Windows 10 crashed and I had to re-set. Afterwards I had to re-install Firefox browser. Now, when I click on the Firefox icon, Bing opens instead. I dislike Bing and have tried everything I can think of in Settings to get it to open to the Firefox page. No luck. Any EZ suggestions. I'm not terribly technical, so please provide easy step-by-step instructions. Thanks. BTW, tried changing through HOME icon, that didn't work either.

I change the default action for e.g. mime type PDF to a bash script. - works I get the filename of the downloaded pdf file in my bash script - works I can do things with this downloaded file - works

But can I get the download URL of this file in my script? It's not a dedicated URL in a tab - so I can not read the URL of the active tab.

It's a direct download link from, let' say, google search.

What do I have to do to get the URL of the downloaded file in a bash script?

Thank you in advanced!

Is there a facility in Firefox for shortcut auto-completion of commonly-entered text, like my email address?

In Mac OS itself, we use the 'text' tab in keyboard system preferences, but those shortcuts don't work in Firefox.

Thanks.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 88.0 (If I use higher version of firefox it used to crash continuously so I avoid higher versions.) When I used to give printout of multiple pages per sheet from LibreOffice with page numbers like 1,1,2,2 I get the desired result means copy of the page is printed on the same sheet. My problem is when I try to print from FireFox with multiple pages per sheet and page no. like 1,1 it only print the page no. 1 only once on the sheet and the remaining half sheet of the pdf remain blank.

110.0.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10.

I frequently use the Saved Credit Card feature for my own purchases.

However, I also have a side business where I process customer cards using Stripe. Every time I want to enter/modify a customer's card info, Firefox wants to autofill MY saved card information. While I can work around this, 1) It's annoying; 2) One day I might slip-up, and not notice I accidentally let Firefox autofill my card info in place of a customer's card info. That would be bad.

Is there a way to disable the Saved Credit Card on individual web sites? In my case, I want it OFF on Stripe.com, and ON everywhere else.

Thanks for any info.

Is there a way or an add-on that can reload all broken images with one click?

It's too tiring to use the "Reload Image" context menu on each broken image, and sometimes some images are covered by some other controls that make the context menu even not work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The "Take a Screenshot" function is excellent.

When I take a screenshot and click "Copy" to copy it to the clipboard, a pop-up above the taskbar is shown: "Shot Copied Your shot has been copied to the clipboard. Press CTRL-V to paste."

It is displayed for approx. 10 seconds unless the X in the top-right corner of the pop-up is clicked. Is there a way to perform this function but suppress the pop-up (e.g. in about:config)?

Thank you.

I am studying web development and need to be able to enter localhost and a port number into the address bar and have the browser use it. Instead I get search results. This is SOOOOO annoying. I tried putting the search bar separate in the options, but that just gets you 2 search bars, which makes zero sense. Is there a way to change this behavior? I am completely frustrated. I don't want to have to go back to Chrome, the horrible resource hog, to complete my classes because I can't even run an emulator if I'm using it.

Firefox, Windows 10 64-bit.
