Firefox Community Forum

When I opened Firefox today, I couldn't open the add-ons page with the shortcut Ctrl + shift + A like I could before, it just did this other thing with the address bar with "tabs" at the beginning. Why isn't the shortcut working like it should? It was working fine yesterday and I'm not going to waste my time learning to use the browser some other way because some bonehead thought they have the authority to force an unnecessary change on my browser use that I didn't ask for.

Hi everyone!

I am using the add on 'sidebery' for vertical tabs.

Recently I updated to FF 157.0 and saw this annoying part in the sidebar (as seen in the image attached "started like that...")!

I didn't ask for taking up THAT much space in the sidebar area that could fit almost TWO vertical tabs in it! Can you (or I?) somehow make it go away completely?

The userChrome.css 'trick' with sidebar-header #sidebar-box {

  display: none !important;  

} didn't do it.

...

So...Fast forward and another update took place (158.0) and looking at the attached image ("now..."). That space needs to be GONE for good. Like it was before. And not with a label tacked on top. :)

Can you make go away?

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm using firefox 158.0.1 (64 bit) on a windows 11 pro on an HP workstation with an 8 core intel xeon processor and 64gb of memory.

The hard drive that my firefox profile is on is seemingly being slowly filled by an add-on. However, since firefox now is using a symbolic names instead of easily identifiable/meaningful names, I don't know which add-on is causing the issue. My understanding is that Firefox developers did this to help obfuscate web sites from determining what add-ons might processing their site's pages when a user accesses their website..

What I have found is that the following directory in my firefox profile storage directory {FirefoxProfile\storage\default} has a sub-directory named {moz-extension+++764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe} that has grown to over 13GB! Further, I've noticed that that logical drive is getting accessed a lot, and this likely explains it My question is how to determine which add-on is writing to the sub-directory {moz-extension+++764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe}.

I really don't want to do a full reset of firefox as I have lots of tabs open for various reasons, and don't want to lose site cookies (not trackers) that keep me logged into various websites.

So if someone can help me find a cross-reference of "764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe" to it's actual extension name, I can clobber that particular extension without having to do the full reset. I assume somewhere in Firefox's data files there has to be a cross-reference from this mapped name to the actual add-on.

Thanks for the help, Philip

I'd like to find addons for Dropbox. To work as much as possible with moving files to other cloud storeges, and also to save files on Dropbox. I'd really appreciate if anyone can recommend something that works... :-) I'm living in Stockholm-Sweden and it starts gettin to cold to be outdoors. Hope someone comes back to me with something good.

Best Regards to all of you. ✌

Hi, I have Windows 10 Pro OS.

I am an eHarmony subscriber, and the program Grammarly does not work, but it works when I use Google Chrome. Can you please help me?

Regards.

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

which addons use the FF built in automatic tab unload ? I do not want extensions with own method because once an addon crashed and i LOST ALL TABS ! :( So searching or sorting for native tab sleep would be more comforting. thx

tags: tab tabs deactivate discard unload memory

A few days ago my browser lost all of my Extensions and I can't find where they went or why they are gone, my you tube ext., my Last Pass pass word keeper, my ad blocker and some others are all missing and I need help putting them back .

I've been asked to disable an ad blocker by the New York Times to access it's web page for advertising. I thought I had an ad blocker app associated with my Firefox browser account.
