Firefox Support Forum

I really often need to copy/paste from a terminal opened in my browser. Because the shortcut for copying in a terminal is always Ctrl+Shift+C, it's a mess to have instead Firefox opening Inspector from devtools.

How can I disable this shortcut ?

I've tried to update some about:config settings but it doesn't seem to be helpful and old working correctives add-ons are not supported anymore.

I have been unable to see any linked in page for a while now. Clicking on a link from a message email opens a page which just displays LINKEDIN.

If I copy/paste the link into a private window I can get in, but not with a normal window. I've ran CCcleaner but nothing changes, cleaned everything!

the links work in other browsers in normal mode, why not firefox?

A few versions ago, Firefox (Mac) changed behavior when clicking on a link in an outside program. Specifically, if Firefox is not running and I click a link in Outlook, Firefox opens the clicked link in a tab but also opens my homepage in a second tab. Since I'm only interested in the clicked link at this time I don't want it to open my home page, just the clicked link. This problem is exacerbated by my.yahoo.com which causes a switch from the tab containing the clicked link to the homepage tab.

How do I get Firefox to only open the link that I clicked and not my homepage in addition? This was the normal behavior until a few months ago.

Thank you!

Hi

Little thing really but still slightly annoying. why cant i move the Extensions button? I personaly have no need for it on my browser and i really dont like it there! thats where my bookmarks button sits. I use Firefox because its the best and most customizable browser available, so i struggle to understand why this one button is uncustomizable. Please could you unlock the button so it can be places anywhere, like the rest the buttons of your awsome browser, or as in my case, just removed.

thanks guys Keep up the awsom work.

Ever since the last Firefox update on Feb 28, 2023, my open tabs are no longer being restored when I re-open Firefox after closing it down. After doing some searches on the issue, I checked my "Settings page, Privacy & Security panel, History section" and it still shows "Remember history". (This is on a laptop running Windows 10.) This is a huge inconvenience for me. Is this a bug or is there some way for me to fix it? I'm not a techie, so appreciate a response without too much jargon. Thank you!

My cat was sitting lap top with firefox open. It was open to Amazon. Now whenever I open amazon, I am stuck with huge print and the need to scroll to see even small parts of one page. I cannot figure out how to get it back to something near the default size. I have a relatively new Lenovo laptop.

bold text I need to save all of my bookmarks and history so I can add them back in after wiping and reinstalling Windows 10 and then reinstalling Firefox on my computer. How do I do that?

I have Windows 11 Home Laptop lately the battery is draining pretty fast. Then i got a notification saying Firefox is using an unusual amount of your battery in the background. It says Firefox is using 78% of the battery in the background this much drainage from one app can harm the battery. It's suggestion is to kill the background process of Firefox or uninstall it and use another browser.

I have tried to figure out how to stop it but can't I have found it before in msconfig but its not there. I looked in the start-up process it is not there. I looked in the running apps i found it but it will not let me kill its process it tells me Firefox is a necessary Windows operating system application. I know that is not true. I have read where other people are having this same issue that started with Firefox 109 .

My Firefox is running 110.0.1 I need to get this to stop running in the background. can anyone please help me figure this out?

Thank You

I deleted a bunch of old credit cards (all except one)and tried adding a new one, but Firefox (for Windows) won't let me save a new credit card after I enter it. The Save button dims a sec to show the computer acknowledges it and no error statements pop up. FWIW The authentication security setting is off. Please help.

Since the last update Firefox is slow, it hangs - gives the stupid error code 'this is embarrassing', if you walk away from the terminal to do other work and come back the window freezes, mouse moves everywhere but clicking does nothing. This is more than frustrating because have to re open all the windows waiting. and for you guys information the only thing running is adblock as far as an extension is concerned. Not only that. if I run ookla speed test through this version of the browser its no where near the speed I pay for, upload is near 789 and download 10. If I keep Firefox running and open an Edge page and run the same speed test from edge I get 805 and 39.88

What gives, why the heck are you so much slower and why are your updates so often and then causing the thing to hang... ? I am frustrated to the point of now switching out of Firefox, remember Netscape? well you all are fast meeting the same goals . unreliable and slow.

Really enjoy how when I try to go into an old email account, Firefox can ask me if i want save the new password, when I'm trying to guess, BUT won't let me know what the password is!

Shouldn't you have bought me dinner first, BEFORE treating me like that?

Hi, I had firefox installed on my Laptop and I also had Norton anti virus running in the background. Norton asked me to renew but I thought it was a wasted of money. I unistalled Norton but it has taked firefox and my my passwords and bookmarks with it ?

Hi,

The default storage folder (alone) in my Firefox portable install is 1.29 GB and still growing. I know this is where website store data, and addons sometimes use this folder as well.

The folder grows so fast it is rendering my Firefox install almost unusable every three or four months. Is there any way to limit the size of this folder?

Regarding addons in that folder, most are very small (kilobytes range), but one rogue addon is 370 MB in size and still growing. It's folder in default>storage is "moz-extension+++d215ed11-a9b2-4927-bd1f-9755184bbe53"

How can I find out which addon this folder belongs to so I can remove the addon (or try and limit how much storage space it uses)?

Thanks.

I tried to optimize settings for these aging eyes, and now I have messed up the pages such that I can't read some lines. I am not a computer person, and some terminology I don't understand. Specifically, how do I set the colors, etc. so that I can read the items? Is there a default button to set everything back to normal? Thank you, [email removed from public]
