Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.

Hi!

I like to have my browsing history cleared after I quit Firefox, but I found out that this will break the action to open previous windows and tabs.

How to have these two options live together?

Is there any way I can completely disable horizontal scrolling? I'm using a laptop with a trackpoint (lenovo x230, Windows 10) and it's not terribly accurate, which means scrolling whilst a youtube video is going often makes it track backwards or forwards, and another website I use uses a horizontal click to send me to the next page, which sucks. I would prefer to just be able to disable it entirely. Thanks!

I swear to god I used to have it disabled, just need to work out how again.

I recently installed new pc with fresh Firefox Developer Edition. Then I transfered the profile folder from old pc to the new pc. All bookmarks, addons, etc is there. Just the XULRunner popup appears only on the new pc. I uninstalled firefox on the new pc again and reinstalled it with profile cleaning. After profile cleaning firefox got faster and addons got removed. But the XULRunner popup keeps appearing. When I go to taskscheduler and trigger the "Firefox Developer Edition Background Update CA9422711AE1A81C" again, the XULRunner popup appears. Removing this taskscheduler and Firefox keeps readding it and the XULRunner popup are back. Any idea how I can get rid of the XULRunner popup?

Hi,

with a lot of effort I edited three times all my container entries at about:preferences#containers, but the changes were not overtaken correctly.

Now I want to start from the scratch without having to create a new Firefox profile. How can I delete the container entries permanently ? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, but the entries were still there afterwards.

Thanks

Lately in Google Drive I get this error when I select one image or a file: Impossible load details. Retry. I have Firefox 108 version, on Edge and Chrome all is OK. Also the troubleshoot mode doesn't resolve the problem.

Dear Firefox, It is a matter of great regret that your popular browser has failed to sync back my saved bookmarks and other data once i reinstalled firefox. This issue is not new as it happened to me before.. Last time I didn't bother as I thought this might be an bug but today once I reinstalled firefox and signed in.. It seemed that firefox has yet once again failed to syn all my bookmarks, data, extensions etc... It is a huge pain as I cant keep on repeating myself to save all the extensions and preferences.. please solve this issue or I wll have to seek other browsers

Had to refresh Firefox but lost my bookmark sidebar & can't find a way to re-establish it. Used to be a setting for it at the top of the home page but none now. Can't find it in settings.

I have a big problem with password security. While checking my passwords I see bad passwords, I click to remove and next day they are back again. I have deleted approximately 20 to 30 passwords and almost all have returned? Something is seriously wrong and I am almost positive a hacker has gotten into the computer? Anything else I can check???

I recently bought a drawing tablet for some editing and I edit pictures on a website but every time I move the pen vertically on this browser it scrolls up and down accordingly and so far none of the settings have been helpful for stopping this.

Hi,

i have set my home page to blank. Recently i noticed, that when i start firefox and visit a site, my arrow history (i don't know what it's actually called; the linear browsing history you navigate using those arrows) has the blank page as first entry. I don't want that first entry. How can i get rid of it? (And why is it called "chrome://browser/content/blanktab.html"?) When i open a site in a new tab, i don't have that blank page entry in the arrow history. So it seems like it must be possible to get rid of it.

Same problem with private browsing. The first page is always "about:privatebrowsing".

I'm using Firefox version 108.0 on Linux Mint.

It's only a small annoyance, but i really appreciate being less annoyed.

Thanks

Hi,

Some pages are showing incorrectly after migration to the version 108.0.

For example Azure Data Factory page is looking like in the picture 001.png. But it should looks like this in the picture 002.png.

I am on Manjaro Linux and installed the update to Firefox 108. The result is an unwieldy, unhelpful interface that is the opposite of the efficiency claimed by Mozilla. I can't close tabs, I can't even easily find them. The top bar gives me two controls with identical function: both show "Save to Pocket" and "Customise toolbar..."

Could you tell me how I can close tabs, please? If I can't, then I'll be adding to an endless history, probably making the browser slower and slower.

Who asked for these changes? In what way are they they helpful to me?

I used to get images off web pages easily, now I just get an html link, which when I try and copy to powerpoint presentation, just gives me the link address and not the image! Very slow and unusable in the end. please help me to get to jpg or png as before.

Why did you all of a sudden completely eliminate tabs? I don't want to have to click a drop-down menu to view my tabs, or now have to right click on a tab in menu to delete one. I just want to see tabs, as they normally should be, all lined up in a row when I look up at my screen. WHY did you change this?!!

I just upgraded to FF 108 and every time I open Google search page and search for anything, FF freezes. I tried to restart in troubleshooting mode and the very same thing happens. The problem doesn't exist on any other page, just Google search. Same thing happens when searching from the search bar. I tried searching with "duckduckgo" and there is no issue.
