Is there a way I can edit the names of my devices listed when i share a page ? because sometimes I can barely read what the device is because it has useless data before the actual name of the computer or device Im trying to share to, especially on a cell phone making it harder to read, on a PC, tablet or laptop it depends on where, on the page you click (( like my name, your company name, just irrelevant data )) which leads me to having to share to every device, cause i cant tell them apart  :( Wish I could edit the name from my PC but as you can see in the pic there's no option :( Any Idea's ??

Hello.

I am using 'Private Browsing' mode and, under 'Autoplay,' 'Block Video and Audio' has been selected but the odd website continues to play Video and Audio automatically.

Additionally, there are 2 websites listed, both which have 'Allow Audio and Video' selected:

about:welcome aboutwelcomeprivate welcome

Someone suggested going into about:config and changing 'True' to False' under 'permissions.isolateBy.privateBrowsing.'

However changing the 'above value' did not work.

Is what I am attempting to do not possible 'or' am I missing a detail?

Every error is a learning opportunity!

'Another' Issue With Firefox:

On my desktop, I view Facebook via the Firefox browser. When viewing posts from other people, the date/time stamp is no longer visible.

Instead, it shows a random series of numbers and digits. However, 'hovering' over it displays the date and time.

Refreshing the page does not work. The issue also occurs on Opera.

'Again,' am I missing an 'obvious' detail here?

i need to delete the hotkey for closing browser/tabs with shift+w mainly. but every other hotkey is also in need of disabling. its an awful function that is completely unnecessary and unwanted. there is also nothing in the setting to even disable it which is fucking awful. why is it not a setting??

browser is about one reply from support away from being forever uninstalled.

The profile could not be created. The specified entry may not be writable. [Exception... "The component returned an error code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIToolkitProfileService.createProfile]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JSframe::chrome://mozapps/content/profile/createProfileWizard.js::onFinish::line 236" data: none]

Firefox auto updated when I opened it today. Then when it opened, all that was on the screen was the menu (file edit view history bookmarks tools help), the "search or enter address" box, and in the upper right hand corner the words "private browsing" with the purple circle and eye eyeglasses icon. That's all. I have tried looking at my profile. It seems to still be there. This seems to be a problem with the Firefox software itself. I have re-downloaded the software three times, the last time I uninstalled Firefox from my laptop and totally reinstalled. Every time I get the same results. This almost blank screen. Let me be clear. There is no purple background, there is no Firefox icon, there are no tabs, there is no customized menu bar, there is no search box in the middle of the screen. I'm working on a Windows 10 laptop 64 bit. Please don't tell me to upgrade the Windows 11, the laptop won't take Windows 11. I get the same window whether I open the regular fire fox or the private browsing Firefox.

I've been on the phone to Apple support and just returned from the local Apple store and genius bar. My Mac Pro laptop was too old and would not support the newer OS. In installing a OS, I lost my bookmarks and the menu bar that gave easy access. I've since purchased a new Apple Air laptop and everything from the old laptop has been migrated over.

However, working with Apple support and the local genius bar Apple store rep., nobody has been able to help me rebuild the links to a menu bar for quick access. Presently I have some bookmarked. I have to go to the book marks to access any particular URL. All the directions on the web have not provided way to do this!

Thanks, Barry <Interns2llnl@charter.net>

I want to copy/clone information in my Firefox Profile (Bookmarks, Logins, ..) from one device to another. Once that was accomplished, then I would enable Firefox Sync for the two devices.

Scenario: Device “A” (Profile A): Primary/Original/Source Device “B” (Profile B): Copy/Clone/Duplicate

I understand that if I set up Firefox Sync first and then sync the two devices what I will get is a combination/fusion of the information on the 2 devices, i.e., all the “good” stuff in Profile A plus all the superfluous stuff in Profile B that I would just as soon ignore/delete – which is not what I want. This issue has been raised in a number of other posts on this forum but with no suitable resolution offered (that I could find). I’m wondering if there might be a “work-around” that would achieve the desired result.

So ... would this work?

1) Back everything up first (of course!) 2) Glean any unique information to be preserved (Logins, etc.) from Profile B and incorporate it into Profile A (Profile A now has everything essential!) 3) Purge Profile B

   a) Create a New Profile on Device B (and delete old?)
   b) Delete everything possible from the new Profile B (default bookmarks, etc.)

4) Login to Mozilla account and enable Sync

The idea is to create a “blank” Profile on Device B so that when Profile A and Profile B are Synched together (combined), Profile A remains unchanged, and Profile B is populated with everything in Profile A (a perfect copy!). The result that I want after Sync is essentially A+B=A, the solution of which is of course B=0, hence the focus on creating a "blank" Profile B.

Instead of purging Profile B as above, an alternate method might be to first “pre-load” Bookmarks in Profile B by the usual method of Backing up Profile A Bookmarks and then Restoring them to Profile B. At this point Profile A and Profile B Bookmarks would be exactly the same and Synching the two devices should make no changes to either’s Bookmarks. Logins and other information would still have to be purged, but this could at least be a head start.

Presumably this idea could be extended to more than 2 devices (but with only one being the “Primary”).

Note that I am (myself) only concerned about Bookmarks and Logins, and am thus glossing-over how other information that might be important to others (Browsing History, Tabs, etc.) might be Synched.

Could someone from Mozilla/Firefox with a knowledge of the inner workings of these features please comment as to the efficacy of this “work-around”?

Thanks.

Well looks like they did it to us again. My tabs are back on top again and need to put them below where I am a lot of other users like our tabs!

Update: Codes working fine now for 133.0

My settings are checked to ask where I want a download to go, but then also puts a copy in the downloads folder. How can I stop the additional copy of a download?

I did a search to try and fix this. Suggestions included, checking if Private Windows are on, Customizing Toolbar, making sure all extensions are enabled and Refresh Firefox, all of which I did with no results. Before I go nuclear and uninstall/install Firefox, are there any other suggestions to solve this issue?

Recently, every time I turn on email on Yahoo, I get a noisy notification when each email is received. I do not want or like it. It is annoying. How can I turn off the notifications?

I had to reinstall Win 11 on a laptop, which required me to also reinstall Firefox. The version installed was 133.0 (64-bit). The tabs are above the address bar. I want them below. I cannot find the browser.tabs.ontop setting in about:config.

Any suggestions would be aprreciated.

Youtube's side panel on the left does not load at all, the videos on the homepage do but none of them can be played. When I play a video the website doesn't load that either. I only get an hourglass icon on the tab. Image attached.

Google search results don't show up immediately, despite being loaded. Only after about 7 seconds. Image attached.

I don't have this issue on other browsers. It has only started occurring 3 days ago, I'm clueless as to what the cause may be.

Solutions I have tried: 1. Restarting my PC. 2. Turning off all my extensions. 3. Running Firefox in troubleshoot mode. 4. Refreshing Firefox.

FF v131.0.3

Just started seeing this issue when selecting a news item video in emails from Haystack News Midweek Report <founders@haystack.tv>.

Normally, selecting an item in the email message would open the subject story video in a new tab where I can 'play' the video. Now I get the new tab opened with a blank (white) screen, but noticed something strange in the URL. Here's an example: https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/https://www.haystack.tv/v/economy-grew-robust-pace-quarter.

https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/ is leading the normal URL address. If I take this part out the video loads and plays as expected.

Anyone have an idea what caused this? Thx.

I've just updated from Firefox 101.0.1 to Firefox ESR 115.18.0 (I'm still using Windows 7, so can't get a more recent release). I have a program which reads a cURL command from the clipboard then runs cURL repeatedly with slightly modified versions of the command. The command is read from the clipboard rather than pasted into the command prompt window because it may be more than 4096 characters. This no longer works with the updated version of Firefox. Comparing the cURL commands from the two versions of Firefox showed lots of "^" characters had been added. For example "120Months|Yield|RiskScore" had become "120Months^|Yield^|RiskScore". When I edited the cURL command to remove the "^" characters, everything worked like it had before the Firefox update. I suspect this is related to the changes introduced by Bug 1777800. I would like to know whether the problem can be reproduced using up-to-date versions of Firefox and Windows. Starting with web page https://www.trustnet.com/fund/price-performance/t/investment-trusts?norisk=true&PageSize=25 use the network monitor to capture the result of moving to the next page of data, Copy as cURL (Windows) and use the result. Do you get a response containing the data for the next 25 funds or a very small file containing an error message?
