When I download files, a list of the files appears, and does not go away unless I click somewhere off the list. The list hides a good portion of the screen. How do I turn this feature off. This did not happen until the latest Firefox update.

The option "always open similar files" is not shown in the downloaded file context menu. This occurs on 2 machines running Windows 7 64 bit. A third machine also running Windows 7 64 bit shows it correctly. All three machines have Firefox 98.0.1 installed.

Please advise how to resolve this.

For most extensions, there is an option to enable them in private windows; for both Multi-Account Containers and Temporary Containers, however, they cannot be used in private tabs with no option to allow them to. Is there any reason for this, and any way I can bypass the missing toggle?

For over a year (just over a year on this computer and a few more years on a different computer) I have had a custom theme at the top appearing from the file menu through the address bar. The computers have also always had the New Tab menu being a light colored screen. I turn on the computer today, to find I guess Firefox updated last night? and completely got rid of the lightness of that page to make it dark, leaving me on the verge of a migraine every time I have to look at that thing.

How do I get rid of that dark page, back to the lighter version WITHOUT getting rid of my custom banner at the top? (yes I tried to use the light extension in theme and that gets rid of the banner and leaves me with a horrible white at the top which is just as big of an issue for me as all the black. I really need that like muted Tan back.)

How to create and try a spell-checker of a new language?

I am working an open source dictionary project for a language that isn't yet listed on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ Specifically it is the Ladino (Judeo-Espanyol) language using the Latin abc, though the specific language probably does not matter.

I would like to be able to create the necessary files to make it easy for others to install and use this add-on. (and get it listed on that page) I would also like to be able to try it in my browser (running on Linux btw) before I submit it to Mozilla.

If I understand it correctly first I need to create the .dic and .aff files used by hunspell. I've done this. I can use the spell-checker on the command line.

Is that correct? What now? How do I package these files so I can install them locally? How do I submit it to Mozilla? And a bit later: how will I be able to update the version served by Mozilla?

BTW the source of the project is here: https://github.com/szabgab/ladino-diksionaryo-data/

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello. I am writing because I have used the blog/search, and the answers do not work. I am trying to ascertain how to:

I. Ensure Javascript is on. (The blog told me to type settings.config directly into the address bar.)

II. Type a web address in and go to it directly rather than having it always search via the preferred search engine (DuckDuckGo). It offers me every option in the Awesome Bar drop down menu (Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, etc.) except going directly to a website. I have already tried turning off the default, "Use the address bar for search and navigation," and switched to "Add searchbar in toolbar." Both still automatically search with DuckDuckGo and do not give any option to go directly to a website. This is incredibly frustrating! I don't want Awesome Bar; I just want an IP bar. What happened to plain old-fashioned Internet browsing, please?

Thank you for advising. I cannot contact Harvard IT about their website requiring Javascript until I ensure that Javascript is enabled.

Pax, Aaron

Hello, today i installed metamask and set up many accounts. Roughly 10 hours later my metamask just crashed and disappeared from my extension toolbar bar. I restarted firefox to see if the problem would be fixed and the add on was still missing from the toolbar. I went into the add ons and themes settings and it was not installed to my surprise. I selected install and now it doesn't recognize my old wallet. I am certain it is the add on. I have the seed phrase, however from my understanding not all accounts appear when reentering the seed phrase. I am not sure what else to do in order to restore all of my old accounts attache to this seedphrase.

Why is this happening in firefox? Will it happen again if i continue to use firefox with metamask?

I just switched back to Firefox and found that now when you download a file, you have to click on the little arrow next to the status bar to see the downloaded files.

I much prefer the way Chrome handles this. Whenever you download a file, it automatically shows a bar at the bottom of the screen showing the file progress, so you can immediately take actions like cancelling, or navigating to the file directory.

Is it possible to have Firefox display the downloads window automatically whenever you download a file?

Thanks! -Alterius

When I go to settings > applications > content type, why can I not find .ics files? When I previously opened .ics files, I could open them directly in Outloook. After a Firefox update, I am now forced to save the file, then open it, and then it will go to Outlook. Please either go back to the old browser, or add .ics files to the drop-down menu so the .ics files work as they used to. The "help" that already exists online does not help me at all because my browser does not give me the .ics file option

Right shift does work and opens a private window, but left shift does not.

The issue persists in safe mode/troubleshoot mode. I don't have permanent private browsing mode on. I can still open private windows by clicking on the "New private window" option, if that's of concern.

Troubleshooting data is attached.

Thanks for any help!

I have visually-induced vertigo/supermarket syndrome.

I have a hard time aviding accidental scrolling in the new print modals. @#$%^ modals. Because of the accidental scrolling, because they scroll in front of other elements in the same window, and because the modals aren't designed for page down, and because they don't integrate with system-level print options, these don't work for me.

So far I've been using the system print dialogues instead of the Firefox and Thunderbird print modals, but I accidentally updated Thunderbird a few months ago, and lost access to the system print dialogues.
