hi, i have a dozen extensions that i wouldn't mind keeping in case i want to use them sometime, though i know you're supposed to keep extensions to a minimum to avoid complications and slowness. Does disabling add-ons avoid the problems just like deleting them altogether would? thanks!

My bookmarks toolbar disappeared. I was able to restore it, but it's blank. Using an add-in, I can show my bookmarks in a side pane. That pane does show a Bookmarks Toolbar folder, which has the expected contents.

Additional issue: how do I rearrange my toolbars. The desired order, from top to bottom is title menu navigation tabs bookmarks

Much thanks!

I am in the USA. Every time, on any page or website that I need to provide credit card info, when I click in the box to type in the CC numbers/expiration date/CCV, a window pops up as it should (for auto-fill) with my credit card information. In that window, I can scroll over the different credit cards, click on the one I want to use, and it SHOULD auto-fill into the box where the numbers would normally be typed in. Now, the window still pops up and I can scroll over the credit cards and choose one, but when I click on any of the particular credit cards, the auto-fill doesn't work. The boxes in "settings" are checked to allow auto-fill. It worked for months, then just stopped. Thanks for your assistance!

I am highly distractable by screen movements of any kind, and prefer that nothing on my screen moves unless I ask it to--no autoplay or running ribbons of text or even slideshows with pictures slipping past each other unless I specifically click to make something move. But none of the adjustments I've found in about:config have stopped the snowflakes that drift down across the screen on

during December. I'd like to stop them in my viewing but not be the killjoy that demands they be taken down for everyone, because lots of people actually like them.

Any suggestions on what setting to tweak for this?

I've been using Elijah Lopez's Matte Black (Red) theme for months. Recently, I think because I added the ClearURLs extension or some other change, certain websites enter some sort of "dark mode" when accessed.

Websites that do this include Twitter, an independent blog, and Youtube.

The website appears normally with the default light theme enabled. In the second photo, the website appears in the "dark mode" with the black Firefox theme enabled.

I have deleted cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, and reinstalled Extensions. I think this problem only occurs with dark themes, and nothing else. The moment I change to dark theme, the problem comes back. It is strange because the dark theme was working just fine for months until recently.

How can I keep the dark theme, preferably the same Elijah Lopez's dark theme, while using websites normally and not in this weird "dark theme" style adaptation?

Telling me how to restore it and how to make avoid it happens again. The enclosed picture shows the effect. The blank space is as if it was transparent, as I can click on objects behind them (although I cannot see them, as the blank space is not transparent). It is really a nuance. Are there any shortcuts from keyboard to restore it? Most solutions I read do not work as they say things like "click that button in the menu, or toolbar, or so" but they are simply not there!!!! Thanks for the attention. G

Any advice to achieve the expected functionality? Thank you

I have been using the theme Dark from Mozilla for years and years, but suddenly, like in the last 3 days or so, it appears that it is forcing every single freaking website to use dark mode, and I don't want it to do that.

I tried the "Colors" option in the "Fonts and Colors" section, but didn't that isn't at all what I want. Thing is, if I change to a "Light Theme", it forces the sites that I want to be in dark mode to be in light mode.

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I want Firefox to save files without asking. I need it for E2E test automation, recentyl something has to change in update because even in GUI I don't see an option to remember my choice. In case of E2E framework I had a setting which was working but now stopped to work:

desiredCapabilities: {

               browserName: 'firefox',
               alwaysMatch: {
                   'moz:firefoxOptions': {
                       prefs : {
                           "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",

Hi. I made my own custom theme a few weeks ago, and I liked it. It has a dark toolbar, but the automatic new tab was still light. I liked it this way. I updated the browser today, and now it's essentially in dark mode and I can't find how to change it back. I really hate white text on a black background, and as I did not choose that as part of my custom theme, I would really appreciate being given the choice to change it back.

To avoid neck strain, I have my browser window set to fill only the lower part of my screen - not maximized.

When I open regular FF, it opens the window to the desired size & position. But when I then open a private window, it opens in the right size, but at the top of the screen, and I have to move it down every time - which strains my neck. Is there any setting I can change so that the private window will open in the same size & position as the regular window?

I have recently updated directly from v89 to v92.0.2. Since then, I do not have the task manager option in the dropdown menu > More tools. Screenshot attached shows what I mean. This issue does not exist on a new profile if I were to make one, but I am trying my best to avoid transferring everything to a new profile if I have to.

If the only solution is to indeed use a new profile, I would like to know if there's a way to transfer addons and their settings through file copying and pasting.

Thank you for the help!

Using Firefox 65.0 (64 bit) PC Browser

When I close a window (by mistake) I no longer get the previous warning; "I am closing multiple tabs, do I wish to do this?" (or similar). I have twice closed multiple open tabs by mistake in this way.

I thought it was a restart that was responsible when I lost a lot of open tabs in (&) one window, until it happened again but this time I know what happened I closed the window, but the usual warning ws not received.  Please, please, reinstate this.

It might help also to have the close tab 'x' further away from the close window 'X'.

Can these be done?
