Hello Firefox Developers,

No pressure for this item.

I would like to request that there be an option to censor or hide the Firefox user information in the Firefox UI and in the Settings section for privacy and security reasons, especially when doing online streams or making online guides.

At least an option to either make it "l.............@..." with an eye option beside it. Like what the password field behaviour is in online forms.

It would be nice if the option were available to the end-users.

Thank you so much.

Accessing search engines through through right click

Hi, I can't seem to find an extension for this.

I have several custom search engines that I can use via shortcuts on the search bar, but I'm looking for a way to select text on a website, click the right button on it and select one of those engines in order to search that text.

I think Firefox was able to do it, but I'm only finding extensions that don't use FF's custom engines, I have to add the engines to the extension itself, manually, all over again, and that's a pain to keep synced.

Am I missing something here? Thank you.

Moments ago I rebooted my computer after a long day of heavy use (it's old). After rebooting and opening my Firebox Browser, I noticed all my Bookmarks were gone. I created a Firefox Bookmarks Export file on another desktop computer using a thumb drive and plugged it into my current desktop computer, and imported the Bookmarks. Great. They all seem to be there again. But the entire appearance of all the websites I regularly use have changed. I use Google Calendar and all the colors are gone. On my other computer, all the different tasks I've created still retain their colors with white lettering, but on this latest version of Ubuntu machine after the reboot, all by tasks are plain white with Black lettering. I compared the settings for Appearance on my two different computers and they are exactly the same. I couldn't Login to X on this machine after doing so numerous times, and after I logged into Bluesky, the appearance was completely different. I don't know what happened. The two attached screen grabs show the difference between this computer and my other one which still shows the color combinations that I want back within Google Calendar. Any idea what went wrong? Also, I tried to click the checkbox below that says, "Email me when someone answers the thread," and I could not. It wouldn't accept the check mark.

Since the last update, I am unable to log into my American Express account using Firefox (I can log in using Chrome, but Firefiox is my default browser). After entering user name and password, the little spinng arrow goes around for 8-10 seconds and goes off again - it won't to progress to the next screen . Never any error messages, it just spins awhile and stops.

Firefox locks completely after about a minute. How to extract list of open tabs (and groups) and start over?

FF 145.0.2 (64 bit) canonical-002 - 1.0 running on Kubuntu 25.10 has suddenly started locking up completely after a minute or so with an "unresponsive". As I have just put in the crash reporter: "I haven't had problems with FF before but just possible that this relates to my growing problems with Thunderbird see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1551791. I putting a question in Mozill Support about trying to keep my tabs and perhaps groups before doing a complete reinstall." So my questions here are:

  • I am planning to to a complete clean reinstallation from snap but is there a better (more stable) installation?
  • either snap specific or generically: is there a way I can find the open tab list from the debris of this snap installation (and perhaps the groups but that's less important)?

TIA,

Chris
