I recently got help (thank you, Cor-El!!) and was able to put Firefox into compact mode. It's still not enough. Is there anyway to make even compact mode smaller? After websites add their own headers and all, it now leaves me about 2 inches of working space; it's better than one inch but isn't enough to see things.

I've been trying to keep going back to version 99 (darker attached screenshot in blues) but it isn't being allowed. The other screenshot (lighter, in oranges and pinks) is the current version in compact mode. It's a bit better, but still is not good.

Is there any way I can change the height of the headers myself? Or can I ask someone else to do it? I'd like it about half to 2/3 the size it is now, even in compact mode. Can I do that? If so, how?

Or, can I switch things around so the headers are at the side of the screen? This is a standard 15" diagonal screen laptop currently running Windows 10.

When I switch from one tab to another doesn't matter the webpage the page adjusts the content on the tab. For example I was on youtube and switched over to gmail and it adjusted the screen and when I switched back to youtube it did the same on youtube. I wasn't zoomed in or anything. I was just on the tab and it was fine and looked how it should but as soon as I switch to another tab it does it on that tab and then will do it again when I switch back to the tab I was on originally on. I'm on FF vers 113.0.2 (64-bit).

I have one Firefox profile with work and personal stuff, and am creating another profile just for work. I have exported the passwords from the first profile and deleted all my personal ones, so the Excel file just have personal passwords. I am looking for a way to import this file into my new Firefox profile. I see how to do that from another browser, but not from a file or another Firefox profile. Any help would be appreciated.

On the operating system of windows where the Mozilla browser is installed, we desire to disable user access to all settings so that they can't be accessed. I already generated a working policies.json file but user can still access settings.

Then I put the file local-settings.js in the "firefox_application_folder/defaults/prefs/" with the following text // pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13 pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

Then I put the file mozilla.cfg in the firefox application folder with the following text // lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Firefox (v. 113.0.2) returns the following error message: Netscape.cfg/AutoConfig failed. Please contact system administrator. Error: lockPref failed: [Exception... "Component returned failure code 0x80070057] (NS_ERROR_ILLEGALVALUE) [nslPrefBranch.preflsLocked]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGALVALUE)" location: "JS frame :: prefcalls.js :: lockPref ::line 61" data:no]

Hello:

I'm getting older and my vision is deteriorating. I'm at a stage where I'm having significant difficulty getting past the captcha challenges in more and more websites. When I complain to the websites, they're telling me that they don't control the captcha but that's its hosted and run by my browser.

I need to disable the visual tik-tak-toe picture captcha challenge in my FireFox browser... and replace it with anything else. If I'm not able to stop or replace these captcha's coming up in FireFox way too frequently now... I'm going to have to stop using the browser and switch over to another brand that's handling these security challenges differently.

Can you help me stay on the FireFox browser at this time?

Thanks your your attention & help.

When watching something on Youtube and I click on the coloured download icon, I get to be able to click on the title of the video. A blue 1 appears in the download icon. When I click again, then click on the blue 1 to watch the download. Nothing happens. The window just sits there and states 'downloading', but it does not happen. This happened last year and you managed to fix it; now Youtube seem to have blocked downloading again. Geoffrey D Dean, Australia.
