Firefox Support Forum

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?

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 trying to revert Firefox back to its classical behavior of asking whether and where to save files. Changing "browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel" to FALSE does not work. Even with "Always ask where to save files" in SETTINGS selected. I've found numerous confusing write-ups on the forum.

As many have expressed, the decision to make saving files automatically the default is a TERRIBLE one.

I require a step by step method to change Firefox back to its original behavior concerning saving of files. I've used Firefox since its inception and this is the first time I've ever asked for help. If the current behavior is made an unchangeable default I will likely switch to another browser.

My "iamtranslator" addon/extension badge is missing from my tool bar. It is listed as "enabled". Where did it go? I tried dis-abling it, rebooting, enabling it, rebooting. Nothing worked.

I use Dragon talk to text because I am unable to type. I need to install the Web extension and for some reason I have not been able to do it for several weeks now. it tells me it is blocked but I need it. Please help. Thank you.

For Debian Linux, I have a post-installation script in which I would like to make a few local settings for a newly created user account in the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-directory>/user.js. However, before the user has launched Firefox there is no ~/.mozilla directory. Knowing that the default profile directory name ends with .default-esr I tried creating a new profile with the command

firefox -CreateProfile default-esr

but when Firefox is launched it creates another profile directory which ends with .default-esr-1. How can I create local settings from a script (without user intervention) before Firefox has been launched?

I run Debian 12.1 and Mozilla Firefox 102.13.0esr (from the standard repository).

Hello,

I've been facing this problem while i try to download something from internet. I am trying to set firefox to ask me every time where to download the file. But firefox automatically downloads it on desktop and opens the file. I know i'm supposed to select "Always ask you where to save files" but I see no radio button beside the option "Save files to". I've attached a screenshot of my options menu. Is there any solution? My firefox is updated to latest version (115.0.3 64 bit)

Best Wishes!

Hay, I just switched over from chrome and there is one very important thing missing. However its a pretty easy thing to add. A digital clock as part of the browsers UI (To the right of the searchbar in my case) Chrome has a Addon for that sadly firefox does not. So id like to Request for you to add a digital clock to the Customize Firefox Page. The size of flexible space would do or slightly smaller and let us change collor and 24 or 12 hour please. If that feature gets added i can finally get of chrome

I recently discovered that the shortcut control-shift-t will reopen recently closed windows as well as recently closed tabs, and that recently closed windows take priority over recently closed tabs. This isn't particularly convenient for how I tend to use multiple tabs and windows, and I would like to find a way to change the priority so that a recently closed tab would be reopened before a recently closed window. Alternatively, if there's a separate command that will only reopen recently closed tabs, that would be useful instead.

Hello folks,

I am writing to you because I am having a problem with the microphone in Firefox on Windows 11. The microphone works on all other apps on my computer, but it does not work in Firefox.

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

I checked if Firefox has permission to use my microphone. I restarted Firefox. I updated Firefox to the latest version. I disabled any extensions that I have installed in Firefox. I tried using a different microphone. I checked my computer's sound settings and volume mixer. I ran a virus scan on my computer. I reset Firefox to its default settings. I reinstalled Firefox. Tried downloading Firefox from Microsoft Store. Went through every article on the internet but none of the solutions worked in my case. After trying all of these steps, the microphone still does not work in Firefox.

I would appreciate it if you could help me troubleshoot this issue. My audio driver version is the latest that the manufacturer(Lenovo) could offer for my machine which is ideapad Creator 5-15IMH05 Laptop - Type 82D4, Windows update also does not offer any newer version than the one i am currently using.

Thank you for your time.

Lets say I have xyz.abc as a pinned page, now when I keep xyz.abc as homepage in settings, on reopening the browser it opens a new tab rather than the one that I have Pinned.

How do i make it so that it doesn't open a new page rather directs me to the pinned page when I open ze browser.

The following HTML feature is the subject of this question.

Firefox is supposed to use a 12- or 24-hour format for input depending on region settings or locale.

I think I should see a 24-hour input format. Firefox only ever presents me with 12-hour input format -- with AM/PM selectors. Chrome, by comparison, presents 24-hour input format, out of the box, as expected. Is this a localisation bug in Firefox, or am I holding it wrong?

I shall try to upload some screenshots, but in case that does not work, here is a text representation of my state.

I am on a Mac. The Mac is configured for en_AU. (I believe 24-hour clocks are used in the en_AU locale.) Just to be sure, the "Time format: 24-Hour Time" checkbox has been enabled in the Mac's Language & Region system preferences. The following command, entered at a shell, produces the desired output format.

% date +%c Sat 26 Aug 22:48:14 2023

All other applications on my computer honour this preference to the best of my knowledge.

I have the en-GB release of Firefox Nightly. Build ID is 20230825041349. Here are the relevant sections from about:support...

Application Settings Requested Locales ["en-GB"] Available Locales ["en-GB","en-US"] App Locales ["en-GB","en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-AU"] Default Locale "en-GB" Operating System System Locales ["en-AU"] Regional Preferences ["en-AU"]

intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales has been set to true in about:config.

Why do I still see 12-hour input formats in Firefox?

Thank you.

When I scoll over text to copy or delete, the text stays transparent, no color to show what's been highlighted--how can I change this so I see a color. In Chrome, it's blue. But I don't care as long as I can see what I highlighted-- it's just about driven me away from Firefox so hoping someone can answer-- thanks

can you just put a check box on the MANAGE YOUR EXTENSIONS MENU to turn on TOOL BAR extension short cuts for extensions. THIS IS WHERE THAT BELONGS NOT HIDDEN UNDER THE EXTENSION PUZZLE PIECE.
