Firefox Community Forum

Good day everyone,

I have been breaking my head over this for about a week. After the last update that was installed, now my tab width is smaller than the minimum width I have set them to. However, this only happens with active tabs from pages that have an embedded video. At first I thought this was just a thing with YouTube, but it seems it also happens with other video sites. I guess it may be related to whenever the playback button displays in the tab title and it detects there is video content.

I would like to know how to fix this behavior so that my tabs are no longer shortened beyond the minimum width setting.

Thank you in advance.

Hi. There is a new feature of Firefox that bothers me. It is when I drag tabs around the top, they try to group when I don't want them to. So I go to about:config and find the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" key and set it to false. But when I restart Firefox, the change reverts. How do I fix this so the change stays?

I've already tried going to Menu->Help->More troubleshooting information->Profile Folder->Open folder, but there is no "user.js" file there. Do I have to do a Firefox reset to fix this? I hope not...

Note that I'm pretty sure that other settings that I change do not revert when I restart Firefox. Right now, it seems to be just this one about:config setting, unless the new version of Firefox reverts all manually changed about:config settings upon restart.

Thanx in advance for any help.

I need to block domain in my Firefox. Lets say example.com. Better if via about:config

Extentions is not a solution (sorry, I cannot comment this for privacy reasons)

Hello Since few weeks (maybe on firefox 132 already, but surely on firefox 133) I observe issue with my firefox UI. While grabbing and holding tab (to change its position, move it on bar), whole tab bar gets thinner which realigns my whole UI. Issue is probably caused by my custom userchrome.css but I need it in current or similar form. Maybe there is some css specialist who can help me remove unnecessary parts of code?

My css is as follows:

.tab-background{ border-radius: 0px 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; } .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 4%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; }

Recently (around Fx 134) css code for chrome files stopped working. The code I use is set out below. It previously changed the background colour to tan ( #dbc3a3 ), the text colour to dark blue ( #000080 ) and the font size to 17 px. The code found at the following location also no longer works for chrome files : https://gist.github.com/MrOtherGuy/c592f6443dd228022966cbe5715ad5c9

@-moz-document url-prefix("about:"), url-prefix("chrome://"), url-prefix("resource://"){

 :root {
     --in-content-page-color: #000080 !important;
     --in-content-text-color: #000080 !important;

     --table-row-background-color-alternate: var(--in-content-box-background) !important;

@-moz-document url-prefix("chrome:") {

 html, body, div, h1, p, table, td, tr { background-color: #dbc3a3 !important;
   color: #000080 !important;
   font-size: 17px !important; }
 tr:hover { background-color: #b3d1ff !important; }
 tr.odd:hover { background-color: #b3d1ff !important; }

}

a website im using is trin to call an api with referer header and policy of "origin-when-cross-origin", but firefox overides it to "Same Origin Policy" with console msg: Referrer Policy: Less restricted policies, including ‘no-referrer-when-downgrade’, ‘origin-when-cross-origin’ and ‘unsafe-url’, will be ignored soon for the cross-site request

After a lot of search, i found that network.http.referer.disallowCrossSiteRelaxingDefault config setting should be set to false to allow any policy, but toggling between false or true has no affect. The request still fails with a cors error "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at..."

Is there a way to make this work? Or a way to allow the request to have this referer policy.

When accessing about:logins, Firefox prompts for system authentication (Primary password or master password). However, if the user cancels the prompt twice, the password manager still opens and displays all saved logins without authentication.

This behavior bypasses the intended security check and could pose a risk, especially in shared or public machines

Hello,

I have old 15 year old mac el capitan -10.11.r with outdated firefox 78.15.0esr 64-bit.... in perfect condition. Unfortunately I can not make updates on browser anymore. Online banking websites does not allow me to use this outdated browser. Would you be so kind to make even paid update for me? Or at least let me know what settings I should change under about:config

Waiting to hear from you! [edited email from public]

I have a requirement where instead of showing the 404 error or 503 error on screen, I want to display a blank screen. I have already tried to set the following configs to false -

security.insecure_connection_text.enabled security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled security.insecure_connection_text.pbmode.enabled browser.ssl_override_behavior security.ssl.errorReporting.automatic security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.tls.version.min

Is there anymore steps to do or any userChrome.css script is required.

PS : I cannot use any extension or addon to do that

Transferring bookmarks & backups for passwords is easy and I'm not worried about that. But the about:config settings that I have customized and accreted over years so that nothing beeps, spins, auto-plays, loops, or throbs a tab, are not so straightforward. I'd like to review what files I can save how to make sure I do not lose these, which are the most important things to me about my Firefox installs--keeping the web safe for quiet, nondistracting searches and reading.

Windows 10 Enterprise, managed by my organization, but with just enough admin privileges to customize my Firefox.

Why is there in about:config no reference to documentation of the displayed settings?

e.g. browser.chrome.toolbar_tips.hide_on_keydown

What is it? What is the meaning of the values? What is the default value? Why do we have to guess?

It is probably documented somewhere (I hope). Why is there no reference to it in about:config?

Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?

Recently in our workplace, we had several computers that suddenly stopped being able to access several websites, the issue started shortly after pushing a updated Firefox across the floor.

I tracked the issue down to being related to security.tls.version.fallback-limit defaulting to 4, instead of the old 3.

Setting the value to 3 resolves the website accessibility issue.

A.) How can I confirm if this is a recent change or not? Everything I read seems to indicate the default should already be 3, but its very definitively not.

B.) What is the best way to push a pref adjustment change across the floor if the option isn't present in the registry and isn't a GPO option? Is my only option really to make some script that scans every computer's users folder, check every user folder's appdata\mozilla, scan every profile for a pref.js file, and do a string search for a reference line and then do a line addition if a certain string doesn't exist?

I can do this, it just doesn't seem like a good long term fix as I would have to run this script regularly as users come and go....

I am on FF 128.7.0esr (64-bit) under a new profile.

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

I asked this question two years ago and the chosen solution no longer works for newer versions of Firefox. (135 in my case) . setting editor.use_div_for_default_newlines in about:config to FALSE does not work.

I am tired of pressing SHIFT <enter> to get <　br　> . Unnessessary <　div　>s make code harder to read.

Any new setting I could use to get
for pressing the enter key?

Hello,

as per description I noticed that firefox version 138 requires an ArrayBuffer as the argument of WebAssembly.compile() and doesn't allow anymore (like in 137) a SharedArrayBuffer, is this intended or it will be fixed in the future? Follows a simple test case. Kind reagards.

--- index.html --- <title>Example</title> <script> let instance = undefined; async function loadWasm() { try { const response = await fetch('./sum.wasm'); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const sharedBuffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(buffer.byteLength); const tmpView = new Uint8Array(sharedBuffer); tmpView.set(new Uint8Array(buffer)); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(sharedBuffer); instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); } catch (error) { alert(`failed to compile in wasm: ${error.message}`); } } loadWasm(); function testWasm() { if (instance) alert(`sum 1 + 2 = ${instance.exports.add(1, 2)}`); else alert('invalid instance, failed to compile'); } </script> <button onclick="testWasm()">Press to run wasm function (sum)</button> --- ---

--- sum.wat --- (to convert into .wasm using: wat2wasm sum.wat -o sum.wasm) (module (func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32) local.get $lhs local.get $rhs i32.add) (export "add" (func $add)) ) --- ---

Hi there,

Is it possible to change the padding of menu items in both the menu bar menus and context menus with userChrome.css?

Please see attached images.

Thanks.
