I know it takes just two mouse clicks to open the About dialog, but I'd like to bookmark it so when I check my daily bookmarks by right-clicking a folder and clicking "Open All Bookmarks", it would be displayed. This would be a convenient, albeit forceful, way to keep Firefox up-to-date. The About dialog isn't modal, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Hi, Just received your "Webpages, simplified" notice and it triggered two improvements you can easily make so Firefox is more accessible to users with disabilities.

  • Make buttons more descriptive "Learn More About Reader View" makes all the difference to someone using a screen reader. Imagine skimming a page where all the links just say "Learn More." This is pervasive across Firefox and easy to fix! (See screenshot of your page, attached.)
  • Add link to accessibility features or Mozilla's accessibility statement at the bottom of every page. I should not have to do a search to find out about accessibility. See example screenshot from Univ. of California, attached.

My bookmarks/settings bar on my PC now only displays the address bar. The search bar, which I regularly used, has vanished and I can't find a way to restore it. A reset to default does not help. Thank you in advance for any help.

I have a website that I go to frequently that does not require a username, only a password. However, on Firefox it insists on a username, and won't let me enter the site without one. The website owner simply does not require a username. I just tried to check into another site and it insisted my password was wrong. I had just changed it and knew it to be correct in format. This relay system is screwing up my browsing and I want it off my machine. Help me!

I am unable to load the video pages on prime video in firefox. Instead of loading the video's page, it gives me a black screen and says "That shouldnt' have happened. It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead." It works fine in Chrome, and other streaming sites like Netflix also work. I tried upgrading firefox, and upgraded to 129.0 (64 bit), but the same error is still happening. I contacted Amazon support, they couldn't figure it out, and told me to talk to Firefox support.

I disabled ublock origin, and disabled trackign protection, and error still occurs.

There has to be a way, but I can't find it. How do we enlarge the font size for tabs, toolbar, favorites, search bar etc. I like that we can customize the colors but the font size seems to have been left out. I know we can ctrl + to enlarge what's in the browser window but this has no effect on the actual browser fonts. They are wayyyy to tiny. Is there a fix for this?

I play the game at https://word-salad.archive.org/, but most of the time it's considered insecure. This is the error I get: Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT. Yet, it will come on if I enter the url later in the day. Do you know why it's a hit and miss url? I would think that if they fixed it once, it would be okay.

nevermind. fixed itself. maybe it just took it a lot longer than expected


I have two firefox accounts. Got a new computer and trying to sync to the new one. I have tried to sync both of them. But only 34 of 300 passwords transferred and only 20ish bookmarks of 100s transferred.

I have tried looking into both accounts on both computers at the same time, run sync, but nothing more will transfer
