Firefox Support Forum

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!

I'd guess there's already a discussion regarding this, but I don't know where. Getting rid of the borders when there are multiple tabs open and turning things gray makes for a far worse browsing experience for me. Why would one string of undifferentiated text in a long line of tabs make things any easier? It does not.

I've found a helpful site that allows turning off the new theme, but a commenter advises that that option too will soon be disabled: https://www.askvg.com/tip-restore-old-classic-theme-and-ui-in-firefox-89-and-later-versions/

Is there an add-on that keeps the "classic" theme? I've googled how to provide feedback. One of those links is dead. What's the best way to make my thoughts known?

People love tech, but the older I get the more I see how it demonstrates a lack of ownership, that nothing is really yours on your devices, that what you're comfortable with is only one weekly update away.

I have a laptop running version 93.0 (64-bit). It has removed the Trend Micro Toolbar & will not allow it to install. I have a different laptop running the same version of Firefox & it has no issues with the Trend Micro Toolbar. Please help me resolve the problem with the first laptop.

Hi, I'm sorry this is long-winded, I just want to explain it with full context as best as I can.

I just replaced my laptop after many months, and in that time have been using Firefox on my phone. I was excited to use the desktop browser again and sync everything. After I got signed in, customized my header layout, got my addons, all my settings, etc., I moved on to something else and closed Firefox. The next time I opened it, I noticed my profile picture in the toolbar wasn't changing from the default. When I clicked it, it said sign in and had a sync button, and a 3rd empty option. If I tried to sign in it would automatically take me to my account settings, as if nothing was wrong, and if I tried to sync it would ask me to sign in but load forever upon clicking confirm. But so many dropdown options and dialog boxes were blank, it was sort of broken. I refreshed Firefox and it let me login again but after I went through it all, it happened again. I uninstalled the few addons I had, still happened. Tried messing with some delete-upon-close options I saw someone suggest in another help thread, didn't work. After trying over and over and getting very overwhelmed and disappointed, I finally noticed that it only happens once I set my theme to one with a gif as the header image. If it's a still image it keeps me logged in as usual. But if it is animated I end up with this error again.

So, I guess my question is, can anyone please tell me why this happens? Is it something I can fix? I can live without an animated theme but I was excited for it, I even made 2 myself but also tried existing ones and this happened with each one. Is there something I should do to make it work? If no one has any answers maybe this will at least help someone else trying to search for it.

Thank you so much!

Howdy!, I'm running Firefox 94.0.1 64bit on a Windows 7 PC, and there isn't anything going wrong, but I would like to be able to sort the list of files being downloaded at the top of the list from files that have completed downloaded automatically, and I can't seem to find any help topics about this already.

For example if I am downloading 20 files, I understand that only the last 5 files I started to download will appear and will show in the list unless I click on the "show all downloads" button at the bottom... that's ok, and is as expected, that's not my problem...

BUT... And here's my problem, if lets say the first file of those twenty files is a huge 10 GB file and is going to take 50+ minutes to download, but the 2nd thru 20th files are just some dinky 2 meg JPG files and they download practically instantly... whenever I open my "ongoing download list", it will STILL only show the last 5 files downloaded, even though they are completed and yet that first file which ISN'T finished doesn't show at all until I click the "show all" button to even see it, and even then I may still have to scroll down the list of finished files in order to actually see it's progress...

Is there a command I can put into my profile / or is there a preexisting add-on/extension (or whatever) that i can download/install that will constantly sort the output of the downloads list so that the ACTUAL active downloads are the top of the list showing up as those first five lines on the short list, and if I have more than five the rest are hidden until I click the show all button (preferably sorted in the order of most percentage completed to least percentage completed), and then, as a file completes its download, it gets moved to the top of the completed/history section... IE after all the files are completely downloaded, the list will be sorted by the file COMPLETION time NOT the time I STARTED to download it. I seem to recall that a prior version of Firefox acted this way, but I don't remember if I had to modify something to get it to do that, or if it was a standard/stock feature that I somehow turned off in this build and forgot how i did it... or, if I'm actually misremembering it that way at all and it's just wishful thinking on my part!!!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any info you can help figure out for me...

Hi there,

The speed dial add-on has been blocked but I didn't know it was going to be blocked and therefore need a back up of all my links as it held the shortcuts to a number of businesses.

I'm happy to transfer this to another add on but need the links.

Please help.

MS installed the latest firefox version and it has made all my backgrounds black and text white!!! I hate it!!! I can't read much on many sites.

Please help me get rid of this latest install.

Thank you

I often misspell "the" as "hte", and other similar typos where (usually the first) two letters are opposite hands of the keyboard and my right hand it slightly faster than my left. Awhile ago, I accidentally hit ADD TO DICTIONARY instead of the THE to correct it. I have also just did it again with a similar typo.

Everything I can find online says there should be a persdict.dat file in my Profile folder, but it is nowhere to be found. I have searched my entire C: drive (including hidden files) for persdict and nothing was found. Has it been moved? OR is there some other way to delete that? Maybe even just a "Delete ALL" added words to go back to the default, since I have never purposely added any words to the dictionary? Since it IS a word I misspell a lot, I really need it to flag it again so I notice it.

To be clear, I am not talking about any add on dictionary or extension. Just whatever Firefox uses by default for filling in forms.

Hi,

Back in the old days of classic extensions, they had access to FF's GUI elements, provided such privileges were asked in a manifest file.

For example, there were extensions that added tab's title to the URL bar. And I want to do exactly that nowadays, too.

WebExtensions can not do that but this should work with userChrome.js, right?

If so, maybe someone has already done it and I simply could not find it. Does anybody know?

If not, then how do I access the URL bar object to add text (e.g. page's title) to it or something else?

Thanks in advance.

I got a trouble with UserChrome-Tweaks

Any of the tweaks are good for me except of one trouble. While playing a video on Youtube I can see the bug picture. Something causes this bug on playing video. How to fix it in my Firefox 95.0.2 version? (I turned the updates off for good by now)

What am I supposed to do? o_O

May anyone give me right answer?

I'm having a really hard time trying to put proper terms into my request. Please bear with me.

I believe it's a version or two ago that Firefox started imposing an arbitrary limit on how long I could explore in a pulldown bookmarks menu before it disappeared. I believe that earlier this wasn't the case: that once I was searching around among bookmarks they would be available to me to mouse around in for as long as I needed. Now they self-retract after a few seconds.

Is there a hidden pref to remove or greatly increase the time before the automatic withdrawal of bookmark menus while in use occurs?

I hope I'm being clear about this. I'm sure my terminology is less than accurate.

Thanks

I'm just trying to NOT have Firefox open my last session when I open it up after rebooting Linux. I've tried many chosen solutions on this site but nothing is working. Here are the settings I've tried with no success (note that I have tried each one individually with a restart between):

"Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked. "browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes" is 0. "browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand" is false. "browser.sessionstore.restore_tabs_lazily" is false. "browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash" is false. "browser.startup.couldRestoreSession.count" is 0 but it sets itself back to 1. "sessionstore-windows-restored" within "sessionCheckpoints.json" in the profile folder is false but sets itself back to true. Deleting "sessionCheckpoints.json" does nothing. I don't have "user.js" in my profile folder.

Here's my system info:

Firefox Version: 95.0.2 (64-bit) Manjaro KDE KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.12-1-MANJARO (64-bit)

Hopefully this is the appropriate place to ask. Javascript just doesn't seem to work for temporary extensions. When I couldn't get my own extension to work, I tried to follow the tutorial in "Your second extension" (link) and it also just doesn't work. HTML and CSS load just fine but it's none functional. I can't even get a simple log out to console.

I just updated to Windows 11 a few days ago. Is it possible there is some setting I changed a long time ago that is causing this behavior?

Firefox was working fine after update to version 96.0. Firefox was no longer displaying Fonts correctly.

Interactive pages have become almost unusable. It is very difficult to navigate and fill in forms because most buttons and fields have no borders. The screen is mostly blank with just text and a few bits with borders. It is difficult to see where to click or add text.

I've tried resetting, running in safe mode and running with a fresh profile. None make any difference.

Some have Attached some screenshots

I have an issue with programs that change my settings without my permission. Every now and then the print dialog screen is changed and I have to go to about:config and reset the "print_tab modal to "false", I think. I say that because neither setting fixes the problem.

Any Ideas?

Thank you

Why did Mozilla remove the disabled add-on fixes for older Firefox versions & where are they now?

Mozilla created them, made them available, advertised them & their location but after a short while removed them!! WTF?!?!?

In particular I'm looking for the disabled-add-on-fix-52-56. Please put all three of them back online for Firefox users ASAP.

Thanks.

Basically, I want to remove toolbar, bookmark bar, tabbar, so that there is only the webpage and the window title. I would like to have this effect, so that I can make a website look like a PWA. How could I do this?

Thanks in advance
