Firefox Community Forum

I had to replace my old laptop. On that machine, all pages were set to come up with a black background and the page items also were in black. On my new laptop, the items on a web site come up with a white background. I would like all pages to come up with a black display. For instance, this page I am on now is white. I would prefer it to be black with white type. Can you help me?

There is no option to pin it to the toolbar. This is a new install of Firefox on a "new to me" computer running Win11Pro. It was there on my old computer. I'm stumped. Thanks.

Firefox freezing when trying to get text for authentication on sites. Just started after this mornings update on Firefox!!! Anybody else? Have to turn off/on laptop to get it to work again

Duplicate Tab, Duplicate Tabs and Reopen Closed Tab don't work. I have making a new tab and copying the URL I need from the original tab. Any idea on how to fix this ?

I have the extension LastPass on Firefox and Edge. Edge works fine, but Firefox will let me log in and shows the extension is red, but when I click on "Vault" the page is blank. I can click on "Favorites" and got to one of those websites, but that is all I have access to.

I've recently changed my OS from Suse to Kubuntu. When I used Firefox in Suse there was an option, 'Save Link', which created a .desktop file that I could then click on to load the page. This file could be saved in any folder, which meant it could be filed away in an appropriate place.

When I click on a .desktop file in Kubuntu it will load the page, but there doesn't seem to be a way of creating one with the version of Firefox that has been installed.

Is there a way of one-click creating a .desktop file in Kubuntu that I haven't noticed? (Yes, I can easily create one using Kate, but that could be long-winded for the number of pages I want to save.)

When I open Firefox at start of day, it [laptop] seems slow. Now when I check why with Task Manager I see that one click on Firefox has opened it NINE times when I look at performance. Why? I only need one instance to do my work. So it takes up memory and cpu performance. Ugh turned my laptop into a slow dog! HELP?!

It would be vary helpful if there was a frame setting that could be changed in the extension so I would not have to change it manually upload it an wait for it to be approved just so I can see the change.

Currently frame inactive is a option but at least on linux that wont change the inactive tab section color. An it does some weird gnome gtk workaround which at least on non-gnome is vary ugly. Personally In wish the team would use anything but gtk in the future.

Frame section:

The color of the header area background, displayed in the part of the header not covered or visible through the images specified in "theme_frame" and "additional_backgrounds".

See example json

"theme": {

 "colors": {
    "frame": "red",
    "tab_background_text": "white"
 }

}

It looks like firefox recently updated with new privacy features (great!) What's not so great is that now it forces me to log into gmail each time I open a new browser window (not great). I have several different accounts that regularly use so this isn't ideal.

I've tried adding both gmail.com and google.com as exceptions under the cookie settings (didn't work). I even went and turned off the "enhanced tracking protection" on every step of the gmail login page and my inbox. Still kicks me out once I open a new browser. Any help to remedy this problem would be great.

Is there a about:config entry for controlling the different types of data collected in the background? I'm asking because I have them switched off yet the app is still trying transmit.

The latest firefox update makes it so that when you have duplicate tabs open, if you close one, it closes them ALL. I had an issue where YouTube decided instead of opening a video in the same tab, it opened in a new tab, a setting I immediately fixed when I realized it had happened.

Unfortunately, I only wanted THE DUPLICATE TABS to close, not ALL of the tabs linking to that video. I wanted A SINGLE TAB REMAINING of that tab, but there appears to be no setting anywhere in Firefox to change that. Can anyone help???

To be clear: When I have multiple of the same tab, I only want to close the other duplicates, not all of them, so I can still go about my business on that one tab.

Ex: I open a YouTube video by accident in multiple tabs, I wish to watch this video without having to search YouTube for it again. I want to close the duplicates of that video tab, but not the original one.

I have been using Firefox for many years. I just used Crap Cleaner on my PC and cannot access Firefox via the emblem.

I can access other browsers without trouble but Firefox is suddenly not working.

Have tried to reinstall but to no avail.

Help would be much appeciated.
