Firefox Community Forum

My husband's Windows computer failed, and I am setting up his new Chromebook as a holiday gift.

Unfortunately, the instructions for setting Private Mode as the default for Firefox don't fit what I see on the Acer Chromebook 315.

Please provide appropriate instructions. I want to place it in his office, ready to go, before he gets up tomorrow morning, December 25. I am in Central Time in the US.

[article] This article claims there is an "AI Controls" section in Settings. This is not found in v 147.03 (up to date) for Mac. Please let me know how to disable all AI in Firefox.

My browser is not working as it should. Several sites do not work anymore and the browser keeps crashing. I'd like to refresh the browser, but the button is missing. I tried going to troubleshooting mode, but the button is not there either.

Not sure if uninstalling would do the same thing? Just not sure what is the best way to refresh. Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Looking at my Firefox 147.0.1 settings for macOS 26.2 (Apple M1), I'm trying to adjust two settings:

-- I'd like to remove Languages -> English (GB) (its existence has odd side effects, like triggering United Airlines to offer fares in Pounds Sterling, and I'd prefer to just have English (US))

-- I'd like to disable Play Audio and Video for about:welcome (in regular and private windows)

I can see no way to accomplish this currently -- why?

Thanks.

I was using WhatsApp and i am facing problem. This account can no longer be used on WhatsApp. I have not done any such mistake on WhatsApp and my whatsapp is not working. It is very important to me. I follow all your rules and without doing anything here my whatsapp has stopped working. Please fix it quickly

I have for years hated that the right mouse click on a link had "open link in new tab" at the top of the menu, but accepted it as the item I wanted was only the second one down "open link in new window" and it was easy enough with my aging eyes not to have to read the item and have complete confidence that the second item would be selected and would be the item intended to select.

Now, in version 150 you have introduced another item which interfers with my selection.

I detest, hate, the horror of ""Open in Split View." This should NOT BE FORCED ON ME.

I hope in a future version you will allow complete customization of that menu, so that the available items may be reordered as the user needs, especially so I may have "open link in new window" at the top of the menu

I have set my version back to 149.0.2, disabled automatic dates, and will check to see when you have an improved browser with more complete customization possible for users, even ones you do not know.

If "open in split view" had been put lower in the menu, perhaps I would be pleased to explore its usefulness, but you were impertinent and presumptuous to try to force it on me.

Hi,

I updated to Firefox 149 (German User) and did not get the Seutp prompt mentioned in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox I Also tried https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn#w_how-do-i-turn-off-or-remove-vpn-from-my-toolbar to check the Optiions in the Settings, but there is also the part "VPN" missing. In the Help Section it says that I have installed 149.0 (64-Bit) Windows Version. Is there something missing?

best regards

How do I turn off the "split view" option... or move it somewhere else?

I get you are trying to add features... but this is one I dont need or want... and its in the place of a feature I ACTUALLY use "open link in new tab".

Very frustrating to try to open a new link only to loose HALF the screen I am currently using and NO WAY to move said tab off.

Unbelievably weird placement of this "feature".

Actually, given that this "feature" made it all the way through to prod, I seriously suggest you just fire absolutely everyone currently working for Mozilla and start over with entirely new people, and ideally have as one of your hiring criteria a sensible understanding that AI has no place in Firefox, or any other Mozilla project. Leaving aside the question of whether it's good or bad, it's simply irrelevant to what we're doing here.

Thanks for enshittifying one of the few parts of the internet that wasn't yet crap. Great job, well done Angus.

Have been using Google Chrome for a very long time and also have a gmail.com e-mail address. Very convenient to just tam the big letter "M". Have downloaded Firefox numerous times to select it as my default browser instead of Google but have not succeeded. Please help! Thank you.
