What's the deal with Firefox not allowing people to be able to use Chrome extensions like some other browsers do? I have a password manager that has a Chrome extension, but Firefox does NOT have an extension for it.

Whenever i start typing a "g" in the address bar, Google is recommended first. I would prefer for it to be something i commonly search for starting with g, but I can't seem to remove it. Using the usual shift+del doesn't remove it for some reason.

Thanks!

I've gone down a rabbit hole of authentication in regards to Sync with Firefox. I'm wondering if I can regenerate a recovery key by removing the recovery key from my account and then choosing to re-enable a recovery key on my account? I do have the password for my primary email on my account, but I can't find the recovery key value for it.

I also have a secondary email on my account that I don't have a password for, and need to reset a password for it, but one problem at a time...

Running FF 107.0.1 on Mac 10.15.7 and there is unexpected padding around each website I visit. I've disabled all browser extensions. I'm using the default theme. I've tried restarting Firefox. I've tried restarting the computer but the issues seems to persist. I do not see the same rendering behavior when loading these websites on Google Chrome. I'm including screenshots of what I'm seeing.

Hello,

I cannot save my credit card number in Firefox, in Settings I don't even have the option to save them and the directions in the Firefox help don't work. #2 below there is no Forms and Autofill section in the settings let alone a credit card option.

  1. Click the menu button Button and select Settings.
  2. Click the Privacy & Security panel and scroll down to the Forms and Autofill section.
  3. Click the checkbox next to Autofill credit cards to turn it on, or uncheck the box to turn it off.

Any help to what's going on would be great.

Firefox 107 (64-bit) on Windows 11

Thanks, Luke

I am using Firefox 107 and have seen this issue with previous versions. My laptop is a MSI GS76 Stealth with the core i9 11900H / UHD graphcs, and a RTX3070 8g GDDR6 which can be run in mshybrid mode. When in mshybrid mode and Firefox hardware acceleration enabled, I have seen issues where scrolling in Facebook causes resets of the feed and / or the screen will became 'fuzzy' like the refresh rate is off. If i close the lid and open, the screen resets back to normal. Once I switch to full fledged RTX3070 support or disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox the problem stops. I have not noticed this issue with Microsoft edge or Google chrome. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

I have the notification setting set to block all requests for website notifications.

https://www.bonsecours.com/ still managed to present such a notification (see the attached images)

NOTE: I recently had to reset FF due to the installation being corrupted during the install of an upgrade. I believe I have restored most of my settings on topics like access to microphones, push-notification requests, and the like, but I may have missed something relative to this. (When I first shut down all requests for push notifications, I believe it was still required to do so via about:config.)

A msg. suddenly appeared at the top of my ff general settings page saying "your organization is managing your browser". Upon clicking on it it appears that Chrome has taken over most of my ff settings and disabled some of them. I have NO organization; I am retired and have a personal computer that only I use for personal things. I have run numerous anti malware programs that have found nothing. I have restored the computer to a much earlier time. I chose Firefox, NOT Chrome. Please help me get rid of this. And please don't assume I have knowledge as I am old and not very computer literate so if you could use simple terms I can understand that would be much appreciated. If no help, what can I do next to get some. Thank you I am using Windows 7 home premium on an older Dell business machine.
