Please for the love of God, get rid of the asinine Show All when opening about:config. It was a stupid unnecessary change (IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT) and your users have been bitching about it since it was implemented.

I find myself frequently, and accidentally, opening links in new windows. I can literally think of no circumstance where I would ever want to open a link in a new window. After I do so, accidentally, I have to waste time closing that window and then opening the link in a new tab. Is it possible to, and if so how can I, remove the "Open in a new window" option from the right-click menu? TIA.

Recently, when I click on the email envelope shortcut on my FF desktop, it keeps launching the MS "New Outlook" installer instead of opening my desktop Outlook like it always did. Like so many others, I refuse to use MS Cloud for my email so they can sell my information. Thanks

I have no idea how this has happened, but Firefox will no longer allow me to search for anything. When did it become my default browser? I need to change it and cannot figure out how. I'm getting very annoyed at getting the notice that sites are not available.

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. You can use either eveybp@yahoo.com or eveybp@outlook.com.

I downloaded Firefox onto my new Windows 11 computer, but the "Firefox View" tab is not there, and there is no option in the "Customize Toolbar" to drag it onto the menu. How do I get the "Firefox View" tab to show on my browser to the left of where the different open webpage tabs are located?

Hi. There is a new feature of Firefox that bothers me. It is when I drag tabs around the top, they try to group when I don't want them to. So I go to about:config and find the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" key and set it to false. But when I restart Firefox, the change reverts. How do I fix this so the change stays?

I've already tried going to Menu->Help->More troubleshooting information->Profile Folder->Open folder, but there is no "user.js" file there. Do I have to do a Firefox reset to fix this? I hope not...

Note that I'm pretty sure that other settings that I change do not revert when I restart Firefox. Right now, it seems to be just this one about:config setting, unless the new version of Firefox reverts all manually changed about:config settings upon restart.

Thanx in advance for any help.

i have a program listed in Settings\General\Applications called viewpoint. i cant remove it, i need to be able to open it in a different browser but everytime i click on the app in Start\All Programs, it opens in firefox. i have change default browser to chrome, but the link still opens in firefox.

Please provide the exact requirements for defaults in order to have the settings (occurring on the bookmarks settings) to state that Firefox is your default browser. Having had to attempt this process multiple times causes me to question if it is the user that needs some "tender loving care".

I have tried to make Firefox my default browser on my Dell laptop dozens of times and it keeps switching back to other browsers. How can I set if so it does not keep changing my default browser from of being Firefox? I have set is as Firefox default and it keeps changing it from Firefox. Many thanks, Alan

Yesterday evening I accidentally clicked on a setting that asked me to stop or deny something and I don't remember what it was. Today my bookmarks and history prior to yesterday evening is gone. Is there a way in the system to go back to yesterday evening and undo whatever I clicked and restore the missing history and bookmarks? I work on MacOS and am using the current version of Firefox 137.0.2 (64-bit)

I have bookmarks for the application Obsidian, which uses the obsidian:// protocol, registered in Windows. I type the bookmark keyword, it opens the protocol, and asks to confirm whether I not want to open it.

While I wish I could get rid of the entire dialog, I understand that's a security risk, and I understand that the manual delay is ALSO a security detail (to prevent errant or intentional mis-clicks by malicious websites), I want to disable it.

I'm aware there's a lot of hidden configuration options, but I can't even find the name of what this dialog is called. Every search I have for it yields unrelated results. "Open with" is the only idea I have now, so maybe I should start searching for what the integration or protocol is called within Windows. Maybe that'll put me on the right track.

So, can I disable OR 'configure the confirmation dialog, either altogether OR the delay?
