Firefox Community Forum

The AI chatbot is back in my sidebar. I did not opt in to this. I would prefer not to roll back to whichever version of Firefox is before the AI it's-a-feature-not-a-bug got wedged in; what other options do I have for permanently disabling AI?

Going to sidebar settings to hide the AI chatbot does not suffice. Evidence: I did that already, it has been undone, and I cannot now find the toggle in question.

Personally I vote for yanking it out of the main browser altogether, so people have to actively choose to install the AI chatbot add-on. But my question is about actions I can take myself.

I found out about a chat gpt sidebar in firefox labs. I am facing a p[roblem where if i close this sidebar, i need to go to firefox labs tab and reopen it again. Is there a quck way, a macros for example how i can quickly open the new sidebar

I see the new AI chatbox feature buried within Firefox Labs. Is there not a way through a policies.json to disable that feature if it's unwanted? If there isn't, when would that be added (and hopefully before this feature becomes live in a future release)?

I asked this question two years ago and the chosen solution no longer works for newer versions of Firefox. (135 in my case) . setting editor.use_div_for_default_newlines in about:config to FALSE does not work.

I am tired of pressing SHIFT <enter> to get <　br　> . Unnessessary <　div　>s make code harder to read.

Any new setting I could use to get
for pressing the enter key?

Whenever I press alt+ctrl+X it pulls up the stupid AI chat bot. I need this shortcut for google docs as its the spellcheck shortcut. Please help me find a way to disable this, I don't need AI crammed into every corner of my life.

Recently in our workplace, we had several computers that suddenly stopped being able to access several websites, the issue started shortly after pushing a updated Firefox across the floor.

I tracked the issue down to being related to security.tls.version.fallback-limit defaulting to 4, instead of the old 3.

Setting the value to 3 resolves the website accessibility issue.

A.) How can I confirm if this is a recent change or not? Everything I read seems to indicate the default should already be 3, but its very definitively not.

B.) What is the best way to push a pref adjustment change across the floor if the option isn't present in the registry and isn't a GPO option? Is my only option really to make some script that scans every computer's users folder, check every user folder's appdata\mozilla, scan every profile for a pref.js file, and do a string search for a reference line and then do a line addition if a certain string doesn't exist?

I can do this, it just doesn't seem like a good long term fix as I would have to run this script regularly as users come and go....

I am on FF 128.7.0esr (64-bit) under a new profile.

"Explaination:" I was wondering if the AI chatbot that I selected(no specific one) could only be 'potentially' harmful for my privacy when it is in fact opened.

The steps i take so u get what i mean:

1. Expand sidebar
2. 'click' on the chosen AI chatbot (ChatGPT in my case)
3. The chatbot opens up next to the sidebar (you can now use it for sending prompts etc.)

So: If i have an AI chatbot selected, but i have neither the sidebar expanded nor opened the chatbot itself should I still have to be concerned about the same privacy concerns as when it is actually openend

After typing in about:config and clicking on the 3 lines top r.h. corner I'm supposed to get a page that list preferences. (using Wndows 11) That page does not appear. I wish to change my value for width scrollbar width from zero to 4. I have also accessed videos - with sound -but find i very hard to follow the voice of the presenter because he/she talks far too fast, and in many instances is outdated! I need a page on screen that tells me to type in specific keystroke to get to the page that lists a preference I can change.

Changing Default Behavior (CSS)

When I'm reading on a computer screen, I hatehatehatedespisehatehatehate "widow and orphan" control. This is especially annoying when reading a long narrative passage that reflows so that a break (often a blank paragraph) falls at the bottom or top of a column/page. There are two relevant CSS properties, each taking a nonzero positive integer as an argument:

    widows: [number of lines]
    orphans: [number of lines]

It appears that Firefox has (like most browsers) established a "default" value of 2 in each of these parameters, which seldom appear in site-specific stylesheets. Do Not Want.

Is there a way to change this default behavior to the equivalent of:

    body {
         widows: 1;
         orphans: 1;}

without either (a) breaking anything or (b) having to redo whatever change every time there's a Firefox update?

Hi,

I've search on all forums, dived deep into my firefox settings, even disabled Containers... No luck : I cannot see tab groups :(

Could you help ?

I want to change this option :

.pdfViewer .page {

 /* border: var(--page-border); */
 border: 0;

}

to remove the borders between pages in the pdf viewer. I tried doing this in the userChrome.css file but it didnt work.

is there is a way to make the side bar movement smoother like when you use the vertical tabs the movement of its bar is smooth so is there is a way to do the same thing to the side bar also i think it will be better if the side bar was in the top of the site cuz most of the time you will not use it you are just gonna open it to access the history or the bookmarks and close it again so there is no need to mess the page layout to match the new window size every time i open it if i need to press or see something behind it i will just close it .

I had an account sign in at 4:30 today. from a windows user. That was not me... can you tell me where it came from?
