Firefox Community Forum

I have a password stored for an account in FF, and I typed it wrong and accidentally clicked Update on the prompt to update the password. Is there a way to view the old password? I assume I'm stuck but figured it was worth a shot.

I've seen a few people want to use their existing text replacement w/ Firefox and have been advised the add-on 'text fast'. With this add-on you can import a JSON file. Have tried to export my text replacement as a JSON file but can't see a way; if anyone knows how....

I've been trying to get a video to play for over a day now, drm-controlled content is checked but firefox won't install the widevine plugin, it just keeps saying that it will install shortly. I even deleted the cache in hopes to fix the problem, but it did nothing. What can I do to fix this? Also, and I don't know if this is a related problem, some websites just don't show up. It will say they are loaded but all I get is a blank screen (dailymotion and instagram so far).

Hi Firefox community,

Do we have any settings in firefox where we can enable/disable dark mode in firefox browser instead of installing a plugin or addon? I am looking something that is offered within the browser instead of a plugin.

Thank you all.

Hello guys, I'm trying to read information from a pdf, it works fine. But when I send the same code to the add-on, it returns Error: Permission denied to access property "autoAllocateChunkSize". This leads me to believe it's some specific permission in manifest.json.

I would like help on what permission should I include for it to work.

I am looking for a way to make the Firefox tab close button "x" bolder without affecting the background style. I tried using filter but I do not want any shadows or anything like that just to make the item itself not bigger but bolder - any ideas? Thank you all look4

I have used FIREFOX as my browser since 2002 [my first Windows was DOS 1,0 and IBM before that. ]. I have used GOOGLE since it was invented. But Yesterday, I get BING on all NEW windows. If I open a new TAB, I get Google. I have even have removed ALL search engines using "about:preferences#search", but only BING on new Windows. Anyone?

ever since the latest update to my firefox browser, every time i go to download a theme or addon it says "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." every single addon even featured ones do this, so does themes. is there a way i can fix this?

AdBlock Plus extension does not work after updating Firefox (to version 102.3.Oesr) on desktop MacPro. Deleting the preference file (pref.js) has made no difference.

This problem has not occurred after updating Firefox on my laptop Mac Book Pro.

Both computer use OS High Sierra (10.13.6).

Please advise. Thank you.

You can see the context menu in the photo, I would want to hide the pin tabs button so I could stop clicking it on accident. Pinned aren't a feature I use nor find useful anyway.

Hi when I click the middle mouse button I get the scroll lock like normal but id like to know if I could make it similar to google chrome where you have to hold down the middle mouse button and also is there a way I can make the scroll lock icon follow the mouse cursor?

I know there were quite a few people that did not like the 98.0 update to the Downloads Panel... but I was definitely not one of them, haha. I loved it, and so did several friends of mine! Unfortunately, I, along with my 4 Windows devices, no longer have that feature. :( When something is downloaded, I am now prompted with the Windows prompt to "Open with Firefox , Open , or Save" instead of it popping up in the Download Panel with the "Open , Save" options. When I choose save and the location, the file is downloaded and a green checkmark shows on the download icon, but it doesn't open.

Strangely, it DOES open if I have that file type set to "Open with Firefox" automatically... but no other option does it work for, when it 150% did before. I have the "Show panel when download begins" option checked, and I also made sure my about:config option is "true" - still doesn't work. :'( Can anyone help me? Thank you so much!

I'm constantly adding names to the Firefox dictionary so that it'll stop showing them as misspelled. But the one area where it just refuses to do what I want is when a word/name is possessive. As an example, I had no issue with adding the name "Targaryen" to the dictionary, but it refused to add "Targaryen's". No matter how many times I right-clicked and choose "Add to Dictionary", it always ended up with that wavy red line underneath.

I tried going in an manually adding some possessive words and names to the personal dictionary file, but Firefox STILL registered them as incorrect.

Until right this moment, as I was typing this post out. I tried to add "Targaryen's" again just to see, and suddenly... the dictionary added it. Tried with a few more words; same result. As long as I typed it in this text box, Firefox was suddenly happy to add it to its dictionary.

This is... all kinds of weird. Why would Firefox only add words to its personal dictionary if they are added while on a certain website? That's inconvenient and weird for so many people, and definitely feels like something that needs to be looked into.

I want to add a custom Google search but there is no obvious way to do this. Firefox for Android will just let you enter the search URL and name it. Chrome also allows this.

I returned from holiday yesterday and could not access any of the favourite sites on my homepage. Only the outline of each tile is present on screen, but the rest of the tiles are empty and nothing happens when you click them. I have checked the settings and can change the number of rows of blank tiles shown, but not add any content. What could have happened? I was not there to make any changes to my system.

I can change the color of links and background in Firefox options. But i want only to change the colour of visited links on all pages and NOT also the colors of background and text. These 2 options are connected which is not practically i mean.

Are there addons who could do this? thx

About a week ago, every time I start Firefox, the cursor is in the url window/address bar instead of the main (google) search window

Unable to locate and modify the correct setting to return to Firefox opening in the main search window not the url/address bar window

All Address Bar — Firefox Suggest settings remain off

I modified keyword.enabled to false as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/questions/1359116 and restarted firefox however same condition remains

Firefox 105.0, Ubuntu 20.04

Any assist appreciated
