My old Macbook Pro died and I had to buy a new one. So, I couldn't migrate anything from the old one. I lost all my bookmarks and other things.

I had some great extensions for Firefox that I can't find anymore for YouTube.


1. Enhancer - I think that was the name. It gave me a lot of options when watching YouTube videos like closed captioning, the speed of the videos which I could slow down or speed up. Things like that.

2. A great Ad blocker. I had plenty of those on Safari but none as great as this one for YouTube on Firefox. I didn't have to watch one ad. I really don't remember the name of that one.

Any help would be appreciated. These ad-ons made Firefox so much more enjoyable.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just got a new Macbook Pro and it has Ventura on it. My last Mac had Catalina on it where I was able to make a folder in Firefox bookmarks and put it on the toolbar where I could see and access it at all times. Then when I wanted to add something to it, I could. It was so easy.

Now I made a folder and put a website in it, but it doesn't show up on the toolbar. I have to click on bookmarks, then bookmark toolbar in the dropdown list, then I can see the folder and the contents, but it's a process, not just there on the toolbar like before. I hope I this made sense. https://imgur.com/XRKq4tY

Sorry, I'm not sure how to use the urls here.  I clicked on the "paper clip" but didn't know where to go from there.  Luckily I knew about Imgur.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

How can I permanently disable the Firefos own print preview in MacOS Ventura. For me and my customers the Firefox own print preview is a real imposition and not acceptable for MacOS users.

Some big customers have banned Firefox from their iMac's for this reason.

Furthermore, since MacOS Ventura, Firefox does not send any print preview images to the MacOS printer preview.

There must be a setting, it can't be that Mozilla dictates to the MacOS users which MacOS Apps may be used or not.


Original question: Original Frage: Wie kann ich die eigene Firefos-Druckvorschau bei MacOS Ventura dauerhaft ausschalten. Für mich und meine Kunden ist die Firefox eigene Druckvorschau eine echte Zumutung und nicht akzeptierbar für MacOS Nutzer.

Einige große Kunden haben den Firefox aus diesem Grund von ihren iMac´s verbannt.

Des weiteren werden seit MacOS Ventura vom Firefox keinerlei Druck-Vorschau-Bilder, an den MacOS eigenen Drucker-Vorschau gesannt.

Es muss doch eine Einstellung geben, es kann doch nicht sein, das Mozilla den MacOS Benutzern vorschreibt welche MacOS Apps benutzt werden dürfen oder nicht.

Imac and using Firefox browser Trying to login to a website. When click on shortcut to site goes directly to session expired message-

 "Your session has expired.  You will be automatically redirected to the home page, or you may click below to return immediately. 
Sometimes will take me to login page and I fill my login credentials, then hit enter and  sends me back to "session expired message".  

Sometimes generates another message randomly- "It appears you have duplicated a browser tab or window, or re-opened a closed tab. For security, this is not allowed.

To continue working, close this window and return to the original, or click below to start over.

Only does this on this webpage and can login to all other webpages with login. Used to be able to login in with no problem but now cannot. Tried with different browser(Safari, Chrome) mostly use Firefox. Also I am able to login to the site using my iphone with no problem.

Hi there -

I just downloaded FireFox as my default browser on my new MacBook. Previously I was able to update the settings for how downloads behave. But I can't seem to find what I need now. Currently, when I download a file, FireFox ALSO opens it in a new tab...I don't want it to do that. I just want to download the file, but cannot find where to turn off its ability to also open the file in a new tab as I don't want it to do that.

Thank you for your help!

I love the containers and have been using it for a long time already, but one thing that I couldn't find a solution is to have two URL's within the same domain to "always open" in different containers.

I do have other examples, but the basic ones is github and azure devops.

I have my own place and my company one, they have the same domain but different logins (GitHub not quite, but it has a second authentication on top of it for the enterprise one), basically it happens like that:

Company: https://dev.azure.com/CompanyName Persona: https://dev.azure.com/Mine

When I set to always open in a container for each of them, both goes to the same container, which is annoying because I have a different login for each of them, for GitHub is kinda similar, I do use my personal github account for my companies one as well, but for my companies organization there is AAD integration and so I need to have it authentication with the AAD on top of my regular login, and "my companies container" is the only one already authenticated there.

I'm running on a Mac with current OS and default settings for Firefox. However, many websites -- and here I'm talking standard corporate stuff in US English -- are substituting a y with an umlaut for "fi". It's not happening in for all, but it's happening a lot.

Please see attached. No matter how many times I correctly typed "Office", it rendered as pictured. I also see this with downloaded HTML, i.e. not just me entering it, just the simple rendering of a webpage.

Any thoughts on what might be the issue are much appreciated.

Is there a way to keep pinned tabs on the current website? I would like to pin a few tabs that persist even if I use the URL bar to navigate away from it.

Let's say I have gmail as a pinned tab. Currently if I'm in gmail and I type in a different URL then gmail is no longer available, I'd like firefox to know that I want to keep gmail open and it would open the URL in a different tab. Is this a possibility or is there an extension that could help with this?

Please find a way to help us restore session once lost. Going into Library retrieving and copying should not be the only way - and times history is gone.

Is there not an easier way to create a daily back-up withing Firefox to simply hit 'Restore' ?

This is extremely time consuming - when multiple history is lost while researching. There MUST be an easier way to help us with this ongoing issue. Thank you for my current headache, and loss of time.

Have a 2019 Mac with latest Firefox software installed. Can no longer use the scroll wheel on the mouse to adjust fonts to variable sizes on web pages and closed-captioning on YouTube. Instead, the entire image (page/video) either enlarges or shrinks. Sometimes there is no adjustment at all when I use the scroll wheel.

This feature still works correctly on my 2011 Mac/Firefox (i.e., CMD+scroll wheel adjusts the font size).

Do you know how to restore the settings on the 2019 Mac so it will once again allow variable font size adjustment on web pages and closed captioning/subtitles?

fedex.com has broken my browser!

I have a FedEx account for my business, but I no longer use it. However, I also receive packages from FedEx from time to time. For reasons that cannot be explained by anyone at FedEx, my Firefox browser will not allow me to create a new FedEx account to manage my deliveries. In other words, after I enter my new username & password, the FedEx website comes back with a failure message with words to the effect that, "This didn't work, please refresh your page."

I called FedEx tech support & learned they are now totally incompetent. The only solution that was offered was "Clear all of your browser history". I didn't fall for that - I did however delete all history with "fedex" in the link. I also removed all 31 cookies associated with fedex.com. Then, I re-started the browser, and tried again:

Upon summoning the fedex.com login page, the login information was pre-filled with the userid & password for my old, unused business account! How does this happen without cookies or history? Where is fedex.com getting this data? Is it stored on my browser - or does fedex.com have some nefarious scheme whereby they're using my computer id or IP or???

I need to delete every shred of data in my browser that is associated with FedEx - how do I do this?

I'm on FF Beta v105.0b6, and a recent upgrade (I'm guessing from 104 to 105) has caused popup windows to be ghosted when saving files, leaving only the file selector field visible and floating above the main window, often indistinguishable from the text below it. I've been able to work around this by temporarily jumping to another screen or window and then back to find the complete popup window magically revealed.

I've attached two clips from windows a see after clicking Download link on the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ page. This ghost behavior also happens on pages where I right-click context to "save as" or click download link for TXT, PDF, PKG or other types of files.

This doesn't seem to be a popup blocking issue, since my FF is not configured to block these specific sites and the popup is minimally visible. Also, the temporary workaround of simply switching my view away and back points more to a page rendering issue.

I'd appreciate any ideas on resolving or preventing this behavior. If these clues point to a bug, I hope they help resolve the issue.

Thanks for any suggestions!
