Firefox Community Forum

Hi. Interestingly, Firefox doesn't have an option to show only the saved sites on the homepage. But rather messes it up with the sites i've visited before. It's a really simple issue but is really annoying me. Nearly every other browser has this but not Firefox. Also i've seen a lot of people complaining about the same issue here but they all seem archived/closed. I don't think it would be hard to implement such a basic feature.

Hello,

Is there a way to get specific popups to automatically move to a specific display/screen either based on a URL fragment (RegEx?) or a popup Title?

Thank You

Brad

Is it possible to disable the transition that is triggered by pressing f11 or clicking the "Display the window in full screen" button in the application menu. I am referring to the animation where the toolbar slides upward, not the fade to black animation.

I'm not sure how to interpret the message on the extensions here but needles to say Xdebug helper is not setting the proper headers.

What is this message and how to solve it?

Hello everyone, yesterday I was half asleep and I pressed whatever key combination and now my Google looks like this (see the attachment)

Does anyone know how to have the 'all images news etc' looking horizontal/normal again? I cannot figure it out in any way

Firefox provides the wonderful accessibility setting to override any website's css with custom colors and fonts, but this breaks some websites. I was wondering if there was any way (either by default, an add-on, or css-hack) to set custom colors and fonts per-website? Currently the only way to do this is to manually turn the settings off when you want to browse a website that it breaks - it would be very useful to have a website whitelist. At the very least it would be useful to have an "accessibility" button in the toolbar that turns on and off css overrides.

Thanks

Jag använder VismaNet och får felmeddelande "firefox har förhindrat att den här sidan automatiskt styr om till en annan sida" när jag loggar in, hur kan jag tillåta detta så att jag slipper trycka på knappne "Tillåt".

I'm trying to revert Firefox back to its classical behavior of asking whether and where to save files. Changing "browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel" to FALSE does not work. Even with "Always ask where to save files" in SETTINGS selected. I've found numerous confusing write-ups on the forum.

As many have expressed, the decision to make saving files automatically the default is a TERRIBLE one.

I require a step by step method to change Firefox back to its original behavior concerning saving of files. I've used Firefox since its inception and this is the first time I've ever asked for help. If the current behavior is made an unchangeable default I will likely switch to another browser.

Greetings:

I want to have Dark Mode on everything. Thus also, yes, Firefox.

This site, for instance, is "Light Mode", which is addressed by someone else. The response was: "Hi Dennis, this support site does not have a dark mode. Sorry. Add-ons are not allowed to inject scripts into certain Mozilla sites because this would give them elevated privileges to access certain internal information hidden from normal websites and add-ons. So let's focus on other sites, since I assume you don't really use this one very often."

This support has no dark mode? UNFORGIVABLE! I mean, seriously: You offer in Firefox a "Dark Mode" which hardly works, seeing most websites coming up "Light Mode". Then NOT allowing a script which would make this side become Dark Mode, is not unforgivable ... it is downright wrong! I mean, why am I not allowed to see this site in Dark Mode, as this bright white is hurting my sight? This is darn user unfriendly, and breaches our customisation rights.

It is not that we turn it into an illegal style, like some porn style for instance. We just want it DARK. How wrong can that be?

More, what is the logic in offering it, but then to deprive us in this by you (Mozilla, not the users) revoking Dark Mode TOTALLY. EITHER you (Mozilla) gives us Dark Mode, and TOTALLY, EVERYWHERE, or remove it. Since this dualistic mindset, having severe Asperger's and ADHD, is something in which my brain conflicts. It is either All, or nothing. Not this half baked cookie you give us. Contradictions are a bad thing for us, we need clarity, and this ... just ain't clear. Is it yes or no? Can't be both.

Please make up your mind?

To the users responding, I thank you for the help you offer. Sadly, you often encounter issues that are not in your control, such as this one. Maybe we all should make a stand together, and ask Mozilla to het their heads out of the sand, for a second, to address the issues you users can't fix? Merely thinking out loud.

Is there a way to ENFORCE Dark Mode as setting to all websites, please? Tried several addons, but those all were equally half baked (not really, the damn website owners refuse the option of Dark Mode, for whatever reason, and like here, this light-blasting menace of a site which gives me a spectacular migraine, block addons from functioning. It had come so far, we are not even masters any more of our own damn health!!!

So, if you have a good alternative (I tried Dark Reader, Dark Mode, BlackOut and a few others, none truly seem to black all sites out ...)?

Thank you. Ben

I have recently added the extension Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express. It does not appear on the toolbar. I've looked and tried what was onthe support pages and nothing helps.

Is this an extension that should appear on the toolbar. I am not using private browsing. If it can be on the toolbar, how do I get the thing on it you use? Just a bit frustrated.

Thanks, Irv

Hello, "How to stop the search from jumping to the address bar when typing on Firefox Home" was closed, but not resolved. I use DuckDuckGo as my home page and new tab page. It is annoying to have to click on the search field that I want to use. Using the address bar puts a slight strain on my neck.

One excuse from SeanaMuigean in the aforementioned article (1334131) is that all of the other search engines are doing it. My guess is that they do this because it allows the browser to track one's searches. If Firefox is doing this it seems like a very large issue.

I have set awesomebar to False and that seemed to work for a while but no longer. (Not so awesome to me)

Please make it so that a new tab makes the cursor jump to the expected field.

Thank you, Rod Carroll

My "iamtranslator" addon/extension badge is missing from my tool bar. It is listed as "enabled". Where did it go? I tried dis-abling it, rebooting, enabling it, rebooting. Nothing worked.

Firefox up-grades always reset my preferences settings presumably to a Firefox default condition. I then have to reset them back to where I want them. Can I stop this happening?

Hi, I have a widescreen monitor and I really like utilizing, well, the width of it. But for the life of me I cannot take out the extension icons from the little jigsaw puzzle. For instance, I'd really like Ublock Origin to be right on the toolbar and not click through the jigsaw icon. I tried setting extensions.unifiedExtensions.enabled flag to false but it did nothing.

I opened my computer a couple of days ago and found that all my web pages are in dark mode. I saw one fix on the help page that suggested going to layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override to fix the problem. The issue I have with this is I don't know how to access this page. I'm on a Mac Book running Ventura 13.4.1

'System theme — auto' does not work and causes CPU usage 100% I noticed this July 1 an increase in CPU usage of up to 100% when viewing videos on YouTube from Mozilla. I removed all my add-ons without improvement. I noticed that this phenomenon did not occur when viewing in 'full screen' but only in a window. By disabling the 'System theme — auto' theme, the problem disappeared. I noticed that this theme was updated to version 1.3 today July 1st. I add that this theme, which is supposed to follow the system theme, does not work correctly under Windows 10 when, as for my system personalized theme have been set. I have ‘title bar and windows borders’ in green option for active windows and in purple for inactive windows. Mozilla displays the 'title bar' in black.

I've tried the F9 Keyboard Shortcut, I've tried other Reader Add-Ons, this function simply doesn't work with Outlook. Either when in the Inbox, or with an opened Email. Anyone else encounter this?

Anyone know of a solution to making this work?

On a VERY side note: Here is my 1st initial text, when I believed the problem was about Firefox Add-Ons (I now have discovered it's not about the Add-Ons, it's the about the Reader View function). << When double-clicking on an Email, on the Outlook web site (https://outlook.office.com/mail/), the Email opens in a new window. When the new Window is opened, doesn't work.

When I click on Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" Icon and disable it, then the Extensions work. What's even weirder, is the behavior is the same for the REVERSE (if the Enhanced Protection is Disabled, the Keyboard Shortcut doesn't work until I "ENABLE" the Enhanced Protection).

Is there a setting in about:config that can return the functionality of Add-Ons (Extensions)?

On a side note, I found a setting to force the New Emails to Open in a new Tab instead of a new Window. The same bevaior is replicated, No improvement has been shown on that front. browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 0 >>

Hello,

I really enjoy Firefox's reader mode and the "listen" (text to speech) function. I get an email newsletter that doesn't have a web page (i.e. the content exists only in my inbox).

Is there a way to have Firefox use the reader mode in gmail? Or is there another app I can use?

Thanks!
