Firefox Community Forum

Every time I open Firefox, as well as my StartPage Home page, an additional "Thank You For Loving Firefox" tab opens, and it does so in preference to my home page. How do I remove this "bonus feature"? In addition, an additional "Firefox View" button appears to the left of my home page tab, which I would also prefer not to be obliged to remove each time. Can I also disable this feature? OS is Linux Mint, desktop computer, with 2 TB SSD, Quad core processor, 16 Gb RAM.

Every time I use Google Meet, Firefox show me a tiny orange controller over al my desktops in Fedora Linux. It is a bit annoying an distracting. Maybe could be great this icons appear in the os panel in linux.

For a week or so now, spam pinned tabs keep appearing in my Firefox browser. They're always for coupon2deal.com. They appear already pinned, at random times while I'm browsing. Firefox is up to date, and I have Webroot antivirus running and have made it do a scan of my computer.

At one time there was a userchrome patch which could be applied to obtain legacy-style square corners on the URL bar and the search bar. I can not get this to work despite trying several different suggestions and I suspect it may be related the the Proton redesign.

Can anyone suggest a userchrome mod to obtain the desired square corners?

For some reason whenever I try and move a tab to a different location, the animation is quite chopping and the tab takes about half a second to move to where I've dragged my mouse. If i click on the tab and very slowly move it there's no lag at all.

Troubleshooting I've attempted: Updated Firefox Refreshed Updated my drivers Launched in troubleshoot mode Removed all add-ons Tried Beta, Nightly and Dev Edition Uninstalled firefox and removed all appdata Ran in compatibility mode and as admin Looked at task monitor (Firefox and Windows) Ran a malware and virus scan Factory reset my pc

This issue is only occurring on my desktop, and not my laptop. It seems like it may be a hardware issue as factory resetting my pc didn't fix it.

After signing up for an account I am getting bombarded by emails from Mozilla. I follow the links for "unsubscribe" and "manage your communication preferences" within each email, as well as going through "Manage Account" from the Firefox browser. All paths lead to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/existing/ Which says: Something is amiss with our system, sorry! Please try again later. This has been the case now for over a week, so I assume it's not the system. I have tried multiple browsers, I always get the same message.

I have a specific way that my windows are set up to browse the web. usually, they get messed up when i update, but i can sort them by opening and closing them in a specific way until they're back in the order i need them to be in. when i installed the latest version of firefox, i tried this trick. however, it appears that the only thing that happened was that the number of available tabs in the window navigation menu decreased. i have 8 widows open right now, but what I see for navigation is three (see attached screenshot).

Firefox crashes after granting permission to use my webcamera. I performed a complete refresh of profile and without installing any extensions or setting up Mozilla Sync I tested using this page https://webcamtests.com/ and everything works as expected.

I think installed my list of extensions that I use and tested again, everything worked.

I then enabled Mozilla Sync and tested again, immediate crash right after granting permissions with a TCC policy violation according to the crashreport.

I then tested in safemode with all extensions disabled and it still crashes. So it works before enabling Mozilla Sync, but not afterwards, so something in my sync is causing this EVEN when in safemode.

I am getting a 404 error for a website I use daily. I think firefox may blocking it and I want it unblocked please. The name of the website is counciloftime.com

Hi Guys, every time i open a white website like google or my schools website it turns light grey like the attached photo. I haven't tried anything as I dont know how to fix it. Thanks

I can't open links that are in my emails. It tells me that the tab has crashed and it is ALL links. It also will not open 2 pages at the same time. Luckly I kept an old version to use this new upgrade is TERRIBLE.

Just when exactly are you going to repair all the damage you did to my computer a few days ago -- years of valuable work, gone!

And who the hell gave you the right to get into my computer -- my personal property -- delete all that work and replace it with ads from people that want to sell me stuff?

That's what the "upgraded" Firefox did to my computer, just days ago, and I want it FIXED!

If there's going to be a class action lawsuit out of this I will join in a heartbeat!

Now I want ANSWERS from you!!!!!

Jack Holloway p.s. how dare you send out a money-begging message to millions of folks who have been ruined by you?

In the pre-Webextension days, there was an add-on that allowed one-step install/run of downloaded executables. It worked like this: When the option was selected, the executable was downloaded into a temporary directory, execute it from there, and finally (optionally) delete it.

Now I only do it manually.

Ironically, MS Edge has this functionality built-in (see attachment).

Is there a way to achieve this on FF?

In About:Config there are several settings for "smoothScroll.msdPhysics", which is disabled by default. Can someone here explain for what situations this set of preferences is intended to be used? I've been unable to find only very sketchy documentation for it, and I have looked a lot.

1. Is its purpose only for touch screens, or does it also have benefits for normal desktops & laptops?

2. Does it function independently of whether or not smooth scrolling is enabled in About:Preferences?

3. There are three About:Config settings for msdPhysics springs (motionBeginSpringConstant, regularSpringConstant, and slowdownSpringConstant). What effects do each of these have as the mouse is moved or the mouse wheel is rolled or clicked? And how do their settings work (e.g. time?, lines?, pixels?)?

As mentioned Firefox, unlike Chrome, does not ask me where I want to download a file on my computer. I have it checked to "Always ask me where to download the file" and yet it still does not. Additionally when downloading PDFs it opens another tab as a preview for the document in question that I have just opened, but I do not want it to it is quite annoying. Thank you for your help.

About 50% of the time an article on the Substack site will not load fully. Either the text loads and images do not, or the page loads not at all. I do not have this issue using Edge. I am using Firefox 109.0 on Windows 10. Thank you.
