Firefox Support Forum

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.

Hi,

is there a shortcut for the new text editing feature ?

I found this but there's no one for "Text": https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer#w_pdf-viewer-keyboard-shortcuts

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.

How can I check FF buildID without installing it? I have update server and I use *.mar files downloaded from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/ to update my offline environment. But every new verison - I need to install at least one full package to extract buildID from it, to put it into update.xml file. It's really annoying. Is there easier way?

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.

I have the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension installed.

When I click on links in other applications, for example email, is there a way to choose which container it opens on? Right now, it opens without a container.

I have switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.1 and am having trouble creating website shortcuts now. With Windows I used the following method

• [Support - Create a desktop shortcut to a website]

From my research it looks this is supposed to work with Ubuntu as well? It is not working for me, is this possible?

For some reason I cant get my touch keyboard to come up when I select a text box. it works fine on chrome and Edge but not Firefox. any idea how to get it working?

for details I am on a windows 10 device

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 have two problems with my browser. 1) On Windows 10 I get the push notifications if the browser not in full-screen mode but if you do full-screen you get no push notifications so that leads me to my other problem, I wanted to put the firefox app in the priority list for Windows 10 notifications but the Firefox symbol will not show up on their list of apps, why not?

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.

Why was the direct access to the pocket list in the firefox removed? Previously I used to access the pocket list from the homepage itself. Now it disappeared. How to access pocket list directly?
