When will this madness end?!

It used to be great.

ctrl shift n gets you back the last window

ctrl shift t gets you back the last tab.

Now, ctrl shift t gets you back the last window?!?!?!?!

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE TABS? I have to open history to see where i have been.

BRING IT BACK

I read somewhere that the change was to make firefox more like chrome. So let's cut off our nose to spite our face. This was major feature that DISTINGUISHED Firefox from chrome, and worth migrating to Firefox for!

Please please wake up and smell the coffee. Large corporations spend huge sums to achieve positive differentiation, and you threw it away.

For a while now, Firefox and a few other browsers default my keyboard to navigating through web page items rather than typing letters when I click in the search bar or address bar. Then I have to click TAB (sometimes several times) to get the keyboard typing again. I have tried 4 keyboards total and they all act the same way but act normally on my Windows PC. I have done extensive investigating into why this might be happening and why its only happening in web browsers and have come up with nothing. I am using Raspbian OS on a RPi5 and have used it smoothly for about 7 months. This issue has slowly gotten worse until it is now constant. I reinstalled the OS completely and it stopped malfunctioning for a few days but came back in a hurry. I've come to you as a last resort. I am sure Firefox is not the issue but if you know of any possible reason why this might be happening and point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

How do I get rid of the requirement of having ctrl or alt in extension shortcuts? Also overriding firefox shortcuts would be nice.

I've been using my binds/shortcuts in chrome for years and I'm not adding multiple keys to all of them. I really want to use firefox as my only browser but can't because of these stupid restrictions.

I am online and trying to look at a video on cruise deck plan which have a paid subscription to and I am signed in. When I clicked on play for the YouTube video, I was told to sign in and I was already signed in. What gives?

My screen has been zoomed so I only see half of the email or image. Support at yahoo said that this is a Firefox issue. I would like to"unzoom" so I can see the full screen ar one time.

Dear Jim,

I needed to go to sleep at 3am last night to rise for a 12 noon Christmas day dinner. So I am back now.

I have not been able to drag a picture into the text of an email message.

I mark the point of insert with the cursor, go to Insert menu, select the attach picture, and it ends up at the top of the email outside my message. When I try to drag the picture into the text area, a mat covers the text area instructing to insert it here. When I release it on the hotspot, the matted area goes blank and I receive a menu message "The following files couldn't be attached: "filename.jpg". Please try again later."

I seem to be doing everything correctly. I was able to do this some time in the past.

I am wondering if the problem has to do with a memory cache problem. Do I have too many 2000 blocked emails. Maybe a security problem not allowing the attachment?

After I upgraded my system (NixOS) from 23.05 to 24.11, both Firefox and Thunderbird experience a 30 second delay between doing right click and the context menu appearing.

After clicking on a menu option, there is another 30 second delay before the menu disappears and the action is carried out.

Happens also in safe mode, and after deleting the .mozilla directory and starting from scratch.

No other GUI on the system (including non-gecko browsers) are affected.

Firefox version is 133.0.3

Is there a way to customize keyboard shortcuts through about:? If there is, it should be explained here, or if it's explained somewhere else, there should be a link here to that page. There are some utilities that are supposed to do that. One of them worked through Tools > Options, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't figure out how to use it. Another add-on lets you add shortcuts, but doesn't let you delete an exiting shortcut. I want to remove the keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+Shift+A. I have no idea how to do it.

Right-clicking on a page, image, link or whatnot, to copy/paste text/image/link is outright impossible. Only Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V somewhat save the day, but that's not enough.

Image attached shows the menu that pops-up after right-clicking. It's so long it doesn't fit on the page and has its own scroll-wheel within itself.

No options or help were found in the settings or on forums.

I always use the middle mouse button (pressing the scroll wheel) to open and close new tabs, but since the update, it doesn't work anymore and now types "=" if the cursor is in a text field. For context, I use an MX Master S3, mapped with Logi Options+.

Anyone else having this issue? How do I roll back to the previous version??

SOLVED: It was a bug with Logi Options+, not Firefox. When I hovered over the tab for the presets I had for CaptureOne, I noticed it also said Firefox. So seems something weird happened there. Deleted that preset and the issue in Firefox went away.

I couldn't find a way to delete this thread, though.
