I just added Search on Google Lens to my Firefox "Add-ons Extensions" because I need to identify a simple image, but I can't figure out how to make it work. I put my mouse pointer on te image and right click, but I do not get a context menu with a Google Lens choice. What do I need to do to make Google Lens work on my computer?

I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT WHEN USING Firefox Browser. It is the only browser I use and I have been using Firefox for 10+ years. I've spent thousands of hours using it but due to my GREAT IGNORANCE of the best way to use and maximize my efficiency, my precious time is being wasted. I FEEL LOST MUCH OF THE TIME. IS IT POSSIBLE ORGANIZED MY USE OF FIREFOX IN A WAY THAT WILL MAKE IT A PLEASURE TO USE? For example my Windows fire Explorer if very organized and based on a logical system that I created. With Firefox I've created hundreds Bookmarks and I've started organized them but it doesn't automatically sort a folders or bookmarks when I put them in and that is a huge inconvenience because I sometimes forget to do that and then I can't find what I need.

I've built computers and installed hardware and complicated software; I've done a little bit of Excel programing as well. I am a well educated person with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, and I also have several post graduate certifications but I feel like Firefox is cumbersome to use. Now that "feeling" has to do with my ignorance most likely SO is there anyone out there who can point this frustrated researcher in the direction that will make me a virtuoso with Firefox? With all the very smart people who invented and maintain Firefox, someone must have created a Firefox course to turn a Firefox user who can get a hundred times more done in a fraction of the time it is currently taking me.

Here's a good example of the kind of things I need: 1. First, let me convey just a brief context of my endeavors, and then I'll submit a some ways in which my Firefox browser could much more helpful. I do a lot of teaching in several technical areas of science (physics, mathematics, chemistry, financial management an investments, predictive models for targeting future needs vs resources for individual and group advancements, and with unique considerations for cultures/philosophical diversities, the role of pattern recognition in cognitive architecture and in subjective/objective conscious states of alertness paradigms; medical science, philosophy, learning theory and methods, I also teach music theory and composition related to the guitar, violin, and piano. One of the reasons that I like Firefox is it's Privacy protection, but I'm confident that if I were more "edumacated" about the complex subject of privacy I would like "accessorize" my interaction with a world that has plenty of "bad actors out there". Consider this fact: I am a skilled surgeon whose quick hands and mind have been involved involved in multiple acute life threatening injuries. This means that I use a kind of magical thinking that I learned long ago, and that thinking is the difference between life and death for the man whose left renal artery was ruptured in a plane crash. He is losing blood internally and must be treated immediately, He will arrive at trauma center in 10-15 minutes vial helicopter. I am already scrubbed in and ready for his arrival as is my very experienced surgical assistant who has prepared all the surgical instruments organized in the sterile surgical room. Firefox must be like my surgical assistant. Every tool I need for research, for probative accumulation of essential information must be readily, available, so I can focus of the important task of stopping the blood loss quickly. That surgery was done and that 26 year old male survived after I repaired the ruptured left renal artery using endovascular repair via a surgical Goretex stint graft similar to what I have used in repair of aortic aneurysms. Simple when one has the tools at ones fingertips due to well trained support staff. When I am about to write a highly important article or chapter that I will contribute to a book that has several other contributing authors, There are certain tools I need and that depends on whether I'm writing in English, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. I will need the following tabs: # 1. [Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary|https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/intend]

1. 2. Forvo, world's largest pronunciation dictionary # 3. Thesaurus.com So, the foregoing is an example three tabs I would like to be opened when I am going to start an article. When I am teaching and writing music there is select number of 5-7 tabs, depending on which instrument I am working with, that I would like to open with one or two clicks. Similarly, when I do financial or medical research. For example I could in my Bookmarks create project related folders with the specific tabs I would like to have open, the question would be is there a way I can open 5-10 links in a folder, with a minimal of clicking? I'm sure there are other smarter ways to work but I don't know Firefox well enough to know how to shape it around my specialty needs. If anyone read this "Call for assistance" and feels interested in helping me become skilled wit fitting Firefox to my way of working, let me know. My email is mwmaddox@mail.com. Thanks!

I stick with Firefox because it is apparently one of the safest browsers. I have installed a few Add-ons and Themes, like "Tree Style Tab" and "Go To Playing Tab" both of which I like. I'm still trying to figure out how to have Google Lens work on my Firefox. I read all the instructions but nothing seems to work. Is it me or is it a problem with Firefox browser, or what?

Hi, BIG fan, but.. Is there any way to "convince" the beauuutiful dev`s to give us a radio check box in the settings that says "I know what I`m doing so I will update when I see the need" (and in fact turn off the veeeery annoying "UPDATE!!, UPDATE!!"... window, that is driving me inane. Comes up like something was on fire :( then it is just some minor thing for those that love streaming... that means... not me. I don not want to, but I probably have to (after umpften years with the fox) start looking for a browser that does not drive me nuts. Give people the option to update if and when they want to, without a over needy window in the top right eeevery 10 seconds, give it a rest, please?

I just activated the new tab grouping feature (that has been something I've really wanted from FF so that I can start getting away from Chrome) and I've tried it out and have been happy with it so far. I understand this is in beta still I think and I had some questions:

1. I notice that I'm not able to save and close a tab group, is this expected functionality until tab grouping goes GA?
2. I notice if I have my tab group minimized and have a tab open (that is NOT a part of the group) and I close that tab that the whole browser window will close. Is that also expected?

Really excited for this functionality to continue taking off; I do love a way to organize my many tabs!!

Cheers,

How can I disable the huge Firefox logo appearing on the top of the default home tab? It is enormous and takes up valuable space. Instead of having four neat rows of shortcuts which all show on a new page (like it used to be) that page looks terrible now. I have tried everything formerly recommended to others asking the same question (about:config, proton, etc.) and nothing works. My current version is 136.0.4 (64-bit). A workable solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'd like to try enabling Tab Groups in Firefox 135.0 (64-bit). But I don't want to risk scrambling my gazillion or so tabs if Tab Groups is not stable.

I'd appreciate some feedback from Firefox users who have enabled Tab Groups.

I'm running Windows 10 version 22H2

Hi

Can you integrate MS Authenticator as Password manager for Firefox? I like storing some passwords directly in Firefox, but Authenticator is easy to carry on his phone and on othher apps.

Thanks for the help

I appreciate the "Translate Selection To" in the right click context menu is in Beta. For me it works but not as well as it might. For example, I am English, my laptop is set to English, I am viewing a website in English but it has some foreign text on it, so I hightlight the text, right click and I am offered to "Translate Selection To ... Slovenian" Why???

I then have to tell it the language of the source/highlighted text and I have to tell it I want the result in English. I can accept it might not recognise the language of the source text but it is very annoying that it assumes I want it converted to Slovenian instead of the systems default language.

To make it worse, having changed the languages to those I want, it doesn't remember them and the next time I use it I'm back to square one.

This would be a really useful feature if only it was logical.

I'm using Firefox 135.0 on a MacBook Pro with a large external monitor.

The menu bar at the top of the screen (NOT the Firefox window) has "Firefox, File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Windows, Help".

When I click on "History", it shows me the most recent 15 pages I visited. Always 15. I'd like to increase that number, as 15 is inconveniently few and uses less than half my screen height. However, I can't find a preference for it either under "Settings" or in "about:config".

I know that there are at least two ways to get to a more extensive history list, but they need more clicks.

So is there a way to change 15 into a larger number?

Thanks. Brendan.

Mac user here with an feature request: please provide a toolbar button for the `Share >` menu. I know it's behind the tab contextual menu (aka right-click menu) but still, it belongs on the toolbar.

When will this madness end?!

It used to be great.

ctrl shift n gets you back the last window

ctrl shift t gets you back the last tab.

Now, ctrl shift t gets you back the last window?!?!?!?!

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE TABS? I have to open history to see where i have been.

BRING IT BACK

I read somewhere that the change was to make firefox more like chrome. So let's cut off our nose to spite our face. This was major feature that DISTINGUISHED Firefox from chrome, and worth migrating to Firefox for!

Please please wake up and smell the coffee. Large corporations spend huge sums to achieve positive differentiation, and you threw it away.

is there is a way to make the side bar movement smoother like when you use the vertical tabs the movement of its bar is smooth so is there is a way to do the same thing to the side bar also i think it will be better if the side bar was in the top of the site cuz most of the time you will not use it you are just gonna open it to access the history or the bookmarks and close it again so there is no need to mess the page layout to match the new window size every time i open it if i need to press or see something behind it i will just close it .

Dear Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest a small but useful enhancement to the Firefox interface that I believe would improve user experience and accessibility.

Currently, in the "Customize Sidebar" section, the available tools are limited to a few items such as AI Chat, Tabs from Other Devices, History, and Bookmarks. I believe it would be very helpful to include "Downloads" as an additional sidebar tool.

This would allow users to quickly access their recent downloads without needing to go through the menu or use shortcuts. It adds convenience and aligns well with the purpose of the sidebar — offering quick access to frequently used features.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Firefox. I look forward to seeing future updates! Warm regards, Julabeeb a firefox user, developer, and contributor

Is there a way to remove the thumbtacks and rounded edges off the shortcuts in the newest version?

I love Firefox otherwise, but the thumbtacks look terrible and are distracting. I use the shortcuts dozens of times daily to open my most frequent sites.

Please remove the thumbtacks and overly rounded edges in the new version.

Is there a way to hide the thumbtacks?

It is the 'Search Bar' function on your Browser! It's an absolute nuisance to use. When you begin typing a question into the search bar it immediately (as you all know) diverts to the Address bar in the Browser. Your eyes have to divert your focus and attention every single time you use the Search Bar making the process fatiguing, exacerbated by having to put up with the smaller font used in the address bar. Google, EDGE and Opera, Doesn't use this method only Firefox. It's a real pain and the is the sole reason I will never make 'Fox' my default Browser.

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

When using the PiP feature is there a way to switch whether it pauses the video when closing the PiP player?

Often if i want the audio to continue but dont want the popout player there and if I press the close button it will just stop the audio. If I select the PiP window and use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + ] the audio will continue playing as I want it however this is inconvenient and requires using the keyboard, is there any way to change it so that closing the popout player doesn't stop the tab from playing audio?

Hello, would like tabs titles to be styled like in attachment (screen is from Simple Tab Groups addon). Especially would like to decrease (vertical) gaps between titles. Is it possible by editing userChrome.css or something like this?
