Hi,

I recently set a custom background image for the Firefox new tab page (and possibly the homepage), but now I’d like to remove or replace it.

I’ve already tried:

   Going to about:config and enabling the following:
       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.customWallpaper.enabled → true
       browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.ui.enabled → true
   Searching for a gear icon or any UI options on the new tab or homepage – but nothing appears.

I also checked about:preferences#home but there are no visible options to manage background images.

How can I remove or change the custom background image? I’d appreciate instructions, config paths, or a file location where I can delete the image manually.

Thank you! p.s. I'm stuck with a background image that makes my shortcuts unreadable and it's driving me crazy. 😅

All of a sudden the allow location permission window is popping up repeatably. I have the option turned off and every time I go to Amazon or Home Depot or any such place the window ops up requesting that location location tracing for the sites. I tried toggling the on/off for the option but it didn't stop it. Help!

Status bar not hiding in fullscreen video after updating to Firefox 138.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows

Hello,

I recently updated my Firefox browser to the latest version, 138.0.1 (64-bit), on Windows.

After the update, I noticed that when playing videos in fullscreen mode (for example, on YouTube or other video websites), the Windows taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen with the Start menu icon) does not hide automatically. This is affecting my fullscreen viewing experience.

Before updating to version 138.0.1, the Windows taskbar would hide correctly when entering fullscreen video.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with the Windows taskbar not hiding, or if there are any suggested solutions to help resolve this problem.

Thank you for your help!

"Permanent" Container behavior

I would be grateful for some information on container behavior, i.e. I created "permanent" (as opposed to temporary) containers for sites where I want that site's cookies & site data preserved in a container, so I can click "Clear Cookies/History" (or "Clear... when Firefox closes) and the items stored in PERMANENT containers are left alone, while all else is deleted. "Clear ...." doesn't appear to be respecting the permanent containers I have set up precisely to preserve these sites' cookies & data.

I'm not sure what the point of Permanent Containers is, if not to preserve those sites' data, for the sites' later use when you set Firefox to Clear Cookies and Site Data whenever Firefox Closes (or Clear Cookies & Site Data with one click). I expected it to respect data in Permanent containers, as exceptions. Else why not just use separate Temporary Containers for everything? Why bother with Permanent Containers if everything is going to be deleted when Firefox closes, whether it's marked "Permanent" or not? Is there a solution for this? Thanks, -AnneF

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.
