Firefox Support Forum

I wish Firefox's "List all tabs" feature worked more like Chrome's "Search tabs" feature. While they're similar, Chrome's implementation immediately offers a search field with the cursor already in it. To search for an open tab all I have to do is click the arrow and start typing. In Firefox I have to click the arrow and then click again on "Search tabs".

It may sound like a minor detail but I would argue that all the detail are important.

Also, I know that I can type a "%" in the address bar to begin a tab search but sometimes my hand is already on the mouse.

I recently added the Firefox browser, and have it fully up-to-date, and tried adding a few extensions/add-ons. But nowhere are the icons for those extensions/add-ons showing up anywhere in the browser. Not even in the customize toolbars region. I can see that I've added those extensions/add-ons, but their associated icons are nowhere to be found.

How do I go about fixing/correcting this issue?

When I click a mailto link it brings up the GMail app. Instead I want the Yahoo Compose window. Several posts suggest various arcane methods. Either they do not apply or they require hacking. Has the situation improved?

How can I make mailto links go to the Compose window on mail.yahoo.com?

So, I have been seeing this IP address (208.122.218.205) appearing in Manage Cookies and Site Data when I check, clean, etc, at about:preferences#privacy. From what I've learned the IP address is is owned by MOJOHOST. But I have no idea why it keeps appearing? Should I be concerned?

I want to install AdBlock Plus add on, verify it is in fact installed. Also [[;ace icon in taskbar. Also set it for NO ADS at all. Please, how do I do all that?

No third party extension from the Mozilla Add-On Store allows you to add your own sticky notes directly onto the Default Firefox Home Page. It seems to be because of security reasons. Could a sticky notes customization tool be built-in natively to Firefox itself to enable sticky notes to be created and pinned on the Default Firefox Home Page?

Hey, hope you're well

I'd prefer opening new tabs to happen in the background, so I can stay on the original page.

So far, Firefox seems to open new links and will switch to them immediately, automatically.

I checked in settings, and found the setting in the attached image.

I found that whether this setting was checked or unchecked, the behavior remained the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I've got a pretty simple question here.

I do work thru a website doing data entry. One of the forms has a "copy this data to all similar fields" button. When I used to use Chrome, I could click the button and it would work with no pop-up dialogue. In Firefox, it creates the dialogue below (mozillahow2.png) asking me to confirm that I want to copy the data. It has an option to prevent the page from creating additional diologues.

I tried ticking the box but, unfortunately, this prevents the copy-to-all function in the website from working at all; it blocks the dialogue completely rather than defaulting to "yes, confirm" etc.

I'm just wondering how I can tinker around and make this work like it does in Chrome. It's a minor inconvenience but one I would like to optimize.

Thanks! -LDStrait//Chilperic Fanethegn

Hey, I have a Profile, where the tab-toolbar is disabled and where I only have a Window with the Website, this is okay, because I want it that way, but I want to enable for this profile the windows controls, but the rest should be still disabled. I found only the setting for disable the windows controls which is: „ #window-controls { display:none!important; }“. But I don‘t find the option to enable it. Does somebody knows how I can do this?

When I'm using Jira in Edge and I copy the URL from the browser bar, pasting from the clipboard formats the URL as a hyperlink with the title of the Jira issue. This is super convenient, and I'm hoping that the same functionality exists in Firefox and that I just haven't found it yet.

Does such a thing exist?

Hello. I'm a MAC user, I've been using Firefox on desktop + the app for years, but I don't understand why this happens.

When using other browsers I have to click somewhere to close all active sessions but Firefox just does it automatically for me, and it's... very annoying, only I use this computer so I don't need such thing. It's there a way to turn that off? Because I couldn't find it.

And to be clear, it doesn't close my sessions when I "close" the Firefox tab, it's when I exit the application as a whole.

And yes, when there IS an issue and Firefox closes itself, Firefox does open my old tabs again, which is great, but the logging out thing? not so much, since I use authentication apps too.

Sorry for the English! It's not my native language.

Is there a way to view the primary password before entering it? If I'm unable to see the password while typing, or after I type it, I'm unable to know if my password is being rejected because I mistyped or I'm trying the wrong password.

I made a theme on Firefox Colour and the image that I put under the 'custom backgrounds' tab isn't appearing as the background. Instead it uses the Background Colour from the Custom Colours menu. How would I fix it, so that the image is displayed behind the tabs? (My settings are in the images below.)

I'm new to Firefox, usually in other browser, like Chrome and Edge, when I use the selector to choose element and click on it, it will bring back the console but it doesn't seems to happen in Firefox. ( I'm using separate window for the console )
