implode the Earth because this even exists. I go to the options to turn off the stupid pointless sync and oh wait it doesn't turn off. The box is not checked. Tabs still sync and display a worthless icon on my taskbar because apparently Mozilla thinks I'm such an idiot I need AN EXTRA FRICKING ICON to tell me I have open tabs in my browser.

So how do I actually turn this trashbag "feature" off if it's not by deselecting it in the "Sync" panel, since that doesn't work?

Hi there,

I've been using Firefox for year, but since about last week I've developed an issue where I can't use Soundcloud. As soon as I go on the website, there's about a 5-second wait, while it tries to load, before it crashes the browser and I have to restart it.

I've tried switching off all my ad-blockers, etc. but that hasn't worked. I have Privacy Badget, Disconnect, AdBlock and AdBlock Plus.

I've just noticed that the website works on Private browsing mode.

I love Firefox, but Soundcloud is the website I visit the most, so in a bit of a predicament. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi, I reinstalled MacOs and when I tried to re sync all my data was lost. I changed the password because I could't remember it. I lost markers passwords, please please someone help me. Please help! thanks

Loving FireFox more and more, but if there is one feature I really miss from Safari is the Touch ID autofill password. Is there a possibility it'll come in future updates ?

How do I fix this? When I attempt to go to this site on my iMac using DuckDuckGo VPN on Mozilla FireFox, ( https://www.bible.com/ )-- I get this: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

Greetings, After updating to 113.0 the height of my tabs has doubled, with the text size remaining the same. When visiting certain sites, such as Facebook, a horizontal black line appears when the tab is selected, dividing the tab and the text within in half. I have spent a few hours Googling and I haven't found any solutions to fix this. I've tried several different settings in about:config, I've enabled compact mode, just about everything I could find short of modifying code which I would rather not do. It's useful space for me and I'm hoping for a fix. Thanks for Your Time, Thomas

when i click on a firefox tab it opens in a new window - how do I stop this?

Already tried going about:config and changing 'browser.tabs.allowTabDetach`, and set its value to `false` and it is not working. Advise.

Hello,

I had to deactivate 2FA briefly, and then attempted to use a reactivate it again. I am able to scan a QR, but when I try to enter the OTP codes that show up, I receive the following message "Incorrect two-step authentication code". This has happened with Raivo and Authy (the previous 2FA app). What is causing this?

Whenever I open a link in a new tab from a pinned tab (using ctl-click "open in new tab" or cmd+clicking) it switches to that tab, even with "switch to new tab immediately" disabled. I would like it to just open the new tab and not switch to it, but I can't find any option in the settings or about:config that would change it. Is there any way to do this?

The closed captioned text is out of sync with the video. The captioning is running well ahead (20-30 seconds) of the video, which renders it nearly worthless. Can I sync picture and text somehow, or is that in the domain of the content provider?

Hi folks! Am setting up my Firefox again after a laptop repair and finally decided to try out customising my theme.

I am having difficulty finding the settings to tweak colours for the following (areas highlighted in red in image):

• Sidebar background (the lighter part of it) - is this area something I can tweak from Firefox, or is it controlled by the extension's dev?
• bookmarks bar text colour -- i don't see any options to modify the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox Colour. Currently it's really hard to see the text :/
• Right hand dropdown menu background and text colours -- can I tweak these? Where do I find the setting?

TIA!
