Firefox Support Forum

Hallo,

My previous thread was archived, but further regression has occurred so I'll bring it up here again as feature requests are down. I'm still using 56 one reason being that there are separate control options for the start page and the home page. I like to start with a blank page, but have the home button available for my #1 destination. The current version of firefox combines start and home pages, thus taking away my options to separate these elements. For a while it wasn't in the GUI, but you could fix it in the about:config (which was my previous "solution"), but with the latest updates this has been removed as well.

How do I get separate start and home pages? If I could assign a value to the home icon that didn't affect the start page, that would work too.

         Tak!

I recently migrated all of my files and applications from a 2013 macbook retina pro that had FF 56.0.2 to a 2020 macbook retina pro. The application transferred over with no problems with one exception. I have a blog on livejournal.com and now cannot post or reply to comments on the blog. FF just hangs and freezes. I can't even quit the page unless I quit FF totally and then restart. I can still access livejournal from Safari w/no problems. I checked my extensions (only have two) and disabled hardware acceleration but nothing has helped. Does anyone have any suggestion? I'm not crazy about safari and would like to continue to use FF. Thanks so much for any help!

I have kept FF v. 56.0.2 because of certain add-ons that I have come to rely upon. That version is shared by all users. However, I would like to add the newest version for a second user. How can I install the current version for only the second user without affecting v 56.0.2 for the primary user?

One of the reasons I'm still using 56 is that the start page preference and home page preference are separate. I can set the browser to start with a blank page, but then if I wish to quickly go to my home page I can just click on the icon in the address bar. Don't know why this feature was downgraded in the new versions, but I'd like to update - so how can I make this be so in the new version of Firefox? I want to set the start page different from the home page like 56.

I am a developer of Firefox extensions and have had a Mozilla developer account for over 15 years. For some reason, I can no longer login to that account. When attempting to login, I get a message to "Confirm your account". The displayed email address is correct, but I never receive the conformation email. I've check my junk and trash folders and even have a filter setup to accept all emails from "accounts@firefox.com", but I still never get the conformation email. I tried setting up a new account and that works, but I cannot access my developer dashboard with the new account.

Tab Mix + allowed old Firefox to support multi-row tabs. I need it absolutely to upgrade. I googled it, found plenty of solutions that changed at every release, none worked with 70. PS: I asking using Waterfox, but Waterfox 2019 killed most legacy add-ons, so I'm looking to to back to Firefox. I solved almost all my problems, except this one which is crucial. I often have 30 opened, having to scroll is unbearable.

Hi, I've lost the indexing in one of my folders and have tried the tips of deleting the folder and re-starting Firefox but nothing seems to work. I can see the emails in user/appdata/roaming/thunderbird/profiles/qkudlafn.default/mail/pop.clara.net/inbox.sbd nut when i search my whole machine for global-messages-db.sqlite it doesn't exist even after re-starting Firefox. I've updated FF in case that forced a re-index but no joy. I'm stuck (and can't deal with more work enquiries until I resolve this - please help! PS I have a qkudlafn.default(1) folder as well but not sure why.

I frequently use the "Email a link to this page" feature. I'm running Waterfox 56.2.13 (64-bit), and my email is via Thunderbird 69.0b4. When I click on the email page button, an hourglass activity icon flashes for a few seconds, but a new message form with the page URL isn't generated. This is a very recent problem. Please help. TIA

Is there any add-on for the latest Firefox that deal with tab-bar? I'm looking for one that would allow hiding the tab-bar when there's only one tab open (bit more space to use) and where the opened tabs go (to the end preferably).

I want to replace all fonts on all websites with Roboto Light. I downloaded the Roboto family and installed it on my PC. Now when I use this:

• {font-family: "Roboto";}

it works fine, but when I use this:

• {font-family: "Roboto Light";}

it falls back on another font. Why?

With Firefox and only with firefox I have a rendering problem with statcounter summary. My stats summary should look as in uploaded image but also with labels on every bar in summary image. In other browsers there are no rendering problems Thanks

Why did the "hotfix" disable most addons in FF 56.0.2 when I have all updates for 56.0.2 turned off.

I DO NOT want to "Upgrade" FF because the non-functional "Web Extensions" will not perform the same "Addons" functions, which I have used for years, Most "Web Extensions" are now useless.

I realize that later versions of FF "provides more security" - However, the "Web Extensions" are unusable as they now have very little, if any, to even do simple things like remembering the last directory used, that FF 56.0.2 addons perform flawlessly.

So, back to my original question, when will my addons be re-enabled for FF 56.0.2?

They should not have been effected by this "hotfix" when my browser is set to "Never check for updates (not recommended)".

Respectable Mozilla Forum I want to make a question:

Till now I have used the version of Mozilla 56.02 because it was the only one that was compatible with all my addons. Today I have noticed that even this version has stopped functioning and if I try to download an addon it tells that it is impossible and that I must control my internet connection. Now i don't know the reason of this error and if there is a solution to this problem. It seems so strange that a great program as Firefox has all these problems.

Thank to all that want to answer to my question , waiting for a gently response, I salute all the Community.

I kept Firefox version 56.02 (on both my Win 10 laptop & Win 7 desktop) so I could still use Reminderfox, one of the features which made me prefer Firefox to other browsers. With the current issues over Mozilla's blocking of extensions/add-ons, and the only fix I'm aware of involving upgrading to the latest Firefox version, it doesn't seem there is any way forward that would allow me to continue with Firefox + Reminderfox.

I have Firefox set up to always restore all tabs from my previous session and remember my search history, but all my tabs are gone and my search history has been wiped out. And the Restore Previous Session option is grayed out.

I don't even remember how I found most of the tabs that I have up, and I only have some of them bookmarked. Can you please help me get them back? Thank you.

By the way, I don't have Firefox as my default browser, so trying to download my profile didn't work. Do I need to have Firefox as my default browser to solve this problem?

One more thing: I was having some trouble with my internet connection, so I shut down my computer and rebooted my router. Is that why this happened, and does this mean that my tabs are gone forever?

By the way, I do see a folder icon on my desktop that says "Old Firefox Data," but all the data in there is from 2016, so that's not what I'm looking for.

I really need those tabs back. Thanks!
