The keyboard shortcut L of "copy link" in right menu over a link is inconvenient for most right-handed people. I want it back to old keyboard shortcut A.

After new version 134 update, the shortcut L to A is not working again.

I posted 2 links in 2023 and 2021, but they are not working now. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1333526 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1433785

Could you please fix this bug?

Thank you so much! Brian

Doing a "find" ends up showing a greenish (so I'm told) background with white text. Want to guess which "find" in the attached image is difficult for me to find?

What I would like: Find (focus): yellow text on black background Find All: white text on black background

Yes, of course it would be nice if that would auto switch to black on yellow if the website default is black background.

I can hack userContent.css and get the selection function to work:

/* General highlight (for text selection, etc.) */

selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I can hack userContent.css and get the Find All (sans the focus) to work.

But firefox always provides the focus with white on green. Even if I do something like this:

/* Customize the color of highlighted search text */ input[type="search"]:focus::selection {

   background: #FFFF00 !important;  /* Yellow background */
   color: #000000 !important;       /* Black text */

}

I tried several themes. No change. I tried changing Windows Preferences. No change.

There must be a way to make this "find" feature useful for me.

I would like to be able to view the names of tabs and the address bar. I am able to adjust the page views and all is well there. I do not want to use stronger glasses just to view the tabs and address bar and then switch to another strength of reading glasses.

Anyone know what's needed to style the text color in *PDFviewer's highlighted "Find" results, AND make it readable?

It's easy changing PDFjs' highlighted background colors of "Find" results (Ctrl + F). Due to "textLayer" use in pdfjs, may not be easy to change text color for the same results (and be readable).

/** userContent.css **/ .pdfViewer .textLayer .highlight { background-color: rgb(239 15 255 / .3) !important; }

.pdfViewer .textLayer .highlight.selected { background-color: rgb(0 255 255 / .3) !important; }

Adding the property, "color: red !important;" to both rules creates a RED text layer in highlighted results (misaligned w/ original text).

When a tab is opened or moved into a new window (image 2.png), the additional windows will disappear from the Windows taskbar after a few moments (image 3.png) and cannot be accessed via Alt+Tab, the only way to reach that window is via dragging the windows around or with the Firefox View tab.

Animation triggers my migraines.

Many, many, many websites trigger zooming animation on mouseover. I can reduce the frame rate to help deanimate this, but I would rather not animate it at all.

On the whole, I think it'd be easier to block all these effects. How can I do that in Firefox?

I'd prefer to still see where links would lead without clicking on them. And I'd prefer to get tooltips working, but I increase mouse cursor sizes, so they're already broken.

‘accessibilty impaired for tab scrolling. SO HARF TO FIND AND KEEP CURSOR ON THE TEENEY TINY BAR. LOTS OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND HAND. no ability to join discussion. circular links. I HATE IT. AM GOING BACK TO CHROME. TAB THING WAS ONLY REASON I CAME BACK TO FIREFOX

Normally, when zoom in on a web page in Firefox, the page will adjust so the page content is still visible, by insisting the magnified content is still visible, or a vertical scroll bar is created to reveal the content.

I also run into pages where the content is only visible when the page is 100% or less.

Can this be adjusted?

Hi;

I'm using a Protonmail alias. When I copy my Hide-my-alias address in Protonmail using the Copy icon, the popup says Alias copied to clipboard it doesn't paste. Not sure if this is a Proton or FF issue. Looks like it's mot being copied.

More info:

Using Firefox

I clicked on my new HideMyAddress alias address, clicked on my alias copy icon, says copied.

It won't paste into the address field of a new email. Clipboard History is enabled. I can paste any History entry but not the alias I copied using the copy link next to the alias link.

To copy it to clipboard, I have to :

Open all alias' Sign back into account Highlight the alias address, copy Then it will paste

Tested with Brave browser:

Logged into Proton.me Copied alias and pasted into new email To address, it works.

Thanks for any ideas.

I am a Firefox user for the last 20 years. I frequently use Google Translate, and I depend on the voice-to-text feature. However, when I try to use it in Firefox, I get the message: “Voice input is not supported on this browser.”

Because of this, I am being forced to switch to Google Chrome, which I don’t really want to do. Is there any workaround, add-on, or upcoming plan to bring proper voice input support to Firefox?

The hotkey for showing/hiding the sidebar is currently ^Z. Since the Y and Z keys are swapped on German keyboards, could this be changed to ^Y when the interface language is set to German? Or is there already a setting for this that I might have missed?

All of a sudden, the text in my Bookmarks bar has turned black making it unreadable on the black background. Any idea why this happened and how I may revert the text back to white? Thank you for your help.

Why Firefox lacks having right click option (context menu) for multiple search engines like Chrome (Chromium browsers) and Edge has somewhat "Chrome-like omnibar in Mozilla Firefox"?

If I am using a certain search engine as default but don't use it all the time or want to use another without changing the default search engine or want to search a term or sentence via any search engine, then Firefox has no such option or addons (yes, checked thoroughly for latter).

Opera has from day one, Vivaldi also has it, Chrome allows it via extensions, Edge does via addons, Brave as chrome does via addons, Naver Whale (South Korean browser, underrated, seriously) has options to put more than 1 search engine for search results.

Adding images below for reference.

Why Firefox is seriously so old and outdated and nowhere close to standards of 2024 and 2025?

Somebody made a post 10 years ago around 2014 🤯🤯🤯 and Firefox, as usual went their way as they are doing now.

I've noticed that whenever I press ⌥⇧Space (option-shift-spacebar) in Firefox Developer Edition, it causes the page to refresh.

This behaviour seems to be consistent across devices.

Is there a way to change/disable this behaviour? It is very inconvenient, as it often causes me to accidentally trigger a page refresh when I type an em dash (`—`) in a text input (opt-shift-dash, and then type a space character after it, I'm very likely to hit opt-shift-space by mistake 🙈).
