Is there a way to add "Search [search engine] for [highlighted text] in new container tab" option to the right click menu?

I would like to be able to highlight texts in one container and search for them in another container (or no container) from the right click menu. Is there a way to add this functionality?

Some additional points: i) Currently, if I highlight a text and right click and search Google for it, the new tab opens in the same container (or no container). I don't want to remove this option, I just want to add the option to be able to do this search in any container I have available. ii) Functionality I want is very similar to how it works when you highlight links, where you have option to open in new tab or open in new container tab you choose. iii) I don't want to assign all my searches to a specific container by forcing "always open [domain] in [container]". For example, I already have a Google container, I do not want searches to go to that container by default, I want to be able to choose where they go. Assigning all Google links to a container makes it hard for me to segregate searches from containers where I use other Google services. iv) The way I do this currently is by highlighting text and then opening a new tab in a container and then searching separately, which is inconvenient. v) If this feature doesn't exist, is it possible to request this feature? How would one go about doing that?

Thank you very much for any help. This is something that's been bugging me a bit lately.

On new window (`Ctrl-N`) I want the focus to be on the url bar, not the homepage. I believe this is the default behavior if no homepage is set, but I want to set this behavior independent of the homepage setting.

Is there a setting for this?

Just recently I realized that the master password does not apply to credit card information. Firefox on Mac and Windows, if a login password exists, allows us to require authentication to autofill, view or edit saved credit cards. Firefox on Linux doesn't allow this authentication. So, I'm guessing that the credit card information is stored in Linux in an insecure manner. This is true? Another question about Mac and Windows. Does requiring authentication for credit card processes mean that the card information is encrypted on disk? Or does the password only protect information from unauthorized viewing, and the cards are stored on disks in text form?

Hey,

I'm looking for a shortcut/hotkey to focus the page.

The best I found is "Move to Next Frame", which is F6. When having the URL bar as focus, and no bookmark bar open, this will focus the page.

I have two questions here: - Is there a better way to focus the page? - If not, how can I remap F6 to a more usable hotkey?

I have found some threads with workaround like tabbing 2-3 times until the page is in focus. I'm looking for a single shortcut, having to press a key multiple times kinda defeats the purpose of a shortcut.

I have found information on how to remap hotkeys with either extensions or autoconfig, but I can't find which key I have to change. Extensions don't seem to include this key.

For autoconfig, I looked through view-source:chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml and the Browser Toolbox to find this shortcut, but with no success. Maybe I looked at the wrong spot, maybe not all shortcuts are listed there?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I tried to print something I would get a "Preparing Preview" hang.

Other support answers, suggested 1. deleting the default printer 2. delete some custom settings in about:config

Both solutions did not work for me.

In my case it turned out the firewall was the issue:

During the Preparing Preview, firefox tries to connect to port 80 then port 631.

In my case, the firewall was dropping everything except RELATED/ESTABLISHED.

Opening port 631 for the printer did not help either, because firefox was trying port 80 first. Since all requests were silently dropped (default IPtable policy), firefox waited forever for an answer.

Now with the following rules, it worked. [0:0] -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

These rules needs to be on IPV4 and IPV6 firewalls.

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.

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.

Recently upgraded to a new laptop, Thinkpad X1 Carbon 11th gen. Running a Wayland-based WM. OpenGL is working fine everywhere except Firefox. Works fine in Chrome, Blender, glxgears, Steam games. Firefox 121 gives the following error:

SHORT STORY:

I have been able to find extension behind errors shown in dev. console (F12 key) like CSP ones (mouse hover over the link near the error on dev. console (F12 key), Console tab, to see moz-extension://somestring and find first characters of the string at page about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox) But is there any better/easier way to find out web page issue causing extension?

LONG STORY:

Website fails to load (but in a Private window loads OK). F12 key in normal window, Console tab, shows:

SyntaxError: redeclaration of let settings

clicking it, it further show:

abc123-def456-...-...-....:1:1

   <anonymous> blob:moz-extension://8834...

inject resource://gre/modules/ExtensionContent.sys.mjs:581

   AsyncFunctionNext self-hosted:852


when i search for mentioned 8834 (first letters of a long string) at about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox (i get there clicking settings wheel at about:addons and "Debug addons".) then i find Chameleon extension.

So I try to pause extension in its menu, that not helped, but disabling whole extension in about:addons removed errors, yet page still does not load. 4 remaining CSP errors like:

Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“script-src”). contentScript.js:160:48951 ...

when I mouse hover over the hyperlink "contentScript.js:160:48951" the browser status bar shows extension address and when i memorize first letters of the address and search it at mentioned about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox tab, i find: Phantom (cryptocurrency wallet) Metamask (cryptocurrency wallet) Phantom (cryptocurrency wallet) Violentmonkey (provides userscripts support for browsers - I am using it only for https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage which is disabled currently)

I have tried to didable all these extensions causing removal of a CSP errors, yet page still does not load in normal browsing window (in private does). Normal browsing window shows only one warning/error:

Source map error: Error: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/debugger/source_map_errors/ Resource URL: moz-extension://extension address here/browser-polyfill.min.js Source Map URL: browser-polyfill.min.js.map

when i search for the extension address first letters at mentioned page about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox i find "Textarea Cache", disabling it does not make page load.

After re-enabling disabled extensions and restarting Firefox, page started loading. I suspect (likely wrong) that the python application which is serving local web page in question had exhausted connection limit for the normal browser window/process, but the private browser window process was OK.

What i can do better to discover the causing extension or other cause of failed loading page?

On some websites, the videos that are being displayed come with the loop attribute associated with it. Firefox conveniently adds an option in the right-click menu which in entitled "loop", where you can enable/disable the video from looping. Here's an example of what it looks like: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-01-06-07-22-59-911af7.png

However, some websites have auto-looping by default, meaning that if I want to see several videos without auto-looping, I would have to disable it on every video I see, which becomes very (very!) cumbersome.

Surprisingly I haven't found a way to make sure that this checkbox is disabled by default, i.e. that all videos play without auto-loop enabled. This leads me to my questions: Is there a way to consistently disable auto-loop across websites on FireFox?
