Hello,

In summary, I am a total beginner and just need help making the right-click menu appear properly on sites and such like it used to before I screwed up some random setting.

If that's not doable, then could I get some help to try and see if I can restore a backup of older FireFox settings that predate my messing up the settings or something?

Basically, I was exploring various settings in-browser in FireFox and at some point somehow changed something that suddenly prevented the right-click menu from appearing when I right-click on anything.

I also was changing things in the settings of an extension called "Sideberry" that I use to organize tabs, so whatever I changed that is stopping me from right-clicking properly might be in that extension's settings rather than in the normal browser settings; I am not sure.

I tried changing "Use native context menu" (in Sideberry settings) from off to on and vice-versa, but turning it to be on just prevents me from seeing the extension-specific right-click menu when I right-click in Sideberry. It doesn't make the normal browser right-click menu that you get when right-clicking websites themselves come back.

Thank you very very much in advance! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello

I have a small niche non critical issue with setting my own search engine in the FF mobile app. Looks like it's doing a test to see if the URL is reachable, but gets rejected because of authentication.

It did not prompt for credentials, just immediately fails which prevented me from setting it.. Now I am self hosting a SearXNG search engine behind a reverse proxy (Nginx) with basic HTTP authentication, so I do have the power to disable it for a minute just to set the engine correctly and re-enabling it again.. After that, when trying to search for something after a session ends, it did prompt me for credentials and worked pretty well after that!

So see, this is very niche, but do prevented me from setting my own engine. It will be a show stopper for those who want to use such engine (with any authentication) but do not self host it...

Thanks a bunch Roy

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }

}

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I’m experiencing an unusual issue with mouse sensitivity in Firefox. When I open Firefox, my mouse sensitivity or DPI seems to drop significantly, making it difficult to navigate. However, when I close Firefox, my mouse sensitivity returns to its normal level. This issue does not occur in other browsers like Microsoft Edge or Opera, where the DPI remains stable, suggesting the problem is specific to Firefox and not related to my laptop or system settings.

I’ve tried troubleshooting on my end, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on any specific settings or configurations in Firefox that could be causing this DPI sensitivity drop? If this can’t be resolved, I may need to consider uninstalling Firefox and switching to a different browser for a smoother experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Hi All. Not sure if anyone came across same issue.

Installed the latest version. Whenever the app is launched, windows comes up on the front screen but I am not able to interact with the browser at all. I can press and expand the menu options, but not able to launch anything... Same happens with the search bar - only able to navigate to address bar, when typing in the address and pressing Enter, bar goes back to 'blank' and doesn't load any page. Tried different versions of the app, installing it from the download page as EXE and from MS Store as and app. Same issue persist in each scenario. The issue seems to be related only to Firefox despite having Chrome and Edge available on the device and both working just fine.

I am using Dell Laptop with Windows 10 (22H2) OS.

Any troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I face an issue with calendar invitations. I have a bunch of calendars, all CalDAV, for different purposes. Now when I recieve an invite, to one of my email adresses, the invitation ends up in the wrong calendar.

There are some other questions related to this problem around, but they all seem to be solved by setting the correct E-mail adress in the calendar setting which does not work in my case. Infact I changed the email adress of the wrong calendar to "none" and another calendar is linked to the correct e-mail. I already resarted Thunderbird, to check if that makes a difference.

Further, I would in general like to have the option to switch invited appointments from one to another calendar sometimes. As said I use several different calendars an sometimes invites come in from one e-mail adress taht would fit better to a different calendar. Is there a way to do that? For what I see now there is now way to assign an invited appointment manually to a different calendar.

Thanks for your help,

Was muss ich eingeben um eine benutzerdefinierte Grafik zu erhalten?

There are tiles on the Firefox start page. You can customize these using the three-dot menu. When you click on "Apply a custom graphic..." an input field appears. If I enter a link address that is on my PC, the error message appears: "Image could not be loaded. Use a different address." What do I have to enter to get a custom graphic?

Running Thunderbird 128.4, working good, quite happy with the Calendar feature.

When printing a monthly calendar, the output includes the previous and following month dates, events, and tasks in the printout. If the first of the month falls on a Saturday, then the preceding days Sunday-Friday are from the previous month, and they are shown and printed in the output. Likewise at the end of the month.

Is it possible to change a setting so that these cells are blanked or greyed out in some manner when printing? Or is there some add-on that further lets you tweak calendar options?

Thanks in advance.
