Are there any plans to make configuration of the setting "network.proxy.system_wpad" available via ADMX (grouppolicy under Windows)? We need to deploy this to 100 computers ans I still have no idea how.

Feature was introduced in FF 125: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-enterprise-125-release-notes We currently use 128.4.0esr.

Thanks, Torsten.

I am attempting to configure the "Simple Tab Groups" extension (having failed to get any help working with the more complicated Sideberry). Following instructions in firefox's "How to use Containers" article: viz: Enable Firefox containers

 " Click the menu button  and select Settings.
   In the General panel, scroll down to the Tabs section.
   Make sure the box next to Enable Container Tabs is checked. "

The "enable Container Tabs" is at the end of the list and is paler type with the box appearing checked; clicking it does not change it. Does that mean it is already self-enabled so that I cannot click it ? This might seem a stupid question but, I am only trying to follow directions! (Now you see why, without directions, I couldn't set up Sideberry. GitHub people wouldn't even answer my questions. I'm not a coder.

Thanks

I like to keep my bookmarks on the left side of the page. About a week or so ago I did a refresh on my FF due to another issue. So, after that was done I went through and looked at my settings and made the changes to get back to my previous choices. Now when I sign onto FF it opens up to a blank page, which I chose it to do, but my bookmarks are not on the left side. I have to click on my tool bar to put them there and also adjust the width of the size. Before I did the refresh the bookmarks would remain on the start page unless I had closed them before I signed off. I signed on using my wife's profile and the bookmarks remain on the start up "blank" page like they've always done. I did notice on her settings page that the option to always check to make sure FF was the default browser was "not" checked. I went back to my profile settings and the same box "was" checked for the FF default checking but it's shadowed out and I can't change it. I do have my "old" profile data saved if needed. How do I fix this issue where my bookmarks on the left side of the start up page "stays" that way when I close out and the next time I sign on they are still there?

Today I have installed Pocket on one of my Windows PCs in the Firefox browser. I got the symbol on the address bar and it works. Now I want to install Pocket on another PC, but I don't get the symbol. Without symbol I cannot use it. I can login to Pocket on the second PC and open saved URLs, but I cannot add Websites to my Pocket account. How do I get the symbol?

Hello,

How do I Turn off 'Prevent this site from creating additional dialogs' feature?

I'm using an app called sevone, and each time I delete a graph I was getting this annoying popup. I selected 'Prevent this site from creating additional dialogs' feature, and now I cannot delete any graphs.

I am unable to find the setting anywhere. In older FF versions, this setting I believe was called dom.successive_dialog_time_limit on the about:config page and set the value to 0 to fix the issue. However, this information is from 2014 and is no longer useful.

I am using Firefox browser 131.0.3 (64-bit) for macOS.

My console is stuffed with errors of firefox trying and failing to send telemetry pings.

Dozens of these accumulated very quickly.

Unable to "Dismiss" or "Delete History" on one unwanted app icon on Firefox quick connect screen. Many attempts to "Dismiss" won't make it go away. Same with "delete history".

My Logitech 1080 camera is working and recognized on Chrome and Edge. It is not recognized on Firefox, even though I have the settings allowing the camera on a list of sites, and have restarted it several times.. I can't find it on the connected devices list, etc. I HATE having to open Edge for every vidcon call!

Hi, When I go to manage the "cookies and site data" in the settings, and after I delete some of them, the disk space available usually changes to reflect deleting some of the cookies and data. Now though, since the latest update, it says, "Your stored cookies, site data, and cache are currently using 1.0 GB of disk space" ... the 1.0 is there to begin with, and even after deleting lots of the cookies, it remains at 1.0 ... unlike before when the amount of space being used goes down. Why is the 1.0 not changing to reflect deleting cookies and data etc? I am updated to the latest version 132.0, and I have a Mac laptop, 2024 15", also updated to the most current version MacOS Sequoia 15.1.

Thank you, Melissa.

My Firefox 132.0.1 64-bit Windows 10 doesnt remember my settings, as e.g. home page. As soon I exit Firefox the old (default) settings come up (exept my search engine - that it remebers). I cannot find any "save settings" any where. Best regards RP
