Firefox Community Forum

Hello. I have two questions about settings. 1. I want to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu. 2. I want to hide the "Original Profile" option from the options that appear when you click the Firefox hamburger menu.

I'm asking about these two points. 1. I'm trying to hide the "Take Screenshot" option, but I couldn't find a solution even after searching. about:config ↓ extensions.screenshots.disabled ↓ From true to false ↓ Even restarting Firefox didn't hide the "Take Screenshot" option. 2. Regarding hiding the "Original Profile," I can't find any information about this option, so is it impossible to hide it? I'm asking about these two points.

I had to remove the Recommended stories from the home page. every source was a left leaning outlet. How is someone supposed to get a balanced news snapshot if all the sources have the same biased tilt?

I changed nothing in settings, and doubled back and checked, still set to open windows/tabs where left off, and not to delete site data/cookies when closed, but every time I open the app, nothing, no history, no tabs, have to re-sign-in to everything. Why might this be, as it didn't seem like an update happened in line with this occuring, or anything at all for that matter that would change how things behave.

So, my issue started off with just new tabs loading slow/not properly loading at all. So I attempted a Firefox refresh as I've seen some people suggest only to see that there was no Firefox refresh button in my settings. So I went through the process of uninstalling it, but was paused when it prompted me to perform a Firefox refresh, but it did nothing. So I went and actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it and nothing changed except for the fact that now my New Tab page was completely blank and I couldn't search anything at all. I restarted my laptop to see if it'd help (it didn't) But when I went to try and uninstall it again, it wasn't listed in with my apps so I just deleted it. I installed it again, still nothing. Did the previous step of deleting it and reinstalling it again and still nothing. As a last ditch effort, I tried to install a slightly different version of Firefox and although I had to go through the whole process of installing it this time, the result is still the same with my New Tab being completely blank and I'm unable to search anything or even open the settings Honestly about ready to change browsers even though I've only been using it for about four days

I use Firefox on both my work and home computer as well as my Android phone. I have for years, and until I got a Surface 8 Pro with Windows 11 Home (in case that matters), the behavior across devices was generally consistent, especially after I created a profile and signed into it across all of my devices. Firefox on that device, though, has given me a couple weird differences/issues.

First, I've noticed that the pop-up blocker seems much more "sensitive" on my home computer than on any other devices. A link I click on on my home computer will trigger the pop-up blocker, whereas my work computer will just send me to the link. An example where I see a different behavior is on the Wordle home page: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html. When I click the light bulb at the top on my home computer, the pop-up blocker is triggered, but when I do the same from my work computer, it just goes straight to the link that icon is for.

Now more recently, I've found that sound from a webpage (say YouTube) played on my home computer comes out of the speakers regardless of whether there's a device in the audio jack, which of course my work computer does not do. I've confirmed it's a Firefox problem and not a larger device problem, as other programs output to the audio jack when something is plugged in there just fine.

I've tried resetting my device obviously, and I've even tried doing a Firefox refresh, progressively deleting more and more profile information, and finally uninstalling Firefox completely, removing the Mozilla folder in %APPDATA%, and removing the registry entries that Revo Uninstaller identified, to try to make it as close as possible to the "factory" default, all to no avail.

Images appear fine, but lately I cannot see embedded videos on websites when I'm browsing. This is a recent change (past couple of weeks).

I can view the same videos using another browser, so I think this is a firefox setting possibly.

Please help make me the best use of good practices of professionals and learn from their browsing experiences including DOs and Don'ts to make my browsing experience simple, safe and secure .

Restore previous session, in history, is an important setting. It has now disappeared completely as an option even though restore windows and tabs is ticked. Need to go deeper than the superficial help .

Hello. i noticed that my shortcuts are missing. i went to settings to check if it's enabled (check mark) and it is in fact enabled. tried to reset my computer and the shortcuts are still not there. on the main firefox page there is actually no shortcut icons on there...at all. all of the options in settings work with the exception (of course) the shortcuts. i would like to know why this is happening...thx

”Using my HP Notebook computer, BOOKMARKS (in Mozilla/Firefox): Who governs my access to my list, which disappeared on 2/20/2026. It looks like Google (i.e., Yahoo) has taken control of this function……….and, if I set up Sync on my computer, how will my current DEFAULT YAHOO EMAIL be impacted?”

Almost every time I open up Firefox it has a little pop-up under the tool bar asking "Open Firefox every time you restart your computer?", and every time I select "Not now", which I guess is intended as only a temporary answer. How can I permanently say "No" and keep this from popping up constantly?

Hi Team,

I’m currently conducting a DevOps training session and we are using Firefox to inspect headers for a web app running inside a local Docker container (localhost:8080).

We've noticed that occasionally the 'Network' tab in DevTools fails to show the full response headers for our nginx proxy, even after clearing the cache. It works fine in other browsers, but I prefer using Firefox for our students because of the superior CSS Grid and Flexbox tools.

Is there a specific setting in about:config that might be limiting the capture of headers for local loopback addresses?

Thanks for the help!
