I enjoy this handy addon, but it's got a couple bugs

Default Bookmark Folder

It's a recommended addon, but It seems that it's no longer being supported. Version is two years old, and issues reported on github are not responded to.

I wonder if anyone could recommend another addon with the same features.

bold text My FF web pages are way too wide and I have to scroll all the time from side to side, to see the whole page, back and forth! Hate it! Not workable. Not only that, the menu texts (not the fonts on the page) are way too small, unless I reduce the whole page with the limited percentage size, and then none of it is readable to me. For a while 67% size helped but not even that works right and I am CONSTANTLY trying to adjust things so I can see them! It used to work great and now it is a CONSTANT BATTLE TO FUNCTION!

Dialing a phone number with Google Voice worked before, but now fails. It prompts me to Register for that feature https://voice.google.com/calls?forceBanner=tel-registration but when I click on that link, nothing happens. [See first picture]

Settings | General | Applications seems to show 'tel' is assigned to Google Voice [see second picture] so as per a Google Voice help dialog, I changed it it 'always ask' [third picture]. This did no solve the problem.

Hi, difficult to find this way to write you...

I reset my Mac and thought Firefox would keep all my bookmarks for when I would reinstall Firefox and synchronize all my bookmarks, like I always did. It was not necessary to export and to keep them, because I have never had problems before and I trusted Firefox.

Now this did not happen and I lost if not thousands of my bookmarks I have gather in years... I'm very disappointed, for the first time.

Do you have a cache or something or other solution so I can get my bookmarks back? Thanks.

Denis Jockmans.

2 step authentication does not get saved that i have to enter a code every time when i log in. it should have been secure for then next 30 days as the check box selected. it seems it's a big issue for so many users that i found no solution. this issue is so bad and it easily is one of the reasons they are skipping this browser.

Having an issue with a link not displaying in Firefox 105.0.5 (64-bit).

It’s the “read more” link on this url: https://www.swansonvitamins.com/p/swanson-premium-triple-magnesium-complex-400-mg-300-caps

The “read me” link doesn’t display in Firefox but displays properly using:

      Brave (1.45.123)
      Chrome (107.0.5307.107) (Hate Google)
      Internet Explorer 11 (11.0.170)
      Microsoft Edge (107.1418.35)

I searched “firefox some links don't display” and tried the solutions I found to no avail.

Tried these:

      Turned VPN off.
      Started in Troubleshoot Mode.
      Removed cookies and site data for this site.
      Turned Enhanced Tracking off for this site.

With all of these settings (at once, not one at a time) and closing and reopening Firefox (in Troubleshoot Mode) the “read more” link still doesn’t display.

Attached image showing how the link displays in Brave and how it doesn't display in Firefox.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm writing this because this problem is very frustrating. Quite frequently my games (e.g. Valorant, Overwatch) will start lagging if I have Firefox open in the background. To fix this, I have to close and reopen Firefox. Sometimes, I would open a tab while gaming and that would also cause the game to lag.

In game, the ping starts at the normal level then rises before falling back down to normal.

Are there any solutions?

Regards Thomas

I am so fed up losing my pinned tabs.

I want a Firefox facility where I can have permanently pinned(locked tabs) and normal pinned tabs.

The permanent ones must not be able to be removed without myself physically clicking and removing them individually and are persistent when opening new browser instances, cannot be cleaned/removed by other cleaner programs are not saved in History.

Permanently pinned tabs should show a mark on the tab like a red padlock.

I use One Tab, but that has it's down side in that it clears my Tabs from the browser in to one single tab and then it is difficult to manage them, there are others and they all have their failings.

Please provide this locked tab facility.

Firefox list all my stored insecure passwords. How could I remove all (+700) insecure passwords? Not one by one but all together?

Thanks.

btw this solution is not working

Yes, you can - only since the update to Firefox version 73 the extension "xul" has been changed to "xhtml", so now you will have to enter this in the address bar :

chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xhtml

Since this address give me error
