running windows 11 on pc, all up to date and current ver. of ff.

I do genealogy research and wonder why firefox won't work as Chrome? I'm trying to copy 1850 census record to Excel spreadsheet for research purposes. Seems this can only be done in Chrome. Firefox can you do this as well? I've not been able to do it. PS not really fond of Chrome but have to use it.  Any suggestions?  Thank you, Linda

So I noticed that for websites without CSS files or some websites seem to have Firefox's dark color scheme automatically applied to them. I do like websites auto-syncing with my theme, but I don't want Firefox to force the color scheme either.

My laptop doesn't have this weird side effect so I don't know if it's a feature I enabled or somehting.

How to change time format for calendar and mailbox entries from 24hr back to 12hr

I am running TB 128.7.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10. Last month(?) the time format for calendar entries changed from 12hr to 24hr. Then I saw that it also changed the time format in mailbox entries. I wanted to go back to 12 hr.

After a lot of searching, I FOUND A FIX posted in this Linux forum:

 https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=358828

The time format is specified in a TB preference, intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short using the Config Editor.

Go to Tools - Settings - General.

Press the Config Editor button - it is at the bottom of the General section, on the right.

In the screen that comes up, enter the preference name:

 intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short

It shows the current value. On my system it was HH:mm.

On the right side, press the pencil icon to change the value per below.

When done, press the Check box.

THE NEW VALUE WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL YOU EXIT AND RESTART TB.

The time format is a single stream in 4 parts:

  hour - separator - minute - meridian

Note: No dashes or spaces between the parts.

Part 1 - H is 24hr HH is 24hr with leading 0

             h is 12hr   hh is 12hr with leading 0

Part 2 - separator character. Typically  : Part 3 - mm is 2 digit minute Part 4 - bb displays AM/PM/noon. If blank, nothing displayed.

I use h:mmbb for 12 hr format with no leading 0, and meridian.

8:05AM, 12:00noon, 10:14PM

I believe this will work for all versions on all platforms.

Any new setting I could use to get

Hello community,

i would like to ask about how to deploy security.pki.certificate_transparency.disable_for_hosts globally for users? With version 135 a lot of production webapps stopped working and as of now , we have to do manual modification in about:config. Our company has over 300k users , so the possible disruption might arise very quickly and there will be significant loses in production enviroment.

Is there a way how to deploy this specific setting via GPO/SCCM ?

Thank you
