Firefox Community Forum

On your homepage there are 24 news articles... is it asking too much to have 12 of them from non-far-left news agencies instead of the 20 far-left and 4 neutral? Or maybe you don't care about the 50+ percent of right leaning customers. Need a Bud-Light lesson?

So I'm new to Firefox, and I added some shortcuts to the main tab, using the "+" button. But then after a few minutes it disappeared, when I wanted to add more. I set 4 rows of shortcuts and I have a lot of space left for them. What do I do to bring this button back? I tried deleting a shortcut but it didn't appear.

Hello, Until recently, I was able to double tap the browser bar and have the window expand to fill the screen just short of "full screen" mode so I could still see the menu/task bar. I remember I did need to adjust settings for this somewhere but can no longer figure it out now that it is not functioning to this spec any more.

I did check about:config to see if "apz.allow_double_tap_zooming" was set to TRUE and it is, by following this suggestion below:

Hi,

In other browsers, I zoom PDFs using Ctrl + mouse wheel, but lately in Firefox, this only works intermittently. It functions for a while, then suddenly stops responding. Is this a known bug, or is there a setting I need to enable?

Thanks

According to this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly it defines that, when Editing, I should be able to press Home and End to navigate to the start and end of the lines I am on.

Is that an error? I cannot use the Home and End keys at all in this very textarea I am typing in. Command-Left/Command-Right work, but not Home/End.

I have not changed any mappings of my keyboard, and I'm not using any addons. Restarting the browser in troubleshoot mode does not change the behavior.

I've read innumerable posts about this saying to remap it to Command-Left, but I don't want to do that. I want Home to scroll to the top of the page when I am browsing, and to go to the beginning of the line when typing. This is the behavior on Windows, and it should be consistent across versions. If I remap it, then the Home key goes Back a page, which is terrible.

Also no I'm not in caret mode.

I cannot open the find on page toolbar. No matter if I use the ctr+f shortcut or click "find on page" in the menu, the toolbar with the text field doesn't come up. I checked and the shortcut works fine in other apps. I tried restarting firefox in the troubleshoot mode - the problem persists. I'm on the latest version of Firefox (138.0.1) and running Windows 11.

I have 2 instances of Firefox: I use stable for all my professional work, and I use Developer Edition (Aurora Channel) for personal things. The stable branch works fine. In Aurora though, certain key combos will not work. This even persists in troubleshooting (safe) mode.

Specifically, it seems anything using both ctrl+alt will not register alt, only ctrl. alt, alt+shift, and ctrl+shift all seem to work fine, but ctrl+alt and ctrl+alt+shift do not. Again, this works fine in stable, so I am clueless as to why it doesn't work in my other instance.

Another detail is that this happens on multiple websites, not just one. The post prominent one is Google Sheets. In sheets, you can insert the date using `ctrl+;`, the time using `ctrl+shift+;`, and both using `ctrl+alt+shift+;`. Inserting them separately works fine, but both causes only one to insert.

Dear Support,

would be most grateful for any answers to my question.

I have a copy of Firefox Portable, which I tend to use at local libraries.

In the past, the home page of Firefox Portable would show 8 different icons. I could click on One of them, and would be taken straight to the site of that icon. I would be shown the icon for Language Shop, and could then click on it to get into it.

Now, the home page of Firefox Portable still shows 8 different icons, but there is not an icon for Language Shop.

How could I replace one of the icons with Language Shop, please?

I have also attached a screenshot of the home page as it is now, with the 8 icons highlighted,

My Firefox is not working properly since the latest update (5/1/25). My Menu button doesn't do anything when clicked and my home page does not show a Shortcuts menu. I need these problems corrected.

Sometimes, when I want to use the Take a Screenshot function (on my toolbar) to save a long section of a page, after selecting what I want and scrolling down to the Download button, the process positions the page's floating 'identification' bar across the the middle of the picture. Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the download command after making the selection, without the need to scroll down to see the button? This would greatly simplify the process. In some limited searching and testing, I haven't found anything that accomplishes this.

I have attached a screenshot of a page to serve as an example of how the bar is superimposed.

FWIW, this system is still running Windows 7, Firefox 115.22.0 esr.

I installed Mozilla, there was a shortcut + on the home page. I added my shortcuts and deleted unnecessary ones, those that were by default. After that, the shortcut + disappeared. How can I return the shortcut +

I WANT TO ADD YAHOO.COM TO MY HOMEPAGE . I ALREADY HAVE 6 OTHER ICONS THERE: AMAZON, GOOGLE, AOL, FOX NEWS, SMITHS FOODS, AND CHASE. HOW DO I ADD A 7TH TO MY HOMEPAGE? THANK YOU, LYNN STRATMAN

The icons on my home page suddenly became significantly reduced in size. Sure, I can tell what they are, and I've increased the text size for their identifiers below the icons. But they are now so small as to be not pleasing to the eye. How can I put them back the way they wuz?

Good afternoon. Yesterday I updated the Mozilla version from 135.0.1 to 136.0 and now the Firefox logo has appeared on the main screen (where the shortcuts are), thus reducing the size of the shortcuts and creating the inconvenience of having to scroll with the mouse, because before that everything fit nicely. Please remove the logo from the Firefox home page. Or tell me how I can return to version 135.01 without losing my data. This is very inconvenient, so much so that I decided to write to you for the first time.

Dear Firefox Team,

I am using Firefox on my computer and have encountered a few issues:

1. When I delete all the website shortcuts, I am unable to add new website shortcuts. There is no option available to add them back.

2. When I use the "Unpin" option, the shortcut gets deleted completely, instead of just being unpinned. Ideally, the shortcut should remain available after unpinning.

I kindly request you to address these issues in an upcoming update so that users can have a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you.

This morning I found a new page describing new "stuff" (curated news articles, etc.) and looked around - somehow I have "lost" the links on my landing page....how do I restore them? Thank you.
