Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I don't know what is happening. I cannot use the search bar on safeway.com site. All my account information is present including my past purchases, my account info, and all settings. BUT, it will not allow me to search any product. When I type Eggs, I get a message that says there is no search results for Eggs and to check my spelling. I have talked with Safeway customer support 4 times and they don't have a solution but for me to clear cache and temp files. I have done that dozens (not exaggerating) times and the problem persists. Please help. The idea to use Edge or Chrome are not something I choose to use.

Note: This is also an accessibility issue as those of us with limited or impaired motor control can be inordinately affected in a way that limits our use of Firefox or makes it virtually impossible to use in any use-case more complex than browsing YouTube.

Issue: There are certain, pre-defined, keyboard shortcuts within Firefox whose action is both immediate and irrevocable. Those of us who have limited, or impaired, motor control are particularly susceptible to this, though I have heard anecdotal evidence that other - unimpaired - users suffer from this as well.

Example: There is a particular key combination that I periodically, (accidentally), hit while typing that immediately and irrevocably clears the dialog that I am entering text into - as I am doing here - with no possibility of recovery and no warning that a potentially disastrous action is about to take place.

My specific case, (that is, the most recent instance of my specific case), occurred last night while composing a reply to a topic within the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum addressing a particular, and popular, issue with the sim.

I spent a significant amount of time creating this message - setting paragraph formatting, creating tables, inserting images, carefully crafting the text and such like, that had taken me upwards of an hour to prepare.

While typing - I managed to inadvertently hit a magical "Nuke-and-Destroy" key combination that caused all my lengthy, careful, painstakingly crafted work to immediately vanish with no chance of recovery.

To this very day I still have no idea what combination of keys does this - and if I knew, I would try to suppress it at the keyboard/system level so that Firefox never sees it.

When I searched for a solution to this problem, I found the following article on this site: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1364260]

In essence, (though it was worded much more politely), the answer was that Mozilla knows about the issue of potentially undesirable "magic" key combinations, has no plans to address it, and if you don't like it it just vacuums being you.

Though this particular key combination might be useful in certain cases, (though I cannot imagine what use-case would benefit from accidentally destroying hours of work), the utterly irrevocable nature of the action - and the absolute lack of any warning whatsoever - makes this a classic case in the annals of horrid user interface design; to the point of being a functional bug even though it works as designed.

A more desirable action would be to:

1. Allow it to be disabled entirely, along with the other potentially annoying/disastrous keyboard shortcuts.
2. Provide a (default) action that warns the user that this action is both immediate and irrevocable and allowing the (default) option to abort the action. Extra credit: Allow the user to permanently disable the offending feature from the dialog.
3. In the unlikely event that a particular user might wish to use this regularly and deliberately, allow the user to bypass the warnings and permanently enable the feature - with the caveat that it vacuums being them if they do something wrong - not unlike the disclaimer when accessing about:config.

I would suggest that this action, and the action of other "magic" keys/key-combinations within Firefox represents a significant burden to those of us who may already be struggling to use a keyboard. Perpetuating this class of issue, especially since it's a known issue and there's no desire whatsoever to accommodate those of us negatively affected by it, borders on both arrogance and ableism.

I would like to humbly place this request at the feet of whomever is responsible for this atrocious policy and earnestly request they reverse this unpleasant and destructive behavior.

Respectfully submitted: Jim Harris.

I can not get rid of the pink background in the address bar, search box or background space of yahoo mail. I can not find the revert to default theme as previous post from several years ago suggested as a solution.

I often save to PDF or mark text then transfer it into a document. Firefox renders many letter combinations as ligatures: ff, fi, ffi, fl, and more. I don't want ligatures. The cures proposed have involved forbidding pages to use their own fonts. Is there another way?

How can mouse hover be disabled? On some websites (e.g. gva.be) when you hover (unintentionally) over some link, then this link is opened as if you had clicked on it.

How can this be disabled? I searched in about:config for mouse hover but I couldn't find anything relevant. Or do I need an extension to disable this behaviour?

I was able to login with my password. I got a notice popup from Fox Fire saying that I should change my PW. My PW is old. I do not understand why I received this message. Maybe tech could check my setup to make sure everything is working correctly. Thanks Lois Stiles [edited] E-mail [edited] [edited]

Why is there in about:config no reference to documentation of the displayed settings?

e.g. browser.chrome.toolbar_tips.hide_on_keydown

What is it? What is the meaning of the values? What is the default value? Why do we have to guess?

It is probably documented somewhere (I hope). Why is there no reference to it in about:config?

When Firefox logs onto yahoo the Stock chart OHLC is not showing the OHLC....

Tried different formats, with HLC showing with the HLC not clear as widen range looking at.

Earlier format of yahoo OHLC worked fine, recent months the OHLC chart is not showing.

Reported earlier to yahoo, and am wondering if my Firefox settings may be causing this problem ?

Is there somebody to answer my questions please? For the first site, it is impossible to have the PDF document when clicking the button. For the second, when I click to the "buy tickets" button, it doesn't work. What's wrong with the Firefox navigator????????????? Thank you.

I extracted what you need, I think. So I've moved the description to the bottom.

- If the solution requires steps I'd appreciate them. 
- Yes, I tried ' personalize your computer'.
- Yes, I've tried all sorts of things.
- The problems may be from switching to Windows 11
- I can't figure out 11's logic about what goes where.
  

1) Where is my own wallpaper and how do I change them? 2) Where are my themes; how do I change them?

- I was there once but couldn't find it again. And just spent a long time downloading themes

3) Where is the eye saver, that turns on or off on your set times. 4) The search bar is and always remains pink-orange. Has Microsoft decided we're so stupid we can't find it without their help. How do I change that fucking orange-peach search bar?? 4.1) It bothers me so much I actually want to write that last sentence all in caps It is the most annoying thing about switching to 11.

Wait, you don't control the wallpaper. But if you happen to know, could you tell me?

Description The search bar is an ugly orange, I can't find my new themes, I can't find my wallpaper (which may be the reason there's a pastel line at the bottom - I was tired.) I was hoping the orange search bar was because of the eye saver but clearly that isn't it - I woke up at three. And where is the eye saver anyway?

I can't find my themes. Some for fun, playing with all of them would be a good time waster. This morning I got a lot of themes and want to have a fun time waster playing with them. But it's not just the fun. I need Firefox to a certain look/feel when working.

There's a lot more but these do need to be done and I'm hoping it will help learn the logic. [I just deleted a lot of anger before writing that.]

The search bar is an ugly sort of pale orange. I LOATH that. No matter what I do it won't go away. Which is why I was waiting for the eye saver switch. Maybe Windows 11 decided we're so incompetent we couldn't ourselves. Bur the rest should be easy, obvious, and I dislike people having to answer stupid questions. I just can't follow 11's logic to get me where I need to be. I'm pretty savvy, and exhausted from trying. I'll figure out the rest of this if I have to but **get rid of it** I actually want to write that in all caps but it would be rude. It is so distracting it's difficult to see other things up there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for you time; I volunteer as well. And at least you don't have to ask the truly simple: "Okay, check to see if your computer is plugged in." Back in the day we really did have to ask once in a while: it was serous trouble-shooting. Of course it became a catch phrase, both fun and work. "have you plugged in your computer?

I have done something to just one web site that has made the display so small that I cannot read it or see the pictures well at all for just that one web site. I was trying to print just a selection of the web page that included some words and pictures. I was having a hard time trying to only highlight what I wanted to print. In doing that, I kept trying to make my selection several times. Somehow, I have messed the settings up for just that one web site. All of the other web sites are unchanged. I printed the instructions regarding font size, but I do not want to make overall changes. The other web sites I go to are fine. I only want to get the display corrected for this one web site I use a lot. In trying to highlight what I wanted to print, I have messed up the display for that one web site. As I wrote above, I do not want to make an overall change that will affect all of the web sites I go to using Firefox.

Can you tell me what I may have done to cause this and how to correct it? I thank you for any help you can give me. I also apologize for the length of this. This problem is hard to explain.

THANK YOU!

I'm setting up a new Mac with Sonoma 14.7.1. with Firefox 133.0 (UK English).

Normally my basic zoom setting is 133% with the 'zoom text only' box UNchecked. This has always worked in the past but the settings no long 'stick' and need a reset every time Firefox is restarted.

Firefox is installed in the admin account and I'm running as user, although this has not been a problem in the past.

Is this a known bug or is there a workround for it? All help & suggestions appreciated.
