Firefox Community Forum

updating my profile i found option of 2nd factor notification that I use always when offered. it asked me to make up my own unique code that no one else would have so i made up a string of letters-numbers but nothing happened, tried only my favorite numbers - zip. then couple favorite words - zip. so started to close computer and noticed a lot of emails from Mozilla each with typical 6-digit confirmation code number - so i am not supposed to invent my own private code? all of the numbers emailed to me have long since expired. Please don't kill my accounts! I use a lot of Moz apps - but must use hateful Outfock b/c university no longer supports T'bird.

i was using firefox with multiple tabs for most of today, had to shut pc down to run errands. When i restarted pc, firefox would not start, i have it pinned on my task bar/start menu/whatever. I opened my system moniter to see what was going on when i tried to start firefox and the processes do not show up in the process list. I tried a reinstall with the ubuntu software store and no noticeable change in behavior. Not sure how to get into the profile section, the option for it with a right click on the firefox icon does nothing seemingly. Under normal operations i have seen two firefox processes listed.

How to change main domain is not automatically shown in the search of Firefox browser but the desired URL?

I have always typed "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you" in the URL bar both in firefox desktop and mobile and other Gecko-based browsers such as Zen, Floorp, Midori, Iceraven, Waterfox, Librewolf but dont know why it always shows up "https://www.youtube.com" as soon as I type "y".

I have not seen same behaviour in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, as Chrome knows if I have visited "youtube domain" several times but not through "https://www.youtube.com/" but through "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you", then it shows me the latter, thus helps me in avoiding my few seconds of this bug or inconsistency.

Not limited to "https://www.youtube.com/" but to every other site such as Google.com or social media like Instagram, where I don't visit the homepage but my saved bookmarks page.

Can anybody clarify on this, if this is a bug or a gifted feature by Firefox devs?

And can we change this as this causes issues esp., for working people (I have recently shifted my Chrome data to a new Firefox profile so this is causing issues in working after MV3 drama) who visited direct URL not the one given or promoted or shown by browser. I dont like this and want to change it as it doesn't help me in anyways.

The most unfortunate thing is that we cannot cancel or reject or cut it out like Chrome does with "X" in the URL bar when it detects something which we dont know it to proceed with but Firefox, nah.

The biggest benefit is that it saves your time, helps you focus and avoid you waste your time, if the site has too many things to distract you from actual work. Like YouTube has great courses and podcast interviews and I have saved them and want to direct go there (https://www.youtube.com/feed/you), then I am saved from going to main page which has unwanted videos that will only take my time, losing my productivity. Is Firefox not concerned about our productivity, is Chrome only cares?

Do check 3 screenshots attached for better understanding, the 3rd one is from chrome.

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut for the Bookmarks Library back to Ctrl-Shift-B?

I tried the old solution offered here (config.js / config-prefs.js), but it no longer seems to work in FF 131: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318541

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
