Firefox Community Forum

i need to copy and paste text that's also a link, but firefox isn't letting me highlight it, I can do it in chrome, brave, & opera, it's not a mouse problem either, if I just right click on the page and select "highlight all" FF wont highlight it, is there a setting for this or a extension I can download? (in the picture the the rad text is also a link, I need to copy the number portion)

How can mouse hover be disabled? On some websites (e.g. gva.be) when you hover (unintentionally) over some link, then this link is opened as if you had clicked on it.

How can this be disabled? I searched in about:config for mouse hover but I couldn't find anything relevant. Or do I need an extension to disable this behaviour?

There's pics included that hopefully explains it, but essentially whenever i try to highlight a text and afterwards scroll down, the highlight bugs out. It seems to be happening only on powerpoint slides that have been converted to pdf. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration on firefox, but it didnt help.

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

Several years ago I left Firefox for Google Chrome primarily due to Firefox being unable to do these 2 things:

1) present a user-friendly UI that allows me to effectively interact with Firefox Profiles (e.g., John profile & Mary profile)

2) open the Bookmarks Library in a new tab (instead of a new window)

Google Chrome does both of the above nicely. I recently tried returning to Firefox but the above two items are still incomplete. Does anyone know if Mozilla has plans to fix/address the above two items in the near future?

I don't want to go to the trouble of switching back to Firefox if there is no time horizon for these items being addressed as I rely heavily on the use of profiles and bookmarks (which are burdensome to interact with when they are in a separate window).

Can we get a setting that disable the Quick Find feature or at least its keyboard shortcut.

It breaks keyboard shortcuts on multiple sites, as it is often used to select the search bar(Youtube, Github, ...)

I'm experiencing an issue with the drag and drop functionality in my browser that's significantly affecting my workflow. Previous behavior:

I could drag any selected text to any area of the browser window to open a new search tab I could lightly drag links anywhere to open them in new tabs

Current behavior:

Now I must drag content specifically to the tab bar at the top to open new tabs This extra precision required is frustrating and slowing down my browsing

I haven't intentionally changed any settings, and this change happened suddenly. This functionality was extremely useful for me as I frequently need to open multiple tabs while researching. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Most importantly, does anyone know how to restore the previous drag and drop behavior? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

''''Update 133.0.1 seems to have lost the ability to have the browser window resized to fit only a portion of the desktop (to work with multiple open apps on Windows 11). Thoughts?''''

Hello, I have a problem with Firefox desktop windows, When I'm trying to copy a text or word for pasting in my document or even translating, it doesn't let me select any part of the text The site I'm trying to copy is mainly link.springer.com ( The link is : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00423-024-03366-0 ) and the thing is I know copying isn't banned in that site because I can easily copy it in google chrome The version is 133.0 (aarch64) and there isn't any update for this Is there any solution for this?

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours lorsque j'accède à ma messagerie Orange, Firefox modifie systématiquement les @ en . ce qui ne me permet pas de réponde aux messages, de les transférer ou autre opération. Merci de bien vouloir examiner quelles sont les raisons de ces problèmes. Bien cordialement. Claude JAMONAC Mobile : [removed phone# from public]

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

How do you mess up the context menu this badly? None of the items work and its the same on every page. I am starting to wonder if Mozilla even tests the release before pushing it out.

I used to be able to drag a tab from one window to another. Has this facility been removed? The Move option lets me move the tab to Start or New window, but not an existing window as I would like.

For the Life of me, I cannot Figure-out how to drag-and-drop websites from the Address bar, to the Desktop on the Computer. I tried dragging the Padlock didn't work. I tried dragging the Shield didn't work. Tried even dragging the whole URL. and even made bookmarks with the Link just to try it.

What am I missing? Wracking my brain trying to Figure-out the Conundrum

Hello,

Suddenly some UI elements became color-inverted or almost completely black, such as the tab icons in the tab bar, the website icons on the New Tab page and some icons in the settings menu. Also, some websites appear to have this issue, but the Samsung website is the only one I found so far with this issue.

On the same day it happened I switched to an OLED HDR-capable monitor, so I assumed it would be related to HDR, but I played around with some settings and I'm not sure anymore.

What I tried: - hardware acceleration on and off - HDR completely on and off - default light theme and dark theme, no customs themes installed - all extensions disabled (I have no extensions that would influence graphics or colors anyways) - latest update already installed - nothing else changed in the Nvidia control panel as far as I remember

None of the above helped. Any advice on this is appreciated. Attaching some pictures with the issue. Using Windows 11.

Thank you!
