I clicked on adding AccuWeather notifications several weeks ago without knowing the hassle.

1) I get way too many from all over but am only interested in my specific area. 2) I also use a security service with a VPN since I was hacked and it hides where I actually am located so local notifications don't work anyhow.

I contacted AccuWeather and they said it was a Firefox function. However they gave me something to try. Unfortunately it must have been an out-of-date solution and it didn't work.

Please tell me how to turn off those notifications in the current version of Firefox.

I recently moved my other PC to Windows 10, then put on Firefox (browser). When I drop down the menu below the address bar, I see random web sites I apparently have used -- not what I want to see. I want what my laptop (Firefox on Windows 10, also) shows which is a set of web sites that I visit often. That list is fixed and does not deviate. THAT is what I want for my the other PC with the new Windows 10 on it. What setting(s) in Firefox controls this? I have attached a screenshot of the preferred drop down menu that I cannot seem to duplicate on the new Windows 10.

Thanks to all in advance for whatever advice you might offer.

Hello, I've set FF to open addresses and search from the url bar in a new tab. I want to set that tab to open in the background, which is something I've managed to do in the past, but I can't find this option now.

What's the about:config parameter for this? Thanks

I as well as others are experiencing excessive sporadic buffering of Newsmax.com using Firefox. And, has been most of if not all year. It is the only site to do this, I play YouTube videos and stream fine otherwise. My Firefox is current and up to date. This has been going on for some time now. I'm sure FF has updated 2-3 times. OS is Win10 and current.

Hiya,

I use a theme which some years ago (after a change in the way Firefox handles dark-mode preferences) changed all UI and websites to use dark-mode. I was able to keep using the theme, and mostly override this behavior by setting:

`layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1`

However, this didn't take for some components, such as the sidebar and bookmark editor window, which still continue to use dark-mode.

Is there any way to completely disable dark-mode everywhere, and still use my preferred theme?

Cheers, Afraz

Latest crash report: bp-c7581c18-335d-41c6-826e-383c40231009

Firefox blinks and then crashes when attempting to visit various websites, specifically Unsplash.com (a stock photo site) but also inconsistently on other pages including Google search results pages. I have tried refreshing, uninstalling and reinstalling, ensuring all my drivers are up to date, and disabling hardware acceleration and webGL. The only time the browser works consistently without crashing is in Troubleshoot Mode.

Now, the site responds with the fact that there is no activity and it won';t let me log in. I am using Windows 10 and the latest 64 bit version of Fireox.

Chrome has no such issue. Please advise.

Thanks. Eileen
