At one time there was a userchrome patch which could be applied to obtain legacy-style square corners on the URL bar and the search bar. I can not get this to work despite trying several different suggestions and I suspect it may be related the the Proton redesign.

Can anyone suggest a userchrome mod to obtain the desired square corners?

After a cat attack on the keyboard, Firefox is not allowing the site-specific fonts to be selected, instead over-riding with the generic font. The site is displayed correctly in ALL other browsers, including Safari, Opera, and Chrome, and in the editing app., BBEDIT. There is some fundamental font over-ride that is happening ONLY in Firefox. How to correct this?

There were changes made to how a search is performed. When searching the cursor moves into the address bar versus the center of the page where initiated. The below suggestion was made to resolve which works in regular view, however, it does not stick in a private window. Is there a solution for private view please?

Suggested solution in normal view does not work in private window

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

Awesome Screenshot add-on and Add-ons Security

Hello,

My Apple ID got compromised - someone logged in to my Apple online store account, placed an order with the credit card associated with the account, and actually picked up the order in an Apple store.

An Apple remote adviser has spent a considerable amount of time with me over the phone trying to identify how my Apple account was possibly compromised. Going through the Apps and browser add-ons on my computer (MacOS Ventura) , he concluded that likely, my Apple password was stolen through the Awesome Screenshot Firefox browser add-on.

I would like to ask your opinion whether you think it is possible that this would be the case.

Further info

  • I haven't actually used the given add-on for long time
  • I have an active ESET firewall on my computer. After the incident, I ran a full scan, and the firewall didn't find anything.

Hi there -

I just downloaded FireFox as my default browser on my new MacBook. Previously I was able to update the settings for how downloads behave. But I can't seem to find what I need now. Currently, when I download a file, FireFox ALSO opens it in a new tab...I don't want it to do that. I just want to download the file, but cannot find where to turn off its ability to also open the file in a new tab as I don't want it to do that.

Thank you for your help!

Is it possible to customize mouse middle click (scroll click) so when I middle-click on a tab it will duplicate it?

I don't know how, but it seemed intuitive to me. I was shocked it closed a tab. So I wondered, if this action closes a tab it, why shouldn't it be possible to modify the action so it duplicates a tab?

Thanks in advance.

extension MANAGER shortcut is now locked on the right side of firefox task bar how can i revert it to have the functionality it used to before firefox update earlier in 2023?

It works like a pocket now and it sucks, the fixed location sucks, the fact that opten now I can't even use browser extensions really [removed] sucks, half the time it won't even show my my active extensions so I cant add them to the tool bar and they are useless. What code needshanged to set it back to the old way before firefox made dumb ass decisions and [removed] up one of my faviorate things about the browser.

I've actually been using chrome now which im not a fan of but you guys went from the awesome Fire Fox the Lame Fail Fox!

On my computer, Firefox keep loading my wife's email by default. I checked that my email is still listed as the primary email in my Firefox account. And I can log into my email. But every time I restart Firefox, it loads my wife's email, even when I click on my email bookmark. How do I fix this?

Usernamedrop down menu not working

Firefox used to save the entered usernames regardless of whether you saved the password as well. When they did the major update a couple of years ago (might have been 2020 but I think it was early 2021) and introduced the new login manager, that list stopped working and I had to type out the entire username every single time. It suddenly started working again last year and now I'm setting up a new laptop and once again, Firefox will not save the username in a dropdown menu. I use a particular website that has well over 100 different usernames for work that I do and having to type out the whole username every time I log in (I'm logging in and out upwards of 50 times a day in the spring each year) is a huge time waster over the course of a workday.

There must be some sort of setting change that can be done or patch to make the username box behave like the old Firefox. I do NOT want passwords to be saved on this site (it contains personal info for over 1000 people) but do want the username saved so all I have to do is type a portion of the username and it pulls it out of the menu. For example, it could have a username of firefox23 or firefox112 and all I have to do is type in 23 or 112 and it pulls up the rest of the username I need out of the dropdown menu.
