Hi. There is a new feature of Firefox that bothers me. It is when I drag tabs around the top, they try to group when I don't want them to. So I go to about:config and find the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" key and set it to false. But when I restart Firefox, the change reverts. How do I fix this so the change stays?

I've already tried going to Menu->Help->More troubleshooting information->Profile Folder->Open folder, but there is no "user.js" file there. Do I have to do a Firefox reset to fix this? I hope not...

Note that I'm pretty sure that other settings that I change do not revert when I restart Firefox. Right now, it seems to be just this one about:config setting, unless the new version of Firefox reverts all manually changed about:config settings upon restart.

Thanx in advance for any help.

Hi community!

For some reason, the short description of an email is now under the subject instead of besides it in the overview. This does something to my head that, atleast for me, makes it cluttery and hard to hover over who sent me email. I want a column with who sent me mail, then I want right of it a short description, the start of the mail, just like it always was. It takes vertical space so less email is visible and my head has to switch from "from" to "content" to "from" to "content" which is for some reason very tiring. It's one of the reasons I hate outlook... Please don't tell me Thunderbird changed into outlook -_-

How do I change this back to the way it was?

Hi there!

Is there a way to define the view in which pdf files are opened by default?

When I open a pdf file it opens in "Automatic Zoom." Is it possible to set pdf's to open in "page width" or a different zoom setting?

Kind regards

For several months I have been getting all these woke "news" popups from Firefox in the bottom right corner of my PC screen. I use firefox as my default browser and don't feel like uninstalling, but soon I will have to because it is so annoying when I am trying to play a game and firefox comes along and tries to brainwash me with its woke agenda. I mean, today it's giving me a popup telling me to go plant-based for a month, WHEN IT'S LITERALLY CARNIVORE MONTH. HOW DO I REMOVE THIS BULL****!?!?!?

Firefox went through a pretty major change recently. i could see I had to change my toolbar customisation back to how I wanted it. However, I have about half a dozen add-ons controlled via icons on the browser, but all the icons are gone and I see no way to get them back.

I don't care about cookies Cookie Editor Disable Javascript Tab Auto Refresh uBlock Origin

Until the recent Firefox update I could switch these add-ons on or off whenever I wanted via icons on the menu toolbar. I now see no way to get these controls back.

I miss being able to chose which language to translate to on a per-site basis AND the browser remember that setting. If you want to permanently translate to a specific language you have to change the preferred display language for all websites as I understand it. Actually it would suffice to be able to set a standard language to translate to, but independent of the preferred display language.

I know Firefox Translate is still Beta so perhaps this important enhancement is in the pipeline?

Shouldn't a "resize" mouse icon appear when I hover the mouse at the right edge of the search field in my toolbar? It doesn't appear anymore after I accidentally clicked on "Restore Defaults" in the bottom right corner in the "Customize Firefox" menu and then "Restore" again and restarted Firefox again. Is this a new Firefox bug? :/ I already tried in safe-mode too

Is there somebody to answer my questions please? For the first site, it is impossible to have the PDF document when clicking the button. For the second, when I click to the "buy tickets" button, it doesn't work. What's wrong with the Firefox navigator????????????? Thank you.

Just noticed the book mark banner under the URL line. It is taking up screen space. How do I get rid of it? How did it get displayed? Did some searching but no positive results. Not sure what to search for, definitely not book mark. If I delete the items from the banner are they deleted from my list of book marks. Some of these\book marks I do not remember saving? Where did they come from, some AI search or paid for vendor adds?

After the Dec 10 update to 133.0.3 (aarch64) on my MacBook Air macOS 15.1.1, all of the menu keystroke options are greyed out. Also, in Settings, Firefox is selected as the default browser, but the option is greyed out so that it is not possible to change. I've disabled all add-ons except my password program, tried troubleshooting mode, and restarted.

After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

Hi. I did a clean install of Windows 11 yesterday. I reinstalled Firefox with the TreeStyletabs addon. I had saved the old sessionstore files so I thought it would be easy to get my tabs back.

Two things happens.

1) If I copy over a sessionstore.jsonlz4 to the profilefolder, it gets overwritten byt FireFox when I start the browser. 2) If I don't do that and instead click History and then Restore Previous Session Firefox will use the previousjsonlz4 and restore my tabs . But I have to do it everytime I start Firefox. It does 'remember' what I did.

How can I fix this?

In the previous version of Firefox I could install a multiple language keyboard layouts in the upper right row. I had to reset everything with a new HDD and Ubuntu 24, which comes with Firefox for Linux as well. Now I can't find how to install those shortcuts that I had before. I need to use Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, German and US keyboards (UK is standard with UK English as primary choice). Thank you for your help.

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

I am using Mozilla Firefox Developers Edition for Windows 11. Recently I have encountered a problem where my bookmarks are constantly disappearing from the panel and toolbar elements are changing places (like the arrows or the reload button).

I read the support and came across three articles about problems with this. The first two were xulstore and Places.sqlite files, which I deleted and followed the instructions in the article, reset the browser settings, but nothing happened. The third article was about the profile, I went in and saw that I had two profiles, which I deleted and created a new one, completely previously removed the browser from the device. But again, nothing happened.

I think this started when I started using the built-in Windows 11 workspace feature (multiple desktops, I opened two browsers at the same time). It was after this that my bookmarks and toolbar changed in the pre-login in the application.

I would appreciate help with this issue.

Hello, I would like to create shortcuts that I can type into the address bar and go to a specific website/url. In chrome I used a function that looked something like the image I uploaded. I don't know if Firefox has this function, I couldn't find it
