Firefox Community Forum

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

I want to re-ask this archived question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1168048 but for the most recent version of firefox as the solution to that question does not seem to be accurate anymore. Couldn't find any other questions like this.

Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?

My browser keeps automatically switching from a window size that I've created to a full screen. I'd like it to stay in the window format. Is there a setting I can change?

Hi, With ctrl+maj+del, you are able to delete everything cache cookies and such.. but is it possible to delete everything but speed dials or at least pinned speed dials ?

Thanks

Hi.

Very old/test system. centos6 - running ff ver78.3. really old, rarely used, for testing.

However, within the last few days, something has occurred that has removed the vertical up/down arrows in the browser window. The other test browsers -- chrome/sea-monkey have the up/down arrows for scrolling.

Looking through the about:config attributes, based on other past user posts haven't solved the issue.

thanks
