A folder on the bookmarks menu that stroes individual bookmarks, fills half the screen of a standard 1080p screen with totally empty white space.

The padding in between each and every single bookmark, in any place that can store bookmarks, will be filled by at least 3 or 4 mm of empty white space. Between every single bookmark.

This is a huge amount of completely pointless scrolling.

Do you have an RSI? No?

Good for you. I, sadly do.

Has there been a fix for this cos the chrome folder .css "fix" is not working for me.

If i cant solve this i am going to change browsers. I dont care. I love Firefox and used it since the netscape days in the 90's, but am not going in for another surgery since you people insist of giving people more RSI's.

Hi,

I am managing some linux servers in schools.

Actualy a lot of users are working with firefox.

Depending on how the user is working with firefox, the profil may reclaims a lot of disk space.

Is there a tool working like :

firefox_cleaning_tool /path_of_profile /options xxx

with some options like : cache / etc...

For exemple : the tool flushes profiles caches files and user have no action to do to continue using firefox as usual

this kind of tool should run every month (ie with crontab)

Is there a way to do that ?

I can manual flush some folders contents but I am afraid to do mistakes.

Thanks for your help

I'd like to try enabling Tab Groups in Firefox 135.0 (64-bit). But I don't want to risk scrambling my gazillion or so tabs if Tab Groups is not stable.

I'd appreciate some feedback from Firefox users who have enabled Tab Groups.

I'm running Windows 10 version 22H2

I appreciate the "Translate Selection To" in the right click context menu is in Beta. For me it works but not as well as it might. For example, I am English, my laptop is set to English, I am viewing a website in English but it has some foreign text on it, so I hightlight the text, right click and I am offered to "Translate Selection To ... Slovenian" Why???

I then have to tell it the language of the source/highlighted text and I have to tell it I want the result in English. I can accept it might not recognise the language of the source text but it is very annoying that it assumes I want it converted to Slovenian instead of the systems default language.

To make it worse, having changed the languages to those I want, it doesn't remember them and the next time I use it I'm back to square one.

This would be a really useful feature if only it was logical.

I need a default search string in order to add Firefox as a search option. Directions on the app advise how to add a search option, but a default search string is required and I haven't been able to figure out what use. https://firefox.com/search is the best I can guess. Any help for an old man is appreciated.

When using the PiP feature is there a way to switch whether it pauses the video when closing the PiP player?

Often if i want the audio to continue but dont want the popout player there and if I press the close button it will just stop the audio. If I select the PiP window and use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + ] the audio will continue playing as I want it however this is inconvenient and requires using the keyboard, is there any way to change it so that closing the popout player doesn't stop the tab from playing audio?

It is the 'Search Bar' function on your Browser! It's an absolute nuisance to use. When you begin typing a question into the search bar it immediately (as you all know) diverts to the Address bar in the Browser. Your eyes have to divert your focus and attention every single time you use the Search Bar making the process fatiguing, exacerbated by having to put up with the smaller font used in the address bar. Google, EDGE and Opera, Doesn't use this method only Firefox. It's a real pain and the is the sole reason I will never make 'Fox' my default Browser.
