Firefox Support Forum

When I search directly from the address bar, the search always defaults to google.com/....whatever I am searching for. But even though my region is set to United Kingdom, my search results are definitely not the same as if I were to navigate to www.google.co.uk and then search for the same string. Is there any way for the default google search to use google.co.uk rather than google.com Thanks?

A couple of months ago Outlook.com changed its "look." And instead of highlighting text, right clicking and and having the small MS window come up where you can click "paste," their own window came up and "paste" was not one of the options. So I had to use Ctrl v to paste.

But Outlook just added "paste" to their window. But it's not working in Firefox. But it does work in Chrome. Outlook will never address this, so what can FF do about this?

Is it possible to change the displayed folder in the Bookmark Toolbar? So that not the folder "Bookmarks Toolbar" is used, but a self-selected?

Benefit:

For example, a Firefox sync account is used across multiple devices. But the most important pages differ from device to device (e.g. work/private). Accordingly, a different folder should be displayed in the Bookmarks Toolbar on different devices.

Whenever you start typing a certain website name in the address bar, Firefox suggests and option to auto-fill the address based on what you've typed. My issue with that is that auto-fill keeps suggesting the address that I DON'T want it to. Specifically, I want "ya" to auto-fill to "ya.ru", instead it keeps suggesting "yandex.com.ge". Now, I have tried deleting all the history of ever going to "yandex.com.ge" as well as just ignoring the issue and typing out the full "ya.ru" by myself and giving Firefox some time to catch onto this, however after a couple of weeks nothing's changed. What's interesting is that when I type "ya" in the address bar, Firefox shows the following (in order): the wrong auto-fill suggestion ("yandex.com.ge"), some search suggestions (yahoo, yandex, yahoo mail, etc), then after the search suggestions there is a separator that says "Firefox suggests" and what do you think, the CORRECT auto-fill that I want is first right in there - "ya.ru". So Firefox actually knows that I want it, since it's the first thing in "Firefox suggests", but why can I not get it as a default auto-fill suggestion?

Here the scenario that presents the issue that I'm curious about.

I go to a lot of sports websites to check game times, scores, box score statistics, etc.

While at pages listing the scores of multiple games that are still being played (in-progress), there's an option to click a link on any individual game to see per-player stats about their performance so far in that game, etc.

So, when I click a right-click a link and select to open it in a new tab, fine, it opens okay, no problem there.

However, within the page of the newly opened tab, there is usually a right sidebar column, that is mostly a series of ads and links to related content, yet, there's always at least 1 (and sometimes 2-3,etc) that have embedded video highlight reels in players embedded directly into the page that automatically begin playing when the page/tab loads. It may take a few seconds, maybe up to 30 seconds, but it will eventually start. And, as you probably can guess, yes, of course you have to sit thru a 30-second ad before the real content.

These are little sidebar embedded video players on my 27" 4K screen are no more than a few square inches, with tiny little control buttons, such as pause, volume sliders, etc, the usual array, and a "[+]" expand-icon to expand the player size to full-screen.

So therein lies the nuisance. And it is really annoying. When the tab opens, that little highlights-reel video player is off to the side, very small, barely noticeable to begin with, and at first page load, usually SILENT. But that doesn't mean it's muted, it's not- it just hasn't fully loaded yet and self-started began playing YET.

And then when it finally does, the volume is usually at a default setting of MAXIMUM. And it is LOUD.

It's a pain in the neck that anytime I click a link at any of these kinds of sites by major sports networks that over time you learn to expect that the page is gonna get audio-hijacked whether or not the user is even remotely interested in that content (way over there in that little inky-dinky player on the right), and it just absolutely RUINS the user-experience overall IMHO.

I'm looking for an ADD-ON / EXTENSION that remedies this, ...or-- asking any of you developers who may be reading this to take this post VERY SERIOUSLY. I absolutely can't believe I'm the only user P.O.'d with this horrible "SNAFU" with major sports networks websites. To call it an "inconvenience" is the understatement of the century.

Just to be clear, ad-block has absolutely no effect (ZERO) on this. Cookies ? I'm using Privazer in addition to Firefox's own Privacy & Security settings and built-in cookie cleaning capabilities. And I have used that tandem for years, with remarkably fantastic results, no complaint there, everything works great as far as that is concerned. Except of course the issue of this post/inquiry - this problem doesn't get fixed by clearing cookies or caches, it's apparently loaded & controlled at the server-side, so I'm looking for a way to over-ride that by the client-side by having new tabs open with volume muted as default page-load value (if such a thing is possible).

Also, the above scenario, is my most frequently encountered PERSONALLY, however this issue happens also at quite a number of other website pages where sidebar video content is regularly displayed such as tabloid/ journalism websites, product review websites, and the list goes on and on.....

Getting back to the title of this post ::: "" Is there an add-on that enables when clicked links are opened in new tabs ---> THAT TAB's volume ALREADY muted ? "" .... if there already is an option for this in firefox open new tabs settings please remind me where to find it..... because I am pulling my hair out over this... thanks all.

Dear Team, I am trying to logon to a NationalWestmeinster Banking App. I have cleared the cache, restarted Firefox in Troubleshoot mode , etc, etc,. Below is the error message I get but having tried troubleshoot mode this should disable the addons/extenstions, right? What else can I do? Thanks

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have a windows 10 desktop. I use several different browsers including Firefox. When online and searching for a site, I choose only https//: sites. However, I am getting an unsecure warning when I click on them. It opens the sites in private mode so why do they not open in regular search mode? Also sometimes when I am in a https//: site I trust & have been to before, the links receive an unsecure warning too. How do I fix this?

In bookmark bar, every bookmarks is highlighted white when hovered.

'Bookmark Menu' button is also highlighted, but its size is too small.

I've tried to use 'userChrome.css' with 'toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets' enabled.

   #bookmarks-menu-button::after {
     content: "bookmark menu";
     display: inline-block;
   }

This was all I could do.

There is '<label>' element under '#bookmarks-menu-button' so I might be able to use that for displaying string next to icon, but I don't know how to include it to 'white highlight' when hovered.

Also I found that when I try to change 'Bookmark Menu', popup menu (displayed under it) is aligned with icon, not text. So the popup menu will look like it is moved to left. I don't want this. I want the menu is aligned with text so that it is not look like it moved left.

TL;DR - I want to make 'Bookmark Menu' button look like other bookmarks, Icon with Text, Both are highlighted as one when hovered. Also popup menu when 'Bookmark Menu' is clicked should be aligned with text, not icon.

In the past week I have found that I am now unable to log into some websites, can no longer download pdfs from websites, or word docs from email. I have had issues trying to access chat functionality with my web hosting company. This has forced me to have to start using Chrome is many cases.

Firefox is my favorite browser and I want to continue using it, but if I am unable to access the websites I need to, when I need to then I will have to eventually jump ship.

Is this happening because of recent browser updates? From search from past issues people have had I've seen firewall settings a possibility, so could it be my firewall? Or are websites just not trying to support Firefox anymore?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Quite frequently — but not always — Firefox displays Helvetica Neue totally garbled. When I go to the Firefox inspector and edit the font so that the weight is 400 or below, it's fine. But above 400, totally garbled (check out the attached).

I have my Adobe Helvetica Neue font de-activated, by the way.

Is there a fix for this?

Had a problem with my Firefox that kept telling me "we're sorry..." So I went to delete it and it gave me an option to "refresh" Firefox. I did that and it created a file "Old Firefox Data". somehow during this process Firefox got deleted. I downloaded a new copy of Firefox. What do I do with "Old Firefox Data"?

I have tried searching online and the suggestion is to "Undo" command on the "Organize" menu of the Library window as described in this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1198441 but I cannot find any Library window.

Please advise step-by-step how to retrieve accidental deleted folder in FF 112.0.2.

Since last upgrade Firefox seems unable to access any wordpress sites.

Always says to enable cookies. I've done that but still not possible access.

Is Firefox now becoming so "secure" it is useless?

There are more and more web sites where Firefox just is no longer a viable browser.

There is no clear "ENABLE" cookies option to resolve this just pages on explanations about safety yada yada yada.

I just want a button that says ENABLE COOKIES so I don't have to constantly seek answers to use this browser on a particular web site.

As much as I hate Chrome I am finding it more useful now than FireFox
