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?

Transferring bookmarks & backups for passwords is easy and I'm not worried about that. But the about:config settings that I have customized and accreted over years so that nothing beeps, spins, auto-plays, loops, or throbs a tab, are not so straightforward. I'd like to review what files I can save how to make sure I do not lose these, which are the most important things to me about my Firefox installs--keeping the web safe for quiet, nondistracting searches and reading.

Windows 10 Enterprise, managed by my organization, but with just enough admin privileges to customize my Firefox.

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-but find i very hard to follow the voice of the presenter because he/she talks far too fast, and in many instances is outdated!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.

Hello,

as per description I noticed that firefox version 138 requires an ArrayBuffer as the argument of WebAssembly.compile() and doesn't allow anymore (like in 137) a SharedArrayBuffer, is this intended or it will be fixed in the future? Follows a simple test case. Kind reagards.

Tabs Switching

Hello,

I have an issue where, when I switch tabs with Ctrl+Tab, my mouse cursor accidentally triggers something if it happens to be in the center. This is very annoying. I tried Googling how to turn off tab visualization through the config, but it hasn't worked so far.

   * browser.ctrlTab.previews

  • browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
  • browser.tabs.animate
  • toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled

So now, the only option I see is to turn off Recent Tabs, but then the browser becomes unusable. I also tried the same on a new clean user profile and even on new Mozilla-based browsers, but still nothing. It would be ideal to make the cursor inactive while switching tabs, like it is in Arc Browser and probably many others. But I would be happy enough to just turn off tab switching visualization.

Is there a way to make the URL high lighting of the domain more obvious? I find that most people can barely see the highlighting and I'd like to make it obvious (bolder and red, or highlighted in yellow, for instance.)

Can this be done via userchrome.css?

Thanks,

This button that looks like a jig saw bit will not budge.

Can I delete this in about:config by deleting the 'unified extention button' and can I delete the 'HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Mozilla/Firefox/Extensions' in the registry?

Firefox these days is getting a burden with more info and such like being collected behind out backs, it's about to be ditched on all my computers, the last few episodes make me want out.

Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?
