Since Firefox version 100 the last argument for firefox-bin (last argument for its option -appDir) is `true 1 socket` whereas in previous versions Firefox 95 and earlier this was `true tab` In Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64 the version 95 and earlier work but starting from the version 100 Firefox fails to display GUI (there appears only empty window created by Gnome and titled Firefox). All the requiremnts concerning software versions have been satisfied. Therefore I suspect that this difference in the last argument may indicate the cause of this problem. Hence my question: Is it possible, without recompilation of Firefox (now 132), to provide this last argument as `true tab` instead of `true 1 socket` for option -appDir of firefox-bin ?

At the end of output from command, ps -flu username
all the options and parameters provided by the binary firefox to firefox-bin
are displayed eg.,
for Firefox-132:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox132/firefox-bin -contentproc -parentBuildID 20241021175835
-prefsLen 24975 -prefMapSize 253763 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox132/browser
{1ac1038c-19a2-4a74-8e03-83da21315c92} 15183 true 1 socket
while for firefox-95:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser
 -prefsLen 1 -prefMapSize 240375 -jsInitLen 278884 -parentBuildID 20211218203254
 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 7726 true tab

I have already signaled this problem in relevance to Firefox-128; without solution.

Hi team,

I am a researcher and trying to collect data from crash-stats.mozilla.org for my research. However, I got 403 Forbidden for several days. Can you help me to resolve this? Thank you in advance.

When I play any video on https://www.bilibili.com/ this chinese website After finish the video,The Firefox get white screen and crash And this happen every single time, There is nothing I can do The crash log is here: bp-c489f92a-e918-43ba-ab0b-589210240812

For whatever reason my request to stay logged in on certain sites is not work. Each time I close a browser or turn of my computer I have to log back in again. I have cleared the history and the cache and rebooted and it still does it.

In the previous version of Firefox I could install a multiple language keyboard layouts in the upper right row. I had to reset everything with a new HDD and Ubuntu 24, which comes with Firefox for Linux as well. Now I can't find how to install those shortcuts that I had before. I need to use Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, German and US keyboards (UK is standard with UK English as primary choice). Thank you for your help.

I've been using Mozilla Firefox since ... well, before Firefox, I used Netscape, your great-great-grandfather.

I am not blind. I have some issues with visual objects on web pages like scroll bars when you can't effectively use them. They are too thin. Mozilla has had complaints about this since 2022.

Please Fix them. Otherwise I may have to migrate to Chrome or Edge and leave my Mozilla legacy behind for a differnent fork in browsers. It's a dealbreaker folks. People will leave this browser and probably are every day for one stupid reason. Scroll bars than are inaccessible without using something like windows magnifier when you need to scroll.\

C'mon Fix the scroll bars!!

I cannot seem to find what it is called, but only web design related stuff to scrolling.

I'm looking to change the behavior of scrolling bar, that lets me click a point and the page stops at that point, whereas right now, it keeps scrolling to the end/top of the page (based on the direction relative to the starting point). I find the behavior pretty annoying and something that used to be done by the buttons on either end point.

Is this a relic of the past or can i opt-in to it through the config

All my bookmarks and toolbar are gone after you forced me to upgrade firefox. YOU CAN HELP ME BY NOT FORCING ME TO UPDATE AND THEN DELETING ALL MY IMPORTANT BOOKMARKS AND THEN ACTING LIKE YOU WANT TO HELP ME BUT INSTEAD WASTE MY TIME WITH ALL YOU JACKOFFS THAT ACT LIKE THEY KNOW THE ANSWERS. FUCK YOU YOU IM DELETING FUCKFOX AND GOING ELSEWHERE, I HOPE YOU ALL FUCKING DIE

I just noticed after an update today that the Mobile menu entry (with bookmarks from my mobile Firefox instances) no longer appears in the browser's Bookmarks menu. I can access them from the bookmark manager, but this change seems extraordinarily stupid and arbitrary and is a definite step backwards.

Firefox is, without a doubt, the best browser I have ever used, and I mean it. It's privacy oriented, great GUI, and is overall customizable. But, there are definitely some things which need improvement ASAP, such as the following: When I mouse over the top of my screen, Firefox semi-exits full screen mode and displays the toolbar. It is extremely annoying. Please make this an option somewhere; for me, even a hacky fix will do. Please, just help me get rid of it. Thanks :)

Hello

Recently I've upgraded from Kubuntu 24.04 to 24.10. I'm almost sure that the minimize/restore buttons were available in my Firefox after the system upgrade. For the last few days I can see they are missing - please see attached images.

I can partly fix the problem by going to Settings->More tools -> Customize toolbar and selecting "Title Bar" checkbox. In that case I have the title bar displayed with all 3 button (minimize, restore, close).

But I would like to have the default behavior: title bar is turned off and the mentioned 3 buttons be visible in the tab bar.

How to have those buttons in the tab bar when the title bar is turned off?

Hi folks I can't login to my Corel.com account on Firefox but I can with Chrome. Can anyone figure out how I can overcome this with Firefox?

When visiting a site with a Input=Number field and clicking on it and scrolling nothing happens when it should change the value as if i had pressed up or down arrow.

"Przeglądarka jest zarządzana przez Twoją organizację " taka informacja jest po zainstalowaniu przeglądarki - była ona przyczyną dla której na jakiś czas odinstalowałem Firefoksa gdy sie pojawiła po kolejnej aktualizacji. Co to znaczy ? Jestem osobą prywatną i nie chcę by moja przeglądarka była przez kogoś administrowana. Jak usunąć tę "Twoją organizację" z MOJEJ przeglądarki z Mojego komputera?

The latest version of Firefox (115) always launches at fullscreen size in linux. I rarely use any application at full screensize because I like to have other windows open on the desktop at the same time. Virtual desktops are not always convenient. I have tried using the -geometry option at the command line, which is usual honoured by applications running under X11, but this is ignored. Nor can I grab the bottom right-hand corner and drag it diagonally to resize it dynamically. Maybe there is a setting somewhere for initial size?

Hello! Several days ago I had to make a new Win10 computer account and being that when my FireFox reinstalled all my settings from my FireFox Account after signing in I noticed the small search bar at the top where you could use a different search engine was missing. I have been racking my brain to figure how to get it back. Could someone be so kind as to let me know how do I get the small search bar back at the top. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don
