When I enter a search string for both yahoo or google (but not as yet duckduckgo) somewhere the string is "edited" before it is sent and all extended search characters deleted so "field1 field2" and "field1 -field2" return identical results. Some of the editing can be seen when the text is transferred from the search window to the address window. for example my try at ' "-"field2' was edited to '- field2' with a space between '-' and "field2". I am running Linux Mint and have done a Firefox update with no effect. Note that this not how it used to behave.

I am wanting to maximize my privacy and security on Firefox. I am using aliases to do so. However, when viewing the account settings and the connected services section, I saw that Firefox was connected to "[full legal name]'s Firefox on [laptop name]." I did not supply Firefox with my real name, and I suspect that Firefox is simply reading the name of the account I used to log into my laptop. However, changing the name of the device account is not easy as it is linked to my Microsoft account, but even after successfully doing so using the command center, the connected services still reads my real name. How do I change this?

I have a component that depends on browser events for online/offline events to let know the user when he is disconnected from the activity.

I was checking on firefox, and for some reason Im not able to see the event been emitted when disabling the network (I did test it, turn it the wifi on/off).

in the image , there is side by side with chrome and firefox, so I know my event listener works, but doesnt seems like firefox is sending the events,

I have a js using same examples from the documentation,

has someone else notice this? , or is some sort of settings in firefox?, according to the documentation it should be supported by default,

my poc code->

<title>Online Offline</title> <script type="text/javascript"> console.log(" ******** Online Offline in real time **********"); const handlerOnline = async () => { console.log("online handler :: ", new Date().toISOString()); }; const handlerOffline = async () => { console.log("offline handler :: ", new Date().toISOString()); }; window.addEventListener("online", () => handlerOnline(), false); window.addEventListener("offline", () => handlerOffline(), false); window.document.addEventListener("online", () => handlerOnline(), false); window.document.addEventListener("offline", () => handlerOffline(), false); window.onoffline = (event) => { console.log("1:: The network connection has been lost."); }; window.ononline = (event) => { console.log("A:: online"); }; window.addEventListener("offline", (event) => { console.log("2:: The network connection has been lost."); }, false, true); window.addEventListener("online", (event) => { console.log("B:: online"); }, false, true); window.addEventListener("offline", (event) => { console.log("3:: The network connection has been lost."); }); </script>

Dear Forum,

The AARP website hasn't let me log in for a few weeks. It gives the following message, and I don't know how to fix it. I looked in Firefox preferences, and AARP has all of its cookies listed. I'm not a bot, moving too quickly. I couldn't figure out whether Firefox allowed Javascript. Here is the message (but I deleted my IP and Proxy IP):

There are some websites that modifying the history and when I wish to go back, I am being taken back directly to home page, or worse in some others, being looped back into the current url again.

In the second one, I know the website adding a duplicate url to the history so if I right click and select the 3rd one I can get out of the loop but it's just rather quite annoying.

Is it possible to prevent these websites meddling with my browsing history? (without disabling the javascript)

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi.

Similar to this question: https://support.mozilla.org/ln/questions/1291938

I would like to know how to customize "autoconfig.js" or "firefox.cfg" so that the home page is focused instead of the address bar when I open Firefox.

I the linked question, the following solutions works fine for focus content on New Tab:

    Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
      window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
      window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
    }, "browser-open-newtab-start");
  } catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); }

It works fine, but I can't make it work for the Homage page when it's configured to open a local file.

I tried to bind the "window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();" action on the "browser-open-homepage-start" event but it has not effect.

Thanks.

Despite reading support guides, Searches, nothing works. In the Firefox settings - make default provides pop up that does not action change when Firefox is selected. The reason for pursuing this ? clicking hyperlinks opens Safari on my iMac and not Firefox.

Safari is very slow to open, freezes anything else I'm doing and I simply want the links to open in Firefox. Are there any actual solutions that work? cheers

There used to be Bookmarks & History in the top left corner of my home screen. They've vanished and I want them back, especially Bookmarks. The Bookmark line at the top and Other bookmarks still exist but they don't have the really important bookmarks.

THIS ADVICE DOESN'T WORK

Type about:profiles into the address bar and press the Enter key. This will open the About Profiles page, where you can view, create and manage your Firefox profiles.

How do you remove a GMAIL account from the list?

I let someone check there email and now every time I go to GMAIL it is the default. I have seen all the resolutions for this problem and they don't work! Usually they point to a settings or option that does not exist.

I am using Windows 11 with Firefox version 121.0.1 (64 bit)

This is pretty stupid that it is this difficult to remove someone else's account from your system
