Firefox Community Forum

Even though I have reinstalled Firefox twice, and each time set it as my default browser, every time Iog on to Windows I am presented with a screen asking me to set Firefox as my default browser. It is listed as my default browser in : (1) in the browser itself under Settings, and in (2) Windows Settings / Default Apps. How can I get rid of this reminder screen every time I log into my computer?

I'm using KDE Plasma on Garuda Linux.

The problem is that I have a gesture that allow me to switch between desktops: three finger swipe to left/right and when I switch it when the firefox open the back and forward page is triggered, even if I configured about:config, setting browser.gesture.swipe.left browser.gesture.swipe.right to blank("") even browser.gesture.twist.left browser.gesture.twist.right

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

When I try to make Yahoo my default search engine (on desktop), Firefox does not give me that option. The dropdown choices are things like Amazon, Google... no Yahoo.

Are the captions being generated in firefox. I've never had this happen before.The captions are unrelated with I'm doing and are very distracting . Please tell mr how to discontinue them. Thank You

When I go into Settings, I see the following message at the top:

"Your browser is being managed by your organization."

I've never seen this before. Going into about:policies, this is what I see:

ImportEnterpriseRoots

It's the only one there. My searches have told me that this should only appear if you're not an admin and it's on a work computer. But I am the admin and my computer is a home one, not a work one so this message shouldn't be there. I have looked up around here to find out how to disable/remove this and I did the following:

I found and followed these solutions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1434356 https://winaero.com/remove-your-browser-is-being-managed-by-your-organization-from-firefox/ https://www.minitool.com/news/firefox-your-browser-is-managed-by-your-organization.html

Where I made a backup of the Registry and went in to delete ImportEnterpriseRoots. I restarted Firefox afterwards, and when I checked it was removed. I restarted my computer just to be sure that it was removed, but upon restart the message appeared again and ImportEnterpriseRoots reappeared.

I then checked out these solutions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-disable-enterprise-roots-preference https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1313379

Where I go to about:config the "security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots" can be disabled, but the "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" is grayed out and I can't disable it at all. The solution above mentions that this can be caused by your anti virus. I tried disabling "https scanning" and "QUIC/http3" under Norton's Safe Web option, but this did nothing. I'm planning on removing Norton soon once my sub runs out and I know Norton is doing this to Firefox, so I'm concerned that if I don't remove this when I do an uninstall it will screw up Firefox or my computer. I've tried asking the Norton forums and they only offered the solutions above that I tried and they didn't work at all.

How do I remove the "Your browser is being managed by your organization." message and ImportEnterpriseRoots from Firefox if these solutions don't work?

Team,

I'm having issues with my home screen shortcuts favicons not updating. when i try to edit the shortcut > use custom image > i enter the favicon.ico url > hit preview > the preview updates but my home screen shortcut doesnt.

This article didn't workout for me https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings and it occurs on both my linux machine and my windows machine.

Not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, if I'm missing something, or if i'm missing a step in my troubleshooting.

I appreciate your feedback in advance.

Excelsior!

Is there an option somewhere for eye strain and if so where is it? For some reason every website has always looked like it's stuck in that setting where it reduces blue light to help your eyes, and as someone who develops games having the wrong colors has been a bit annoying.

i have dual monitor. i have fire fox shortcut tab on both side of screens. when i hover on left of right screen , it shows tabs preview for both screens. this has become confusing for me. i need to see them seprate. so if i hover on fire fox logo either right or left screen i need to only see that side of preview. can you tell me where and how to do this setup.

Just purchased a new desktop that came with Windows 11 pro installed. I don't like it. Also having to start from scratch is annoying having to redo all the fixes to Firefox I did on the old computer anyhow.

The attached shows the Toolbar drop downs and what I have done to get rid of them of course the "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" does just that but the description box (see attached) is still there.

OK I have Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) as mentioned Windows 11 pro Any help please and please keep in mind I don't understand a lot of computer speak I am 69yo but can do a bit.
