Many development tools will automatically open a browser upon start-up (e.g., fire-up a react-app, or a jupyter Notebook). I only have `firefox-dev` on my machine. I have created an alias firefox -> ../path/to/firefox-dev/bin. I had to do this because `firefox-dev` nor `firefox` worked (command not recognized). Finally, my mac os preference has been set to `firefox-dev`.
Despite having set the `env` variable `$BROWSER` set to the alias, the desired behavior (above) is not happening.
All in all, it would be great to have expanded documentation on how to fully configure your mac to use `firefox-dev`. Thank you in advance for any help on this useful part of my workflow.
PS: I love this app. Nice job!

As mentioned, those are active
- Restore Previous Session
- Warn you when quitting"
Those windows with important tabs (each time) could not be access through "Recently Closed Windows" If I have to restart my mac, I lose all my tabs
This is a major issue for me as this is an important feature that absolutely need to work...
Thanks

From around 5 months ago when I download "any type of file", I sometimes get an empty dialog box except for the very top line "opening xxxxxx.xxx". i.e. there is no "You have chose to open....What should firefox do with this file, open or save file etc. " Usually this corrects itself when I try to download the file again.

When developing with React-Native, when using the console debugger (with Firefox), it won't show which file/line number the log is coming from. In Google Chrome, when logging something, it shows the file/line where the log is coming from.
Is there a way to get Firefox to do the same thing as Google Chrome? As you can tell, I want to remove Google Chrome completely.

Hello ! I'm using Firefox Developer (70.0b13, but happens on normal version too), and the Twitch streams lags when using resolution above 360p. When using the automatic quality, the stream starts at maximum quality. Then keeps dropping until 360p. Then the lag stops, but won't change back to max bandwidth possible quality. If I manually set the quality to 720 or 1080, the lag continues. Of course, I checked the internet and on another browsers (Brave and Edge Chromium). I can watch at 1080p without problems. I only have uBlock as extension installed. And this is happening for some time (more one week).
Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking whether editing and altering already cached earlier input strings could be possible. I know that the entire cache could just be deleted using "Clear Recent History". But that is not a well-planned option. Some input strings could have as well been simple typos or ill-formed strings. They could in fact be distractions or eyesores. So why not be allowed an option to edit the cached strings? I always do this for my .bash-history file to keep it compact and useful. So I figure there could be a file in firefox to do just that. Well, for a personal computer dedicated to a single user, this could be a good option.
Firefox on macOS 10.15 stops loading webpages

Please continue here: [/questions/1270789]
Recently updated my 2012 MacBook Pro to macOS 10.15. After Firefox has been open for a while, it stops loading webpages. The title of the page loads, the browser window goes white and never displays anything; the page attempts to load continuously and navigation buttons don't respond. Other than that, Firefox operates and responds as though nothing's wrong. Meanwhile all other browsers can navigate the web just fine. Quitting Firefox (from the menu bar) causes the windows to close but an entry remains in "Force Quit" for an extended period. It can be forced closed from here, but doing so causes further attempts to open Firefox to have no windows appear; the only way to reopen Firefox appears to be to restart the whole computer. If allowed to close the rest of the way on its own- which can take up to 10 minutes- the crash dialog appears and Firefox can be restarted.
This has continued to happen despite repairing the drive, refreshing Firefox, removing and reinstalling Firefox, disabling hardware acceleration, running in safe mode, etc. There are no extensions installed and I have not synced my Firefox account.

Hi, I would like to point out that the drag n drop feature of Firefox is not really good.
I have used many linux distribution and faced this problem from the day I started using Linux. I thought Firefox team would notice this, and work on this, so I didn't report any bug. But the problem stayed the same.
The Problem: When you try to drag a file from any file manager (I used Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Pcmanfm, and Dolphin file managers) on Linux, it will not instantly pop the "Drag files here" on supported websites. For example, when you try to upload files to mega, you have to drag and drop multiple times before getting it working. That doesn't happen with Chromium.
Even worse, if you try to drag and drop hundreds of files, Firefox will crash. I have also tried Firefox Nightly and Firefox Beta. Same. No improvement on them. Here I would like to attach a screenshot of the crash.

My system is an iMac Pro with two smaller resolution secondary monitors. When FireFox is run on one of the smaller resolution monitors all drop-down lists present all the day but will only scroll through some of the data. Placing FireFox on the iMac Pro's built in high resolution display allows the drop-downs to render correctly. This issue is not seen with browsers based on Webkit or Blink.
Also impacted by the render issue are the control's for tab only respond to interaction on the bottom quarter.
The system is a iMacPro1,1 running MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta (19B77a), and FireFox is 70.0 of the beta update channel. The secondary monitors are 1920x1080

Since update I've notice an unaesthetics light border on the top of the firefox window (1st attachment). Before it was like 2nd attachment (taken from Thunderbird but it was the same in firefox), more pleasant, at least to my eyes.
It's not a bug or something serious.
Keep doin' good job you all. <3

I recently started using security keys and when I go to a website requiring login I get some kind of windows native prompt to touch the key. However it blocks the content behind it making me unable to change some preferences before logging in (remember me for e.g.).
Interestingly I've tried on a different machine at my workplace and instead of a windows native window I get a small integrated prompt which doesn't have this usability issue. Both of the machines use Firefox 70.0 and windows 10. My copy of windows is 1903 (I don't know about the other machine).
Is there an option in firefox not to use native security prompts from windows?

Steps to reproduce:
- With an open Firefox window in the foreground - Enter keyboard shortcut: Command-N
Expected behaviour:
- New window opens with keyboard focus on the location field - Keys enters appear immediately as text in the location field
Observed behaviour:
- New Firefox window opens without keyboard focus in the location field - Keys typed are not entered into the location field
Further observations:
- Entering Command-L focuses the location field as expected - Opening a new *private* window *does* place keyboard focus in the location field - All installed extensions are permitted in private windows

In the Find box, sometimes the search skips over my word of interest before I fully type in the word.
I would like to search the old fashioned way in the Find box. Let me completely type my search word and hit Enter before the search commences.
Is this possible?
I do not have the "Search as You Type" option turned on, which really does not apply to the Find box.
I don't see my navigation toolbar, I have the setting rigth.
My bookmarks toolbar also is falling. Please send me a message with the problem answer.
