Firefox Community Forum

Current behaviour in fullscreen mode: When I move my mouse to the top of the screen The tabs appear and the whole website content gets shifted down. It's ugly and distracting. Desired behaviour: The tabs appear as an overlay and part of the website content is hidden underneath them. No transitions.

What css js should I modify to achive this, any help? This prevents me from using firefox in fullscreen mode and saving space.

What happened to the feature in Settings that allows turning off Firefox control of mouse.

I do not bother to remember the name of the setting, because I simply turned it off each time there was an update, to avoid the problems it caused. NOW, it is no longer in settings.

I first notices a problem when links on a banner did not work. It did no occur to me it was due to Firefox control of the mouse.

Next the mouse wheel function, configured in the OS, that scrolls three lines has become dysfunctional. It jumps around and jerk up and down when I use it to scroll 3 lines which is a huge time waste.

Then I went to settings to turn off the mouse feature and it was not there! So I looked in about:config and there is a huge list of mouse settings that appear to be configured the way Firefox has universally done without any way to disable Firefox control of the mouse.

Lastly, I do not have the mouse configured for accessibility; I have it minimally configured the way I need it in the computer OS settings. The Firefox configuration of how the mouse functions in Firefox also creates the same wheel problem when not using the browser.

How can Firefox universal configuration of the mouse be disabled. Nothing about it is useful or helpful, it creates a number of obstacle - primarily interference with the use of the mousewheel, and on some websites (primarily configured for the use of Chrome) the banner links are not responding to the mouse.

I do not have an accessibility configuration, nor do I use keyboard mouse shortcuts, Last time I updated I actually installed the entire program, hoping to avoid the Microsoft control of Firefox since the update feature apparently uses the microsoft app to update and takes control when Firefox is the default browser (perhaps also when it is not) - to no avail.

Please at least return the feature to disable Firefox mouse settings that allows turning off the configured mouse setting, or at least offer a solution for disabling them!!

Hi,

When I opened Firefox today, it asked me which profile I'd like to use. I named one Katy and then continued. Now, I can't see any of my bookmarks, none of my passwords are saved, none of my sites recognized. I've been using Firefox for years. Everything I have is saved there. I just want my old stuff back. I'm signed in on my account, but can't see another profile that I can choose. My phone still has all the passwords and bookmarks from before but I I can't see what profile I'm signed in under. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Katy

Здравствуйте! Установлено расширение PrintFriendly - Печать, PDF и скриншоты веб-страниц. С некоторых пор, совсем недавно, опция PDF перестала сохранять отредактированные страницы практически с любого сайта из интернета. Это крайне неудобно. Скажите, эта проблема никак не связана с возможностями и особенностями функционирования браузера? Спасибо.

I was using Firefox just fine during the day. My laptop switched off with Firefox still open (was simply doing sth else). When I switched my laptop back on and opened Firefox I was signed out of my account. When I signed back in all my profiles and bookmarks were gone. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Describe exactly what isn’t working (e.g., “Videos pause every 5 seconds on Firefox version 118.0.1”).

Include when and where it happens (e.g., which website, device, or operating system).

Mention any steps you’ve already tried (e.g., “I cleared my cache and restarted the browser, but the issue persists”).

I'm trying to diagnose an unusual problem on a relative's computer elsewhere in the country via TeamViewer. When Firefox is initiated, the same picture (a man taking a shower) appears, and the VERY 'long URL starts with a Yahoo image file (yimg) and also contains buzzfeed.com well into that URL. I thought I could easily diagnose this, and have failed. Home page is set to blank page. I cleared all browsing data. When that failed I exported bookmarks, created a new profile, and the problem still continued, even before importing the bookmarks or adding any extensions. Something is retaining the unwanted startup behavior. Tonight, out of desperation, I will reconnect and look through the registry.

Can anyone surmise why an unwanted URL is being invoked upon Firefox startup?

I am having passwords and emails not being saved.It does not matter whether it is ether or both, It does not recognize them a lot of the Roku channels I have. Sometimes it asked to save,or the reminder will not come up. Trying to recoup password or create a new is just as bad I realize some of it is the websites fault BUT............. The problem still exists .I also may be doing something wrong. Please help me if you can

This feature/option is not working. I close with multiple tabs open, and restart and only the generic search/home page is there. It is tedious to have to reopen if many tabs have been used.

Uploading/posting files via the Firefox browser on my laptop to Instagram does not work. It's been stuck on this window for 15 min (I'm using another PC for other work). The only reason I need firefox is to do this action. I don't want to use IG's mobile app for anything. I don't want to use any other browser because IG has me flagged with other browsers — they included my previous IG account in it's random ban via it's AI clean up of accounts for simply posting photos of surfers at a competition —( but that's for another topic for another day).

Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day! —Steve

With the new profile manager your have to choose a Profile that you have to open on system start. That is okay, but I often change between two main profiles, "Homelab" and Personal. That means if I close Firefox and open it again it defaults to open in the last profile use. When I get an idea, I like to start researching and testing before i get side tracked

Is there a way to specify to open a link in a particular profile, like with Edge you would do something like: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"

Thing I have tried:

• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"
• C:\Users\%USER\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vlfrd90t.default
• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -P [also -profile] "[Alpha-digits].Profile 1"

Any assistance would be appreciated.

The same thing happens on my two Dell laptops (Inspiron and Latitude), and a Hyper-V VM (on my desktop PC). They all run Bazzite Linux 6.17.7-ba25.fc43.x86_64.

A video may play for a second or two, and then it's either a black screen, or an error message of "The content doesn't seem to be working."

On the same two laptops and VM, the Chromium Browser, and LibreWolf (a fork of Firefox?), have no issues playing the same videos.

Firefox version on all three systems is 147.0.3.

Any help/guidance welcome with thanks.

I get three grey boxes at the top right of the Firefox start-up page. See the attached image. They dissappear if I search and enter another web page. The only way I can get rid of them is to reset Firefox. They return within 24 hours.

What are they and how can I get rid of them?
