Firefox Support Forum

Every time I open my home page, which is google, the address bar automatically fills in the following string https://www.google.com/ . Then, as the cursor is already there, if I start typing, it just types before that string and does not take me where I want to go.

On my son's firefox homepage, the address bar is always blank and that is what I need this to be.

How do I make sure my address bar is completely blank when I open a new tab or go to my homepage?

Firefox up-grades always reset my preferences settings presumably to a Firefox default condition. I then have to reset them back to where I want them. Can I stop this happening?

I have recently added the extension Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express. It does not appear on the toolbar. I've looked and tried what was onthe support pages and nothing helps.

Is this an extension that should appear on the toolbar. I am not using private browsing. If it can be on the toolbar, how do I get the thing on it you use? Just a bit frustrated.

Thanks, Irv

Hello,

Is there a way to get specific popups to automatically move to a specific display/screen either based on a URL fragment (RegEx?) or a popup Title?

Thank You

Hello,

I'm running Firefox on three different computers with the same set of extensions in use. On my MSI laptop, incoming email will cause X-notifier to spawn a tab and automatically switch to that tab. This is problematic because I'm watching instructional videos when the browser will automatically switch to the new tab and I have to keep clicking back on what I'm watching.

The only thing I've been able to do at this point is disable the X-notifier extension so this doesn't happen, and re-enable it when I'm done. This doe not happen on my desktop machine or work laptop.

Can you point me to what is causing this behavior? All machines are running Windows 10.

hello firefox heroes,

I am looking for a way to prevent disabling an addon.

The addon is secondary, but for the sake of completeness: it's about the web blocker LeechBlock.

It was intended as an alternative to the web blocker ColdTurkey, but unlike ColdTurkey, which does not work for Linux systems, there is no password protection to prevent disabling and/or uninstalling the addon. Thus, it is quite easy to get distracted even though you don't really want to.

does anyone know a solution?

I'm not sure how to interpret the message on the extensions here but needles to say Xdebug helper is not setting the proper headers.

What is this message and how to solve it?

I have a vision problem and can only read if dark mode is on. I have dark mode on for firefox but when I go to a website from settings, the back ground is white and blinds me. help

No third party extension from the Mozilla Add-On Store allows you to add your own sticky notes directly onto the Default Firefox Home Page. It seems to be because of security reasons. Could a sticky notes customization tool be built-in natively to Firefox itself to enable sticky notes to be created and pinned on the Default Firefox Home Page?

Hey, hope you're well

I'd prefer opening new tabs to happen in the background, so I can stay on the original page.

So far, Firefox seems to open new links and will switch to them immediately, automatically.

I checked in settings, and found the setting in the attached image.

I found that whether this setting was checked or unchecked, the behavior remained the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I wish Firefox's "List all tabs" feature worked more like Chrome's "Search tabs" feature. While they're similar, Chrome's implementation immediately offers a search field with the cursor already in it. To search for an open tab all I have to do is click the arrow and start typing. In Firefox I have to click the arrow and then click again on "Search tabs".

It may sound like a minor detail but I would argue that all the detail are important.

Also, I know that I can type a "%" in the address bar to begin a tab search but sometimes my hand is already on the mouse.

I had my Mozilla homepage set to where a new page would open when I clicked on one of my shortcuts. Now its just opening the page right on my homepage instead of a new tab. I can't figure out how to fix this on my laptop. ALSO- my "Recent Activity" is displaying on my homepage and I don't want that. How do I stop that?

I recently added the Firefox browser, and have it fully up-to-date, and tried adding a few extensions/add-ons. But nowhere are the icons for those extensions/add-ons showing up anywhere in the browser. Not even in the customize toolbars region. I can see that I've added those extensions/add-ons, but their associated icons are nowhere to be found.

How do I go about fixing/correcting this issue?

When I'm using Jira in Edge and I copy the URL from the browser bar, pasting from the clipboard formats the URL as a hyperlink with the title of the Jira issue. This is super convenient, and I'm hoping that the same functionality exists in Firefox and that I just haven't found it yet.

Does such a thing exist?

I want to install AdBlock Plus add on, verify it is in fact installed. Also [[;ace icon in taskbar. Also set it for NO ADS at all. Please, how do I do all that?

Yhank You kindly

Hello everyone, yesterday I was half asleep and I pressed whatever key combination and now my Google looks like this (see the attachment)

Does anyone know how to have the 'all images news etc' looking horizontal/normal again? I cannot figure it out in any way

I made a theme on Firefox Colour and the image that I put under the 'custom backgrounds' tab isn't appearing as the background. Instead it uses the Background Colour from the Custom Colours menu. How would I fix it, so that the image is displayed behind the tabs? (My settings are in the images below.)
