When I go to a website that can push notifications, next to the url there's this animation that you can click to allow the notifications. I want to turn off this animation. This question has been asked before and the answer was: "Go to about:config and set dom.webnotifications.enabled = false". I did this, but I still have the animation. What should i do?

I am receiving hundreds of spam emails from gmail.com email addresses and they all say to: and list at least 20 or more googlegroups.com groups. SO it seems they are using my yahoo email to send all these google groups a message to join some dating site. Most all of them go to spam or trash but I want to know if I can block them completely by blocking or using a filter that can block words, or domains like @googlegroups.com. SEE BELOW It only shows my email in the raw message. Your filters only allow me to send them to the trash folder when I would rather block them 100% I have no idea why I am receiving them and not a member of googlegroups and they are using my email to send these through. I can block each gmail but they change every time. I do not know if there is a actual from email I could block that is hid in the raw message but I doubt it since they change the from email.

I actually posted this same question 18 months ago. I DID manage to solve it, but I cannot remember how, and since then I have changed computer. I have google set as my home page, and it automatically opens on every new tab, which is what I wanted. The problem is that when I open a new tab, the cursor is automatically positioned in the address bar, whereas I want to insert my search terms in the seach box in the middle of the page. How can I stop search terms being written in the address bar? I think I've set just about every possible search and browser option to false in about:config. Florio

Firefox 108.0.1

  Just setting up new LG Gram laptop,

I have only a dumb flip phone, no email on that, no qr code reader. traveling with laptop, only on line email to get verification code. You state sms is not secure for receiving security code. Yet, many other sites do use a sms code to confirm login.

The Update to 108.0.1 succeeded, but the partial process for "sync" still shows as partway. Must've clicked that item by mistake, and then killed it after seeing the scope--since I don't use a smartphone., etc., anyway!

We should be cautioned that this 108.0.1 upgrade is a complicated one. At midnight I just wanted to do a SIMPLE update (release notes listed just one item), shut it off and hit the sack --not be swamped with all the myriad new choices and features to learm! --as I now see.

Since the last Firefox update to 108.01, or that is when I first noticed this problem. When I have many tabs open right to the end of the tab bar the new tab + disappears off the screen. The more tabs I open it does correctly automatically reduce the width of the tabs but pushes the + tab off to the right, this never use to happen before it always kept the new tab + in view.

I have Gyazo installed. To take printscreens it uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands

Since Mozilla Firefox also uses "ctrl+shift+..." commands it happens very oftenly that the console (default F12) opens -> instead of performing my intented printscreen.

==> HOW DO I DISABLE the FIREFOX CTRL+SHIFT+... COMMANDS, so that the console doesn't open when I use my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands?

Please don't suggest I change my Gyazo ctrl+shift+... commands, since they work in all other situations perfectly - just not in the browser: Printscreen https://gyazo.com/ea50e6daff95a79ff15d0b1431bd0466

Every time I want to reload this file to change or debug something, I have to close all my browers windows at once, reopen FireFox, and restore my previous session just to save my tabs. It's growing so exhausting that it's making me want to switch browsers. Is there any way around this?

And if you want more information about modifying FireFox policies, here are two links: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#windows-gpo-61

Long story short...I lost my hard drive, reinstalled windows....I never used a firefox login on this laptop. I do have a backup of all my data/appfiles --- actually i cloned the failed drive. So I have this directory in my backups:

D:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\810aqnu7.default-release-1636153011215\bookmarkbackups. There are a bunch of JSON versions of bookmarkfiles there stored....how can i get my bookmarks back with these files?

where is the "current bookmark files" stored? which directory?

thanks in advance.

Dear all,

recently I picked up Mozilla again and saw some weird website formatting for some sites. It sometimes only affect certain areas (see attached picture Bad Formatting Amazon, where one part got squished and dragged down very much) and sometimes it affects the whole website (please refer to the other two pictures, one showing the proper formatting and the other one a formatting, which occurs over time, when leaving the website open)

Can I change any settings to combat this? Looking forward to your input!

Thank you and best regards, David

Suddenly today my browser had switched any current tab to the bottom of my window, but it also only lets me see one at a time..which means I can't see multiple tabs open unless I close the current one. My tab bar is gone entirely and was up-top as it's always been, just under the URL box.

I didn't hit any key combos that I know of that would cause this, and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem when I search for a solution. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? It's very odd and annoying, I've never had it happen before now..

I took a screen-shot of the problem, showing what happens when I open a site or any tab:

Thank you very much for taking a look and any help with this strange issue,

-Chris

When I set up my computer, I have been using chrome for my work email and systems, and firefox for my personal email, for years now. This year I have found repeatedly that firefox will claim to have lost internet connection (ON A HARDWIRED COMPUTER) repeatedly during the day. And sometimes I will open a new tab to do a google search--and get a blank tab. Chrome works like a charm. No problems, ever. I have had IT work on this problem with me 5 times this fall (I'm in biological science). We have updated all the software and drivers, checked the computer's memory, checked the computer's upload and download speed, updated the docking station and replaced the wires. And Chrome works fine all the while. I think you have a problem, folks. I might have to ditch you.

Folks, my basic settings are "always use private browsing mode". I occasionally run into sites that don't allow this. I see there is the keystroke support for the ability to open a new tab in private mode. Can you develop one to open a tab in non private mode ?? it's a major pain to have to change the main private browsing mode setting to off, use the site that demands it off, then change it back afterwards.

Thanks,

  Tony

Site only loads in 'safe' mode. Will not load otherwise - how can I find error?

Dear Firefox,

I am a college student working in an office. I have a work computer, and a home computer and would like for my browsing history, bookmarks, and customization to remain separate between the two computers. It appears that Firefox's profiles is intended to do this, but it keeps freaking out on me. On my home computer I have a default profile called Connor Home with its own settings, and on my work computer I have a default profile called Connor Work with its own settings. However, it appears that whenever I use Firefox on my work computer, it overwrites all the settings from my Connor Work profile onto my Connor Home profile, as when I return home, all of my home settings and bookmarks have been replaced with my work settings and bookmarks. Upon checking, I see that I am still in my Connor Home on my home computer, and I am still in Connor Work on my work computer. Why does changing the settings in one of my profiles seem to overwrite my other profile? Please help.
