I am having this issue where Firefox only keeps "Today's" history. I have thoroughly looked at the community's similar issue fixes.

I do not have Private Browsing on. I have set "Custom Settings History:

 -Remember browsing and download history
 -Remember search and form history

I do not have CC Cleaner or like apps and the one I do is on auto-manual and does not clear FF.

There is no reason for this. I would like to know when answering, what are a couple of likely causes for this. It appears by many queries here and on Google this has been an issue for years and FF seems not to want to fix it or know about it. Your help is appreciated.

I used Linux Mint Debian Edition 5 and now I am on the latest 6 Faye. I like using Pandora on FF and have no problem on playback. How ever, the level of sound will start and default to some were of %50-%80. So I'll have to select sound/settings/applications and it'll show FireFox: % not at %100. So I turn it up, every single time. How ever this does not happen on any other webpage like youtube for example. I tried this with LMDE 6 brand new after full updates and no sign in's except for Pandora to get into my account and it'll do the same thing. I have a 5.1 Dolby sound system and my 4K tv hooked up to the PC and either way will do the same thing only for Pandora. This is truly not a big deal, how ever it is annoying as I LOVE to play LOUD music while I game on my Console(s). I fill it is in something with config:ff but I don't want to mess around to much. Any idea's?

I'm not very computer savvy but I followed a website a few months ago to edit Firefox so it'd default to dark mode. I think I went in and edited source code? I can't find the instructions anymore but I'd like to revert back to the original setting. How do I do that? I tried to refresh Firefox but it's still coming back with some websites in dark mode and some not. Please advise!

Trying to retire the Google surveillance tool, Chrome, by using Firefox. Ugh, if y'all want to encourage this someone should really look at how this is done!

I got bookmarks moved and prefs setup. Importing extensions is really nice--thanks FF devs--but a feature of Chrome I use every day is the set of icons on the new tab/home page/startup page. It is super easy to customize on Chrome but I can find no way to do so in Firefox. These icons have no label on the page and are right under the search bar--see image.

I have spent most of the morning following unhelpful links about android or mentioning menu options that do not exist. I am using FF 119 on macOS.

Thanks to the community for help!

Hi, I would like to customize the apps that firefox shows me when I click the address bar. In the attached image, you see youtube, google, reddit, wikipedia, twitter. I would like to remove some of these apps. How can I do that?

Also, there are suggested search engines on the bottom, including amazon, bing, ebay. How can I customize the apps which appear in that list? Again, I want to remove some of these apps.

Thanks.

I started getting an issue where starting additional videos will stop all other videos in Firefox - forcing all of them to load simultaneously.

I have already attempted a number of options to no effect: - Starting in Safe Mode - Removed unneeded add-ons (any remaining add-ons were not active in Safe Mode) - Clearing Cookies and Cache - modifying media.wmf.zero-copy-nv12-textures and gfx.direct3d11.reuse-decoder-device - Disabled Hardware Acceleration - Modified Vertical Sync in Nvidia Control Panel

My device is fairly high end and has not had any issues with Firefox before tonight. There are no significant resource spikes when it occurs, and my connection speed is solid: Download: 936.89Mbps, upload: 714.34Mbps

Since the last couple updates Firefox is NOT allowing my Password Manager to fill in logins, usually after clearing the cache which I do once a week, at least. Why is that?

Second: Your browser is being managed by your organization. That is not true. There is no organization, there never has been, I'm retired and this is home use desktop running Windows 10 and no one but me has EVER managed Firefox and I've used this browser, though no longer as my default, since it first became available. So why does it think anyone but me controls anything about it?

When I compose a Twitter reply (desktop) text becomes garbled. If I hit 'Enter' message disappears. It I hit 'Shift' and Enter, cursor returns to beginning of sentence. Apostrophes don't render, at times.

It's as if a 1978 version of a word processor, you can type, but nothing else

Other posts, other websites work beautifully. v119.0, but has done this on every version, every configuration

Attached is me pasting ' issues with Twitter on Firefox ' into compose No idea

Thanks in advance

Suddenly, now on FF 119.0.0.1, JPEG Images no longer open in new tab when clicked with mid-mouse-button (previous behaviour, wanted), instead they get downloaded, safed to DL-folder, and maybe opened in 3rd-party-app. I tried to change the Open-with settings, but to no avail - there's no option to 'Open in Firefox'/Internally. (Only Open with../Download)

I've tried older guides on the topic, which didn't apply here it seems, also cleaned cache, etc.

Hi Firefox community,

I'm looking for some help troubleshooting display problems with one specific website. (I've had no other issues like this with any other webpage.) This website is a log that we use at work to track cases.

The first screenshot is what the webpage is supposed to look like when displayed properly (loads properly in Internet Explorer). The second screenshot is what I see when I try to access the page on Firefox. I've also found that the links in the buttons don't work either.

A couple of things I've already tried based on forum suggestions that haven't fixed it: - Refreshed/reloaded the page - Deleted cookies/cache - Updated Firefox (currently version 119.0) - Reset Zoom, minimum font size, page style, checked that Javascript was enabled, unchecked hardware acceleration - Turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection, verified that Firefox wasn't blocking parts of the page through the padlock icon next to the address bar - Restarted my laptop after all of this (using Windows 11 on Dell XPS 15)

Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. It's not the end of the world if I can't fix it but it's just a bizarre error and I'd prefer to not open Internet Explorer every time I have to use this website.

Thank you!

Hi, I am seeing issues with autoscrolling in 119.0. In Rundeck for example you can "follow" the output of playbooks that are running so you can dynamically see the log as it is written. The autoscrolling in this field has stopped working. When manually scrolling in the field, more messages appear but the autoscrolling is no longer functional. I have also seen it on other places, though I don't have remember good examples to add, so I don't believe it is Rundeck causing the issue--we also haven't updated rundeck recently in our environment, so it shouldn't have changed since before 119.0 was released. Let me know if there is more information I can provide to diagnose the issue.

I am developing an extension that will fix YouTube spacebar issue (after recent YouTube update after Alt Tabbing from other window, spacebar is not working to Pause/Play videos).

The problem is that my extension is not working anywhere except on https://www.mozilla.org.

I've already added "*://*.youtube.com/*" to "host_permissions" in my manifest.json file and it's displayed as "Can always read and change data on this site" on YouTube, but it does nothing. On https://www.mozilla.org my extension is activating properly (writes test message in console).

I added my extension on "about:debugging". Can it be related with that? Appreciate any help!
