OK I have been trying to go 100% Firefox for just a few months but with privacy and security as primary directive. It would be wonderful to just be in ine well moderated browser ecosystem and actually being able to have my preferences, interest and personal information centralized with eventual goal of digitally divorcing tech companies from my personal data. I still have to use a lot of different devies with varying OS and it literally took me two years to help Apple fix an AppleId problem. Now that I have that sorted out I have been hoping to move away from gmail entirely and eventually have my own mailserver but using icloud now for macs and pcs.


At a minimum it seems like even after forced manual I have not properly sync an imac with windows 10 PC. So to keep it simple I stay there but this morning when I typed into Firefox on my iMac its was google search not Duckduckgo. Not only have I synced it in firefox but icloud should be redudant and I had removed google from list of potential search engines. There seems to be some way for a hostile takeover of these settings and google connstant agressive intrusions asking for data is not just wrong or annoying its simply impossible to not have facebook or google track me beyond california digital privacy standards. The worst offender may be youtube. I want to fix the browser and sync my stuff. But I am also looking for extensions that will help me do that better.

I am pretty thorough and now just want to learn more and would like to believe one can have a semblance of privacy but it seems like it will be an adversarial experience when the companies that do can rollback privacy with clever tv ads. The 'providers' clearly do not give hoot about rules, preferences and laws designed to protect people's rights.. That is what is particulary frustrating. It is not a fair fight but a good one. I guess what I am wondering is if there are specific modules you could add to detect maybewhen an event like change in search engine occurs and whether logs may exist as to how or why the change was made. Even if it was an accidental quick through a popup in chromium or edge where I was always being cued to come back to Chrome. Logging out doesnt always seem to work so i tried syncing with and chrome with more or less same results. Very little actual control or at least a tendency to revert back to the data miners preferences over mine. I want to help stop that.

Hello y'all: I am technologically challenged and I have tried for over an hour to turn off the dark mode on Firefox. Pls note I read ALL the other treads regarding this topic and for some with little to no-knowledge of programing like yours truly, the answers are interesting but for me useless.

I don't even know how the heck the dark mode got turn on to begin with. I have bad eye sights and this sudden change is driving me inside.

I thank you in advance for a simple, non-technical answer.

I have just discovered Pocket now allows you to sort Pocket Saves into Lists. !! Hurrah and thank you so much.

However, it would be SO HELPFUL if it was possible to sort the Lists alphabetically, as I now have so many it is difficult to find a particular List.

I realise this may be a development, but just thought I would check.

Also - I am not sure many people have realised you have added this ability to Pocket, so maybe you could advertise it more. I beleive a lot of people would prefer to use Firefox for saving Collections instead of other providers, but it was so confusing to use it before you added this capability. Thank you

The removal of compact mode makes Firefox less accessible for people with vision problems!

I was helping an elderly friend who is legally blind, with their computer. He uses the windows magnifier to zoom in so he can read what's on the screen. When I opened Firefox the menu and tabs take up an entire half of the screen (not an exaggeration). This is due to the removal of the compact view. There was nothing I could do to fix this problem and make his menu and tabs not to be floating and massive. What this means is that his content view is now less than half of his screen size. This is not accessible for someone with sight issues. I went through a couple of guides and alternative settings to edit in the about:config It looks like the past settings have all been disabled from making changes to the Firefox UI, including trying to disable proton. Everywhere I look it says that Compact Mode is no longer supported and will eventually be removed from Firefox.

I have been a lifetime Firefox user and I changed those settings for myself after the display update a few months ago. I would have to switch browsers if there was no fix. But for my friend who is legally blind I would be required to talk to an accessibility lawyer and see what my options are. Alienating people with disabilities because someone thought the extra space looks cool is unacceptable!

I run wxmaxima on ubunbtu 20.04. The help menu option calls up firefox (v 101.0.1 (64 bit)) to find the local on disk html files. However this brings up the error message:

File not found

Firefox can’t find the file at /usr/share/maxima/5.45.1/doc/html/maxima_singlepage.html#g_t_0025.

But this is a valid path with user access permissions and the file maxima_singlepage.html exists and has user read permissions.

So what is firefox doing in looking for this file?

I have used the ms windows 10 version of wxmaxima and the firefox help works perfectly.

In the early days of Firefox, the FAQs in the release notes mentioned that the preferred abbreviation is "Fx":

> How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it? > Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

However, some time ago (unsure when exactly), this question was dropped off the FAQs. In fact, I can't find any mentions of a preferred abbreviation in any recent documentation.

Does this mean that the Mozilla Foundation no longer has a preferred abbreviation for Firefox? If "Fx" is still preferred (or not), does anyone have a link to an official documentation or statement from the Foundation indicating this?
