I never want to see this content again and am considering switching browsers.

I don't want to see or think about ads, i don't want to know what getpocket is. I don't want chefs plate and their columbiahouse 2.0 bullshit product. It is absolute trash.

I do not want to see these things. Ever. Again.

If there is no way to remove these things from my browser its time to go back to chrome.

Thanks.

So today I wanted to try FF Containers, because I have service user to manage O365, my normal company user and my personal user.

Now I open make.powerapps.com in container dedicated to this site I log in with one of these users everything is ok, but during first sign-in I am not asked even for password for specified account, I just enter email and then I am redirected and signed in. I have disabled "Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts". When I want to access portal.azure.com in another container, I am automatically signed in with user from previous container dedicated to powerapps.

I especially logged out of all containers and removed all cookies from FF before submitting and it is still happening

Also checked Windows "Internet options", I do not have any of these sites in "Intranet sites" and Level for all zones regarding to User Authentication is "Prompt for user name and password" dunno know what is wrong.

There were changes made to how a search is performed. When searching the cursor moves into the address bar versus the center of the page where initiated. The below suggestion was made to resolve which works in regular view, however, it does not stick in a private window. Is there a solution for private view please?

Suggested solution in normal view does not work in private window

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

Ever since the update a couple of days ago my settings are so large that I cannot function in Windows. I am vision impaired, so I have Windows display set at 125 percent. This has never caused a problem with Firefox before. Please help!

I know this is not a big problem, but a couple weeks ago firefox updated the browser. one of things it did was changes colors to the top half of the page where the tool bars were. It defaulted to a nice blue which I liked and everything was fine. All of a sudden a few minutes ago it went to all white. I cant figure out how to change it back to where it was.

Using Firefox 109.0 (64-bit) and my Extension Button's changed to an inconvenient location, cannot be moved, and no longer goes directly to about:addons. Instead just gives me a useless list of extensions I have. Not sure why it's suddenly become an annoying, useless button.

My homepage is Google. When i open it on my desktop (win7) the cursor is automatically in the search bar on that webpage. As i want it to be. My number one function when opening firefox is to search google so that is where i want to start. NOT in the address bar ever.

On my laptop (upgraded to win10) it is in the address bar.

I installed the exact same profile from my desktop to laptop.

I have run it in troubleshoot mode and the issue went away. So i disabled all addons and custom themes but issue still persisted.

I turned off hardware acceleration, no change.

What else could troubleshooting be turning off?

Why does the exact profile work on desktop but not laptop ?

I have tried many recommendations to control the bookmark spacing in firefox 108.0.2. I prefer to have single spacing, which is much more convenient than the wider spacing which now exists. Although many "workarounds" exist, none work to change this problem in the latest version. Why is this problem so difficult to resolve? It worked before and I trusted that it would work again after updating from the last version where it did work. This change is very disappointing.


Thanks George

I looked through the treads below, but could not see where any rules block any changes from occurring.
