Guten Tag, Ich nutze 4-5 Fenster, je nach Anwendungsumfeld, dauerhaft. Die Fenster beeinhalten meistens die jeweiligen Log-Ins in den einzelnen Tabs. Aus irgendwelchen Gründen sind alle meine eingerichteten Fenster verschwunden. ich habe versucht, über die Wiederherstellung der letzten 7 Tage meinen bekannten Stand wiederherzustellen. Da wurden mir ca. 750 Tabs angeboten. Der Versuch meine Fenster/Tabs zu finden war schier unmöglich. Also habe ich versucht alle! wiederherzustellen um manuell den Stand meiner Fenster zu rekonstruieren. Hat nicht bzw nur teilweise funktioniert. Können sie mir helfen meine Fenster mit den entsprechenden Tabs von vor 3-4 Tagen wiederherzustellen?

Vielen Dank

I recently got a large (30") 4k monitor because I have been having trouble reading text. But Firefox has become practically unusable.

Some sites display with giant text, and I have to press ctrl-minus several times to fit them on the screen.

Meanwhile, the text in the Bookmarks bar, tabs, and URL window are unreadably small.

I tried about:config and layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, which currently seems to have a NEGATIVE value of -1.5. Per directions, I changed it to 1.5. NOTHING. NO CHANGE.

Then I found an endless series of possible fixes, all involving similarly opaque and obscure and user-unfriendly steps.

I might have to abandon Firefox, after all these years, over this. Anybody got a simple fix?

(I now see that I'm actually having the same problem in Windows Explorer, so maybe that's where I need to go to fix this.)

Thanks!

Whenever a Firefox extension connects to a particular native application for the first time, a dialog opens that looks like the attached.

I've pressed "cancel" on this prompt.

Where are the "privacy settings" I can use to revert this ? Nothing in the "Privacy & Security" section looks like it, and there's nothing in the "about:extensions" sections either.

Newly installed FF browser. Tried transferring bookmarks from Chrome to FF using "import bookmarks" menu. Appended .csv file without error but still bookmarks cannot be seen. Tried method two. Using Chrome bookmark manager, downloaded .html file. Used FF again to append without error but the same no bookmarks seen.

Is it really impossible to automatically transfer bookmarks from Chrome to FF?

Hi All:

I just got a new laptop and so I am getting everything set up the way that I like it. I have come across a problem with my sidebar though. I like to keep my bookmarks up all the time, but I want them to not be too wide and take up a lot of my screen. On this new computer, there's an addition 5 cms or so of white space at the far left of the tool bar. It had different buttons on it up at the top (one of them had something to do with AI) and a little gear down at the bottom of the space. I was able to remove all of the buttons up at the top, but I can't seem to hide the whole thing. I just want to see my bookmarks, without that extra customization sidebar. Is there a way to hide the spot highlighted in pink, but still have the bookmarks visible?

The first time i'm installing Firefox it quickly made me fall in love with this browser and wanted to fully migrate from Chrome to Firefox, it's more lightweight, has more customization, fully private & secure. But there is only one thing that made me just almost migrate to Firefox, or just 99% complete transitioning to Firefox, and that is me unable downloading. Yes, thats it and it's pretty annoying. I just able downloading pictures, but not when i'm downloading an apps or software like Discord for example. PLEASE HELP ME, MY LAPTOP (X240) IS VERY OLD AND I NEED EVERY PERFORMANCE ON MY LAPTOP FOR WORKSTATION PLUS WITH THIS RAM PRICES (ykwim). Tomorrow i'm planning to switch to Linux (Mint MATE) and i have to do dual-boot just incase there is some software i'm unable to use at Linux. So please, help me. Give each step with no technical explanation, and use beginner languange so i'm easier to understand.
