Firefox Support Forum

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?

WHEN DELETING OR REMOVING SEARCH OPTION IN SEARCH IT REMOVE BUT WHEN I RESTART FIREFOX THEY ARE ALL BACK HOW DO I MAKE MY CHOICE PERMINATE. 2 I WANT TO REMOVE MY RESPONSE IN SEARCH BEING MICROSOFT BING AND HAVE THE GOOGLE RESPONSE

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 )

hello firefox heroes,

I am looking for a way to prevent disabling an addon.

The addon is secondary, but for the sake of completeness: it's about the web blocker LeechBlock.

It was intended as an alternative to the web blocker ColdTurkey, but unlike ColdTurkey, which does not work for Linux systems, there is no password protection to prevent disabling and/or uninstalling the addon. Thus, it is quite easy to get distracted even though you don't really want to.

does anyone know a solution?

Hello,

Is there a way to get specific popups to automatically move to a specific display/screen either based on a URL fragment (RegEx?) or a popup Title?

Thank You

Firefox provides the wonderful accessibility setting to override any website's css with custom colors and fonts, but this breaks some websites. I was wondering if there was any way (either by default, an add-on, or css-hack) to set custom colors and fonts per-website? Currently the only way to do this is to manually turn the settings off when you want to browse a website that it breaks - it would be very useful to have a website whitelist. At the very least it would be useful to have an "accessibility" button in the toolbar that turns on and off css overrides.

Thanks

Greetings:

I want to have Dark Mode on everything. Thus also, yes, Firefox.

This site, for instance, is "Light Mode", which is addressed by someone else. The response was: "Hi Dennis, this support site does not have a dark mode. Sorry. Add-ons are not allowed to inject scripts into certain Mozilla sites because this would give them elevated privileges to access certain internal information hidden from normal websites and add-ons. So let's focus on other sites, since I assume you don't really use this one very often."

This support has no dark mode? UNFORGIVABLE! I mean, seriously: You offer in Firefox a "Dark Mode" which hardly works, seeing most websites coming up "Light Mode". Then NOT allowing a script which would make this side become Dark Mode, is not unforgivable ... it is downright wrong! I mean, why am I not allowed to see this site in Dark Mode, as this bright white is hurting my sight? This is darn user unfriendly, and breaches our customisation rights.

It is not that we turn it into an illegal style, like some porn style for instance. We just want it DARK. How wrong can that be?

More, what is the logic in offering it, but then to deprive us in this by you (Mozilla, not the users) revoking Dark Mode TOTALLY. EITHER you (Mozilla) gives us Dark Mode, and TOTALLY, EVERYWHERE, or remove it. Since this dualistic mindset, having severe Asperger's and ADHD, is something in which my brain conflicts. It is either All, or nothing. Not this half baked cookie you give us. Contradictions are a bad thing for us, we need clarity, and this ... just ain't clear. Is it yes or no? Can't be both.

Please make up your mind?

To the users responding, I thank you for the help you offer. Sadly, you often encounter issues that are not in your control, such as this one. Maybe we all should make a stand together, and ask Mozilla to het their heads out of the sand, for a second, to address the issues you users can't fix? Merely thinking out loud.

Is there a way to ENFORCE Dark Mode as setting to all websites, please? Tried several addons, but those all were equally half baked (not really, the damn website owners refuse the option of Dark Mode, for whatever reason, and like here, this light-blasting menace of a site which gives me a spectacular migraine, block addons from functioning. It had come so far, we are not even masters any more of our own damn health!!!

So, if you have a good alternative (I tried Dark Reader, Dark Mode, BlackOut and a few others, none truly seem to black all sites out ...)?

Thank you. Ben

Hello everyone, yesterday I was half asleep and I pressed whatever key combination and now my Google looks like this (see the attachment)

Does anyone know how to have the 'all images news etc' looking horizontal/normal again? I cannot figure it out in any way

I'm not sure how to interpret the message on the extensions here but needles to say Xdebug helper is not setting the proper headers.

What is this message and how to solve it?

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

Since one of the last updates firefox Download Setting seems not work properly...

Into Settings > Files and Applications > Downlods > Save files to option is ALWAYS on, even when "Aways ask you where to save files" option box is checked. When I open a PDF in view mode with Firefox, it automatically download it to the location described into "Save Files to"..in my case Desktop. It seems that the "Save Files to" option doesn't gray out when "Always ask..." option box is checked.

Do you have any idea why I can't chose just one of the two options?

Thanks for you help...

Alex

P.S. Attached screenshot...

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.

Hello, "How to stop the search from jumping to the address bar when typing on Firefox Home" was closed, but not resolved. I use DuckDuckGo as my home page and new tab page. It is annoying to have to click on the search field that I want to use. Using the address bar puts a slight strain on my neck.

One excuse from SeanaMuigean in the aforementioned article (1334131) is that all of the other search engines are doing it. My guess is that they do this because it allows the browser to track one's searches. If Firefox is doing this it seems like a very large issue.

I have set awesomebar to False and that seemed to work for a while but no longer. (Not so awesome to me)

Please make it so that a new tab makes the cursor jump to the expected field.

Thank you, Rod Carroll

Firefox up-grades always reset my preferences settings presumably to a Firefox default condition. I then have to reset them back to where I want them. Can I stop this happening?
