My previous question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1254024
With the latest update, the following css tweak to disable the creation of new tab when middle clicking the empty tab bar area no longer works.
This along with the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+P to open a new private window are features no other browsers have.

Firefox auto update locked up my Win 7 computer while updating from 70.1 to 71.0 and I had to hard restart. When back into Windows, Firefox was broken. I had to reinstall Firefox to get it running and all bookmarks and saved logins were totally lost. I tried restoring them from backups but no success. I was able to move bookmarks over from another computer, but I am having no success finding the key3.db and logins.jsons files on the computer with working bookmarks and saved passwords. The computer I am trying to move the saved logins from is Windows 10, or as I call it, bloated utter crap. I need help moving those files over to the computer that had the Firefox problem, which is Windows 7. The computer that I am posting this from is the Windows 10 one that I haven't had the problem with.

Sorry not a technical person but as an example https://www.johnlewis.com/eaziglide-neverstick2-non-stick-milk-pan-16cm/p2185188 On other browsers if you click on an item you will be able to then click on customers reviews which appear. In Firefox the option to look at customers reviews is not present. I am using an iMac late 2012 model running El Capitan 10.11.6 Hope this helps - Cheers Michael Fulford

Ctrl+R (Maybe only exclusive in Indonesia version, which "Riwayat" means history/recent which makes sense) is used for opening History sidebar AND Refresh page. However, since firefox unable to modify keybinds leads to unfixable problem. Pressing Ctrl+R only refresh current page, not opening the history too. I would like to revert it back to Ctrl+H, because that's how most browser works too.
BroadcastChannel.onmessage not working in firefox

I need to share some information between 2 tabs of the same browser pointing at the same site. I'm using the BroadcastChannel.onmessage event handler as detailed here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/BroadcastChannel/onmessage
In the sender tab javascript code I defined:
var bc = new BroadcastChannel('my_bc_channel');
bc.postMessage(i); //where i is simply the line number i want to share
And in the receiving tab:
var bc = new BroadcastChannel('my_bc_channel');
//then use this to receive the incoming messages:
bc.onmessage = function (ev) {
last_line = ev.data
}
My code works fine in Chrome, but it does not do anything in Firefox (latest version 70 freshly installed under windows). The compatibility chart in the link I gave above says it should be working from Firefox version 38.
The thing is, I'm not sure how to debug this. I don't have any error messages in the console. I don't know if it's the sender code that does not send anything. But clearly the receiving code is not triggered so I guess the .onmessage event is not detected. Where can I see in the javascript console if the message is sent ?

Without using Sync, what is the easiest way to transfer my Firefox passwords from my old Mac (running OS X 10.6.8) to a new Mac (running 10.15.1)?
Is it as simple as moving the old logins.json and key3.db files from the old Firefox Profile folder to the new Firefox Profile folder?
Can I copy the old Firefox Profiles folder and replace the Profile folder in the new Mac with a copy (to get all my bookmarks & passwords)?

Hi,
Since the latest release 71 some of my passwords are not showing in the password manager.
They are also not entering in the websites correctly, this is perhaps that when I view the saved logins and show passwords the passwords are displayed as xxxxxxxx
This has happened on 1 pc's running windows 10.
How do I get my passwords back please?

Proxy/VPN extensions have stopped working

So, on my Firefox setup I use two extensions to circumvent website blocking in my country - one is an extension to make a specific website always available. The other is AnonymoX which I use for general purposes.
A few days ago I upgraded to Firefox 71.0 as well as updated my Windows 10 to the latest 1903 version. Today I noticed that both extensions have stopped working. AnonymoX just doesn't work, whereas the other plugin, upon activation, says (translated) "Conflict detected! Proxy settings are controlled by a different plugin or cannot be set up" Trying to circumvent a block (and only then - unblocked websites work fine) now either redirects me to the ISPs blocking page, or alternatively produces a "Secure Connection Failed PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR" message after a long TLS handshake. Running the same extensions in Chrome does not reproduce the issue - blocked websites become accessible as usual. The issue also persists for three different connections - a public wi-fi network, a private network and a tethered 4G connection, all served by different ISPs. Finally, I am not running any anti-virus software or firewall. Thus this seems to be a Firefox issue and not a system or network issue.
This also doesn't seem to be an issue with the country's blocking system itself because other users around me are still able to circumvent blocks using the same extensions and I am able to circumvent blocks using a similar extension on my Android phone with a local SIM.
Things I've tried so far: 1) Made sure that both Windows and Firefox are set to not use a proxy
2) Reinstalled the extensions
3) Created a different profile in Firefox. The extensions don't work in the new profile either, although the PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR does not appear - I just always get redirected to the respective ISPs block page
4) Cleared all cache, cookies, site settings etc.
5) Deleted the cert9.db file and let Firefox recereate it
So far nothing has worked. I'm frankly at a loss here. I have half a mind to just reinstall Firefox altogether since this is not my main PC and losing bookmarks wouldn't inconvenience me on it, but figured I'd ask here before.

Can someone help me edit the CSS to disable the feature of middle mouse clicks on the empty portion of the tab bar opening new tabs? The new update broke the CSS again and it's really frustrating using Firefox as I have a bad habit of constantly clicking the middle mouse button.

I want to see exactly what cookies a particular site has set. I'm sure there used to be a way in earlier versions of FF (I'm on 70.0.1), but it seems to have disappeared. I don't want to delete all cookies from that site, just to examine them and if necessary delete them individually.

Having some trouble with Firefox and I'm at my wits end on how to fix it. Clicking the Firefox icon in Windows 10 (whether that's in the Start menu, the taskbar or the app itself in Program Files) won't launch Firefox. The blue loading spinner appears briefly next to the pointer, then disappears. Sometimes a Firefox process appears in Task Manager then instantly disappears, but sometimes it doesn't. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Restarting - Reinstalling - Deleting my Firefox profile and all Firefox app files - Launching in safe mode by holding shift - Launching in safe mode by adding the "-safe-mode" comment - Running as administrator - Checking it's not being blocked by antivirus - Loading the Firefox profile manager by typing "firefox.exe -P" in the run dialog box. This does the same as trying to load Firefox - nothing happens
I can't think what else to do. It may be a coincidence, but my primary monitor died, I restarted the PC and then Firefox wouldn't work. I can't see how it could be related, but who knows.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello!
For the last few days my Firefox browser is unable to start. I have tried reinstalling it, turning off antivirus/firewall and cleaning up the registry but it is still the same results every time.

Is there a way to increase the spacing between toolbars?
I prefer my tabs just above the page and below the URL & "Bookmarks" toolbars so I found the CSS code to move them, but I had to make their text bigger to read, and now my bars are overlapping each other (see attached photo.)
Is there a way to increase the spacing between toolbars so they don't overlap? TIA.
