Firefox crashes but I have never seen the crash reporter on my 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 Fedora 43 system with budgie-desktop 10.9.3

Is the crash reporter discontinued?

How to hide "Take a screenshot" and "Original Profile"

Hello. I have two questions about settings. 1. I want to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu. 2. I want to hide the "Original Profile" option from the options that appear when you click the Firefox hamburger menu.

I'm asking about these two points. 1. I'm trying to hide the "Take Screenshot" option, but I couldn't find a solution even after searching. about:config ↓ extensions.screenshots.disabled ↓ From true to false ↓ Even restarting Firefox didn't hide the "Take Screenshot" option. 2. Regarding hiding the "Original Profile," I can't find any information about this option, so is it impossible to hide it? I'm asking about these two points.

"Recently closed windows" context now only shows 25 windows when it's set to 60 in about:config

I have my browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in about:config set to 60 – it's been like this and working fine for several months.

It's set to this high number because I use an assistive technology which creates a fresh pop-up every time I deploy it, and Firefox treats it as a browser window closure when I close the pop-up. Consequently, I can easily rattle through well over 25 window closures in a day.

It's not necessarily that each window contains dozens of tabs and copious data, but nevertheless Firefox still treats it as a window 'within the meaning of the act'!

I just went to reopen one closed window from a couple days ago which did contain many tabs (partly why I closed it in the first place), only to find that the 'recently-closed windows' context menu is now only showing 20 windows (18 of which are the aforementioned pop-up assistive technology windows)

The really vital window that I want to reopen is not showing.

I've double checked in about: config and the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo is still set to 60 windows; nothing has been altered or reset.

I updated Firefox to 147.0.4 yesterday evening, but the problem existed before I updated Firefox, and is still in evidence since updating.

Two questions:

1) Why is the Recently Closed Windows context menu not showing the full number of windows it has been successfully doing with no problem now for months? I used to have to scroll down to access the full extent of the 60, but they were always there.

2) Why has it arbitrarily changed to 25 windows?

3) [I lied – Our chief weapons etc...] Is there a way that – given about:config still implies that the most recent 60 windows are retrievable – that I can access beyond the 25 windows limit that are currently showing as reopenable?

Thanks very much


(And yes, I already have things like OneTab and Tab Session Manager add-ons, but disabled those just before closing the important window, because I was trying to locate which add-on was draining the CPU. I assumed my 'recently-closed windows' buffer of 60 would suffice while I disabled the add-ons.)

Why can't I go to saltlife.com when I've gone to this 333 times and ordered items from them for YEARS? Also, when I'm at Kohls.com, I cannot access a site, when shopping to access part of my shopping experience. Am I going to have to change my browser to be able to shop there? I have used Firefox for years, and up until now, I've never had this problem.

Since last two updates, I noted I can't click on the URL field or any icons next to each other two versions ago. I changed the Bluetooth mouse to a lined mouse, then it went OK. But with the latest update, again, the same symptom occured and persists: I am on MacBookPro, so I manage to Command+any command key.

How can I restore and click on URL field, copy URL, or reload the URL address again? OF course, I need to use other icons for each function.

Just the last couple of days I can no longer browse through the images of an ebay item. the first image loads but the arrows or the thumbnails yield no movement, and I can't use the contact seller button either. No other website is effected, I am using the latest Firefox with Ventura on an imac. It all works if I use Duck duck and go? All very strange. Tim

When browsing to The Algemeiner.com in desktop Firefox V147.0.4 this morning, I consistantly got an error from every link on the page

======

"404 Apologies

The page you're looking for doesn't exist."

In spite of this message, I was able to use the page, and all the links on it, normally from within Google Chrome. Is Mozilla censoring this site?
