Hi. Recently, not sure of which version as there seems to be a lot of updates :)

I'm currently on 152.0.1 on a Windows 11.

This problem doesn't happen on my Raspberry pi with 152.0 (aarch64) On my Android 13 I have allowed Pop-ups, via about:config, sort of, but there is no option to make Exceptions

So back to Windows 11.

As said I can enter an exception and that works when I load the site I want until I close Fx and I have to do it all again: Enter Domain : Allow : Save etc.

Once, and only once, I closed the [settings] and I'm sure after closing FX and opening it worked fine.

Just closed again and problem has occurred.

The issue arises on my site https://calstock.org.uk which opens a window to a UK weather site, The Met Office. It requires cookies etc. and shows it's own popup.

What I do is open it first in a new window, which is the popup I am referring to, then I load it in an iframe, then I close the popup.

That way the cookie is set by the new window that pops up so there is no query on my main page.

I only have the one extension, uBlock Origin which I have on all devices

Thanks

In Firefox on my Android phone, when I type about:config in the address bar and press Go, it takes me to a description of that functionality, not the configuration page. I have tried DuckDuckGo, Chrome, and Bing, and they all do the same thing. How can I go to the about:config page?

My Firefox version is 152.0.5 (Build #2016171143). My phone is a Galaxy A32 5G, model SM-A326U, Android version 13, One UI version is 5.1.

Hey guys, am I the only one having trouble finding the right timezone in the widget? I cannot set Indian Time Zone (IST, GMT +5:30, New Delhi, whatever) nor easily find Canadian timezones (i.e., Ottawa).

I know I can put GMT+4 and call it a day but A) I don't want to deal with summertime daylight saving times and B) Funny enough, if I select the GMT+4, clock goes to GMT-4 (and this happens for every other timezone).

Recently a new sidebar appeared on Firefox on my desktop. I actually really liked the change because I have wanted to move my tabs to the side for a while. I had tree style tabs installed and I was a little annoyed that I couldn't disable the tabs on the top bar. But now I can!

My laptop however does not have the new sidebar yet and when I look for updates it says there aren't any. My laptop has limited screen space and I much prefer to have this new ui choice but I can't enable it. I understand that they probably update new designs in batches to test the waters but is there a way to get around it and enable it on my laptop too?

I use the same Firefox account for both so it seems a little counterintuitive to have different experiences on different devices on the same account.

Also very much thank you for this change! It's something I've wanted for a while. I also have one little suggestion and that is to have the option for a similar feature to tree style tabs on the sidebar tab layout.
