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?

I have 8 windows open all the time on my main Firefox, and switching between them is hard because the name is that of the last tab I used, which might not be very human-readable or might be similar to one on another window. It would be great if I could name my windows! Is there a way to do that? If not, could I request that as a future feature?

Hello! This is not really a question ... more a comment. This morning when I opened my WIN 7 HOME tower PC, and opened FIREFOX, I saw the notice that this latest release is the latest for WIN 7. That's fine, but I wish to tell you something about WIN 7 PRO & MICROSOFT. Evidently, there is some major user of WIN 7 PRO who has demanded that MICROSOFT continue to support this version. I have two H-P laptops, which I use for Ladder programming. Both are loaded with WIN 7 PRO, and both receive periodic updates from MICROSOFT. So, it would seem that ALL support for these older releases of Windows has not ended. I am in the process of moving all my files & applications from this WIN 7 HOME PC to my WIN 10 tower PC. THANK YOU. robert herold [removed emails from public]

P.S. Had no problem porting the FIREFOX data to the 10, but had a lot of problems doing the same for THUNDERBIRD on this PC to the 10, despite getting assistance from your tech people.

Hello, While not on every occurrence of starting Firefox, too many times Firefox won't bring up its home page (Google) because two applications running in the background (Memeo Premium Backup and Trusteer Rapport) start to run at the same time and contribute at least 70% of the CPU load, with Firefox accounts for another 20%.

I imagined that Google is flooding Firefox with a lot of files that Memeo begins tabulating for transfer in anticipation of its external backup drive being eventually switched on.

So I decided to tell Memeo to specifically exclude two system folders which might be storing temporary files when Firefox is active.

C:\Users\**\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox C:\Users\**\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox

Doing this did not improve things, as Memeo and Trusteer occasionally turn on as Firefox is starting up.

Does anyone know of any other folders which could be potential locations for temporary data that Memeo may feel obligated to interact with.

Thanks

Hi - Javzscript Enable, though "True", still brings up the error "Enable Javascript". I spent hours on this, but nothing useful was found. Has any one had this problem, and if so, were they able to fix it?

Best regards, Nick.

Hello I do not know if anybody is aware of this minor issue but Firefox Screenshot Tool Cause a 1px Space at The Left Side of Image. When you take a screenshot of an image with firefox tool then edit it on photoshop like image editors you will see that a 1px empty space at the left of the image. Attachad image is a screenshot taken by firefox tool see it please.

See image. Why is some manual pages like this and others are normal. This has just started, and the Publication company told me to use chrome because this never happens there. I have less problems with firefox so i stay here but this just started after latest update.

Sometimes when I go to weather.com I get a pop-up that says something to this affect: We've detected that Global Privacy Controls are turned Off yet they were turned On when you previously visited our site. This does not happen every time I go to weather.com. Sometimes it pops up, other times it does not. I think then if offers some buttons to click to turn it On. I just close the site and open it again. When I do sometimes this repeats and sometimes it doesn't. I know next to nothing about this. Firefox Settings it says its version 115.0.1 and that Firefox is up to date. I also have DuckDuckGo Essentials if that makes any difference.

Hello, Just the last couple of days I have been unable to view PDF documents using Firefox. The documents appear but all words and numbers have been replaced with symbols. I cleared my cache of cookies thinking that may have caused the issue but the problem remains. Do you have any other ideas to solve this issue??

Hello! I have saved a password in firefox. This I have recently renewed and saved again. Now I urgently need the old version of this password saved in firefox. Is there any way to recover it? Thanks a lot!

There's surely no option for it now, but I would like to suggest adding a setting for each user that can affect all or individual add-on extensions : force silent updates. You see, when add-ons get updated, they open a new tab. Now this can be useful or simply interesting, but sometimes it's just obtrusive for people, especially when watching a video. This happened to me a couple of times, I'd be watching a YouTube video on full screen and suddenly the program would exit full screen and switch to a new tab where the add-on page is open, and the video is still playing. Thanks!

I cannot drag the home button to the toolbar to add it ? i do not know why but i can add it to the right side by right clicking and clicking add to toolbar but thats not where i want it. I cant drag anything to add it where i want

After the update to 115.0.1 the hourglass symbol ('Wait') won't stop blinking. I've restarted and checked the task manager. Low power usage for everything and restarting changed nothing. ??

Thanks.

Can we please reduce the size of the mandatory bars up top? Is the Fox going to be like Opera and the rest and make us leave? Why do they want half the screen? They took away the controls and then started making them fat. Right now I have 2/3 screen. Anybody have a solution? I know there is no explanation why they all do this. They never answer. Thanks.

I recently started experiencing errors for logging into third-party websites that use Google sign-in.

On one site (coches.net), I have the sign-in popup loop for like 3 times and then disappear but leaves me unlogged.

On the other site (etoro.com), the sign-in popup shows but then I get an error message from the site about the login. Then it won't let me reconnect since CloudFlare won't accept my "I'm not a robot" prompt and keeps reloading the same page.

This started happening yesterday. I'm not aware of any Firefox or Anti-Virus updates that have happened since, measures not existing yesterday.

I can sign-in correctly from Chrome with no issues.
