Basically, I need an up-to-date answer for this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980246

Some checkout sites love to open PayPal in its own window without menu bars, which clashes with my uMatrix installation, as I'm not able to set the necessary permissions to make the pop-out window work correctly. I want to force websites to open pop-out windows as a new tab instead of its own window. How can I achieve this?

'add tab to taskbar' missing for web browser extension for a couple days now

I have been using the browser extension feedbro and i really enjoyed being able to plop it out of the main browser window and 'add it to the taskbar' but for a couple days this option disappeared. Is there another way to do this? did "add tab to taskbar" get removed for browser extensions? or is this feedbro related? i am unsure how to test whether the button is missing for other browser extensions as well.

added two images showing that the button is gone from feedbro and still there for other tabs/pages

I would like to restrict VPN to specific sites which have privacy issues. When I turn VPN on for a site I have opened, it states it will keep it on for that site. However, as I close it and do other work, when I return to that site, the VPN is off. Instructions for VPN show how to keep it from sites, but is there a more positive way to insure it will be attached to a site? Thank you.

I tried to use Firefox as my search engine but that didn't work so I re-downloaded DuckDuck, but the address bar say "search with google". I use to have DuckDuck but deleted it because I got tired of sites wanting to know my location. How do I get rid of that. I've tried all options in the settings file. I would prefer

Firefox Release Notes "Developer Information" Link is Broken

The "Developer Information" link in the "Developer" section of the release notes page - https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/153.0/releasenotes/ - for Firefox is broken … (read more)

The "Developer Information" link in the "Developer" section of the release notes page - https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/153.0/releasenotes/ - for Firefox is broken as of v153.0.

  1. It attempts to open: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/153
  2. MDN shows a 404 message, and offers a "153" suggested search link which eventually gets me to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/153

I have not tested this for other regions, but without the "en-US" (and possibly other "language-CountryCode" flavors), the link in the Firefox release notes page will not open the Developer release notes in MDN.

Could be an MDN configuration issue if it's not a problem with how links are generated for the Firefox release notes page.

Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thank you in advance if this issue is fixed.

A site I use daily for news suddenly is not activating, but told me there is an ad blocker happening via an extension. I went on privacy and security and extensions and I have not activated any extensions to block ads. This site activation was working just fine before Firefox notified me of "changes" that would not effect my settings. It obviously did. Would Zoom size be effecting the opening of this site. It's just at 100%. I have been trying Gemini to figure out the problem but so far nothing is working.

Hello, I use KeePassXC as a password manager, and it has a companion Firefox extension called "keepassxc_browser".

Since it's a password manager, I need it to work on all webpages, even restricted ones like the Mozilla account webpage. That's why I've allowed the extension to run on sites with restrictions, as described here. But: Even after enabling that setting for the extension, keepassxc_browser still won't work on accounts.firefox.com. Only after setting `extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled` to `false` in `about:config`, keepassxc_browser started working on the Mozilla account webpage. But of course doing this opens restricted websites to ALL extensions, which is quite a security hole. So, why "run on sites with restrictions" does not work?
