Everything squeezed to the left or center of firefox window. Search results are squeezed to the left third of the window leaving the rest of the window blank. Other sites are squeezed to the middle third of the window with blank areas to the left and right. This happened after I added an AI to the sidebar and then removed it.

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

About:config specific setting via a button toggle/extension?

I'm wondering if there's any way to have a button toggle for a setting exposed via about:config?

The reason for my ask is that I currently use a second Firefox profile, where full-screen-api.ignore-widgets is set to True, in order to have full-screen videos inside a firefox window, meaning I can fully expand a video into the window that its open in, without taking up the entire screen. Extremely good for productivity reasons.

Now, the only slight issue that I have is that sometimes I wanna easily swap back without needing to move the video tab to my main profile - and hoping that it's possible somehow without exposing myself to lax security practices - I found it might be possible when using fx-autoconfig - but it does concern me when it states "Please note that malicious external programs can now inject custom logic to Firefox even without elevated privileges just by modifying boot.sys.mjs or adding their own script files.".

I essentially just want an true/false button for the full-screen-api.ignore-widgets setting instead of needing to swap profiles/manually enter about:config to swap the boolean value back and forth.

Can't pin an extension to the toolbar

I have Bitdefender SecurePass Installed, enabled and populated but I can't put an icon for it on my toolbar or, apparently, actually activate it in any other way. Bitdefender suggests there is a bug in Firefox causing this. They suggested that setting Firefox to save history should fix it but it didn't. They also suggested that working in incognito mode might be the problem. I have tried turning off incognito mode and this still has not solved my problem.

When I originally set up SecurePass, it worked fine - the logo icon appeared on the toolbar and it activated when required. I then had a problem with getting multiple popups that purported to be warnings from Firefox about viruses and trojans. I eventually had to completely uninstall and then reinstall Firefox in order to get rid of the popups and now I have this problem with being unable to actually use Bitdefender SecurePass.

I am a long time Chrome user but decided to give Firefox a try for various reasons. 1 like Firefox's ability to highlight and add text comments to articles and documents. One feature lacking, or maybe it exists but I have not discovered it, would be the ability to copy and save all highlights / commnents in an article / document to subsequently use them as a summary, abstract, or digest of main points To preclude having to re read the entire document again And that's wanting to do so. There is a Chrome extension called Highlighter that Does just that , supports the copy all highlights.

I use Lastpass in combination with a Yubico key to manage my secure login to all of my accounts. I use both a laptop and a desktop computer and Windows 11 and Linuxmint operating systems.

I like to have a simple list of what I have in Lastpass and every time I login into my Lastpass vault I would like to have its simple list of contents in the categories that I have organised, rather than its other formats (e.g. ikon view).

I want Firefox to only keep track of how I want Lastpass to look every time I open it, but I want to be able to clear all of my other use of Firefox when I exit the browser.

Can I use the Firefox settings for this purpose and, if so, how do I do that, while maintaining maximum security?

I have set up multi-account containers, but when I try to open a Google Workspace email account in a container, I get an error message:

"Google 400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know."

I have used this successfully before, but have just got a new Macbook and now it's not working. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I use Firefox for most of my research and frequently save articles, documentation, and webpages for work. Is there a simple way to turn this content into presentation slides without copying everything manually? I recently came across MagicSlides AI PPT Maker, which seems to generate presentations from existing content, and I'm wondering if anyone here has tried it or knows similar tools that work well with Firefox.
