Is there anyway to see what manifest version an Extension is using?

Going forward I would prefer most of the extensions I use to move to v3, except for a few which I know need v2 features.

I used to have an image (dark, stormy sky) in my new tabs, that appeared as a background to my grid of websites (8 columns x 4 rows). Suddenly, I haven't seen it today - just noticed that it's just black. Can't seem to find where to access the different images. Would like the path to find it, or learn if it's no longer available or if I can make my own. Thanks.

The title or name given to a website isn't always indicative of the site. I have more than a few that start "login". It is confusing. How do I Rename to something meaningful and easily recognizable, to me? Currently, instead of having to remember a password, I have to remember how it is stored. Kind of negates the reason for having a password manager...

Subject: Restore Left Column and Vertical Separator on Top Menus

Hi All,

I noticed in FF 136 (Windows 11) I have no left column and vertical separator in the top menus.

But FF 115 ESR (Windows 7) had these additional columns and vertical separators on all the menus.

Is there some .CSS code to bring them back in FF 136?

Only my File and View menus have this left column, to allow for a checkmark next to menu items that are toggles (Work Offline on the File menu, and Full Screen on the View menu).

Please see attached image.

Thanks.

There are two individual things happening with Short Cuts that are not desirable.

1. Firefox creates Short Cut icons on its own. Every day there are Short Cuts that I did not want on my page.

2. These automatically created Short Cut icons cannot be removed. No matter how many times "Dismiss" is selected, the icon is still on the main page.

How do you stop automatic Short Cuts from being created? And how do you Dismiss icons that will not be Dismissed?

Hi,

I have a question to the Firefox Snap permissions. I want to give Firefox the minimum of permissions which you can grant via Settings => Apps => Firefox Web Browser, because of security reasons.

So, a lot of them are self-explanatory, but there are some where I can’t imagine what that means and whether Firefox really needs such permission to run correctly and save or not. These are the following:

- Run in Background - Detect network devices using mDNS/DNS-SD - system-files - gsettings - Access hardware information - Mount-control - login-session-observe - opengl - system-packages-doc - Read/write access to U2F devices exposed - Access energy usage data

So, my question is: Does Firefox really need one of these above permissions to run correctly and save (I am asking because I don’t know if some of the above permissions are for security reasons activated) or can I turn them off?

Thank you!

All information windows (pop ups) in the applications E-Mail and Calendar are extremly small. The informations are extremly bad to read. The possibility to change the size of the letters in "settings" only change the size of the letters of the written message or the calender itself.They will be bigger but the size of the pop ups will stay small. How can I change the size of it? Please answer under Becker.D.1@gmx.de Thanks

---

Navigate to /usr/lib/firefox.

Create autoconfig.cfg:

// var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

/* set new tab page */ try {

 Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm");  
 var newTabURL = "file:///home/james/ff/index.html";  
 AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL;  

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

Create defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:

// pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

---

However, upon updating to Firefox 136, I only get a blank page. All of my autoconfig files still exist in /usr/lib/firefox.

When I create a new tab with Ctrl+T, it's a blank page. When I create a new window, it loads the local page I want it to load with the file path in the URL (which it never had before; the URL bar was blank in Firefox 135). So it seems to be partially working.

Any tips?
