Hello, I have Facebook Container installed (Windows 11) on my desktop. However, if I click a link to a FB page, say in an email or on a webpage, Facebook opens onto the current tab and makes it a container tab. Since I can not go back once FB is opened in the container tab, I have to open a new tab and go back to the original (pre FB) webpage. This is the only time this happens.

What settings can I change so that the Facebook Container opens Facebook into a new tab, not on top of an existing open tab?

Many thanks for the millions of us that are computer challenged.

I have Bing as my homepage, but on one computer I have a very annoying problem. I click on the settings to turn off 'Show news and interests' and 'Show trending on Bing', but the next time I come back to the homepage these settings have turned themselves back on. What do I have to do to retain these settings?

Hello. I was curious and allowed accuweather but now I regret that and want to get rid of it. But I cannot find it anywhere on my Firefox account, I have been loking everywhere but cannot find anyway to delete accuweather. It feels like a malware and I cannot get rid of it. Please help.

I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.

I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.

More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?

Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

I use Free Download Manager v3.97 along with FF Free Download Manager extension v3.22 to download files from Easynews.com. This issue may have nothing to do with Firefox except that the problem started a couple of days ago about the time 1.46.0 was installed.

When I right-click to download a video file, FDM is configure to automatically start the download. But downloads are not starting automatically now. FDM just shows the download with an hour glass figure. I have to manually stop then start the download.

Hi, I am working on an extension which fetches my google calendar events and shows them nicely as graphs and summarizes the events. I need a CLIENT_ID in for getting an access token from google (OAuth2). I got one from my google cloud console but I don't think I should push that to the add-ons site.

I am quite new to this javascript/browser world and don't know where to go from here. It would be great if people can just download my add-on and just use it without providing a client ID and zipping it themselves. I asked this question on stack overflow and they marked it as off-topic :_).

So far I couldn't find any information related to this on the web.

Is there any addon or feature within addons management icon (from toolbar) to Disable Extensions and Apps in one-click like Chrome has via this addon?

How can I stop advertisers from changing my 'Settings' fields 'Home page and new windows' to their URL which brings up their page before I can enter my password? I'm on Linux Desk Top.

The built-in translation feature in the browser is a great feature. In the settings I have loaded Ukrainian language but when I click on the translation button at the end of the address bar it is not displayed in the list. Can you please tell me what I need to do to display the language I need?

With Firefox's latest update...

1. Javascript no longer works on pages it absolutely must work. The webpage for my security cameras not longer allow me to operate the cameras. When I click pan/tilt/zoom button all I get is a little message that says "Jacascript" at the bottom right corner where there should be a url. I've never actually paid attention on the security cams page but the url is there on other websites. I have to have this functionality. How do I re-enable Javascript for at least this page?

2. Deactivated extensions are not actually deactivated. To trouble shoot the first problem I disabled NoScript and ADblock Plus to see if they were interfering. I closed and reopened Firefox, and even restarted my PC. Firefox shows the extension to be disabled but they are in fact still active and working. Something is extremely broken in Firefox's extension manager. Is there anyway to actually disable these extensions without removing them?

Thanks

I have just re-installed MW due to probs using the original one, but now I cannot enter my registration code,(life time) there is no where to do so it seems,have looked everywhere?

I recently discovered a problem with an addon I wanted to report. The product page only has an email support link, which opens up MIcrosoft Mail. I prefer not to use it.

Is there any other way to get the developers email address?

Also, this link does not work

I have just got a new laptop and installed everything in relation to Firefox onto it. I have used the Nordpass extension for a couple of years and on the old laptop this is version 5.23.13 updated 16/10/24. On visiting the add-on and extension site today there is only a legacy version 4.33 updated 2y ago which clearly no longer works. Where has it gone. Clearly I am going to ask the same question of Nord, but I hope you can help.
