Firefox Support Forum

Only the bottom half of the "Reload current page" icon is active. Moving the pointer above this turns off the gray square around the icon turns off its functionality. Is there a hack which can fix this?

Firefox 97 installed itself , and now I have two print dialogs each time I go to print something. I have the system print dialog , and the Firefox print dialog. Does anyone one know a way to turn of the Firefox dialog in 97?

I fixed it in earlier versions by setting

print.tab_modal.enabled = false

...but in Firefox 97 it seems this no longer does the job.

Grateful for any advice.

I have always had the Print UI disabled by setting print.tab_modal.enabled to FALSE. Since the Version 97 update today, this is not working. The FALSE setting is still there under about:config but the Print UI dialogue now keeps coming up.

In the last Firefox update, you changed the printing user interface AGAIN. The print.tab_modal.enabled=false config option no longer works, and I can't easily re-scale my page when I print. Is there a new option which restores the original behavior or is there some other remedy that will let me print using the Windows System dialogue?

Hi, how do we set Firefox 97 to use the os/system print dialog?

Before Firefox 97 we could change these settings in about:config:

print.tab_modal.enabled = false widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal = true

But they are both gone now.

There is now widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.print, which is an integer (2 by default).

But no matter what integer it is set to, we still don't get the os/system print dialog.

We are using Arch Linux, but we don't expect that to be of any importance -- after all, it worked before Firefox 97.

Thanks for your time :o)

How can I restore my old system print dialog window as my default, instead of getting the horrible new print window that now appears? I have already set both the print.tab_modal.enabled preference and the app.normandy.startupRolloutPrefs.print.tab_modal.enabled preference to FALSE. This did NOT solve the problem! I knew updating Firefox to version 97 would be a huge mistake, and of course it was. I'm so irritated...

I'm using Windows 10 Professional. Any help greatly appreciated.

I just had a glitch with the latest update to 102b, FF insisted I had an old version and would only let me make a new profile. So I had to set up multi-account containers again. I have specific sites opening up in each container, and I'd like to make a copy to make sure that if my profile gets goofed up somehow, I can always easily restore my setup with multiaccount containers just the way I like it.

What do I need to copy, so that with a new profile, all I need to do is copy over some files?

In my profile folder, I see an Extensions folder, as well as an extensions.json and extensions-settings.json.

Are those the only folders/files I'd need to restore multi-account containers on a new profile?

I have thought of using FF Sync, but I keep reading that it is not intended for copying, so much as sharing across different devices, which is not something I'm interested in. Should I just let sync copy my extensions, and then sign back in, in the event I want to restore addons to a new profile?

Hello there , I am trying to modify the menu-bar dropdown items when I hover over the list that opens with my mouse ( the dropdown list of any of Help , Tools , Bookmarks , History etc...). It is barely noticeable. I can hardly see the item chosen. I could use some help using the css. I am using FF93 and my platform is win7. Thanks look4

When i open settings there are no options in the general page it is just a blank page . i have cleared all cookies uninstalled Firefox 2 times then reinstalled and still nothing there. If i click the Home tab under General then i get options . But if click the General tab again nothing changes. Tia.

Hello, i am looking for a way to permanently remove pocket suggestions that involve anything lgbtq+ what ever the + means lol. And anything liberal,i was looking for a more conservative home page when i downloaded firefox and its nothing like i thought. And getting rid of the bs liberal anti-gun crap would be nice also. Thanks.

Can I please know the command to activate the swipe left gesture to go back in a site, please?? Right now it is set to- Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate.

It would be genuinenly helpful if you could tell me the command to activate the back and forward gestures.

Regards, Labeeb.

I currently have this add-on installed. It allows you to you highlight certain text, then right click and open up a link to Wiktionary in another tab. Up until a few minutes ago, this menu item was at the very top of the list (i.e. above "undo" and all the rest), but now it's been moved down with all the other add-ons. Image for further clarity.

The add-on hasn't been updated in 6 years, so it's certainly not that. I don't recall doing anything to make it change, but before this, it had been at the top of the menu ever since I added it maybe 2 years ago. Is there any potential way to restore this functionality? The fact that it appeared at the very top of the menu might have been a bug, but if that's the case, it was certainly a convenient one.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you fine folks in this community.

Some time within the last day, an extension I use to turn direct image link pages white has stopped working. For context, I use the dark theme provided default by Firefox. I need it for almost all other pages. But when it comes to viewing images, almost all are intended to be viewed on a white background so up till now I used the extension "Image Background Color Picker" to force the page to be white. I never had an issue with this until today.

The extension is still functioning, I can see the lines of code its running on the page using inspect element. It has a feature that creates a checkered background instead of a flat color, which does also work if I turn that on. What I realized is that it seems like suddenly Firefox is using a flat .png as a background image for seemingly no reason? If it worked this way before, it did not interfere with extensions until now. When I disable this through the inspect feature the background underneath is white like intended. This is consistent even if I disable all relevant Add-ons. I've attached image examples of this, with no Add-Ons that should be effecting the page running.

How can I get this to go away? Is there a way to go into Firefox's config and disable it through there? I don't want to have to keep installing more and more Add-ons seeing as Firefox can barely handle the ones I do run. I'm unable to use an ad-blocker to block it because they can't detect the .png on their own, presumably because its a Firefox asset instead of a webpage element? I have no clue. I just want to fix this. I can't use the light theme due to eye strain so for now I'm stuck disabling this .png manually every time I open an image.

How do I get info about an installed extension or add on? Clicking runs it. Right click will pin it or remove it. It is for a screen shot and there are pages of them. Which one do I have?

Upgrading my Linux install to a current version, and in so doing, discovered newer versions of both Firefox and Thunderbird totally disregard title bars and other window decorations. As I run Fluxbox, those are kinda necessary, and the browser and email client both lack essential elements like a close button without them. Many, MANY suggestions to check the "Customize..." but, that doesn't seem to exist in 101? What exists instead is "Customize Toolbar...", which does not have the little checkbox in the lower left corner to re-enable the title bar.

Any suggestions?

I have started using Pocket, as a way to share between my tablet and my laptop. I now have my new tab page on my laptop set to show recommended articles from Pocket.

Is there a way to increase the frequency whereby these recommended links are updated?

I'm using and old operating system on my computer, and the latest version of Firefox seems to overtax my graphics card, even with the most mundane websites and functions. So, I had to downgrade versions to the one just previous to today's update to even get here. However, it makes you create a new profile instead of using an existing one. Is there some way to get around this?
