Is it possible to set a default container to open new tabs per window?

The use case I'm trying to support looks like: 1. Open a Firefox window for personal use 2. Open a Firefox window for work use 3. Press ctrl+t in the work window Expectation: Firefox opens new tab in the "work" container by default

I'm trying to replicate the experience of Chrome profiles, where an entire browser window is dedicated to one profile.

Using `privacy.userContext`, with or without the Multi-Account Containers extension, is there any about:config setting or an extension setting that enables setting a default container for a window in this way?

Up until I completed a software uptate on my mac a few hours ago, I was able to mirror Channels 4 & 5s but now can no longer do it.

I've disabled VPN as I can't get anything to work, but can still mirror BBC channels. Any help please?

Also, not really seeing the benefit of VPN as I always have to disable it e.g. if I want to use maps in my car. Seems a bit redundant as it is permanently off!

Regards

On other browsers I use a key shortcut that moves the browser window from one display to another using the Window menu. On Firefox those options are gone. I have tried restarting in safe mode with no plugins and extensions, and disabling hardware acceleration. Neither restores the menu.

I understand the reason for signing add-ons as they may contain malicious code and need to be verified and all. I understand the reason for signing themes when they are uploaded to the Mozilla Add-ons Store, as they may contain licensed background images. I don't understand why I need to sign my own theme which I don't plan to share or distribute. I know I can use the Firefox Color addon, but it doesn't support GIFs and large images. I tried to download the resulting theme and customize it the way I like, but after that I couldn't use it. The code contained in the theme does not look like it can be modified in any way for malicious purposes, so even if someone downloads my theme, it is unlikely to harm anyone.

So why can't we just use our own themes?

Edit: Oh, and using a Developer Edition and disabling signinature check for all add-ons just to use a custom theme doesn't sound reasonable, so please don't suggest it.

Hi There!

I am trying to find a solution to my issue but impossible... tried to google to find a solution but nothing.

I am trying to print from firefox and when i want to change the paper size i have only "US letter" (check attached picture). I have a mac updated with last os (ventura). I also have the latest version of firefox.

What i tried to do : Delete Firefox + re download and re install Try to delete profile folder of firefox in the library Delete printer + re install printer.

When i try to print from word or safari i have different list of paper size. As soon as i choose an other printer i am able to find different paper size.

Thank you!

I was trying to install this flatpak, however it always saves its flatpakref (fig. 1) instead of opening it via discover.

discover backend works correctly (fig. 2).

$ plasma-discover-backend-flatpak is already at the latest version 5.24.7-0ubuntu0.1~ubuntu22.04~ppa1 plasma-discover-backend-flatpak is already at the latest version 5.24.7-0ubuntu0.1~ubuntu22.04~ppa1

I've setup any flatpakrefs to open via discover (fig. 3), however it won't work. are there anything i've forgot to do?

I download many pdf and Word files each day for marking. Opening pdf files in Adobe Reader works automatically OK, but Word files no. This archived question gives a link to an answer that does not work. "If Firefox does not have a set download action for a type of file, Firefox will save the file by default. If you select Always Open Similar Files in the Downloads panel right-click context menu for the file, (see below) a new Content Type and Action entry will be added to the General panel Applications section of Firefox settings." I went through the Always Open step, but no "Content Type and Action entry" was added.

Judging by the questions in Firefox and more widely, many people are having the same problem. Why cannot the industry standard file types be added to that list by default?

When I have to reinstall Firefox (it is needed frequently), I have to edit/delete a number of unwanted browser search tools. This principle could be used for the list of automatically opened file types as part of Firefox default settings.

Some sites, for example newspapers, have some sort of video around their written news. When I scroll down to read (other news), this video comes with it and jumps down to the low right corner and continue to play. I am not interested, and have to cross it away. This is for Firefox, but not for Safari or Google Chrome. I have tried to find the setting to deactivate this annoying video, but cannot find it. I run iMac 2017, Ventura 13, and Firefox 106.0.3.

One example is on this news article https://www.di.se/analys/lattnadsrally-i-storytel-men-morka-moln-vid-horisonten/

Somehow in the last week my settings have been changed. Now when I open a Firefox browser and NOT in Fullscreen the browser only takes up about 5/8 of my screen. Going to Fullscreen, I lose all the top information like battery power, date, time, FILE, EDIT, VIEW HISTORY ETC, so that is not desirable. How do I get my browser window bigger?

Thnx

Hello! I have a problem with my title bar buttons. No matter which theme I put on, they always have a different color than the rest of the theme (as you can see in the attached image). I tried searching for a solution, but nothing works. I tried troubleshooting, messing with the code (userChrome.css), but it's pointless. Maybe I did something wrong?

I am using firefox for years now the most annoying thing that even make me to change browser is the back arrow. The problem is I am doing work in one page and when I click mouse in any part of the page firefox revert me to the previous page. This thing even make me to break my laptop.

I search for solution and I did get any setting that disable this thing. I want to work the back button on I click it not when I click a cell in google sheet or any button or just blank space on any web page existed in the entire internet. I need to be not selected or disable it erase it or any thing I can live without it.

I have bookmarked some pdf's i have on my pc. Every time i open a pdf from bookmarks, the pop-up box to print the pdf comes. How do i stop this behavior? Also, every time i have to select the spread mode (odd/even) when i open the pdf. Don't know if this a bug or not but would be great if firefox saved those preferences.

Hello dear volunteer,

I use Firefox from Germany and have the current version 106.0.5 (64-bit). In Firefox 'Settings -> Home -> Firefox Home Content' the whole 'Recommended by Pocket' option is completely missing. I want to enable 'Recommended by Pocket' but the option has disappeared since Firefox was last updated. The update went through 2 hours ago today. Before the update, the 'Recommended by Pocket' option showed up and was enabled and working on the home page.

Thanks very much!

Pretend I have examplesite.com set to default to my "example sites" container.

If I opened a "personal sites" container tab and typed in examplesite.com, it would ask me if I want to open it in that container or the default container.

It no longer does this, but instead just changes it to the default container. I don't know if it is because of an update or something else. I've looking in the settings, but can't find anything about this.

I frequently open certain sites in multiple containers, but still the majority of the usage is in a single container, so I have them set to a default. Currently, however, I have no way to open these sites in anything but their default container. I am using Firefox Developer Edition 107.0b9 (64-bit), but I also see it in regular Firefox 106.0.3 (64-bit).

Hopefully there is a configuration that I can set somewhere! Thanks :)

Shift+enter opens a new window from the address bar. I fatfinger that combination all the time and I absolutely despise this behavior. Short of ripping the shift key out of the keyboard how can I change or disable this binding?

Scrolling was changed in recent update to where you would go back a page if you were already all the way to the right and still scrolling right. This also occurs if I'm moused over a video player and scrolling right, even if I'm not all the way right on the page. Is there a way to disable this functionality, maybe through config files? Ideally, I'd be able to disable it only when moused over a video, because it prevents me from panning if I'm zoomed into a video. I don't mind it otherwise. Thank you.

I use Visual studio to develop .net applications. Visual studio gives me the option to test pages in the browser. If I select Firefox as my default browser, and load the page, I need to modify the URL to add ?usr=max in order to get access to the application. If I do not modify the URL, the page redirects away from the current page.

In IE 11, I can press the escape key to stop loading of the page and change the URL because the page address appears in the address bar. In Firefox, the address bar is blank after pressing the escape key. How do I get Firefox to show the address it was trying to load when the cancel loading command is issued?

I download an attachment from an email, then drag and drop it into an app. Then I click on the attachment in the app to check it. It used to open in a new tab on the browser next to the app I'm working on. Suddenly, today, when I click on the attachment it sends a new name back to the download box and ignores changes I have made to the attachment. How can I get it back to showing in a new tab on the browser?

Pre-Quantum there were a couple addons that captured videos and offered the option to send it to a designated third party download manager. I believe one of them was Flashgot.

Is there no way to do this in today?

Why are built-in browser download managers so primitive and slow?
