Firefox Support Forum

I've asked this question before and got no answer. Every time Firefox has an update, all my pinned sites in the "top sites" section gets discombobulated. What can I do to stop this? Apparently the sync feature doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting tired of manually putting everything back every time. If I don't get an answer I guess I'll have to disable updates.

the 1st youtube video is played out on the screen, and the other video in my headphones.

I would like to give my little brother my pair of headphones to watch youtube, and for my class lectures that I have to watch, I would like to listen to them through the screen, or vice versa. And of course I would split the windows up, his screen of youtube on the left, and mine on the right.

Thank you

Long time bug and annoyance for me. Firefox is my default browser for 10+ years.

When concentrating on reading a page, and slowly scrolling at the same time, the mouse cursor can drift off the scrollbar even though I have the mouse button held down. It is because I am focused on the page, the mouse can lose perfect vertical sliding action, so the cursor drifts into the page. Soon it can no longer hang on to the scrollbar and the page jumps back to the top.

Is there any fix that can stop this from happening ? The mouse cursor should stay on the scrollbar as long as I have the mouse button held down.

Hello,

Our requirement is as below-

We have our client application which is chrome compatible application. As a integration process, we merged 4 sub component / applications in our existing client application. We now allowed users to connect these applications from chrome based client application by clicking on its Dashboard Icon. Once clicked, new chrome tab is getting opened and users can access that application.

The Problem here is - two of the applications were Firefox compatible applications due to which its UI appearance is not upto the mark in Chrome.

Could you please provide solution so that we can open those sub applications in new Firefox browser (from chrome browser)? We had checked firefox extension (add on) but its not useful as this will only open or convert current url in firefox browser.

Thanks .

Best regards, Anuprita Thakur.

Hi, I have started to use notion.so and they have a nice range of keyboard shortcuts, e.g.

cmd + shift + p

for moving pages :)

Unfortunately this shortcut is already "blocked" by Firefox for opening "New Private Windows".

There is no chance to alter the keyboard-shortcuts on notion, so I wonder if anyone can help me with remapping this one in Firefox to, let's say: cmd + alt + n?

Thank you Sascha

https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/tronkepar/ 前阵子，我在火狐市场下载了一个插件，是一个web钱包的样子，然后我导入私密信息，导致财产损失，如何找到这个插件的开发者，追回损失。

还有，如果我把这个插件卸载了，系统还安全吗？

Hi All, I have been looking everywhere and now answer. I am using sync since several years and I got a new laptop from my job. I connected with sync, no problem. But no synchronisation of my tabs or passwords. I click on synchronize now and nothing happens...

Does anyone know what is happening ?

Thanks a lot and regards !

In Windows Version...

Shift-Ctrl-Del then Enter executes [Preferred]

In Linux Version...

Shift-Ctrl-Del then Enter cancels [Argh - I MUST click Ok]

Shift-Ctrl-Del then Shift-Tab then Enter executes [Almost preferred but not the same as in Windows version

Need the "Ok" button to be selected so I can simply press Enter

For the past few days Firefox will not let be get on Facebook. It's not a Facebook problem as I can use it on my phone, or with Chrome, just not with Firefox which is my usual browser.

I don't really want to change my browser but I'll have to if the answer is something technical - I've never been technical but now I'm 73 it's too late to learn new stuff, I just want it to work like it always has!

Hi,

I have Firefox installed on my MacBook Air running OS X El Capitan.

Everytime I go to open Firefox I'm met with "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. Type your password to allow this".

Is this a bug or is there really something to install every time I log on?

Any help / advice appreciated

Hello,

I recently installed the Multi-Account Containers extension but noticed that it also added some unwanted right click context menu items to assets for websites that I have put into containers. For example google.com and youtube.com are both put inside a "google" container. Now I have used the folowing code: "menu[label="Open Link in New Google Tab"] {display:none!important;} " in the userChrome.css file to remove the context menu item: "Open Link in New Google Tab" but it's only taking effect on the google.com website and not youtube.com.

Anyone know the reason why?

Thanks in advace.

I have a mht-file and shall open it in Firefox. Chip Magazin promts me to Firefox Mozilla Archive Erweiterung. I can't find that thing. So what to do? (I use Firefox 82.0 (64bit).

Hello, I'm using Firefox 81.0.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have a local html page with link formatted link that : ssh://server.domain.com If I type in a terminal : xdg-open ssh:/server.domain.com No problem it works as intended, however in Firefox it doesnt if I use xdg-opn to open a link starting with ssh. I suspect it comes from the fact that meanwhile my links are written like that : <area shape="rect" coords="1428,438,1463,495" href="ssh://server.domain.com" alt="" onmouseover="showTooltip('n14')" onmouseout="hideTooltip()"> when putting my mouse over the link it appears in the bottom left corner as: ssh://server.domain.com/ That trailing slash is most likely the problem ssh:// mime shouldn't consider / to be anything more that a caracter and I don't blame xdg-open here, but why would firefox add a trailing slash to a link while it's not written in the html file in the first place ? Hope any one will have an answer.

This question was already asked [this thread] but the solution doesn't work for me.

In about:config, no matter what value I give to permissions.default.shortcuts, sites are still able to intercept my keyboard shortcuts (eg Ctrl+f).

I can disable it for individual sites, using Page Info > Permissions, but I'd like this turned off across the board because I find it creepy when sites mess with my controls.

I am no longer able to repost articles directly from websites on facebook. I can only post the urls and wait for a preview to load. I administer an education page so this is becoming time consuming.

Hi,

Tried to find the solution but the problem boggles me.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10 (2004). Using one Windows session (let's call it WS1), my profiles (even new ones) are extremely slow, as if I had a really bad Internet connection (but responds well to typing or opening new tabs or operating in general, just slow navigation). I have a backup browser, Opera, that works just fine. On another Windows session (WS2), Firefox works just fine, even with the profiles from WS1.

Safe mode doesn't resolve anything.

It can't be a driver problem, as it's the same PC, shouldn't be a software problem, same reason, and both sessions are built pretty much the same way.

I tried uninstalling Firefox, using Windows Disk Cleanup as per this solution https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1219670 then reinstalling it again and no change.

I can't use the other Windows session as it's not mine, and I can't create a new one either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am using FF for my automation testing.I run lot of FF instances/windows in parallel. For example if I run 20 window in HTMLUNIT-Driver then my cpu usage is only 5 to 10% but if i run 20 FF headless then my cpu usage is 80=90% .

I tried FF 80 . Still same behaviour

Stackoverflow question : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57935905/selenium-firefox-69-high-cpu-usage-java?noredirect=1#comment102532709_57935905

question :

Do we have slim version of headless FF which will use less cpu like htmlunit driver . If not how do i optimize FF so that it uses less cpu like htmlunitDriver
