Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

I use last version of Firefox, I didn't install anything regarding Bing search system, no add-ons, no search system in options - I always use Yandex. Still, each time when I am highlighting any text with my mouse, and click on the button called "Search in Yandex", it drops me to bing website. What on earth is going on? Does someone else encounter this problem and knows how to fix that? Thanks.

Is there any way to revert from the pinch zoom back to the full screen zoom? I know that you can do the css full screen zoom via ctrl + pinch, but it seems much more laggy and slow than in older versions of Firefox. Is there some about:config option I can use to revert it? Or is it just baked in now.

Hi!

Since today, when I was doing the "pinch to zoom" gesture on my touchpad, the browser behaved the same as if i did Ctrl + "+". Now it just zooms on the area around the cursor. Any help?

Please see the referenced pictures Thanks.

Search results keep coming up in Russian. I have cleared the cache, the history, for all time, installed the language add-on, and even reinstalled Firefox. Still coming up in Russian.

I recently changed from Ubuntu Gnome to KDE Plasma. Now, when I'm running Firefox (v83) and click "Save as" to save a file from a web page, Firefox gives me a file list with directories mixed in alphabetically, rather than at the top. This is new behavior to me; I don't know if it's new with v83 (I was previously running v82), or if it's a KDE implementation issue.

Either way, I HATE having to scroll down through page after page of files and folders to find my destination folder. Since the dialog box also incorporates full-row select, I can't even click in the file list and type the first letter of my destination folder.

Please tell me there is a way to change this behavior and have Firefox's "Save as" dialog sort the files with directories at the top!

Thanks.

When I go to a website that wants to capture my screen on my new computer it won't let me select a window. It only gives me the option of "Entire Screen". Well, my entire screen is 5760 wide so not really an option for sharing with others.

Window manager: Xfce

I am SO ANGRY it scares even me. How in the'-+(&': do I get to about:.config? I need to enable javascript. I feel like throwing this computer out the window after I jump up and down on it

Hi all -

How can I restore the old Firefox address bar in version 83.0? The new click invasive Megabar should be a user selectable option!

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

I use NoScript with the Firefox Nightly channel and default search to DuckDuckGo. Where is the setting for the DuckDuckGo url so that I can direct it to the html page directly rather than wasting all the time and bandwidth of the search, the "You don't have javascript" filler redirect page, then finally the scriptless html page. The standard DuckDuckGo search address is as follows:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=help+me

When you have javascript disabled, after all the redirects load, you end up at the address below:

https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=help+me

My laptop is a tad on the old side, so the desktop environment taxes the system pretty heavily. I would therefore like to ask it to do less work for a search.

Hi, My web page scaling is too large. they are so large that most of the webpage are very difficult to use as only a fraction of the screen shows. Using the 2 finger on the keypad, I can increase the scaling making the page even larger but when trying too reduce the scaling it stops at the original setting. I cannot shrink it further. I tried on different browser and I do not have that issue. Never noticed it before because I usually work with external 4K monitor and the increase scaling in that case is almost mandatory. Tonight i am working on my laptop(Asus Zenbook 14) without external screens and no mouse. Attached is the screenshot of this page. I cannot make it smaller. Any parameter/trick to resolve this issue?

The tab for my Google Translator went missing. I spent 4 hours deleting this add-on, re-installing.....Nothing seems to work. I just can't seem to get this icon to show on on my task bar in the upper right with all the other add-ons. I need help. I don't have images or data to share, unless you want to see the screen where it is supposed to be. Thanks for any help.

HI,

my Firefox has had this problem for a long time. (I am running version 83.0 now, but have had this at least since 72.0) I am not in Privacy Mode (temp or permanent) and it is set to "remember history", which it does in the History tab/sidebar. The problem I have is that it doesn't remember the Previously Closed Tabs or ...Windows. These lists are always empty. It isn't a major issue, but sometimes it is really annoying...

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

I'll include the Troubleshooting Info, in case that is required.

Thanks, Pat

I'm running on Firefox on macOS Big Sur with dark mode on. Google searches appeared with the normal white background color up until today. Now, the searches only appear with the white background color if I leave my operating system with a light theme. I tried using terminal to override the system background color for Firefox to try and get my searches to appear white again, but this didn't work. I also tried using an app which would run the commands itself (in case I had input the wrong commands), but this also didn't work. The odd thing is that even if I turn the Firefox theme to light or any other color, the Google searches still appear in dark mode. Also Firefox is the only browser where the searches appear in dark mode; in both Safari and Chrome the searches still have a white background. Is there any settings I can change in Firefox to fix this or anything else I can do?

Hi,

I have been designing a Hikvision CCTV system and bumped into a problem. Mac users cannot use a browser to access all the various controls and settings as Hikvision rely upon ActiveX, which is old and a security risk. I am informed that this problem exists in the whole CCTV industry! I am advised that Hikvision will eventually dump ActiveX in favour of HTML5, but this seems to require a new operating system!

I think it's incredible that a whole industry should build itself upon one piece of legacy. Surely browsers would be the way to go. That way online acccess to a CCTV system would be OS independent. Does onyone have some thoughts on this?

Why not implement an HTML5 plugin?

I'm no expert, but have been around computer tech since the early 1980s.

Comments/observations much appreciated.

Regards Michael

For some reason, in google search "images" are displayed in the dark mode. Everything else is in light mode and it's really annoying. I tried everything, changing my systeme theme from light to dark and vice versa and i even tried the colour customization option in mozilla, but nothing happened, it's still in dark mode.

I have pinned 12 tabs. I want only two of them to load when I start firefox. I followed directions to change browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned tabs_on_demand to true and restarted FF. It acted the same.

Trying to request a demo from bigcommerce.com. It complains javascript is not enabled. ("Please enable javascript and try again" about:config shows javascript.enabled = true.

What I've tried: 1. Disabled all addons / extensions 1 by 1 until they were all disabled. 2. Turned off tracking protection 3. Turned off content blocking. 4. Set all group policies to "not configured" (Had only disabled off telemetry and update any way). 5. Set network settings to "no proxy". 6. Cleared cache 7. Removed all bigcommerce.com cookies. 8. Reset all permissions (location, camera, notifications etc).

If I restart with add ons disabled it works fine, yet I'd disabled all add ons. The only preferences I had disabled were related to telemetry (in about:config).

How can I add a website to location permissions?

When I click on settings next to permissions/location I get a search box and a larger empty box that is meant to list websites that have permission to access my location. how do I add the website address? If I add it to the search box & hit return, nothing happens. I cannot get text into the larger box.
