I keep getting these annoying "ads by Google" banners on the bottom of my screen. How do I make them go away permanently? Can I do this through Firefox settings or do I need to install a separate popup blocker?

Opening bookmark folders with middle click automatically switches to the tab of the first bookmark in the folder.

The config settings:

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs
  • browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground

All set to true seems to only affect single bookmarks, i.e. bookmarks that are not folders.

Why is this still something that can't be configured? Mozilla please add some support for this.

Has anyone found a fix for this issue? All help is very welcome, thanks in advice.

Firefox latest update - How to switch off automatic closing of duplicate tabs

The latest firefox update makes it so that when you have duplicate tabs open, if you close one, it closes them ALL. I had an issue where YouTube decided instead of opening a video in the same tab, it opened in a new tab, a setting I immediately fixed when I realized it had happened.

Unfortunately, I only wanted THE DUPLICATE TABS to close, not ALL of the tabs linking to that video. I wanted A SINGLE TAB REMAINING of that tab, but there appears to be no setting anywhere in Firefox to change that. Can anyone help???

To be clear: When I have multiple of the same tab, I only want to close the other duplicates, not all of them, so I can still go about my business on that one tab.

Ex: I open a YouTube video by accident in multiple tabs, I wish to watch this video without having to search YouTube for it again. I want to close the duplicates of that video tab, but not the original one.

Since installing the latest version of firefox all the web pages are in dark mode even though everything is set to light mode in settings and themes. A lot of the sites are not designed to be in dark mode, they look horrible and some buttons/text are not visible unless the mouse is hovered over them. Strangely these support pages are the only ones in light mode. Please help

I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 which came with FF 129.0.2. I had a backup of my bookmarks which I imported from an HTML file, and now they're a complete mess. :( When I go to Manage Bookmarks, it shows they were imported in separate folders, in a certain order, but the folders are not showing when I expand the Bookmarks menu, nor do all the bookmarks. In small letters above it says "Recent bookmarks" followed by a mix of bookmarks from different folders; and not all the bookmarks are there. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this

FireFox 129.0.2 (64-bit) - This issue persists across updates.

If a YTTV tab is left inactive for a few minutes, the keyboard shortcuts (ex: 'm' to mute) stop working until the page is interacted with again using the mouse (clicking on mute/volume, stop/start the stream etc.) The stream plays normally otherwise.

I'm not sure if this is related to YTTV, Firefox, extensions or Windows (Win 10 Pro)

Extensions: UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, MalwareBytes Browser Guard, Old Reddit redirect and Reddit Enhancement Suite

15-30 tabs are normally open. Firefox is currently using 2.5Gb memory (32Gb installed).

Privacy Settings are set to custom (image attached).
