When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.

For the past few days hot links in Thunderbird do not open in Firefox. Selecting a link in an email opens or brings to the fore a copy of Firefox with the link address and the wait icon but nothing else happens. I have to close Firefox, copy the link location, Past and Go in Firefox, and then the linked page appears. This behavior happens even in Troubleshoot Mode, so it is not any plugin or customization. I am also running Mozilla VPN. With VPN disabled, hot links in Thunderbird open in Firefox as expected. Now you know where to look.

Also, when I tried to add Troubleshooting Information below, nothing appeared. When I selected to option to be shown what to do, this page was replaced with other which deleted all this text, and now I am entering it all in again, which is severely frustrating. On a page where the user has entered possibly a volume of information, there should not be any sloppy risk of deleting that information due to page mishandling. Open help or assistance information in a separate tab, please. Think ahead about this stuff. You are supposed to be web design experts. Instead your web site spits in my face just when I am asking for help. Think. Plus, I had to get the Troubleshoot information manually so that is not being as automatic as it appears to be , either. Getting help should ideally be a button click, not jumping through hoops.

I usually have a lot of pages open on Firefox and the display in the dock gets packed, if you will. I would like to see an option in the settings to turn the dock display off, just for your program, Firefox. It would be nice to toggle this option. I've searched for about an hour trying for an option and a solution. Thanks for your good works. I'm on an early Mac Mini 15.7.1


Take care. Have fun. //... Joe [edited email from public community support forum]

Firefox has simply....gone from my PC. I have been using it for years, moved from device to device and have lots of history, favourites, browsing history etc etc...and many passwords stored within it.

I was using it just last night, but today, following a windows update it's just disappeared! When I re-downloaded and signed in none of my settings or passwords have reappeared...this is a bit of a disaster for me, please help!

Menu Bar Auto-Unhide Behavior in Full Screen Mode

Is there away to prevent the auto-unhide of the menu bar in full screen mode when the cursor moves to the top of the screen? I have searched for answers to this and found some old posts about creating a userChrome.css file but I couldn't get it to work.

Here's my use case. I access a remote desktop through Citrix for work. I use a browser via Citrix Lite instead of Citrix Workspace because the desktop will dynamically adjust to the window size when I don't need it in full screen which Citrix Workspace will not do. However, the auto-unhide feature of menu bar when the browser is in full screen mode also causes the desktop to dynamically adjust when it drops down and again when disappears. This forces me pause when trying to work because it happens often since I'm using a a large monitor with multiple applications open with tool bars on the top rows. I know that I can not hide the menu and address bar but don't want to lose the extra screen real-estate. I would much rather have a keyboard shortcut to reveal the menu bar or some other option.
