My vision is not good, so I often miss type things. So I enter things like[email@mail.com] instead of {email@gmail.com} and variations there of. So every time I go to a new site, and I gave to enter my email address I get a list of miss-typed addresses with the correct one. Everything I try to search on how to to delete these erroneous entries, comes back on how turn off the option to use this function. I have how to delete old CC information and thing like that. but not miss-typed email address. Thanks in advance. McK

Hi, When I use a shortcut for a bookmark (e.g., typing "yt" to activate my youtube search bookmark with URL set to "https://www.youtube . com/results?search_query=%s" and shortcut set to "yt") it opens in a new tab. I am in the habit of making a new tab before using a shortcut to search using a bookmark. How can I change the shortcut bookmark behavior to open in the same tab where i typed the query into the URL bar?

I have some new issues after a recent update.

The tab bar fades when the window isn't focused. I certainly didn't have it set to do that before, and I have had no luck finding the setting for it. Tell me what the setting is?

Another I'd like to know the setting for, is the behavior of the address bar. It used to always be white, and now it's gray unless I'd entering something in it. I'd like to switch the setting back to the other way.

I've tried hunting for the settings for these things, but it has not been intuitive for me, and I guess I keep overlooking the pertinent settings somehow. Please tell me what parts of the settings page, or what about:config entries, will get things put back as I had them?

As third parties cookies will going to be blocked and Google is migrating their identity services to fedcm but currently fedcm is not supported by Mozilla so what will be the solution for one tap sign in using google on Mozilla?

Dear Anyone.

So I got ransomwared awhile back - the AZQT one - and managed to get out of it with copious use of backups! Thing IS - it's left my Outlook/Hotmail E_mail page in Russian - and I can't select 'change to English' because all the sub-menus are in Russian and I don't know what to click on!

Now when I first load up the page, I get a lovely-looking little box 'Firefox has detected this page is in Russian, would you like to translate to English' (or words to that effect, y'know.) But the box appears and disappears so fast I don't have time to click on it. I managed to get to it a couple of times and it worked perfectly. But normally it vanishes before I can get there.

How do I make the little box stick around longer so I can click on it? Or is the same option hidden in a Firefox menu somewhere - I'm not the world's greatest Internet browser geek, so please keep answers simple! - and I could click on it in a Firefox menu? Like I said - if I GET to it in time, it works like a dream. It's just GETTING to it fast enough before it vanishes that's the problem!

Just ad an 'orrible thought. I hope that if it's in a Firefox menu, that's not been turned into Russian too!

Yours respectfully

Chris.

Ich kann mein Konto bei web.de nicht mit meiner anderen E-Mail-Anschrift verifizieren, weil ich die zur Verifizierung geschickten Ziffern nicht bekomme. Die Frist zur Verifizierung läuft bald ab. Ich brauche also eine andere Möglichkeit, meine Reserve-E-Mail zu bestätigen.

I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere along the line, Firefox stopped showing on-hover tooltips on unfocused windows. Clicking into the Firefox window again can disrupt what I'm doing in another window, however. For example trying to hover on the Firefox window with my mouse cursor, and type the text of the tooltip into a different window, while leaving the tooltip visible. Wrecks that idea!

I guess I assumed it'd be a temporary issue, that'd get resolved in a later update, without having to say anything about it, and I was wrong about that.

Any idea what's up, and how to get the tooltips to work as I would like them to?

On major websites such as espn.com, when on a webpage with a video, the video autoplays despite the settings area of my browser is set up as block audio and video as the default for all websites. espn.com is not listed in the area below that setting for exceptions.

It is both distracting and annoying since this problem has been ongoing for months despite using the latest browser and triple-checking my settings to ensure my settings are properly selected.

I want to come to any page with a video and be forced to press the play button if I want to view it and not have to click in the box to stop it. Thankfully there is no problem with the audio as it is always muted, but I want the full desire of block audio and video to be enabled.

Thank you.

If I manage my bookmarks from the Menu>Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks at the bottom, a separate window pops up where I can attempt to organize my bookmarks.

It seems I have limited functionality in being able to edit these lists and folders. Under "All Bookmarks" I have (3) folders, the Bookmarks Toolbar (which I rarely use anymore), the Bookmarks Menu, and another folder called "Other Bookmarks" which I had added years ago. (Perhaps this folder has been grandfathered in? I don't know that you can add folders at this level anymore)

After moving all the contents of "Other Bookmarks" to the "Bookmarks Menu", I wish to eliminate the "Other Bookmarks" folder. The folder is now empty, but the RMB menu still shows the "delete folder" option grayed out.

I read somewhere that Sync might have something to do with it, but even after signing out of Sync, and trying again, it wouldn't work.

Anything under the "Bookmarks Menu" folder, I have no problem deleting or moving links and folders. (though the GUI could be a little more streamlined) I am just not able to manage anything at the top level. Is there currently a way to do this?

Thank you. Kurt

Hi All I have firefox 123.0.1 and don't have widevine! my OS is NetBSD 10 what's the best/easy'ish way to add this as channel 4 & 5 UK broadcaster require widevine installed and I can't find in the add-ons widevine!!!!

Duplicate tab closer closed all tabs that weren't loaded into memory, so how may I restore tabs across all tab groups that were closed as now showing 0 ZERO tabs open in most tab groups!?

Before updating Firefox to 123.0.1 (64-bit) + MacOS Sonoma, I could use FIDO2 on OnlyKey and login to my proton mail. Now, however something has changed on Firefox that I get presented with two prompts to touch my usb key, but the key itself doesn't respond to the second prompt and login fails.

I first get this prompt as before. I select 'Authenticate' and would be presented with the second picture. Since my key is not expecting to be touched, nothing happens when I touch it and login fails with the message displayed in the last picture.

Hello there,

I like Firefox to ask me what to do each time with PDF documents, so I've set the action for PDF to "Always Ask". However, I've noticed that when I load a page with a PDF document embedded inline, and I select "Open with Firefox" on the dialog box, the document always opens in a new tab.

In other words: there are certain PDF documents that get displayed inline when the action for PDF is "Open in Firefox"; but those same documents get opened in new tabs when set to "Always Ask".

Is possible for Firefox to display PDFs inline while asking me what to do each time?

Thanks in advance!

For years I was able to view my credit card statements on the Synchrony Bank website, as recent as last year. Today, I cannot view the statements. When I click on the link I get the blocked symbol. (red circle with a slash through it. I am able to view the statements on another browser, Chrome to be precise. What changed? Can it be remedied?

Recently I have been experiencing longer and longer Captcha sessions, have to go through longer and longer iterations of images to finally get through. Today I was unable to get through at all. What is going on with Firefox and Google? How can I fix this?

Hi, I watch specific streaming live show on YouTube every week. Unfortunately, I always have to play it in non-Firefox browser, because the video freezes every couple minutes, while audio track is still playing in the background. Based on the comments from the stream chat, other people have this issue too. Why? How to fix it? It is annoying. Internet connection is ok. Other browsers no issue.

on the 16th of March, I lost my backpack which had a large number of irreplacible values on a train. One that is replaceable was my laptop that I use a lot with firefox.

IS it possible to find the location of my laptop via Firefox?

A setting that shows recent login activity? Anything at all! IP addresses, A website that was opened in a location? Maybe someone found my laptop and for whatever reason, opened my browser. The only browsers I have are Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

If you have any knowledge about finding the location of a laptop beyond using Firefox, I would greatly greatly appreciate any advice or any knowledge you could share with me that I could try. Laptop uses Windows 11.

My life feels like it is ruined since I lost this backpack. It could be in the train still, it could be waiting to be registered at a lost and found department, it could also be in the hands of someone else. I had around 5 or 6 photo albums in this bag :(

I can access every website on my Firefox browser apart from a Holiday Forum I use all the time

I would be grateful for some help please. I have contacted the site Moderators and they confirm no changes have been made at their end.
