Firefox Support Forum

Previously I've been able to select search suggestions using the keyboard when typing into a search bar. As of a few days ago this no longer works on some sites like YouTube, but does work on others like Google. The issue is not to do with num lock or scroll lock, and my browser is up to date (124.0.1 Ubuntu Snap version).

Hi.

Similar to this question: https://support.mozilla.org/ln/questions/1291938

I would like to know how to customize "autoconfig.js" or "firefox.cfg" so that the home page is focused instead of the address bar when I open Firefox.

I the linked question, the following solutions works fine for focus content on New Tab:

    Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
      window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
      window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
    }, "browser-open-newtab-start");
  } catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); }

It works fine, but I can't make it work for the Homage page when it's configured to open a local file.

I tried to bind the "window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();" action on the "browser-open-homepage-start" event but it has not effect.

Thanks.

How do I stop the following message from popping up?:

Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading

So i make page smaller at 60% size, and when i scroll it move on the same amount of space as its on 100% size, basically decrease scroll speed. Is there a way to make it not happen and make scroll speed the same at any page size.

On my mac I have the f14 key mapped to start a screen saver, but whenever I'm using firefox it appears to take control of the f14 key and prevents the use of my screen saver shortcut. Whenever I select another program that isn't firefox, my shortcut immediately works again, so I know firefox is the problem. Is there anyway to prevent firefox from using the f14 key?

I blamed on Facebook last release when it started to interrupt comments and edits, either attempting to reload the page, or simply hitting "back" one or 2 pages, even when I am thinking and do not touch the keyboard. Then I discovered the same feature while edited a post in X. Different sites, the same behavior. So, I removed all Firefox related controls from the touch bar, and the problem disappeared. I am not sure, was it the result of upgrade to MacOS 14.3, or upgrade of Firefox to 122, or is something wrong with Macbook Pro hardware?

I found any archived topic on not being able to customize the PDF Toolbar at all, from April 2023. But, over the weekend, my PRINT button has now moved from the first position to the last position. In fact, all 4 of the buttons have reversed themselves. It is now "Text, Draw, Image, & Print", instead of the normal Print first, etc. If we can not customize these buttons, how did they reverse themselves without my authorization? This really is inconvenient and bothers my OCD greatly.

Hello all, there's quite a few threads on spacing in the message composition window but I have not seen a thread on this specific issue. Even though I have changed the style to "body text" instead of "paragraph" when I type text and then in a subsequent line start a numbered list or a bulleted list using the format buttons, thunderbird automatically includes an extra space. I don't want this. Is there a way to eliminate this extra line?

I've attached an image to show what I mean.

thanks

I'm looking for a screen recorder. The addon search list has several.

Awesome screenshot has a lot of users, but some aren't thrilled that you have to create an account.

it doesn't have to be particularly fancy. For instance, I have a couple Firefox and Windows issues I'd like t document.

bold textA important web site (eBay) is in my blocked list I did not add it to the listing,so I remove it from the blocked sight list and it comes right back as blocked.Is it something in my Firefox settings or possibly malware?Should I uninstall Firefox and reinstall? Need some advice please.

Refresh Screen nags are beginning to take over my web-surfing experience. On InstaCart I get hundreds of Screen Refresh nags -- one right after the other. Blowing Screen Refresh nags out of the water won't hurt my feelings... InstaCart will generate thousands of Refresh Screen nags -- until I nuke it.

I am trying to install Adobe Flash player in Firefox 84.0 (the last version support Flash player) when running in a docker container (Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS). I had tried to run Firefox in my real machine (Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 Debian 12) and it worked well. I just copy the file "libflashplayer.so" to the path "~/.mozilla/plugins". But when Firefox is running in a container, I do the same but it can't found Flash player plugin. No matter where I place the libflashplayer.so, like "~/.mozilla/plugins" or "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox", it don't work, I can't find Flash player in "about:plugins" or "about:addons". I start Firefox from a terminal and there is no error log. I have no idea why it can detect flash player plugin while running in a real system but don't work when running in a container. Thanks.

I would like to ban the Quora website altogether but especially from answering searches I make. What I have found so far does not work. Any suggestions? If I can do that I might even do that to another website that I see no value in. Thank you.

I use Firefox on Raspberry pi os. I have a lot of help files saved in mht format. How can I open these files in Firefox? Chrome supports such files without additional configuration, but I would not like to use this browser on Raspbian, since it consumes much more resources than Firefox. It is undesirable to use a different format.

As I am a corporate website administrator and I use an ultra-wide monitor with a resolution of 3840x1600 pixels, I need to be able to run firefox with window size of full HD to verify the compatibility of the site for common displays.

How can I ensure that the Firefox window always starts at this size?

In the case of Chrome, you just add the parameter -window-size=1920,1080

Unfortunately, this solution does not work here (so it worked in older versions).

I found some plugins that promised this, but none worked correctly.

I find the option to set a default size to be very basic and essential and prevents me from switching from Chrome to Firefox.
