I constantly get a Mozilla Firefox Privacy Notice when I load Firefox
Is there a way to turn this off? I recently reloaded Firefox. I searched all settings I could think of.

I accidentally pressed a lot of keys on my keyboard and for some reason the default colors of Firefox have changed. I found out that by using Ctrl+Alt+D that I can switch the colors back to normal or to the colors that now appear automatically, but this only works for one tab. If I open a new tab, it shows the weird colors (see images below). I tried looking up specific shortcuts for Firefox considering the shortcut mentioned before (Ctrl+Alt+D) only works on Firefox. But I can't find any shortcut tied to that combination. I'm unsure what to do and how to fix this.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to fix this.

Locking this thread, please continue here: [/questions/1446987]
A bit desperate here. Windows crashed with no chance of repairing the installation. Hard drive And all files on it are accessible. Firefox had thousands of bookmarks for a very important project.
There seems to be no Firefox profile on the drive. Searched in hidden folders as well. Certainly not where it’s supposed to be: …\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Search for all files on the drive, but there seems to be no SQLITE or JSON files related to Firefox.
Not even a folder anywhere in the drive called Mozilla or Firefox or Profiles or Profile (at least not in relation to Firefox).
There’s no file called places.sqlite or bookmarkbackups anywhere on the drive.
The drive itself seems to be in a good condition and all other files are there and accessible. The file system doesn’t seem to be corrupt And man thousands of bookmarks were there before windows crashed.
Also checked places in \Roaming\ Just in case, as sometimes it could be found there for some installations.
Nothing found anywhere so far. Seems like running out of options.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much everybody for your time and attention.

Hi,
There many extensions such as:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search-on-imdb-context-menu/ that say when trying to install:
Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt.
I am using Firefox Developper Edition, with extensions.langpacks.signatures.required set to false.
This addon, after download, installs fine as a temporary addon.
How can I install it permanently?
Thanks.

Hi, i just got a new laptop (Asus Zephryus G16, 2560 x 1600 screen) and after installing Firefox there is a thin white border to the left of the screen when running in fit screen. This problem is not present when in a windowed mode or in F11 full screen.
I tried updating the Intel Arc drivers but this did not fix the problem. Changing to compatibility mode also did not fix te problem.
PS: in the uploaded screenshots it is quite dificult to see the white line(because the background is also white), but when the image is viewed in a new tab it is visible.
Thanks

The story is when I accidentally clicked on a sick video, YouTube start to recommend me similar sick videos.
So my question is how does YouTube get my identity?
I'm not logged in. my profile is actually a snapshot, so when I restart Firefox, it go back to the snapshot. I even restarted my ISP router to get a new IP address. This did not work.
Only when I create a new profile with "firefox -P" does YouTube start to see me as a new person.
So how does YouTube identify my Firefox profile? I don't think it's in the https request headers. Weird.

When trying to install any extensions on either the Mozilla Addons website or directly via the Extension settings, it fails to do so.
I've attached a screenshot of the Mozilla Addons website when it fails to install the extension. On some other addons that I've attempted in the past, it just shows the throbber forever.
I have checked the Multiprocess Browser Console and it says that it fails to move the file because it's locked (NS_ERROR_FILE_IS_LOCKED). I have also attached a screenshot of that.

Hello, I just got a new laptop with windows 11. I just did the latest update to Firefox. Everything is a little large but an internet search addresses these: BUT....

Hi, Before Firefox's Version 125.0.1 (64-bit) latest update I could download any file from my safe office environment, behind firewalls, VPN, ... Now despite of unchecking the "Block dangerous downloads" I'm still unable to download files. I have Windows 10 on my laptop.
Here are the steps: Click on a file, Save "File not downloaded. Potential security risk." Click on the message - Allow download The result is a file with content "HTTP Status 405 – Method Not Allowed".
Please help me to work the downloading again. I am aware of the safety but I want to switch off this feature.
Thanks in advance for help, Tibor

Hi,
Firefox Developer Edition 126.0b7 (64-bit) shows a perpetual "Loading" screen when trying to access my internal Logitec Media Server at 127.0.0.1:9001.
Other browsers like Waterfox Classic have no trouble, so LMS is working fine.
I tried cleaning the cookies, disabling the firewall (Windows 10), that did not help/
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.

When attempting to load a number of different web pages such as Quickbooks Online Apps, the page displays "Loading Apps..." with a spinning wheel, but never redirects to the Apps page; the site hangs forever. On other browsers there are no issues; it eventually switches to the correct page. In Firefox Browser I have tried adding exceptions in Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Manage Exceptions. No change. Thoughts?
